Your screenshot is of the LAGO Tornado that was designed originally for FS2002.

Try something designed for FSX next time...

SUBS17:
My own issue with FSX payware is my own expectations on what is worth spending money on and what is not. I've looked at quite a few payware addons and they don't as of yet contain enough detail to justify a purchase. When I state detail overall I get the impression of people making outstanding 3d models and cockpits but no attention to detail on the avionics, FM and aircrafts features. Theres alot of potential in FSX for really good aircraft addons but unfortunately they don't yet reach the level where I'd go and buy one and I'd be prepared to pay good money for a properly modelled aircraft such as a Hornet or F-16. No offence to the team that made the acceleration Hornet but if it was an addon on its own as a payware I probably wouldn't buy it unless it were more detailed.(FBW, weapons, full rampstart procedure, inflight refuelling with a basket, crash modelling) Couple such features with a carrier with full ATC, LSO, MP compatibility and you'd probably have alot of jet combat simmers lining up to buy FSX. Hopefully the next version of FS might have the ability to add such features and then you could get alot more from the sim. BTW on its own the acceleration hornet does demonstrate some cool features that I hadn't seen done before in FS (and even in some of the combat sims I still use) such as a decent working carrier with the need to lower the launch bar to use the CAT and also good modelling of the landings(best out of all the sims made so far including Lockons SU33 and Janes F/A-18, Superhornet is maybe 2nd place as far as that aspect is concerned) If the team made a 2nd version of the Hornet with all the bells and whistles I'd definately buy it.

I do agree with you here SUBS, but you also have to realize the amount of work that goes into each and every aircraft, the limitations that the developers need to work around and that it therefore is just not viable to make such an advanced aircraft, because you wouldn't break even.

SUBS17:
I think in the near furture it'll be possible due to the ESP program supports that stuff.
