This software: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=179525 I customized everything minus the gauges on the bottom right.

A couple of Bugs I found in the hornet pit: -Whiskey Compass does not work. Looks like it's missing items in the instrumentfunctions area - Jettison selection switches (LI,LO,RI,RO,C) cannot be deselected. Once you select them ikarus will not deselect. I figured this was a button option, but I cannot find the fix.

Did some weathering on the side panels. Now I'm just waiting for my vinyl decals to arrive. I also painted where the canopy would close down black. All and all it's looking pretty good minus the lack of an ejection seat. I'll need to talk to my wife about appropriating some funds!

Fusion 360 - great choice! I used it for all of my design. I've already started planning on building an ejection seat! Going to mimic the ACES II. Won't be 1:1, but it will be close. Decals have been purchased for the sides I just put up. Gonna do some weathering on it today, potentially.

Thank you both for the nice words! I'm been working on a glare-shield. Rough concept with painted foam board. not sure what material it will end up being made from yet.

Everything has pros and cons. I'm not a VR fan in its current state. The visual immersion factor is there, but reaching for a mouse breaks it. there is more to "virtual reality" than the visual aspects. So for me, I don't bother with it. And yes I've owned and then sold my VR headset.

Did you export the RWR to a second monitor?

I installed the latest XML and IKARUS executable. However I’m still have the same issues with flicking the wrong switches. Do I need to update my custom profile in IKARUS to reflect those changes if I’m not downloading the F18 profile?

I don’t get mine until 9/4.

More updates! I've begun coding the UFC and other instruments. Very time consuming.

I'm going to mess with this later, they're all sized the same, but maybe I did something odd. I use Affinity Photo.

totally understand - just figured I would let you know. Also, in regards to ALT BARO/RDR it received the data correctly. So If i switch it in the cockpit Ikarus updates. If I switch it in Ikarus it toggle the Master Arm switch. Also, update! UFC is complete for now. you'll see other gauges working, too. I still have a bunch of LAMPS to work through, though. Fuel, etc. Enjoy!

I found 3 bugs going through this: 1) HUD DAY/night Switch is linked to master arm 2) ALT BARO/RDR switch is mapped to Right Inner button 3) ATT INS/auto/STBY mapped to right outer button

So the original size, that I had issues with, was 80x209 and i set the size to 60 in Ikarus. I then upped it to 112x313, which is the file size you use, and there is minimal size change, but it still occurs...i size it to 60 in Ikarus.

Here's an update!

I got it to work! FUN!

I think I found a bug in Ikarus on the following switch: SwitchOnOffOn The off position, in this case, mid. Is increasing the pixel size. wwhen selecting the Up/Down in resizes to the correct pixel count. I have the size set to 80. Here's a screen shot of each - any ideas? I've validated that each image is the same size.

Got it - thanks. Also, in the Hornet Module in Instruments there is an FA18C_Engine as class. I cannot figure out what this does. It seems like its just an image.

Worked on the UFC a bit this AM. Using this tool is quite easy. Most of my time is spent making the images and figuring out coordinates. very much love it!

I support transparent backgrounds!

I had IKARUS/DAC set as false to send data. Whoops. Fixed!

Sorry - none of the UFC buttons or the DDIs were working... I'm going to give it a shot and try again. They don't register in the sim. v1.4.5.3e

Yeah it would be super helpful to be able to change the following: 1) text color (already have) 2) border of box color 3) box fill color I think there is a border color but I’m not at home to look (#2 above). Also randomly testing thing this AM and I noticed buttons on the hornet aren’t working. That is when I push them in IKARUS they aren’t translating to DCS. Lamps work perfectly though.

I mean the where the 7Segment sits in. I see the hex color, where you can change it. I’m talking about the actual box/frame which is black with a light grey border. I can’t figure out how to change that.
