BMS F18 A and C upgrade - community involvement
-
F18 work is part of BMS group’s effort, and will be released when BMS decides it is ready
We fly the same F18 the rest of the community flies.
The F18 is undergoing a complete overhaul, so don’t look for it too be released before Christmas
Will the upgrade be just for the A through C series only? Are you folks going to be including the E/F in the upgrade as well?
-
Nothing has been done for the E/F variant.
The only worth while thing would be to upgrade the external model. No point doing a cockpit without a proper flight model.

Yeah let me clarify things here at no point did I say we were flying any other hornet cockpit then what everyone else has, some of us just like the bug that much that we will fly it in whatever form we can get it, I have a guy in the wing who friggin loves tomcats so much he flys with the stock f14 cockpit lol
-
At preseant time, are the E/F versions able to land on the carriers? If not, is it because they have the original Flight models?

Correct. The AI will be able to but not human players.

Really like the work on the CF188s… just curious as to why 410 and not 425 SQN. Also… if you need info/pictures… just ask. If I can provide it I will.
Cheers,

BobboMy personal view given the low number of aircraft we have and the minor addition of a sqaudron crest it is not worth adding it to the skin, but other than that there is no particular reason other than IIRC those are the squadron in the campaign.
The CF skin I created has no sqaudron crest(s) on it.
On a positive note the new bug has 4 licence plates so you can have 4 serialized jets and 4 individual pilot names

Will the S/N and Pilot names be editable by the end user?

Yes, very simple if you are familiar with Photoshop

Sounds good, if that’s whats in the campaign. Just kinda weird because 410 is the OTU, while 425 is the other operational squadron.

BobboYes, that’s true The CF skin “might” have sqaudron markings when release; I’m not sure yet. Are you stationed in Bagotville? Feel free to send me some pics if you have recent ones showing the markings
The community can create anniversary skins or add squadron crests if the wish.

Here’s some “action shots” of us flying close form. Hard to see the Alouette logo, but it should give you good appreciation of how dirty they are

I found these info on boeing.ca
The combat-proven CF-18 Hornet is a twin-engine, multi-mission, tactical aircraft. It converts between air-to-air fighter missions and air-to-ground strike missions while on the same sortie with the flick of a switch. The CF-18 fulfills the following types of assignment: fighter escort, suppression of enemy air defenses, reconnaissance, forward air control, close air support, and day and night strike missions.Adapted from the F/A-18, the Canadian version of the jet features:- a searchlight beneath the fuselage for nighttime visual identifications
- survival equipment adapted to the Canadian environment
- various cockpit layout modifications
The F/A-18 Hornet has been deployed by the armed services of the following nations: United States (Navy and Marines), Canada, Australia, Spain, Kuwait, Finland, Switzerland, and Malaysia.
Program Milestones:- Boeing completed the CF-18 Modernization Project in March 2010 with delivery of the 79th upgraded CF-18 Hornet aircraft to Canada’s defence forces. The two-phase, nine-year incremental upgrade of Canada’s CF-18 Hornet fleet ensures an effective and operationally credible fighter force for Canada.
- Phase 1 of the project, completed in 2006, upgraded the Canadian Hornet fleet’s avionics, radar, radio and weapons capabilities.
- Phase 2, completed in March 2010, improved the data link system to ensure Canadian forces are interoperable with United States and other allied aircraft fleets and added the Boeing Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System to improve weapons targeting. New color cockpit displays to increase situational awareness were incorporated along with an upgraded, chaff-and-flare dipsensing electronic warfare system to improve survivability.
