Everyone,

This is an update of what I have SO FAR.  

Things to fixed from FSXBA2014 to FSXBA2014.2 model:
-Throttle Response.  (Corrected, for the most part.  Still working on AB effectiveness) (in progress).
-Fuel consumption too aggressive (fixed)
-Nose wheel steering too aggressive (fixed)
-ATC malfunctioning/issues (fixed)
-Hook/Probe not visible in MP (fixed)
-Realign Afterburner graphic (fixed)
-Cockpit Views (fixed)
-Nose Wheel Gear Lighting (fixed)
-Formation Strip Lighting (partially fixed, need to update night textures)
-Smoke system on fleet jets (fixed)
-Account for extra fuel talk in training version (fixed)
-Fuel Dump (fixed (dumps about 800 lbs/min))
-Afterburner effect placement (fixed: thanks Strikeeagle)

Newly Added Items:
-New Textures (If permission is granted from Lt Butler)

Things I already know that I have to fix (Known Issues):
-Textures, both inside and out.  I will get to them after I finish cleaning up the big stuff

-Rudder Coordination/Integration.  Another big ticket item I am working on.
-Shock Cone Effect (definitely a W.I.P.)
-Hook takes a little long to extend and raise
-Pilot ejects from aircraft when calling the ball with VLSO
-Aircraft acceleration/deceleration too aggressive (working)
-Pitch Auto Trim G/Pitch Rate priority logic (awaiting info)
-Launch Bar and Launch Bar Switch
-Frame rate drop (possibly due to test gauge)
-Add carrier and refueling gauges
-Pirouette Logic
-Speed Brake Effectiveness
-Reduce AOA shake
-Wing Fold Visible in Multiplayer
-Sounds while jet is off
-Chock & Engine covers
-Gear/Flap deployment timing

Thanks again and looking forward to your feedback!

Are you able to reassign wingfold assignments with your software as well?  Like to an exit?

Jimi
Yes animations can be reassigned. You may have to customise the scale and or the bias though.

Thanks for your continued development.

Corvette,

Although I didn't include them in the selection menu, you can change the exterior model or the jet by changing the model config file that is located in the model.fleet folder.  Just change to match the setup you'd like.

In regards to textures, they're coming.  Thanks to talented texture painters like LT Butler, we should have a selection in no time!

Hi all,

Just wanted to introduce myself here.  I'm currently a Replacement Pilot at VFA-106 flying the F/A-18E/F at Oceana.  The earlier reference to testing the jet in the sim is from a PM between myself and Jamal.  Eager to help out and continue to test fly this great legacy jet in the sim!!

A little P3D V2 feedback... Previously I had the FSXBA 2013 and Sludges Hornet working beautifully with AICarriers2 and vLSO in P3D V1.4. Today I decided to see if it all still works in V2. Happy to report that so far everything looks great.....

Wingnut, are you by chance the same Wingnut that did the Stike Fighter Ball 2013 vid, and used to fly with VFA-137 back in say 2010/2011?

Nope, didn't make the SFB vid, and -106 is my first Hornet squadron. My past assignments were T-45's in Meridian and T-6's at Whiting Field.  Still a Replacement Pilot in the Rhino, not fleet aircrew yet.

Right, I can see that now.  For some reason when I read your post I thought I saw "instructor" in there somewhere.  Regardless, it's fantastic to have you here with us, and don't be surprised if you are bombarded with questions  ;D  I know there are lots of fellas here that definitely have then.  Welcome to the forums!

Just finished downloading the 2014.2 jet, and I can't unzip it.  I'm guessing that no one else has had this problem...

Just tried downloading and it extracted fine on my end.  Try downloading again, perhaps?
