Viggen 644 Posted March 7, 2014 Figured I should ask before I add Janes F/A-18 to my Amazon cart. Are there any newer F/A-18 sims out? My searching hasn't provided me with any hope. Doesn't matter if it's Legacy Hornets or Super Hornets. I'm not looking for Falcon levels of realism, but certainly more than what Strike Fighters would offer. And before you suggest any payware items for FSX, I'm looking for doing more than shooting down clouds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macelena 1,070 Posted March 7, 2014 There was an F-18 Korea, but i don´t know if it was a variant of any other game or what. I googled it for nothing really interesting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fubar512 1,350 Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) There is Seven-G (which keeps getting its intro date pushed further and further into the future), but one almost gets the impression that it's turning into vaporware. Jane's is currently still the benchmark, the Graphsim Hornet series is very simplified by comparison. Before you dismiss all the FSX addons as being useless, PM 531Ghost.

Skyviper 1,101 Posted March 7, 2014 Operation Enduring Freedom .. but the graphics are seriously lacking compared to SF North Atlantic. I remember seeing this video .... ts for a classic flight sim released back in 2000 $9.99 here at this site http://www.gog.com/game/f_a_18e_super_hornet Microsoft FSX F-18 This is neat I didn't know Microsoft had in them to make something like this.

+streakeagle 871 Posted March 7, 2014 While I down own it and haven't flown it, I understand the VRS Superbug with TACPACK is a very good way to go. I have never been vert interested in the Super Hornet and as such never flew Jane's F/A-18 very much. I would like to fly the original F/A-18A and as such can't wait for DCS F/A-18C, which is close enough for my purposes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stratos 3,192 Posted March 7, 2014 You can fly the Hornet in F4 BMS, using F-16 avionics, but should be ok. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/wb9yaniff70" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JediMaster 451 Posted March 7, 2014 SH made an F/A-18 sim in 1993 IIRC. There was also iMagic's iF/A-18E and Jane's F/A-18. For the 21st century, the only non-MSFS Hornet sims are the Graphsim ones, the last one I recall being based on the Iraq 2003 conflict. So it's pretty much SF2 variants for me until ED gets theirs out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
