Sludge/Combat Hornet Integrator - Released

[Victory103]

Just checking back in now that I have a somewhat faster ISP "downrange". Able to download the test version and flew her with the new airfile, no issues up to FL400 and Mmo 1.4+, worked all the systems including a quick tank from a KC-135, and some form w/ a AI Super Bug. Installing vLSO .3b to take her to the boat next. Just a question on the trim, are you manually holding the stick to get the 12 NU or trimming for field takeoff? Also, put most of the files in the CS Delta and for some reason I have no landing gear at 1 LOD, the contact points seem fine and the aircraft sits right on the ramp, not sure if this is something to do with the loader/config gauge? I was never able to get the SCHI working, so I have to manually move files, no issues in the past.

The only thing I have thats AUTO in the Sludge Hornet for normal field takeoffs is the 0.8 NU trim but that stays until weight-off-wheels, then it stops and lets the pilot decide. However, there are big changes coming with v1.2 DELTA, 'cause of the feedback from Chris (Mike's son, real-world USMC Hornet driver).

Also, in regards to the CS Delta Hornet and my files not crossing over, I have made some manual installs on this same thread and dont know if you did those or not? But, if you can wait a week or two, I'll try to get those out with the release of v1.2 DELTA, as a manual install as well.

Can't wait for the new D stuff!

Sludge,
No issues and yeah I am one of I guess few with SCHI issues and did the manual install earlier, not sure what I did on the 1.2, probably a fat-finger issue.

Great read on the real world sim/pilot reports, I have a Super Bug buddy I need to look up at Lemoore.

Just threw in the sludge delta. Ended up with:

1. Not being able to hear anything, no sounds whatsoever.

2. Load management not working. E.G If I load 3 tanks, Hit load. Screen Flashes. Weps are gone. HUD Ctrl panel comes up.

Any ideas?

Just threw in the sludge delta.

OK, what does that mean specifically? Did you use the SHCHI.exe auto-installer with CS Delta Hornet install option checked? Or did you use the MANUAL install, follow the directions and then you get the problems listed?

Hi Guys

For some reason I cant run the SHCHI.exe on my Vista 32bit Home system..

The error says somthing like this

"There is a problem which the program stops working. The program closes and notifies you if a solution is available."

The automatic installer never has worked on my system

I tried several options as administrator and user account configurations
I now still fly the Sludge F18 from a older manual install which was available earlier.

I really want to upgrade but sadly the installer doesn't work for me.

Is there anyone who is willing to help me out?

Sorry about the problems you've been having with the Auto-Installer but I will try to get out the most current form in a MANUAL Install here shortly. I would've had it out by now, but the inputs from Mike's son made me "re-think" a few things and have to re-work alot of the flight model. Alot of the changes are DONE and I'll start working on the MANUAL release as soon as humanly possible.

Wish I could help more, but as I'm new to this Windows7 stuff (meaning I SKIPPED OVER Vista altogether), its very hard for me to do any meaningful troubleshooting when I'm not tweaking/modding.

Thanks Sludge..

A manual install will do the job for me.

It will be a little while. The trip to San Diego was a rough one, in terms of where I stand modding/tweaking the Sludge Hornet. I'm trying some new parameters, especially on the low/slow end of the flight envelope that will give that "slushy" feeling. As well as trying to balance the SH's maneuverability at high speed.

Finally, working with JIMI on a AoA-trim PA config solution will be a biggie, IF we can get that solved in a reasonable time.
