Hi everyone, I'm looking to make a skin pack featuring some atypical F/A-18 skins. Currently I'm looking at things like single seat aircraft from two seat AW squadrons, a legacy Hornet in a VAQ squadron, and some Grinch paint jobs. If anyone knows of any other really unique Hornet liveries like these, please share them below, and they might make their way into the pack! Just a note, I'm not really looking for colorful aggressor skins (as much as I am a fan of them) or paint jobs from old prototype aircraft, I'm mostly interested in aircraft that were in actual service that have some kind of unusual aspect to their livery.

Is our model able to show the monochrome map on a DDI as opposed to the full color one on the AMPCD?

I think he meant vertical distance.

If anyone is interested, there's also an early fighter pilot podcast episode that talks about a lot of these topics: http://www.fighterpilotpodcast.com/episodes/006-pulling-gs/

Very excited for all the different aggressor liveries possible. Hopefully ED makes the texture template easier to paint camo schemes on compared to the Hornet's.

I believe this should be possible with MIDS, we already have a nonfunctional version of it as well as the TGT pages available, whether the JTAC functionality exists in DCS is a different question.

They both modify the same file, so unfortunately not. In the future I’m looking into having the JTAC change his readout based on what aircraft you’re flying, but for now you have to choose either one or the other. I don’t actually own the M2KC, but I’d probably suggest choosing the F/A-18 version with the coordinates in DDMMSS.SS since it has the highest degree of accuracy, and you can convert the seconds (ignore the decimal seconds) to decimal minutes when you’re flying the mirage hopefully without getting too much of a headache.

I’m away from my computer for a couple days so I can’t test this myself, but is it the mod that is breaking this functionality?

Definitely agree with the sentiment, I just like to have some variety when I make a skin pack, I was hoping there would be some other unique liveries in their lineup I could recreate.

So it doesn’t work with the mod installed but functions correctly when you’re not using it?

Glad you find it useful, I used to do the exact same thing all the time before JDAM came out. What exactly do you mean when you say the JTAC doesn't give altitude? I haven't experienced this, but does this mod break the JTAC's altitude functionality for you?

I experienced the same, I still have issues getting them to hit targets when released at max range.

You can download the open beta here from ED: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/beta/

Anyone know if terminal guidance is implemented yet? I thought I had seen something about it in a changelog but I didn't hear Wags say anything about it in the video.

Do you know of any F/A-18s they flew that had any high-vis liveries? I’ve only ever seen them with the same regular grey style.

Most Marine squadrons are stationed on land and don’t use the carrier. However a ome Marines do go to the boat and join the Carrier Air Wing. As of right now, I’m pretty sure the only boat squadron is VMFA-312, but in the past there have been some more squadrons that were deployed on a carrier.

Looks great in the screenshots and even better in-game, awesome job!

Yes, I’m pretty sure this is a planned feature.

I’m not 100% sure, but from what I’ve read, it is a subset of SP mode that automatically pulls up the HARM and EW pages and locks onto the nearest emitter when you get locked up by a radar threat that is deemed critical (ie very close to you already). This lets you fire off a HARM in self defense very very quickly after getting locked.

I’m sure we’d all love an earlier release but I’d go for doing those stencils up properly! I wish we could get a D model in the game even just as an AI since there are so many great liveries for it like the Bengals, Vikings, etc. I for one have stayed away from using/making any skins for D’s or B’s since I’m already crazy enough to get bothered by having to pretend the Charlie is an Alpha Hornet, but it’s totally up to you.

Those are lookin really great man!

Make sure that you’re definitely within the release zone for the JDAM, the indicator on the HSI is currently bugged, and maybe trying to target something at a high altitude is exacerbating the issue.

I'm pretty sure that the SA page indications aren't based on any sensors but rather what was loaded into the jet pre-flight. EDIT: Simultaneous post

I haven’t run into this problem, could you describe the situation you have set up?
