Yeah, no big deal. I flew with the VRS for a while, and even tho alot of the systems were fun, especially the weapons and RWR, I found it was lacking in the landing phase... even to the point of being almost "floaty" on approach. Plus, given that I only have a mid-level system, the slideshow simming was not fun at all, 10-15 FPS sucks. Had to either disable all my sceneries or fly out in the middle of the ocean to get even respectable frame rates. I have NO IDEA how some of those people who make the good Bug youtube videos get such good frame rates?! Must have MONSTER systems?
Again, no big deal, we can all have different opinions... thats why Im back here and enjoying the newfound life of the FSX default and Sludge Hornet. To clarify, I meant, I also read on their boards that the ICLS and TACAN arent working for the Multiplayer missions correctly (ie, Orions SFCarrier2) and thats one of my fav's. This is a requirement for me. That multiplayer mission lets me practice alot of carrier pattern work along with others, so thats also why I was happy to come back to the default and the Sludge.
Yeah, would like to fly anytime... just not this weekend. Im heading down to Fort Worth to watch the PGA Tour, Colonial on Sunday.
Take care and have a great weekend

Well actually I got TACAN to work in MP with SFCARRIER2 mission in the VRS Superhornet. ;)
My view is that its a very good idea to continue to improve the acceleration Hornet and make it better ideally it would be cool if there was the ability to carry external stores and also to drop them even better to be able to launch those weapons. Its pointless to compare the VRS Superhornet to the acceleration one as the level of complexity is quite immense in the VRS and everything is alot simpler in the acceleration hornet. In a perfect world though there would be both and they would both have full weapons and MP combat.

FREE alternative to people who dont want a VRS product thats getting more expensive by the day (ie, tac pack addon, ~$40), or those Sludge

You're kidding right the TAC pack is working weapons and combat enviroment I'd gladly pay 3 times that much for combat in FSX $40 is a bargain. I deally you would want the TAC pack to have an interface to allow the accel hornet to drop bombs too. LMAO a Hornet sim without combat is like a rifle without bullets. ;D

No, Im not kidding. Maybe a bargain for you, but FSX will never be a "combat sim", and Ill never waste the money to try to make it as such. It can EMULATE a combat environment, but will never be a combat sim. Ill save my $40 for a real combat sim.
Im perfectly happy with the default and Sludge Hornets in FSX. Will try to add more, but in the meantime, I dont need to waste another $40 in addition to the startup $40-50 for a product that still isnt a straight up combat simulator.
Let people have their opinions, and you can have yours. Cool?

Sludge,
I've been flying your mod-ed Hornet now for 3 days and LOVE it. Nice job! I'm really liking the new flight dymanics.
As to combat in FSX: Yeah it's cool, but I bought FSX for exactly what the name say; a Flight Simulator. There are plenty of combat sims out there, and to each his own, but flying itself is my passion. And you just made flying the Hornet much better. Thanks. ;D
