Sludge Hornet Modifications

Fellas...
My "new" hard drive crapped out (defective), so I took it back and am operating on my old recently-nuked hard drive. Give me a few days and Ill get you some new smoke effects. Right now, its looking very good, and compared to the old effect, is much less pronounced but still there. I think I got the alpha transparency down pat. Now, Im just fighting the color mixture to make it a darker brownish grey, just like the pictures. Once I get that done, Ill get the effects out for everyone to test.
Then Ill work on the Hi-G/AoA effect to narrow it down more, so it doesnt look like its "poofing" out, but more following the airstream along the LEX and up over the wing root. Anybody have any inputs about the current Hi-G/AoA effect? Too much alpha transparency? Close to the front end of the LEX? Is it positioned right? Would like some critical inputs from people that have used it, so we can improve it for everyone.

First of all thanks Sludge for the great mods to the F-18. I'm currently flying Dino's T-45C in my own "virtual Strike pipeline" training at the boat and doing other stuff to prepare me for the VRS Superbug. I tried to move over the Carrier Trap Gauge and the Up Front Control to the T-45 because I'm specifically looking for a Low Altitude Warning that I can set as well as being able to set my own Bingo level. I noticed in Dino's T-45 the bingo was always set at 2000 in the MFD and you couldn't change it. Anyway I attempted moving over the cab files for the 2 gauges and added the lines to Panel.cfg. I was able to start the Carrier Trap gauge however the font was extremely small and I couldn't see it but I didn't try any traps. Is this normal? The UFC also was visible and I was able to set a Radar Alt level but I never heard any warning when passing through that altitude. I also could not set a BINGO level...it would not let me select it and change it much like the default Dino T-45...it stayed set at 2000lbs. Any recommendations or a guide out there as to how to get these features into the T-45C? Thanks!

Thanks. The mods are alot of fun to work with, even tho it can get frustrating changing values all the time.
OK, for the bad news. I cant help you on Dino's T-45 cause I dont fly that bird at all. Also, I didn't design the UpFrontController gauge, FSXNP did. You may want to ask him for help, or he might just help you out after reading your post? I have some knowledge on how his gauges interact/interface with the FSX Hornet but not how they work with the T-45, so either Serge (FSXNP) or some other user here might chime in and help you out.

tf569, Dino Cattaneo - maker of the Goshawk T-45C - may be able to help, but as his current web page notes he may not answer your question for a few weeks:

"Since I will leave for few weeks for a businness trip, I've decided to pack the latest improvements I did on the F-35 and release an update before leaving."

Spaz,
Yes I check Dino's blog pretty often and knew he was busy so I didn't bother asking him. Luckily he is planning on a new Goshawk release eventually and maybe this will be something that will be in there since he is using the NATOPS manual to design the jet. Sludge thanks for the info. Maybe FSXNP will read this and have some input. I am guessing that there is something in the Goshawk that won't allow the BINGO level to be changed and that's transferring over to the gauge. As far as the LAW sound I was thinking maybe I needed to change the path for the sounds since they were pointed to the F-18 Sound folder and not the T-45. The LAW may have been working I just wasn't hearing the sound for that reason. I'll try that and see...
