VSN F/A-18D Hornet with F/A-18C Cockpit

[seabat]

Carlo,

For what it is worth 

1. The mod has worked for me after the Dec 24 update to DCS

2. I have never tried to install manually, I only used OVGME.

3. Control and bindings are the same as the F/A-18C but I seem to remember I had to re-enter the bindings for the D the first time I loaded it.   I have not done it for a while but I do know that any controls I use (I have not used everything) are the same for both the C and D.

Hello DCS Pilots. Welcome to the VSN F/A-18D that is using the F/A-18C Cockpit and EFM/Sounds.

This does not affect the C Model At all. You can fly both!!!

The VSN Textures have been redone by Strider32

Liveries included are just RAAF Skins that all of them have been done from scratch a lot of detail has been added. Made by Strider32, Josh-109

To get this Mod to work you will need The F/A-18C Module, and JSGME.

Added 2 downloadable Links, File 1, is the mod it self just the C,D..... File 2 is combatable with the CJS mod, C,D,E,F,G. Both mods must be Running/Installed at the same time otherwise the hornet fleet will only work as a AI Aircraft

How to Install

1: Unzip the FA-18D Josh-109 v**.zip

2: Cope file to your JSGME _MODS Folder. OR you can copy it straight in to your main DCS game Folder but I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT!!!! as when the game updates it will kill the Mod

 

Known Issues,

1. If flying with minors you will see two glass cockpit model

 

I would like to point out that I did not make the model just edit .lua files. Model is from the VSN Team

and the original Textures. Cockpit is the DCS F/A-18C. I don't want to take credit from other Teams. Just want to make DCS more enjoyable with others.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I really like this mod!

Great work & thanks for this.

I started to put my hands on the textures.

 

Is there a chance, that the mod will be updated?

There are some small things I have noticed.

- The slimers (formation lights) are not really correct in scale & position

- Slimers on wings not implemented to light

- Some of the antennas are not right placed

- Position of the centerline drop tank is a little bit too forward.

 

And one general question, is there a way to have 2 different pilot skins?

F/A-18D VMFAT-101 skin pack

 

VMFA-314 Black Knights skin

F/A-18D VMFA-314 Black Knights

 

got various improvements, all texture based, cause I don´t have access to the 3D model / or the modeler.

Hello gentlemen,

I'm working on a Blue Angels skin for the F/A-18D (The 1992 team for now, #7 LT Dave "Hoops" Stewart and #8 LCDR Randy Duhrkopf)

If you look above I'm having problems removing the formation lights. Any ideas?

yes.

you have to edit the lights on & off textures.

Make the areas of formation lights transparent.

[JmrjMrjmR]

@CarloVecchi I will try that thank you!

[JmrjMrjmR]

@CarloVecchi I must've done something wrong because now they're black

Hmm, damn, then it must be something 3D related. Just tested and doesn´t work here too.
Sorry.

[JmrjMrjmR]

Maybe if I try making them the same colour as the fuselage, no need for transparency?

[CarloVecchi]

That could be the trick!

[JmrjMrjmR]

@CarloVecchi It almost was, the reflectiveness is off but barely noticeable on the fuselage. Problem is very noticeable on the vertical stabs though, as the blue strip cuts through the yellow 7.

I PMed Josh about it, to see if he's willing to help in the matter.
