Searching for the F18D
lancer27:
Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find the link to the F18D v15.6 ? I have the F18C v16.1 and I am having a blast with it. I have downloaded the Tackpac addon for the airplanes and plan on upgrading them both (working on the F18C currently),but I seem to be at a loss as to where to locate v15.6 of the F18D. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Had to re-read your post, now understand you have the TMAP mods by Kea. Inside the .zip, only the "add to aicraft.cfg" file added, so I assume you are looking for the original "D" aircraft.cfg? Since "jimi" mentioned most work as going to be on the "C" model, I haven't mod'd the "D", only mildly working the CS (Capt Sim) "D". Older thread and I couldn't get the downloads to work:

Hi, I found the link you were referring to and thanks. But now it seems I have developed two new problems: 1) When I transferred the liveries I had installed into the F18D to the Tackpak version of the airplane (from the Tackpak download to upgrade the airplanes) only the ones that came with the Tackpak showed up in FSX (the VMFA-533 bird) The others I had, all the VMFA (AW) squadrons, the aggressor squadrons, the Navy Test Pilot School one, and the VX squadrons liveries didn't appear in FSX. and 2) when I selected the available F18D's to fly...upon pressing the fly button, the warning message came on screen and said, "Graphics card does not meet minimum requirements for shader support. This product requires a GeForce 3/Radeon 8500 class or better graphics card. Flight Simulator will now exit". I have never seen a warning flag like that before. FSX runs just great as I have it and the F18C is working perfectly fine. Does anyone have any ideas on what could be going wrong? Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE....Hi, the good news is that I now can load the Tackpak enhanced F18D without a graphics card flag coming up. I re-booted my machine and now I can select the F18D, press the fly button, and off I go. The bad news is that once in cockpit I have a green warning band on top of the screen which says: Hornet FCS missing or unexpected configuration. And I seem to be in the Blue Angels number 7 cockpit, the cockpit with the stop watch and smoke select switches in it although I selected the VMFA(AW)-533 livery which is the only livery I have for the F18D. The HUD says FCS Fail on it. I switched to an outside view, moved the stick and all the control surfaces work fine, the rudder works fine. The load out screen also works fine. Does anyone know of any possible reasons why I maybe getting a FCS Fail on HUD even though all the control surfaces work? Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
PhantomTweak:
Make sure you put the latest, up-to-date, HornetFCS.dll, that came with the v16.1, into your Panel.Fleet folder. Then, alias the D model's panel= lines in the [flightsim.0] (etc) sections of the D model's aircraft.cfg.
Alternatively, copy the Panel.Fleet folder from the v16.1 over to the D model's folder, and then change the panel= lines to Fleet.
I can't swear to it, but I seem to recall reading someplace the BA cockpit is the only one the D model uses, so the above methods MAY not work. I'll see if I can dig that up, if it exists.
In any event, try copying the HornetFCS.dll file over to the D model's Panel folder. I think that will fix that problem. You DID allow the v16.1 to install the correct NETFramework Release (I think it's called) in while it was installing, yes? It seems to be locked while doing this, but it's not, Go get a cuppa Joe, or a snack, or something, and just let it run. It's NOT locked up. I promise :)
Hope all this babbling helps a little...
