FSX F/A18 custom sound pack

FNP, good work. Looks like the Super Hornet NATOPS diagrams have 'gone to somewhere else' so I'll post a compilation of HORNET NATOPS landing speed graphs and with the Goshawk AoA/External Approach light graphic to have an all in one reference.
Paddles:
Spaz, browsing the Super Hornet NATOPS I've found some good info to use in my Betty gauge. I guess the legacy Hornet use the same numbers for its GPWS.
Currently my gauge provides a single Altitude warning as per 2.18.5.3 (though no matter barometric or radar). Well, there are still two things to do: 1) create a gauge to set both 2) BARO and RADAR altitudes. I think a separate touchpad-like gauge will do, as we don't have any GPWS settings on the Accel Hornet MFD's. That's it.... ;)
SpazSinbad:
fsnp, being 'old-fashioned' I fly with NO SOUND! but your ideas seem to be excellent. ;D I like the 'sound of silence' - no distractions.
Paddles:
The gauge is ready. I used Superhornet's UFCD concept to implement for it is pretty informative and simple to code. Currently this gauge controls two GPWS settings - barometric and radar altitude warning, as well as auto landing light switch. There are still two empty slots for something useful, I guess...

FSXNP...
Since Im grounded for the time from playing with the SuperBug (technical difficulties), Im back to flying the Sludge Hornet. So consider me in active test pilot status again. I got your gauges and will install them tonite, and give you some good feedback. Does the one you sent to me, have the correct ALA behavior (no two light combos)? Ill have to get rid of some of the stuff on the Sludge Hornet, as its almost maxed on gauges. But will remove some to test yours.
And if this goes well, and you feel up to doing another "project", is there a way you can make a Electronic Fuel Display gauge (C/D Hornet) and have that selectable from your UFC Touchpad? I would build it 1/2 the size of the GPS panel comes up in the Sludge Hornet. The reason I ask this is the A-model FSX default analog fuel panel just sucks for reading, especially for carrier landings (ball calls w/proper fuel). Would be cool to have a gauge that looked like the EFD on the C/D models. Ill include a picture. It shows the same readings (n2, EGT, Fuel Flow, nozzle position for Left/Right engines w/Totalizer, Bingo, and Time on the right side but in digital readouts). Also, if JR gives you the OK, I would suggest installing his refueling panel as a selectable Touchpad option.
Just throwing ideas out there and see what sticks. Really great work, BTW!! Too bad we (JR, Orion, me, you) didnt get this started much earlier in the game in '08.
