Searching for the F18D

--- Quote ---I have Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 v 14.0.24210.0, which I believe was installed along with the F-18C.

The latest version I have is 14.0.23506, so as far as I know, that's what the v16.1 installed. Mine works fine. If yours works properly with the newer version, that's great. I would check your list, and see if that's installed too. I can't say that the newer version ISN'T the right one, I'm just saying mine works fine with the older version.
Just a heads-up :)

Hi, I opened the model config file and the file names were for the F-18C. So I changed them to match the names in the D model. I checked the aircraft config file and made sure that for model it was equal to the A-A variant of the F-18D v15.6. I started FSX, selected the F-18D A-A variant and.....No flag. The flag was gone but the strange thing is that an F-18C loaded and was rotating in the display box in VMFA(AW)-533 markings. I selected an airport, pressed fly now and I was in the Blue Angels cockpit with the stop watch and smoke switches. And also, unfortunately, I still had the green ban on top of the screen that said Hornet FCS-missing or unexpected configuration. So after some time thinking and deliberating and also re-reading your earlier post on maybe the Blue Angels cockpit is the only cockpit the F-18D uses, I have decided that I can live with flying around in the Blue Angel cockpit. I however seem to still have the green ban and FCS Fail on the HUD issue. I was wondering if you say that v14.0.23506 is working for you, should I give it a try, or would the later version that I have it make trying it mute?

I would see about install the version I listed. You can have several versions running concurrently (big word for the week :D ). The v16.1 autoinstaller installs that version, iirc. Just run the installer and select it from the menu, and it should install it for you. Remember, during the installation of the C++ Redistributable, it may SEEM to lock up, but it's not. Just let it go until it's all the way done.
Also, did you put the Hornet_FCS.DLL that comes with the v16.1 into every Panel folder you can find? Better to have it in too many Panel folders than not enough, ya'know?
Good luck!

Do you prefer the Blue Angels model with BOTH front and rear pit views or the Fleet model with ONLY the front cockpit view? I can save you a lot of hassle by giving you a link to the latest D models with TacPack and all my liveries if you want - it'll just be a bigger download for you. Bear in mind the liveries for the C models may not work seamlessly with the D model.

Hi, the version of C++ Redistributable that you have comes with the F-18 v16.1? I am wondering why it did not seem to install it on my machine? In theory, I should also have the version you mentioned but when I checked Control Panel>Programs and Features, I did not see v14.0.23506 on the list. The latest my list says I have is v14.0.24210. Could it possibly be there somewhere hidden?
@Kea
Hi, A TacPack enabled D model would be very nice...Thanks. I am not caring if it has just the front cockpit or both. Basically what I am trying for is to build up a Navy aggressor and Marine Corp fleet of aircraft to fill out my FSX hanger.
