FSXBA F/A-18C HORNET

Hi, Mike!
Yes, the short answer is that he's working on it as best he can.
The long answer is that he's traveling all over Europe for his job, and that takes up a lot of his time and effort. Doesn't leave a whole lot of either for working on the Hornet, but he's doing his best. Mostly working on the Manual for it, as far as I know, and checking out possible coding errors I find as I try my best to integrate the HARM missile into it. So, hopefully, there will be some real steps ahead when the next version is published.
BTW, I can't promise I'll have the whole HARM system 100% going by the next update, but I believe I will have a "fire-n-forget" version going. Maybe no PB or TOO functions, but if you get painted by a SAM or AAA radar you should be able to just point somewhere near the site and turn it loose. It SHOULD fly down the radar beam and nail the transmitter. A kind-of, sort-of, SP mode. It may or may not have the MFD and RWR displays, but I'm trying to get them too. MFDs are not an area I'm very familiar with, though.
I'm pretty sure it'll be able to stay on a transmitter that shuts off, and maybe even moves afterward. Best description of it I heard was from a Phantom Wild Weasel pilot. He said it has a "home on animosity" feature. It hates the radar vans it detects, and flies to them and destroys them with great glee, and accuracy.
Anyway, I'm working on it as fast as I can. Almost to the basic testing phase. More to come!
Far as I know, that's what going on right now :)
Does that help at all?

Thanks' Pat. Just wondered, and I understand. It must be a lot of work, especially trying to work around traveling for work! Thanks for the update!
Take care,
Mike

Sorry, just a little joke, if you recall the commercial with "I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV..."
Gad, it's been a long time since I saw that commercial...sheesh... :P ::)
Have fun, all!

I've tried twice to download the 18.3 version and I keep getting a Queued (pending resolution error on parent folder). I extracted on Zip Extractor to get this queued signal and I am thinking I should try another Zip file. My question is what has worked. I feel the error is on my end as all the replies have been positive about the FSXBA F/A -18C Hornet. I'm using FSX Stream, which I just loaded into my computer. Appreciate any help.
PhantomTweak:
Try using 7Zip to unzip it. That is, IMHO, the most versatile zipfile manager I've ever found.
It's readily available, and it's freeware. Just Google 7Zip .
I won't promise that's your entire problem, since I don't have Zip Expander, but I'd bet on it. Additionally, Jimi often uses 7Zip to create the zipfiles, so it's an excellent choice for unzipping it :D
Also, if you have Win10, please o please tell me you didn't allow Steam to install it's self or FSX into C:\Program Files(X86). If it did, I strongly suggest un-installing it, at least FSX, and installing someplace else. This is relatively simple and easy with Steam.
Win10, especially, has a severe problem with allowing alterations to ANY programs or files in that folder, as well as C:\Program Files. It will make your life MUCH simpler and easier to keep FSX out of either of those two folders.
Hope this is a little help :)
