Cool, dear friend Burak, and most welcome back with this great news of yours.
So, I too just canāt await!
With best wishes and regards.

Hi Burak,
are you going to find and repair those missing needles in gauges? -
Hello sunrrrise. Iām just editing texture files. Iām not doing any editing on gauge files.
Explanation: I have a problem with the website where I uploaded my pictures. The pictures have been deleted. Therefore, you may not see the new images I upload. Iāll upload the pictures to Imgur at the first opportunity. Iām sorry for that.
-
Hi Burak, do you have a template for the legacy Hornet from which you base your work, that you can share? Thanks!
-
Looks good, eager to try itā¦let me know if you need help testingā¦
-
New HUD glass
(I have re-uploaded the deleted files.)
( @Corsair: Hello, Corsair. After all my work is done, Iām thinking of publishing a template file ready to be painted. )
-
Very well done once again, dear Burak!
If you donāt mind, may I ask when would it be available for downloading?
And I too am available for testing it before, if you like it.With best regards.

Hello, Jackal.
Iām still working on it. I have to make some corrections in the cockpit and the exterior model. However, I only find time on weekends. I will share it as soon as possible.
-
Just brilliant. Love your work.
The canopy support seems to be of lesser definition. The rest of the pit makes it stand out. WIP ?

@Burak,
you can easily change MFD colors to green - looks a lot better and more Hornet-like. The same applies to the third āMFDā: -

Sunrrrise, thank you very much. Thatās very good news. Iāil try it now.:D
One more addition:
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?35058-Small-addon-for-F-A-18C-D
Since we do not have moving map on third MFD, but we have JHMCS I have changed this āMAP GAINā switch to HMD (like in DCS F/A-18C Hornet), like here:
Feel free to copy entire block of texture if you like.
I can share 2713.dds texture too.

Hello Sunrrrise.
I used your files. However, the 1st and 2nd MFD screens did not change. Only the 3rd MFD display changed to green.
My guess is that the 1st and 2nd MFD screens use default F-16 MFDs. Therefore, it has not changed. However, I do not know F-18 uses the avionics of the which F-16 model.
If someone who knows which F-16 modelās avionic it is, I can make it green by adjusting it from āAvionics Configuratorā.
Best regards.

Hi,
itās not like that. Both real MFDs (1# and 2#) use fonts color definitions (I donāt remember the file name, but I will find it!). Third, center MFD is just a specially prepared TACAN and use textures.I will check it ASAP and provide you the color of the MFDs to be set.
Found it, probably:
in <your bms=āā 4.34=āā installation=āā directory=āā>\Data\Sim\Acdata\f18c.dat file:
there is a line:
avionicsColorMfd 1
Change it to:
avionicsColorMfd 0
Voila!</your>
-
Thank you very much sunrrrise.
Here is the result :clap2:
-
I like it much better now:)
Now we have to find how to restore those missing needles.
-
Regarding canopyā¦ since itās quite big element of the cockpit, but it has very small place on texture file you can do two things:
- make it less detailed, cause the details are stretched and it does not looking goodā¦
or
- you can convert the texture from the original size of 2048x2048 to 4096x4096 pixels. The texture file will be big (16mb), but BMS accepts that (just tested it and it works) and you will quadruple space available for the details

Great job
