BMS F18 A and C upgrade - community involvement
-
Just saw the start up sequence, and knowing it will take a while before this will be available, if ever, i wonder if the sim allows you to have diferent internal sounds for diferent aircraft? Since all the sound of the video are the same of the F16, decreasing the level of immersion of such a great cockpit. IMO it plays agains the great work of the cockpit, but probably its a compromise that we will have to live with.
In the interest of being a little more public I’ll post this video of very early sound work. Unique F18 sounds are being developed, and I’d be interested in original bitchin betty sounds from the bug if anyone has them. They must be your own original sounds and not copies of VRS or some such
Please remember this entire project is very much a work in progess
-
You can actually switch your F16 sounds to the Mirage 2000 dedicated sounds in the Config editor.
So it wouldn’t be a surprise if they add an option to switch to F18’s sound.There will be no need to switch or configure the F18 sounds; they are permanently configured

Sound very real

Not yet. There’s more that needs worked on.

I have done Canadian skins for Janes f-18 (under deckerd) ages ago would love to see the anniversary skins done.
-
Man I hate anniversary skins in the game. Maybe as a one off for a team display, but seeing jets in hot with a big bright tail looks silly imho.

Sting, 5 minutes in the sin-bin for using the word “game”.

When you guys get your skins and pits done, is there any chance that you could change the campaigns and improve the F/A-18 and CF-18’s contribution to the Korean war? Giving one or two CF-18 squadrons involved in air and ground operations would be a good start. Also, the carrier based squadrons are mostly air only, could they get more OCA and Strategic strike missions?

Damn, I thought I was about ready to wrap this one up

DaveDave I want to personally thank you, that F/A-18 pit is truly amazing. I am so excited to fly it that I can’t stop practicing carrier traps. When you get to a good stopping point in your work, have you thought about making a Super Hornet pit based of the F/A-18C pit? The Rhino would be a gret addition to the carrier a/c fleet.

I haven’t read this whole thread so this may have been asked or stated already. Is this cockpit clickable as well? You guys are absolutely amazing with this stuff btw. Is there a place on this site to donate? I have not found one yet. All of this is at no charge to us, but I am sure that this is costing you guys something. Please let us help.

The F-18 looks great, but I just want to suggest that you smooth the canopy railing and make it rounder, that seems to stand out a lot from a generally high poly model.
Other than that, it looks super! -

Cockpit is clickable. If you wish to donate, please donate to a charity of your choice. BMS does not solicit or accept donations.

+1 on thunder. The cockpit looks kickass (totally!), but the canopy/mirrror section sort of stands out a tad. That’s meant as constructive comment, hope you don’t mistake it as offensive.
Looking forward to this mod, kudos to master WaveyDave.BTW if you disable “Color MFD” via Config Editor, you don’t get the monochrome MFDs (as already explained before by a BMS dev), but at least the green fonts and frames, which is cool enough for me. Good to know there’s an option to the dedicated Block50/52 MFDs.

Canuck skin update…WIP

One sexy ass plane!!!

Folks, please do not ask for any skin templates other than the base template.
If you are a skilled PS skinner you do not need anything beyond the base template. The objective here is to get some great skins for the install by involving some community folks; not to teach people how to skin. Also, please do not ask for the 3d model. It is not finished and will not be released until released as part of the BMS install.
cheers

WONDERFUL !!!
