BMS F18 A and C upgrade - community involvement
-
I have to say that AFTER the F-18, the Rafale is my favorite Jet, though I haven’t really seen the inside of it.
Can you actually do areial refueling with the F-18 ingame atm? I haven’t seen a tanker with the “Probe-and-drogue” system. If not, will you be able to do so in the F-18 update? And will it include a new (small) F-18 specific manual?
Oh and, will the F/A-18C have the colored map? Or will they simply use the F-16 avionics?
-
Bonedust, I think you guys rock and having an F/A-18C Hornet and all the new theatre will rock, so thank you!

What book, Tom?
Actually it is Mike Spick (he and Gunston wrote fighter aircraft books in the early 80s…)
It is quite dated now:
Yet something rather for electronic and hardware nerds than fighter jock fans, interisting read I always thought, on a more technical basis:

i had the unfortunate experience of checking out a couple of books of his, namely the illustrated series, and they were bordering horse crap honestly. if this one is on par with his other works then thanks but no thanks….

I wish that BMS could create a buddy pod for the f-18 so we can refuel via another f-18 that would be so nice!

Yeah, and would require both pilots to be good and have some nice teamwork

I am by no means an expert, but that book is (even since it’s dated regarding F/A-18C/E/F/Gs) still top notch.
Froma avionics to MTBF everything covered and very decent photographies. Much detail and (for a German) wuite demanding technology terms and good explanations.However, I bought it in 88-90 and TBH, today is 2012, so I’d rather buy something different now or watch a Southpark episode hehe.
Cheers!

Anyone working on a skin - to the best of my knowledge that’s just the spanish guys - please stop your work.
The model has undergone an upgrade, which will require many things to be redone.
Welcome to the dev world
The model looks nicer.

Can you get the new model to us for skinning sometime soon? I’M WAITING.

Not for some time yet

Does that mean, the F18 developement will take even longer ?

Bonedust, spanish skins team is waiting for details about the new 3D model :rolleyes:
:munch:

LOl, "How do I “unthank” "!
TBH i also look forward to this one, good luck gents!

Yes, that’s a harsh and hostile place.
But OTOH the fact that model is improving alone is a good news.
Keep up!

The F18 will not be released until the next new or major release by BMS currently in development as 4.33, but will most likey be a different version when released to the public. There are many many things being updated on the bug so it is a long process; some updates are going to surprise you . We listen to the community and improved the model based on a few suggestions. WaveyDave had to do a lot of work on it and he’s got a list of other non-F18 projects on the go as well, so he hates me and Sting now more than Nutty and Moort :mrgreen: However, being the kind gentleman he is, WaveyDave is committed to the project so it is improving and ongoing.
I will get a new skin template to those who were skinning as soon as it is complete

I believe they said they won’t be adding a probe-and-drogue system.
