New FSXBA Hornet

[Ben Dudley(Razor)]

Awesome work as always Jimi(and everyone else involved), the jet is really starting to come together!

[Dman]

Amazing work!!
Thanks for the continuing development

[Thiseus]

As said ! Amazing work !
Thank's to all people involved !

Great work updating the jet Jimi, one thing that's very noticeable is the nose wheels aren't correct, the wheels (not the tires) should be smaller, and the tires should have more sidewall to them.

Man, this thing flies so well it is not even funny. It feels really great through the pull. It is a little strong at about a 1/4 pull, I will pay a little more attention to that the next few flights.
I did hit my assigned button for the tailhook and got refueling probe instead. So I used the lever inside the cockpit for Tailhook and got the refueling probe again.
Then once on the ground, I pull wing fold lever and got the tailhook.

BTW that was in BA 1 but pretty sure that is through all the jets. Will check and get back to you.

Gents,

Thanks everyone for the Kudos.  I'll pass it along to the team.

To answer some questions:

Jymp - Probably not going to happen bud.  For the most part the 3D model is set and isn't going to changes much.  Outside of my control or abilities.  Sorry.

AZ - I'll take a look at the axis curves again for the elevator axis and good catch in regards to the hook/probe/wingfold on the Blue Jets.  The Fleet jets should work as advertised.  I've fixed the hook issue, but ran into a few snags with the wingfold.  I'll update what I have fixed so far, and will again once I have the wingfold issue resolved.

Dave - Sounds like you need the FA-18.dll file that comes with FSX-A and FSX-S editions.  The other issue might be P3D itself, I know on later versions of P3D, the FA-18.dll didn't work, causing a whole host of issue, similar to the ones you've described.  But for starters, I would advise, going to your "Prepar3D/Gauges" folder and confirming that you have that FA-18.dll file in there.

Hope this helps and thanks again!

Jimi

Understand Jimi, no worries, Aerosoft has the same prob. with their Tomcat, only Dino has gotten the wheels perfect with his version of the Tomcat

[Azframer]

Yeah, Jimi the fleet jet is fine and functions like it should. The pull is a little strong towards about a 1/4 pull, should I say after the 1/4 pull for me. It could be a system thing, who knows some of the planes act differently on different computers I have found. So I would not change just on what I am feeling, see if others are having the same thing happen to them.
Great work for those involved.

BZ jimi and team! Off to test around Fallon ranges with TP.
Might need to bold this:

....and NO, I have NO updates or info on the Delta/Two-Seater version, so don't ask...

[PhantomTweak]

This amazing plane is now even MORE amazing! It flies perfectly, like I would expect from an FCS as advanced as it is. At least as far as a guy that never even set hands on a Hornet can tell 
I just love it. So far, anyway. Once the new wears off I may find a niggling little trouble here or there, but heck, nothing is perfect. Although this is getting real close!

Thanks to Jimi and the whole team for this effort. It's awesome!
