Rifter Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 Thanks a lot for your ongoing work on this mod, josh-109. I appreciate it! Actually I prefer it over the Super Hornet Mods since the F/A-18D is a kind of a F/A-18C with a new skin. The real F/A-18D has some rearranged avionics and around 6% less fuel capacity. Of course the second seat is not a thing in this mod but flying it solo with the C-model as a flight model base and it's cockpit is absolutely realistic in terms of flight behaviour and aircraft usage. You just have to reduce your max internal fuel load to 94% and your good to go. 1

Chap2012 Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 I'm curious to why every mod that takes over a full fidelity cockpit can't be played along side the original when there are mods that let you play both. All WW2 mods are this way along with the J10 and I think a few others.

josh-109 Posted October 22, 2023 Author Posted October 22, 2023 F/A-18D v9.4 Change log (22/10/2023) Updated to work with the latest DCS Open Beta Patch 2.9>>> Added in the data link stuff 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 Links on page 1 1
Spook1234567890 Posted January 19, 2024 Posted January 19, 2024 Just so you are aware the CJS compatible version conflicts with the VSN F/A18D. The cockpit in your mod is completely black (external view) with both installed, the VSN cockpit is also messed up. Have not tested CJS non compatible version. Thought you should know. 1

I seem to remember eariler in this thread that the CJS mod needed to be installed via OVGME first then the VSN mod or the overwrite/replacement/substitution of codes would cause issues. I use the mod manager as both CJS and VSN do substitute the DCS code and when DCS puts out an update everthing gets "corrected" and then CJS and VSN will not work. So I disable both, do the DCS update, reinstall and am back to having no luck at all in air to air refueling. As of the Dec 28 OB update all three mods are working fine for me. Just a thought. seabat

However, I occasionally found out that with the CJS compatible version installed, the AI planes of the CJS F/A-18E/F/G cannot launch the missiles to engage the hostile. After removing the CJS compatible mod, they can fire the missile as usual. It's quite strange, because I thought that this version does not modify the settings of the CJS fighters. You can try this test mission with CJS mod installed first, then with or without the F/A-18D mod. Caucasus_CJS F-18E vs SU-30.miz

6 inches Posted April 11, 2024 Posted April 11, 2024 I tried pairing with JGME and OVGME but it would only allow the F/A-18D and my F/A-18C as ai in the mission editor. Can anyone help? PS. yes I downloaded the two mod folders in the order that the post said to do.

PS. yes I downloaded the two mod folders in the order that the post said to do. so after loading the mod into DCS im having no issue, im guessing you may have installed the mod wrong. After downloading the zip file and you extracted the file, it should give you a folder called FA-18D Josh-109 v10. copy said folder and past it into the _MODS folder that JSGME uses but with the OVGME i am unsure how that program works as i only use JSGME and testing. 1

OVGME basically works the same way for me. Put mod in OVGME folder, open OVGME, search for the mod, click enable. In the past when I had an issue with the FA-18D it was caused by forgetting to disable the mod in OVGME before I updated to the latest DCS update. DCS update "fixed" the FA-18C and overwrote the D mod codes for player controlled. seabat
CarloVecchi Posted January 14 Posted January 14 Hello together, before i´ll try this mod, I have a few questions. 1st: Does the mod work under latest DCS version? 2nd: Can it manually installed (without JSGME)? & 3rd: Controls & bindings are the same as (my) F/A-18C is?
