New FSXBA Hornet

[PhantomTweak]

i think is just conflict beetween gauges in f/a-18 folder and p3d/gauges dir, any way would be cool use hornet original sound without dsd_fsx_xml_sound_v520.zip, i use it for lancair of realair, in p2/3d is only one way have sound work right

Probably. The Hornet uses dsd_xml_Sound.exe. The original version. If you have other versions in the Gauges folder,it may be trying to read those first, so the cockpit sounds don't have the right .ini files for themselves. Have you tried DL'ing and placing the original dsd_xml_sound file and  placing it in the Hornet Panel folder to be crtain it's correct? The .ini files it needs should already be in the Training load-out's Panel folder...

Thanks, Orion. I appreciate the confirmation

no, i think, i just have to change name of gau and change any text in 18c dir with that gau:)
and this work:)
c:\P3D\SimObjects\Airplanes\FA-18C_FSXBA2015 15.6 Training\Panel.Fleet\dsd_fsx_xml_soun.gau < name changed
c:\P3D\SimObjects\Airplanes\FA-18C_FSXBA2015 15.6 Training\Panel.Fleet\panel.cfg <only 3 lines of this gau was changed
stay problem with mirrors, they have no mirrors:)
and little problem, if start from simlauncher and forgot fuel pump check off is sound annoying and can not be disable in the hornet

Hello Gents,

Just as a quick update.  Made it to Hawaii and FINALLY got my Household Goods in a couple of days ago.  In the process of setting things up.  Should be back in action in a few days.

Can't wait to get back into the mix of things.  It's been too long.

Hope all is well for all of you.

Hi Jimi!
Glad to see ya again, and that you are getting squared away
Tanke your time, enjoy Hawaii If you get a chance, go try Kauai. My all time favorite Island. Surfing it's north shore is wicked awesome. And inland is phenomenal. There's a billion good reasons it's the Garden Isle. And the skin/scuba diving at Poipu Beach is fantastic.
On Maui, give Lahaina a look. There is a open air market that has a little of everything! And the restaurants right on the ocen are marvellous. I don't know if it's still there, but there was an old Pineapple plantation that they converted to an incredible restaurant. Up on top of a mountain. The views are incredible.
I'm sorry. SO many things to see and do. You won't believe how fast your time will go. And you'll regret when the time comes to go back to the mainland. Sadly, if I recall correctly, your money will go fast too...
Anyway, great to see ya Looking forward to any new updates!

AvgeekJoe, those look like they'd be awesome paints. I look forward to anyone making them up for us all! Me, I couldn't paint a board with a brush if I had to...

Anyway, glad to see everyone is still rocking and rolling! Have fun flying this incredible bird they've been so kind as to put up for us! I know I sure do!!

how do you get the tailhook to work when using fsrecorder? when flying formation and all aircraft have the hook deployed only the the aircraft selected as the user ac will show as being deployed. any help would be appreciated.

Most likely you were flying a D model, I've noticed the D model before startup the tail hook is always in a relaxed or down position and will show up like that in flight in playback in FSrecorder until the config is fixed (above my head).

thanks for the info but i was flying the c model. i haven't  got around to testing the d mod but i will try it out and see what happens. thanks .

FSRecorder I haven't the faintest clue about. No idea what's what with that.
Having said that, the Hornet (both C&D) looses hyd pressure with the engines shut down and the APU off. Thus, the tail-hook, flaps, ailerons, the gear doors, and rudders "relax". When any one of those starts up, they all go their "neutral" positions. IE: Hook up, flaps, rudders, and ailerons at 0°, and the gear doors should shut. I believe that's how the FSDT Hornets work as well.
I may well be wrong, and i hope Jimi or Orion will correct me if I am But that's how they work In Real World hornets.
I don't know if that helps any at all...

Pat,
That might be an early Lot "A" model thing, but the tailhook is not going to drop after hyd press is removed. I've never seen this on C/D's ashore or on the boat.

For FSR, I'm assuming you have all the FS key commands checked for recording?

All carrier aircraft have their tailhooks locked up by a latch. But the hooks are actually driven downward with a large hydraulic force. This is done to try to prevent "hook skips" where the hook hits the deck and then bounces up, missing the wires. So, yes, if it were not for the latch, the hook would fall after the hydraulics bled off. That's why crewmembers are taught to never walk under the tailhook. If that latch fails, you're going to need a few motrin.

When replaying back make sure you go into cockpit and start engines, than all should be good, doesnt always happen automatically even though the sounds may be playing.

Absoluely! Never go under the tailhook, flaps, or geardoors, if they are up. Never trust a latch. They fail all the time.
Even with a cranial on, you are gonna get a headache. Bigtime.
Not to mention having a chat with some people with scrambled eggs on their covers...
