Sludge Hornet v2.0
hrnet940:
The hook disappears when I am on land airports too. That is why I mentioned it. I remembered that the carriers can have this problem, but not on land. I like having control of my trim for the entire flight and have become quite good at trimming the older Sludge Hornet, 1.2 I think. I also fly the VRS Super Bug and love the ATC APR on it, but that's a Super Hornet. This is an aircraft, your hornet, that you can mush it around in corners and really have fun flying it. The other one handles very different. I am liking yours to fly on and off the boat more. We up here in Canada have model A and B hornets that just had an update a number of years ago so I enjoy being able to see the cockpit that has that style engine and fuel gauge. Thanks for keeping this bird alive!!
Thanks,

OK, thanks for that update. I'll look into it once I get my head wrapped around this Installer. Also, yes, this version of the Sludge will have no auto-trim, you'll be able to set it yourself, til I can figure out a better method for allowing the XML to auto-trim.
Thanks for the good words, and seriously, I LOVE the Legacy Hornet. After the Miramar trip and real-world Legacy sim time (thanks again, CAPT Bromley), I still wish I had the skills to really code and get the look and the feel of that sim.

OK, change 10 to revision B. As I'm expecting my new processor (AMD FX 8320) in tomorrow and will be dismantling my computer to install/test it, I'm gonna release Sludge v2.0 TC1 tomorrow as just the FA-18A+ Basic/FX versions in .ZIP files. It will be a whole package with basic install instructions and a quick overview of changes for you to test out.
Now, keep in mind, this is MOSTLY a functional check of the new style/system I'm employing while still giving you something to get your hands on and test out. Meaning, backup (cut/paste outside the FSX/Airplanes folder) or delete, any prior Sludge installs you may have done prior to installing this TC1 version.
I'll list some of the changes I've done, but mostly want to make sure it installs into everyone's system FIRST and FOREMOST and that you get all the gauges, textures, and effects. As mentioned before, the PA PID.XML will be disabled in this version, so when you attempt landings (land/carrier), you'll have to set the trim manually.
Other than that, if it installs correctly (you get ALL exterior textures, the 2D/VC/Gauges, Betty voice sounds, and the effects work), by all means, have fun and test her out... especially around the boat and using Serge's vLSO.
I'm mainly doing this to get it out there before I do this processor upgrade IN CASE something goes wrong (they are machines built by humans, after all) and I'm unable to continue working on the Sludge for the near future.

Is this going to be a wide release or just here on FSDT?
