What about the RF-18A, any plans for that? :welcoming:

Welp, I was seriously considering doing the YF-18A/B, since there's just a bit of minor differences externally. I suppose I could just throw the camera platter onto a single seat A. The platter mesh on the nose is swappable on the model, so it's really easy for me to mix and match parts.

That is beautiful work! What are you modeling in and what is your poly count, just out of curiosity. Will you be going payware or freeware. I will be looking forward to a release.
 
Here's some fun Hornet video while we wait...

Heya Wingnut,
I've started back up with the F-4 after we received access to the VRS Tacpack to finish out the weapons so I can get those submitted.
I'll post up some VC shots in a few hours to show where I left off.

EXPLOSIVE ! , I'm more the :ghost: fan , when I heard they were going to be retired and out off service with the USN I felt the world fell apart .. least the day i heard that i was only 10 i guess .. being a Kiwi , who'd ever thought we operated Phantoms .. well we didn't .. almost on the score board .
 
Hello all,
Happy New Years! Here's a quick Hornet update of the cockpits (WIP):

Hopefully will have an F-4B exterior update up shortly!

Semper Fi,

Dang that looks nice. I especially like the correct shape of the canopy, in that it bulges outward from the canopy rail. It's a cool view, when sitting in the seat, something that stuck in my brain for some reason. Other Hornets out there in FS land have the canopy going straight up from the rail, nice as they are in all other respects. That EF-18M I had to Google. Looked like some odd mix between a C/D and an E/F. Very interesting.

Hello everyone,
While Alex and I are waiting for the F-4B to get painted up, I've returned to a project I've been working on for quite awhile.
It's the Legacy Hornet.
While serving in the Marine Corps, I had the awesome opportunity to serve with a reserve Marine squadron aboard Andrews AFB, VMFA-321. Being an aviation fan since I was a kid, it was awesome being around what came to be my favorite jet (which had previously been the A-6 Intruder, which had been retired a few years before). Previously, as a field radio operator, I had only been able to see these aircraft from afar dropping training ordinance. Having the opportunity to actually sit in one and fly our simulator was more than a guy could ask for!

So, I'm finally getting around to making my dream of offering a Legacy Hornet with hopefully VRS level realism a reality! I'm also planning on doing every version I can, since they're all fairly similar (this includes CF-188). It's still fairly early WIP, I've only gotten to shadow mapping the exterior and I'm still working on the VCs, but here are some exterior shots. Please let me know what you all think!

Thanks,
Jamal
