Nice work, I never noticed them in VBAs until yesterday quite handy for timing. Wouldn't the UFC have a stop watch like the F-16?

Not sure as my knowledge of the Viper is somewhat limited. However, the realistic HUD add-on from JR and Scott came with a built-in timer, so it has been available to the Acceleration Hornet community for a while.

Hello Everyone,

I know it's been a while since my last report, but I figured I'd jump on to let you know we are still working on the 2013 FSXBA Hornet.  Thanks to SPINS and his new model, we have been able to make progress in many areas.  Listed below are the highlights.

New:
-Functioning Take Off Trim Button:  Now located on top of the the Rudder Trim Knob (think VRS location)
-Functioning A/A and A/G Master Mode Buttons:  No need to use the 2-D HUD panel to select them.
-Functioning Anti Skid Switch
-Tail Hook now visible in multiplayer
-Functioning Automatic Throttle Control Switch located on throttle
-Updated Cockpit Textures
-Updated engine smoke gauge to better simulate the appearance of engine exhaust
-Updated engine smoke effect (thanks SLUDGE)
-Wing Flex and Wing Vibrations during high G and high AOA maneuvers

Still Working On:
-Hook Bypass switch (for FCLPs)
-Digital Engine Data Display (found in F/A-18C Hornets)
-Fuel Cutoff Function (right-clicking on throttles will place them in idle cutoff similar to the SuperBug)

Well, that's it for now.  I'll try to include pics/videos soon.

Great to hear Jimi. Since I purchased the CP model, still have her in the sim to test out. Would it be possible to add in your FSXBA mods to this version? Mainly VC changes.

I will need to talk to the 3-D modeler and CP for that.  Hopefully they will!  I really think you guys will like this Hornet!

Hi,

Just wondered how you were progressing with the 2013 version?

Hey Frenchie,

Yes, definitely still working on the 2013 FSXBA Hornet.  We have made some great strides over the past few months.  Only problem is that we have pretty much converted over to the Combat Pilot F/A-18C Hornet since we know the 3D Modeler, and he is willing to work with us in terms of improving the aircraft.  This has allowed us to accomplish A LOT more than what we could do with the Acceleration F/A-18A.  Because of that, I'm not quite sure how this is going to be released (IF it's decided to be released...) to the public.  Since the aircraft technically belongs to Combat Pilot and/or the 3D modeler, they hold the reigns on how it gets disseminated.  I've already offered to purchase the rights so that I can release it free to the public via FSX Blue Angels, but was denied.  I'll keep you updated as I get information.  Meanwhile, here are some "happy snaps" of our progress:

Glad I still have it then (the CP model), although I have cancelled my subscription to the "game". Is the VC yours Jimi or the modelers?

Thanks for the complements.  I will pass them along.  Victory, both the exterior and interior have been constructed by SpIns, the 3D modeler.  All of the displays in the virtual cockpit are currently borrowed from the Acceleration Hornet.  There have been numerous additions added to it however.  My main job with the jet lies in its flight handling and with the functionality of the new features incorporated.

Thanks for the hard work and pulling together such a great plane.  I fly both yours and the superbug according to which computer I flying on. I’m looking forward to the new version.
