F/A-18A-D Hornet (Legacy) for FSX

Not work! only off

It's a lower poly version of the main project developed for Combat Pilot Series by MadCatz. I was approached about a year or so ago to contribute a Hornet model for the sim. I actually made two, a single and two seater. Previously, I had been the number 5 member in the FSXBA, had recently left as a flying member of the group. As a way to support and contribute to the team, I made an agreement with MadCatz to make a version of the CP Hornet specifically for, and to be exclusively used by, the FSXBA.

Jimi, formerly the Boss of the FSXBA, recently made an agreement with MadCatz to release the CP Hornets for free to the community which are the screenshots posted. I cannot, since I don't own those models, support them in anyway, and there are quite a bit of modeling issues with them. But, the general shapes are similar to what I'm developing! Just much lower polys, alot of minute details omitted. Pilot models between the CP tactial versions and the FSXBA version are completely different. I think only the FSXBA version has wing flexing, although you should still see flexing from the VC if it's shared amongst the different models.

And in the meantime, we have this to play with.

As a teaser (lower poly count and so forth) this thing is well worth the effort!

BTW, the makers of this model should IMHO consider having Zsolt on the team for the paints!

Thanks for telling about this... what a great model (FSX BA F18C). I'm sure Jamal and Teams project will be even better but for now this is a big step up on the Default F18. Look forward to seeing what repaints Zolt and others come up with.

Hi Jamal.

Your project is great, and it is also great to see your EF18M cockpit. By the moment, I am preparing the Spanish textures for your model, to be ready to fly it as soon as possible

Thanks a lot for your effort.

Heya Jagl,
I have to admit, I'm especially excited to do the EF18M! I'm also planning on doing the older EF18A as well, and trying to match up the antannaes and such with pictures I've been collecting. It's been fun seeing all the different versions of the jet that are out there!

Gotta say, I'm very excited to see this project in the works. I'll admit to having checked this thread out every time someone posts on it!

In the meantime, the FSXBA release on the FSDT forum of the older MadCatz version of this model is also very welcome and has been my new home for the past few nights.

All in all, a good time to be 'simming'!
