Well, I get rid of the clock by using the HUD Control Panel. I get it to read simply "00", which has been good enough for me. Just bring up the HUD control and cycle thru the clock switches til you get that... sorry, thats the best I have for now. As far as the ",4" I think it meant "no scanlines"? I'm basing that on reading the very original default Hornet and before modifying it for the new HUD, it says ", 4, no scanlines". Thats my best guess, definately not sure though.

Much thanks! Will try those out. Before I do, any reason you use such a wide wheelbase (ie the -9.90, 9.90)? Has it made things more stable? As well as the -8.00 for the nosegear, unless thats a misprint just missing the "1"? In my config, I tried to keep maintain the specs to a certain degree but as we all know, sometimes that doesnt work out. So far, my tricycle dimension have been OK (-18.00 and -35.80), but will try yours out to see what happens.

I didn't make it. I copied it from a post on a forum but I can't recall where. It seems to help so I use it. I don't know who posted it.
Of course, there is more to carrier flying.
SpazSinbad:
Sludge, thanks for checking. I'll set the minimal clock as required.

I am not "crashing" in missions or in free flight. Detect damage is checked as well.
A trap example is shown. The important thing is that it was smooth not trying to tip over or flop around. A cat 4 launch is shown and an F/A-18D VC trap is shown -----at heavier weight.

Ok, just wanted to know what your results were and how it worked for you. Thanks for the feedback. I just got done trying out your settings last nite (I'm at work now) and it looked very uncompressed, so I went back to my settings. Your advice on my setup was helpful though, especially the unstableness in taxiing even at low taxi speeds, which I rectified. All in all, minus a working carrier TACAN/ILS, I've been pretty happy with the Hornet at this point. I recently even bought the Capt Sim addon, so I can use that one along with other settings. Its alot of fun.
Anyway, again thanks for the feedback and it was cool to see your pics and the info. included. BTW, have you seen some of the newer YouTube videos that others have posted with the New HUD? I guess our collective HUD replacement work is getting its own life now outside of this forum... thats the point right? To experiment and if successful, pass that knowledge on to others. Much credit to DOUM as well, he was alot of help there!
