F/A 18C HORNET FULL EDITION (Photoreal Cockpit & Photoreal Skin)
-
found that I had to overwrite all the campaign files too…
C:\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data\Add-On Balkans\Terrdata\objects\KoreaObj
Update: I’m happy to report both installed easily into the new Balkans Theater. BTW, I put the dds files in the KoreaObj_hires_ folder

Hi Burak ;)……thank you so much for this wonderful wonderful mod; for an end user like me it is so inspiring discovering this beautiful bird more and more with textures wrapped in like yours.
H o p e f u l l y this mod also gives an increase in motivation for all the BMS Cracks and Developers giving more attention for further improvements and developments in the F/A-18C Hornet.
Honestly spoken: The Hornet is the most challenging bird in the hangar of BMS actually (–> e.g. not only regarding Carrier landing but also enery management during dogfight , etc…). It’s the perfect endorsement for the F-16’s, not to mention about their same roots in the lightweight fighter program https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_Fighter_program#/media/File:YF-16_and_YF-17_in_flight.jpg
Another v e r y inspiring article - educational and brief for all the other BMS F-16/F-18 lovers out there - " Dogfighting in an F/A-18 Hornet " Link: https://fightersweep.com/4210/dogfighting-in-an-fa-18-hornet/.
Best regard to all of you, Udet

Strange, I’ve installed the skin to default KTO, all dds files and all, but I can only have it on my F/A-18 only if I click “change skin” button a few times in a loadout menu. The rest of Hornets get vanilla skin.
What can be the issue?

This is so normal. There are 4 different F/A-18C skins in BMS. I just repainted only one. Others default skins.

Another great video from SaturnV. I liked it so much. Especially after 1:39.
-
Excellent pit, I’m loving it along with the external skin, any way you can fix the speed brake light that was broke in U1 or U2 ? Thank you!
-
cockpit usable with super hornet as well?
-
It is usable, but not realistic.;)
-
its the same in the game… i need that extra pylon

Vipers love the thrust and ability to sustain turn, etc. Hornets like tight and slow fights. Very difficult for either to get a real advantage over the other in a dogfight. It comes down to knowing your craft, its strengths and weaknesses and knowing your opponent.
Many an F16 gets shot by a Hornet trying to out rate him in a radius fight. Many a Hornet gets shot by a Viper when he hasn’t thought about what the move AFTER this one will be with his higher Alpha capability.
The Blue Angels loop and roll with their gear out because they can……

Awsome!

Hi Buraktunahan,
Great work on the cockpit and skins! Did you plan to make other ones for nations like Australia or Canada? Maybe provide a template for the community so that we can try to make more photo realistic skins?
Thx!
-
Hello, Whisky_Actual. Thank you so much.
I plan to make a template skin to make different skins. In this case, we can make more skin as a community. But I do not know when to publish. My work is very intense.
Best regards.
-
Sounds great!
Keep us posted, I will be glad to try out your template when available
WA.

Absolutely love this piece.
Is it possible to change some of the cockpit elements to reflect more of what the Hornet actually does in terms of ingame-clickable cockpit? It could be an alternative texture too, if you want to go for more authenticity you just skip it. Particularily talking about the Cat I/III switch and whatever the diagonal left side panel switches do, I think they turn on various systems.

Yes sir. save it directly to each theater

Newbie question; just started flying BMS this week [emoji28]
I’ve replaced the dds files as described in the original post after backup up the folder. I also have Ikaros, Balkans and Israel theatres installed; do I need to place those dds files in those folders as well?
-
Rgr that mate or they will not show up if you use those campaigns
-
Hello Buraktunahan … I wanted to ask you, if I can modify some dds from your magnificent work, with the intention of being able to adapt it with the skin of Spanish squadrons…thank you so much for your attention.
Best regards mate. -
The textures are dated as being modified in 2009 and pretty much 95% of them share the same file-size as vanilla BMS textures, how are 8yr old textures an improvement over the 4.33u3 copy?!?
