Sludge Hornet Modifications
usaf ret:
thanks sludge. Kind of suspected that but wanted to make sure. Wasn't sure if it was just an update or totally new. Always like to check first. tks...
Sludge:
Much thanks fellers...
Well, hope everyone enjoys it, thats why I do this... and of course, so we can trap like crazy (and realistically as possible in FSX)! Its good to hear the enthusiasm and Im happy to have it finally out there.
Just wish I had FSX modeling skillz, because right now, thats the hold up to getting us a collimated HUD. Absolutely CANNOT DO IT without the remodeling/re-animating of the decompiled Hornet interior model. And I mean, you have to re-model everything ("mousepoints", buttons, animations, and anything that moves) in the interior model before HUD collimation work can begin.
Anyway, since this is done and will be a while before any major releases come from me, the only thing I have to ask... try to find a real life 3D game modeler who would help me re-animate the default model, so we can get a collimated HUD. I will even pay the guy well for any help given!

Thank You Sludge for the mod. About Tanker: KC-135T2.ZIP this is only a modification to KC-135T1..
KC-135T v1.9 Patch
This is a patch for "KC-135T v1.85 for FS2002/2004", filename "kc-135t1.zip". This installer presumes you have it installed in "...Aircraft\KC-135T" folder. If you installed the original package in different folder, you will have to overwrite old files manually. My question:
Do we need the KC-135T1 installed first or did your installation keep care of it? I started Sludge F18 at KSEA on the ground: got RAD blinking in the hud. How do I set it to default to Alt without going to Shift+2 every time a load the plane?. Herb
Sludge:
Herbie...
I would say just delete your current KC-135 package (or just cut/paste it from your FSX/SIMOBJECTS/AIRPLANES folder and move it to your desktop, or wherever?). Then download/install the KC-135T.zip stand-alone tanker that I have in my sig. This is a culmination of several KC-135's thats been made flyable for FSX with minimal installation difficulties. It doesnt have an installer, but has decent instructions, so that you can manually install it. It doesnt need any updates, as they have already been incorporated into the aircraft folder. Also, there is only 1 version, the Navy Drogue in the package, but if you install it and you want the airforce boom version , I still have those files, so I can send them to ya.
Hope that helps
