FSXBA F/A-18C HORNET
lowery:
Hi Guys,
I'm old and grey, going on 80, and my greatest pleasure is flying beautiful aircraft in (now) P3Dv4.2. I have been following your development of the Hornet very closely; not only do I love this bird - I managed to get several hours on her in my previous life as an RAAF fighter pilot - but I greatly admire the time and effort your team has put into this freeware development. It is a great credit to you all!
You do such a good job that normally I would not raise a small issue, but this one is somewhat obscure and a lot of fltsim pilots might not pick it up quickly enough.
The aileron trim in the FA-18C_FSXBA_BA_18.2.22 version is reversed. After checking my CH controls for the correct key assignments, I tested this against a number of other aircraft and confirmed it. I checked the Air and CFG files for an easy fix but couldn't find one so I must leave that to your expertise.
You have my greatest admiration,
Roger Lowery

All,
Thanks for the good words and the feedback! Here is some feedback on your feedback. I'll be out of town for the next couple of weeks, so it might take a little bit of time to get some of these fixes done.

I did notice a lot of my key assignments were not correct any more, namely wingfold, tailhook . IIn P3D shows shift w for wings and shift q for tailhook. shift q folded my wings on final and never found the hook. Luckily I unfolded quickly and my carrier landing became a touch and go . LOL
Is there a new controls map/list?

Corvette,
No, no new assignments Sir.. I did a quick run-through of cycling the hook, wingsfold, launchbar and refueling probe. All worked as designed with both mouse clicking the switch/levers in the VC and through key commands. I might be your setup. Let me know if you figure out what the issue is.

It extends and retracts but does not seat fully in its stored position.

Hey Creeps,
Keen eye! Pretty sure that has to do with the way the payload drag effect is coded and implemented. Since it was built into the 3D model, not sure if I'll be able to fix that anytime soon. I'll ask Corrado if he can do me a solid and check it out.

Mr. Lowery,
Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback and thanks for the compliments. You're right, this probably would have gone unnoticed for a while. Good catch. Pretty sure this fix is an easy one and can be done in the .air file. If not, I'll talk to Orion when I get the chance.
Thanks again and thanks for your service.
Thanks again everyone,
Jimi

Thanks anyway Jimi.
Great plane though ! Hope to get the keys assigned soon

Have you ever thought about integrating SSW ACMI, that it is a complete and free weapons system, able also to simulate SAMs, AAA, control ships, etc ( http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php/109523-vACMI-almost-for-all) in the hornet?
Thank you!

No I haven't, first time hearing about this program. I'll take a look at it once I get back home. Thanks!
