Also, it will help those that like to change their jets to suit their particular likings. Say in regards to the IFLOLS gauge (not the FLOLS on the carrier)... some like this, others cant stand it. This way, it'll be far easier to mod and you'll only have to make a few line changes to the panel.cfg file to get what you want. Once the base files are setup in the FSX\Gauges folder, the only thing you'll have to worry about is getting the panel.cfg gauge syntax right. The more people that get into modding, the more we win....

Excellent. I was actually considering putting together a "Pyro Hornet" that was going to be similar to this for the exact same reason. Glad to see you're making some headway on it.

Making some really good headway on it. Ive got all gauges and textures synced up, so that you only have to do a few mods and ALL your Hornets (even the default if so desired) can have all the same things the Sludge and/or FSXBA Hornet have with a few, simple mods. The texture side is a TAD BIT trickier to make happen than the gauges, as you have to do a local ALIAS folder and then have a main default F-18 FALLBACK folder, but once that's done, bamm-o, you can then add the aircraft.cfg entry and it will sync right up. Works like a champ.
Plus, I'm finding that the Capt Sim Hornet adaptations are coming long equally well. I just have to remember to hit the rack at a decent time so I dont make boneheaded mistakes that make me backtrack the next day to clear up something simple. And, as before, after I get out a FULL RELEASE of the Sludge v2.0, I will do a limited FSDT release here for CS Weapon implementation to all Sludge variants.

Update from last night's work. Along with ALL the textures (not just the NASA HARV), I can also include the Capt Sim Delta Hornet, if people want. Things have gone soo well in re-configuring the gauges and espcially the textures that its now a snap to update and include ALL the previous textures (some default, Ray Gagnon's, and Micro's) into the Test Candidate release. Once you get the hang of it, its soo easy.
Also, I will DISABLE the PA PID (Powered Approach Proportional-Integral-Derivative) XML for the time being, as its still too "notchy" to use well, so you will have to set trim manually when dirty. You'll still have the Trim-Weight-Fuel gauge that comes up, so you can see the Trim settings without having to look anywhere else.
Most of the gauges should work as before. I've added the freeware VC Shake gauge package that "shakes" the VC during medium to high Gs and gives a rattling sound during high Gs. Also, have reconfigured Doug Dawson's Sound gauge so that IF you have a USB headset along with outside speakers, the Betty warnings will happen in your headset. If you dont and just use speakers, you'll get them through your regular speakers.
The Capt Sim gauges have been reworked and included into the littany of gauges in the Sludge Hornet. The 2 CS gauges (ACLoad and Animations Control) are grouped in the same Window, and they are positioned at the upper left and right. They are "special" case gauges, so they will remain visible even when you switch views.

Me too. Especially once I release it and start getting feedback from you guys about the installation (good/bad) and if the jet works as advertised.

I too am looking forward to flying it and getting you some feedback on its handling and landing characteristics. I like the Test bird and have been flying it quite a bit. I always replace the default hornet with yours.
I hate to ask this here, but here it goes. I just tried to register on your forum Sludge and Christian Snow is not the answer to the question for registering. What is the answer then? Please!
