Tree...
Just got your post. Will see what can be done. If nothing else, Ill just get you the full files with simple install instructions. It will be big, but keep in mind, that you wont get any install errors as it will be manually done. Since Raz made the installer in Win7, Im kinda powerless to help unless he comes up with an idea or fix. Just like the UAC thing, that I have no idea about, being a WinXP user.
Also, I've just been upgrading the Sludge with some really awesome fixes, in conjunction with Jimi of FSXBA. He's got some really good ideas for the aircraft.cfg and the fa-18.air file that make the Sludge even more stable and easy to control. Put it this way, when doing a 30 deg AoB turn, the Sludge will now HOLD 30 deg very easily with little stick input. And of course, I have an even better version of the G-Vapor (alpha blends into the wing better), and EG Smoke (now one effects file; lower alpha; better blending) effects. The smoke effects are now one file, no more EG_Smoke_DARK/Smoke. I figured out a better gear compression too, so that its even more stable, and the nose gear gets more bounce on the strut itself, but the jet itself is more stable on touchdown. Great for carrier landings... if done right (about 700 ft/min RateOfDescent), when you trap, you dont NOSE DIVE into the carrier deck.
So all in all, this Sludge will be part of what v1.3 will look like.
BTW, anybody up for testing the newest Sludge mods? If so, would you rather it be in the SHCHI.exe installer or as a manual install? Or I can make it both? Let me know what you'd prefer.
Later
