General Category > Unofficial F/A-18 Acceleration Pack board
Microsoft GAVE US PERMISSION!!!

Now that that is over, hey Sludge, I'm pretty excited for the next release. I was curious if we will ever be able to get the flaps to go down to their full position. Sorry for all the requests, but this thing is really starting to come together nicely. ;D

Take whatever impression you want from the board. In the end, of all your posts, there was very little mention of what could be done to improve the FSX Hornet, specifically. As the board is named "Unofficial F/A-18 Acceleration Pack board", hoped you'd keep your posts to just that, not "VRS this", "Tac Pack" that... VRS has their board for that. At least SUBS keeps his posts in the context of what could be done to improve the FSX Hornet as well.
--- Quote ---In addition I'd like to remind everyone that the Acceleration Hornet is a F/A-18A and the VRS is a E, so I account for the lack of weapons in Accel's Hornet as a tribute to the real A's inability to carry weapons without a retrofit with C components (much like Finland and Spain did). Both planes are amazing, but the VRS is really in a class of its own even when you subtract all combat ability from it.

--- Quote ---Don't forget that even without ALL the weapons and weapon related sim stuff like the Countermeasures Dispensing System and the Electronic Warfare Self-Protection Suite the VRS is still an amazing aircraft purely from the flight dynamics, and avionics simulation perspective.

--- Quote ---F/A-18s of early versions had a problem with insufficient rate of roll, exacerbated by the insufficient wing stiffness, especially with the heavy underwing ordnance loads. The first production F/A-18A flew on 12 April 1980.

If you dont consider the first two quotes bragging, then we definately disagree on definitions. A duck is a duck in my book. Also, you are incorrect, the F/A-18A can carry weapons in real life. No need for extra drama from myself or Virtuali (he can speak for himself), and obviously, since he hasnt deleted your post this hasnt bothered him. But, if you want, you can delete your own posts. Simply log-in, and when you are browsing thru the threads, you can delete your own posts by clicking on "delete". You dont have to, but thats your choice.

Yes, thats another thing "on the list". Others have asked me that, because they also noticed that the full flaps position is about 5-10 degrees higher on the exterior model than it is in real life.
Once we have a fully workable pre-compiled exterior model with all the animations done, Ill try to get that fix done too.

Yes, I already said I violated the rules, it is unnecessary for you to repeat my own admitted violation unless you're just unable to move on. I was indeed incorrect about the A/B and weapons ability, thinking of the F-18L instead. I also never mentioned the Tac Pack knowing full well that it wouldn't be appropriate, so don't attribute that to me. That's kinda why I never even brought up VRS weapons at all, just wanted to talk avionics and was hoping to steer the conversation towards a more accurate avionics sim for the Accel hornet but unfortunately you immediately got defensive and YOU mentioned the weapons/radar/other features first. *shrugs*
Lastly, praise and bragging are different words. So apparently we do disagree on definitions. Bragging would mean I had something to do with the development and wanted to flaunt it. Or that I wanted to flaunt some sort of advantage over everybody else here and that's just comical. As I stated in my previous posts, I used to use the Accel Hornet and loved it, and loved your mods too, I just went too far apparently in praising the VRS hornet in a non-VRS forum. If you read the quote you copied last you would clearly see that the same level of praise was given to your plane as well, but that's conveniently ignored when you obviously took something personally. The only thing I can think of that can be taken as 'bragging' is that I'm able to actually run the VRS alongside FSDT airports, but that's not my fault, it's the result of my hard work and how I choose to spend my money. I jokingly half-wondered if screenshots with settings on high are bragging to you, but that's purely in jest.
I also wasn't speaking for virtuali, I was stating fact: I PM'd him requesting a removal of my posts and I expected him to do it. Snide remarks about 'bad commercial during the superbowl' will be met with snide remarks about the moderator making all the hurt go away.
In summary: I made a mistake even mentioning the VRS, admitted it twice, am moving on, and I hope you do the same. FSDT rocks and I am not going anywhere, so I'll see you around the skies.

Guys chill, there is no harm I believe in mentioning the VRS Superhornet here is because it is just as often that the Accl Hornet is mentioned in the VRS Forum. There are plenty of comments here on the VRS SH on other posts its not a big deal. Regarding the Tac pack sure some people only like to fly from point A to point B and not shoot anything no problem if they do not wish to have those features or for a dev not to implement them as I assure you at some point we will see a combat sim with a hornet if not in FSX then more likely 7G, DCS or FighterOps.
