BMS F18 A and C upgrade - community involvement
-
so uh… is there any downloadable and flyable F/A-18 mod for BMS now? anything? I can’t believe if nothing has been done since this thread opened in late 2011?!
Not yet uh… you will certainly have to wait few more years …

@NIL:
Don’t expect any separate release. I think it will be in the release of BMS 4.33
Greetings
oh really? is that official? what to expect from it then? thing like a new flight model or what?
-
Reading between the lines, ^ this.
I think 4.33 is going to be a game-changer update with a host of new flyable aircraft with cockpits (and who knows what else), and other features these guys have been working on. I don’t have anything official to back that up, but having followed enough threads and seen some of the WiP that folks are doing but not releasing, it seems that many new goodies are being withheld for the big new release.
I am also pretty impatient to fly the new Hornet. It helps to have other hobbies, I’ve found.
-
that’s great, all hornet fans should rejoice as there are now expected 3 hornet pc simulators in the near future and a super hornet one; if you know what I mean.

“the other ones” won’t come in the near future, but if 7G and BMS come out in 2013, we can all be very happy.

I was aware of 7G, and BMS hornet addition. Whats the others? The FSX addon.
-
-
DCS hornet.
DCS? Weren’t the working on a F-14A defender of the fleet or something? Or do they have multiple projects?

Eagle Dynamics themselves are developing the f-18. the f-14a project was being done by IRIS, but they have removed the entire development forum for that. So i don’t know if the project is stopped, or other reason.
There are multiple 3rd party projects being done, will have to see how many of them actually get completed.

Ah, thanks for the info!

yep as others have said
7-G’s, BMS’ and DCS’ C hornet and Coretex’s E Super Hornet for DCS; I can’t say I care about the FSX one, but if you do then we’ll have 5 F-18 sims in 2014/2015! wow, lol. It is as if we were back in the year 2000 again when we had Jane’s, Digital Integration’s and Graphsim’s F-18 sim.
a great time for Hornet family lovers!

I visited the forums and allegedly, the development is still on, it’s just that the forums fave been “hidden” for undisclosed reasons.

If you are talking about VRS Superhornet I beg to differ. It’s one of the most realistic and challenging sims on the market. And with the addition of the TacPack it’s risen to a level that few sims can match.

is it actually that realistic? whenever I look at VRS video and compare it to Seven-G one for example, I notice something, the Seven-G cockpit vibrate like real plane while the nothing happened in VRS SH.

you can get that effect with some other addons for FSX. The point is, FSX sucks, there are no physics in it and so it doesn’t “naturally” simulate things like vibrations.
The VRS hornet on the other hand, is a very complex sim which relies on external programming and calculations that take place outside of FSX, which in turn is used pretty much as a graphics engine, still there are some limitations.
All in all, I think the FM is very very close to the real thing, I’ve been having fun performing SH demos and I can replicate all the maneuvers at the correct airspeeds. If you look at it from the outside it’s very credible.
With tacpack, a lot of systems are modeled, pretty much like in BMS, again the limit is FSX (the view distance is so limited that targeting pods are basically useless)… -
uh so how is this project going?
-
It’s going great and on track to me part of the next major release.
