NEW Realistic HUD for the Hornet

<< < (8/30) > >>

neutrino:
Well, that's much better - the HUD horizon bar is now where it needs to be - on the horizon  ;D

I notice your altimeter is reading "-350" (which means you have a high barometric pressure), so you can switch to radar altitude from the panel (RDR) to get the actual altitude  8)

Wiley...

I know what you mean, its almost soo fun you forget that youre using it to land on the carrier.  To me, this was the "holy grail" for the default Hornet that I was looking for to hold me down til the SuperBug gets here.  As you can tell in some of my initial screenshots, I was all over the place just trying to take it all in and get a picture taken.  I swear I heard that controller's voice from "Airplane" in my head:  "900 ft, 300ft, 700ft, he's all over the place... what an &*$ hole."  Wonder how long Neutrino played with it before he was able to settle down to get his movie made?  Which is one of the best for FSX Hornet carrier landings, IMO.

I think you are right about the upcoming roar we will hear when this gets put out in full release.  Man, people will be clamouring for it and talking about it AT LEAST until the FSX Superbug gets here.

Anyway, glad to see you are having a good time with this

Sludge:
Hey JR,

How are you?  Look at what youve done.  Grown men, home on saturday nite, playing a friggin flight simulator!

Actually, its not a big deal since Im stuck in Oklahoma.  But Im sure some of you others are in far better, target rich environments?!

neutrino:
Haha, you have to blame Aces for this  ;D

A-ha, I did wonder about that but wasn't smart enough to click the switch, anyway, too busy taking note of the HUD display.
