BMS F18 A and C upgrade - community involvement
-
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
Fresco+

Fresco and me were working in the skins for the first model, we have all necesary to apply to the new template, so we are waiting for it for finish him.

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.

An avionics guy would have to answer that, but IIRC its code so its not a simply matter of replacing a dds file etc.

You’re asking me questions I am not able to answer, but my “guess” is no.

?
excuse me Bonedust
will the hornet radar have the exact sme look as in the Viper = No
or
will it look diferent with stuff such as the B-sweep for example and other simbology specific to the Hornet radar (APG-73) = No

The question was already answered to the extent I can.

Actually I never saw radars and even HSIs that looked diferent from the Viper’s ones. This IMO is the main immersion killer regarding playing with aircraft other than the Viper in Falcon 4 (and any of it’s versions). That’s why I only play with the Viper in Falcon4 (including BMS) but I certainly would like to see this changed and if this was changed with the Hornet addon, that would be a dream come true for me (even because the Hornet is my favourite fighter aircraft).
