Did you see the Swiss, Kuwati and Malay Hornets a few posts up?

Spectacular pack.

One question. It Isnt too overweight? I mean 12700 kg of empty mass is too big, I think latest legacy bugs weights something around 11 tons.

[+Dave 2,322]

Are you saying that the Hornet makes your ass look too big?

[ArturR 17]

Yeah lol you know this dress looks bad on me with that big ass

[+EricJ 4,238]

It got to the point we most of us were like..."Ugh I never want to see another F-18 again."

 

I think so... it has been a long time since they have been on the shelf...

Lets send the Hornet to Jenny Craig.

[+CrazyhorseB34 937]

You can't please everyone.

[+Dave 2,322]

Its supposed to do that.

Terrific work guys! Especially cockpit! It now looks like the "stock" ones!

May I ask about the FM?

With the F/A-18A FM I currently use, the wings break off the fuselage at high G.

I am wondering if the FM in this package is different from the previous one.

No...you can still over-G the aircraft.

 

The FM is one of the 'beta' things about the aircraft...it's a bit too responsive in some areas.

 

Now, having said that, in the real aircraft, you can over-G it using some sort of switch that overrides the G limiter.

 

So in some ways, it sort of mimics real life...

Actually if the fixes I made back in September ended up in the pack, all variants should be limited to roughly 7,5G, atleast in hard mode...

[FastCargo 412]

Oh, totally missed that...thanks Brain!

Is it me, or Spanish decals are missing?

The various decals.inis refer to che "C-15" folder, but I only get "FA-18X" folders from the various zips uploaded (even from "Decals.7z" uploaded on 26/11).

Thank you!

and thank you Brain32.

Downloading now...

 

Intended as constructive feedback:

In the screenshots for this package: the F/A-18D looks the most real, because the panel lines are more subtle.

Amazing work, guys !!! The new pit is awesome.

;)

[future_tuskegee_airman 13]

Best darn set of legacy Hornets I've ever flown! You guys are tops! Thanks!

[+Hans Topp 115]

Great work, it really great, but in beta 1.1 released no spanish f-18??? Bug or not to do, thanks a lot, and Merry Christmas for everyone

[+EricJ 4,238]

In all honesty (I think it was mentioned here, maybe not) but we were looking for three per type. SidDogg is USN, so he made a plethora of USN skins, and well I did too. But the EF-18 wasn't forgotten, it just wasn't done.

[+Hans Topp 115]

Thanks EricJ, have a nice day, and if you will made the ef-18 tell me. Bye bye

 

[+EricJ 4,238]

The biggest issue is just decals, the rest is easy, etc. i.e. the actual numbers that are on their jets by squadron is hard to find for me.

 

I know to go on scramble.nl but I'd like a list rather than playing a guessing game.

Can't any of this stuff be utilized in the new Hornets to make a new Spanish version (with permissions of course)?

[+EricJ 4,238]

Yeah...

***NEW****

08. Feb. 2013

 

Small cockpit update, first releasing it here as the pack is big and update is small while installation is simple so you don't have to re-download the whole pack again if you already have it.

 

Here is the picture of what is changed/improved:

 

As you can see, lights and screens are much easier to read now, for those that are into modeling - I forgot to add self-illuminate and that's why they turned out so dull.

 

 

Installation: Since we have a gazillion of variants and there's no point in me duplicating all that now I packed just the basic 4 different cockpit versions:

 

 

HornetA - put that one in all versions of A Hornet + B Hornet

HornetCe - early Hornet C version, intended for early C's and D's

HornetC_94 - intended for 94 variants both C and D

HornetC - intended for 03 variants again for both, C and D

 

Basically just keep an eye on the lod names in respective variants and you should be ok.

 

 

Update for E Hornet is also done but I will handle that with master SuperHornet manager - EricJ
