FSX F/A18 custom sound pack
Paddles:
Here's a short demo video how this gauge can be used.
Hope this helped to get the idea :)

FSXNP and Spaz,
THanks for the help, I normally fly in the fullscreen mode as pictured in FSXNP posts and my picture below, and noticed the AoA does not flash like the AoA bracket does in the Virtual Cockpit when the hook is not down. Just a small thing, but might help me to remember to put the hook down since you can't see the hook handle in the full screen (HUD only) view. I was not sure if the logic could be transferred from the VC AoA bracket to the Sludge Hornet's AoA bracket and if it could maybe flash at a faster rate (not very noticeable currently), but it sounds like it is not possible, will just have to check to make sure the hook is down by switching back to the VC.

Yeah, the Indexer Gauge in the Sludge is not part of the default Hornet's VC Indexer, nor does it use that same "gear down, hook up, Indexer flashing" logic.
When I fly, I use the VC to fly the pattern, then after crossing the 45 before the Ball Call, I transition to the 2D HUD view. I have both of those views (VC / 2D) and a Locked Spot view hotkeyed to my X52. Using the VC and the Locked Spot helps with my "Abeam, GEAR DOWN, HOOK DOWN" call.
Spaz...
No worries. The latest version of the Sludge will include the Indexer as the "shift-5" selectable for both the VC and 2D HUD views. Since its a required part of my landing pattern (Ball, Indexer, LineUp), I dont foresee me ever removing it. However, if someone feels like they dont use it (ie,personal preference using the HUD indexer by the v/vector), they can simply UNSELECT it...

Sludge and all, Thanks for the explanations/work. It seems good to have all the options described and then people can work it out on the equipment they have on the desktop. My setup is basic (and not setup again with the latest SludgO Hornet). Any chance for a general release of the 'SLUDGE', please Sludge? ;D TAH.
Paddles:
Guys, actually it is possible to modify the AoA indexer gauge so that it will flash when the hook is up. And obviously an additional 'hook bypass' switch will be needed. :)
