Ye gods! As a turkey driver i should hate this plane…but no way! Having this in BMS, a plane so opposite in design philosophy and in some ways in performance… PvP would never be the same again! Keep up the good work

I’ve been away for the last 3 months.
I’ll speak with WaveyDave when I get back to see if its ready to be released to those who want to skin.

You know I’m waiting to start with spanish skin (and others if you need help) mate

Me too

I could try my hand at some Marine skins as well.
Thanks Bonedust.

Spanish skins will be available?

3d model is not yet available
When we access the model, we can develop the skins

This is one of the projects related to Falcon BMS that I’m anticipating the most even because I’m a Hornet fan!
But I do have a few questions related to this project:
- Why aren’t the radar and MFD avionics changed in order to look similar to the real Hornet ones? From what I’ve seen so far the radar and MFD avionics are exactly the same as the Viper ones, is it possible to change this? Don’t get me wrong but having a Hornet the same F-16 avionics is a bit of an immersion killer specially considering that Falcon BMS is probably the most realistic sim ever made so far (on par with DCS Ka-50 and A-10C).
- Or will the Hornet radar and MFD avionics be changed on final release in order to look more similar to the real Hornet ones?
Thanks in advance for replies…

I would not expect the initial release to be the definitive answer for bug drivers.
It takes time and desire to implement things you’re asking about. The hornet will have things that are specific to it; meaning not in the viper. That’s all I am able to say for now. I guess you’ll have to wait for its release to see what it has or doesn’t have.
Personally, I fly the bug extensively for testing and have become very rusty in a viper. I’m more comfortable with the bugs handling and enjoy flying it immensely.
It always nice to be surprised on release day

Verrrrrry rusty lol;)

I am a Bug lover, and I look forward to the release! The Default FSX F/A-18 (with the Virtual Blue Angels HUD mod) gets more play than any other aircraft in my gargantuan aircraft hangar.
-
Yep. Should be a rough time on PvP
Me too, these days i fly other birds way more often then i do the Viper….and i try to stay clear of massive MP engagements lol…

We are many awaiting delivery of this project.
An excellent quality work for which is worth the wait

Well I can see that you’re one of the Hornet addon “beta testers”. I understand that there’s stuff that you probably cannot talk about but could you reply me the following:
- Will the Hornet radar have the exact same look as in the Viper’s radar or will it look diferent with stuff such as the B-sweep for example and other simbology specific to the Hornet radar (APG-73)?
Thanks in advance for a reply.

How easy or difficult is it to change the look of the FCR imagery? Throughout the years I’ve seen different looking radars and HSIs in different flavors of Falcon so it must be something that can be changed if somebody wanted to do it. Are the symbols hardcoded somehow or are they image files you can edit or replace? Is there a config file where you could edit colors etc?
I would imagine that it’s possible to at least approximate the look of the F/A-18 avionics if not the function. How difficult and time consuming it is I have no idea. Would be cool to see though.
