I get a Simconnect message that P3d doesnt recognize the Hornet and no DDi's.
(Hornet FCS Simconnect Exception: Simconnect eception unrecognized ID)
I moved the entire FXBA Hornet file into my P3Dv2.5 Simobjects\airplanes folder and copied the effects over to effects.
Anyone have that error?
Thanks
Will

Have you transferred the "F18" Gauge from the primary Gauges folder over to P3D.  If not, try going to your main Gauges folder (not the one inside the F/A-18 Folder) and look for the file titled "F18".  Copy it and paste it over to the same folder in P3D.  It is a file borrowed from the Acceleration Hornet, so you will need to have had FSX Acceleration installed in order to have in the first place.

Hope this helps.

Jimi,
So I am clear...
I will go over to my old hard drive and last fsx folder with acceleration and drag that f18 gauge file from there to p3d gauges folder?
Will that fix the sim connect error also?
Thank you
Will

Yes.  Can't make any promises, but it should.  Usually if your MFDs arent working, its because you are missing that gauge.  I just verified.  The name of the gauge is "FA-18"

I agree with Mr. Hendricks 110%! The specular effect is amazingly well done...
That IS what makes them shine like they're polished, right? I think it is, anyway.

Sorry for the delay guys, been away for the last five days. Just fixing some small issues, and I have a question for other repainters/Jimi/anyone:

Anyone know what file the part of the canopy frame (marked in the image below) for the D model can be found in?



Cheers all...

Hi Kea, your textures look great!

Concerning the canopy texture issue you mentioned, have a look at the first screenshot. This adjustment is only necessary for the D version textures.

Additionally, I have provided some more screenshots showing the differences between the C/D version concerning the painting of the canopy.
- Example1: Replicating the canopy texture from a C version to a D version will introduce some unwanted colors inside the canopy of the D version. In order to minimize the occurrence of this issue one should use a different layout, as provided, in the screenshots below (jpg 1 and 2).
- Example2: In case one just wants to paint the frontal part of the canopy (the windshield, like in a cabrio) the texture layout will need to be modified a bit further from the default example (jpg 3 and 4).

I got this figured out by trial and error a while ago, so I hope this will help you.

Best regards, Peter

MFD's working great! Thank you! Now I got a Red message when I select any model of the Hornet.

"Hornet FCS SimConnect Exception: SIMCONNECT_EXCEPTION_UNRECOGNIZED_ID"
Any ideas?

Peter...

You know where these bits are (circled in white)? Little grey piece on the vertical stabilizers and the colour creeping into the burner petals?



Almost there with "version 1" NSAWC repaints! Well, actually they're more like version 29.

Jimi: not sure where you're at with Tacpacking this baby but are you happy for me to also release some basic TP code for RWR, flares and NVG?
