Hey Gents,
I know it's been a while, but still making progress on the 2013 FSXBA Hornet. I've taken most of the inputs that you guys have provided me and incorporated them into the new jet. Just have a few more tweaks to do before release.
ALSO....I have had the privilege to work with Jamal "Spins" Ingram, a 3D modeler (also working with Combat Pilot), with his variant of the F/A-18 Hornet. I have mated the FSXBA flight model with his physical model. The modeling for the jet is still a W.I.P., but man it is shaping up to be a nice aircraft.
Couple of things incorporated into the new physical model are:
-Maximum Flap extension has been corrected
-Rudder toe-in incorporated (based on flap position)
-Adjusting the aircraft trim actually moves the stabilators and stick position
-Ladders, chocks, and covers have been modeled
-Weapon hardpoints and an assortment of weapons have been modeled and included
-Airbrake extension and retraction speed has been corrected
-HUD is now collimated
There are a few more things that have been done so far, but those are the big ones.
Here are a few pics
