Sludge Hornet Modifications

[SpazSinbad]

cap, great video from good perspective showing about 15 seconds wings level in groove and good strong corrections I guess. Nice. The nose does not seem to move much (on speed) good lineup, strong power corrections to stay on that meatball.

Do you think that I can have both the Sludge and the FSX honet installed at the same time? Or anyone else that knows. Thank you

That's one of the points I made to Sludge when I originally pitched him the idea of making the Sludge Hornet a separate SimObject.  Not only for multiplayer (mismatched aircraft in missions), but also ease of distribution.  In other words, yes, you can have both the default Hornet and Sludge Hornet installed at the same time.

Fellas...

Im at home and working on getting the Sludge v1.2 TC1 download into one .zip folder for manual install.  This wont be a wide-release, so I will send the link to most of the board members with one request.  You provide criticisms (ie, EG_Smoke too transparent, G-vapor comes on too early at 4.5 Gs... should be 5.5 Gs, etc) when you get a chance.  If you dont get the PM with the .zip folder link and would like to try, PM me with a request and Ill get you the link.

Thanks

Sludge,

Saw you pop on skype.  Don't know if you can stay or not.  Either way, give me a call when you can.

[Sludge]

Fellas...

Im working the download now, so it should be ready to go shortly.  Ill put a message out here when its done and when I've posted the link to people!

Standby.

Thanks
Sludge

Just sent out two batch PMs with the link.

Working on more.  If you dont have a link within 10 mins, let me know...

I cant send anymore for an hour.  I ran into FSDTs limit of 20 PMs p/hour.

I'm up on Skype right now for any problems.  My Skype ID is:  fgrimley32

How many people did you give it to?

Well, obviously only twenty (as of your post anyways), since that's your PM limit per hour, but how many were you intending on?

Thx Sludge.

Will try it out as soon as I am home.

Will give you a feedback.

Thx

Sooner (lol, I am getting better at this everytime),

Hello Sludge.
Shift+4 ,5 6 are different as per your Features in the Info-file in your FA18 v1.2TC1 Zip. Shift+6= GPS, Shift+5= trafic info, Shift+4= Black-box. No big deal, but some new-comer may get confused. Carrier Nimitz waiting at KSEA Bremmerton. Back to flying. Thanks again for the Nice FA/18 Sludge Hornet. Bdw: Easier to brake now on the runway. Herb

Herb...

Thanks and noted.  Will fix that later on as I have plenty of integrations left and havent even started on the CHAFF/FLARE effect yet, but will get that fixed.

Look at this video I just found and was put out recently.  Definately shows some problems we have with depicting the Hornet cockpit.  The HUD physical brackets, when viewed from head-on are not nearly as thick and the indexer is very thin and canted up.  It can even be read even tho the cam is mounted on top of the JHMDS.  Look at 0:45 to see where the cam is located (its dark red).

Enjoy.

The default Hornet is the closest Hornet out there to being the real thing.  We still should mod it more to be spot on.

Sonofa...

Never forget about you, my friend.  Its always good to hear from ya and also will be good to get your opinions of the Sludge and its newer effects.

EVERYONE...

Here's the newest ALA lights.  The Green and Amber are now as bright as the Red, 'nother oversight on my part.  Simply unzip and copy/paste over the old ones in the FSX\EFFECTS folder.
