Sludge Hornet v2.0
RedBaron94:
Hey man I'm trying to download the Version 2.0 of the sludge hornet but when I click on the links it says This Page Cannot be Displayed. It's either my IE not working or the links. Can someone please share the latest update of the Sludge Hornet?
72westy:
Any links for the v2.0 Sludge available?

I was AO in the Swiss air-force.
I worked on F-5 EF and F/A-18 CD. When I stopped working there, the biplace version (F/A-18 D) just received several updates such as color displays (left, right, bottom displays), and touch-screen UFC. Those planes cockpit look very much like the F/A-18 EF superhornet (there isn't anymore green/black menus, they're now white/black ;)). The notable ocular difference between hornet and superhornet is the form of the reactors air-intake (oval / rectangle).
I was searching for a newer version of sludge hornet when I found that people were complainning about the dead link ;D
I created a dropbox account with a dummy email address.
I did a .zip with the latest sludge 2.0 version. It originally came with an installer, but I do not have it any more. So here are the files!
You can download the .zip without a dropbox account: on the dropbox sign-up windows, look all the way down...
Put this in the fsx folder. The effect go into the effect folder and the sludge go into the simobject/planes or something like that.
I put some extended manuals in the documentation section.
You can read how to use TCN (VOR) and BCN (NDB).
You can read how to use ILS for full auto-pilot landing and full auto-pilot carrier landing (heading and altitude guidance).
You can read how to use GPS for semi auto-pilot landing (heading guidance).
As there is no A/T on the F/A-18 ABCD hornet, you have to control the power (speed) by yourself. The cage mode, vector, and AOA indexer will help you to do that.
Here are the links:
Sludgehornet 2.0, it's the plane
https://www.dropbox.com/s/3u5g0mcknotpgn4/SludgeFA18_FX.zip?dl=0
AIcarriers, it's the addon that provide a tool in the fsx toolbar to pop-up carrier everywhere in-game

Optional link:
USS Nimitz & USS Eisenhower 2.0, that's better quality carriers models. You have to tweak the AIcarrier files to load them

enjoy!

Just a note, if I may.
Orion of the FSX BA F/A-18C fame, whichever version you prefer, updated AICarriers to .NET 4.0 operation. In my opinion, and this my personal experience only, bear in mind, it is more reliable, and uses fewer computer resources when functioning. ON MY Computer ONLY. I can't speak for others, nor have I done any real "benchmark" tests on it. Other than the foregoing, it's functionality is exactly the same as Lamont Clark's .EXE version.
I personally recommend it very strongly, but again, this my personal opinion only. :)
AICarriers for .NET may be found here:

Hope this helps some people a little :)
Other than that, a big thank you to ZOmb13 for his great work on this.
I thank him also for his Military service.

I've been experimenting with jimmies FA-18C 15. X and 16.X version. When switching FCS modes the plane shoots up or down with little control. It's extremely hard to control on normal landings and carrier landings. Its probably my system but it to erratic for me.
Thus I've experimented with what FA-18 I have in my library and come to a conclusion that the best flying FA-18 if have is Sludge Hornet 2.0.
My question is what version of the Hornet Textures are compatible?
