    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

FSX-SE Default F/A-18 Hornet Missing Carrier .CFG Lines

After re-installing FSX-SE on my new HD I wanted to try out the default F/A-18 Hornet. I was surprised that there was no launch assist or tailhook line entries in the aircraft.cfg file. Does anybody have good entries for those values so I can cat and trap on carriers? Or is there a better freeware Hornet available?

I see a tailhook entry in my copy. Tailhook entries go back way before FSX.
But I don't see a a launch assist. I think it is missing because it is built into the model itself. Just a guess.

Installed the FSDT F/A-18C. Nice plane with many features but for some reason (maybe my system) it kills my frame rates to a slide show. Same thing I experienced last month when I reinstalled the Aerosoft PBY Catalina package. I've attached a screenshot of the sim with the Win7 Task Manager. If anybody can see anything obvious please clue me in. I can provide my system specs if needed.

Found the Team FS KBT F/A-18E Super Hornet for FSX, works fine on my FSX-SE install with no FR hits or weird behavior.
Thanks to airtj and fsafranek for your comments. :encouragement:
 
The FS Dreamteam Hornet was known to be the best freeware Hornet around.
However, from my side, I also enjoyed quite a lot the variation of the default Hornet which was called "Sludge Hornet", which greatly improve the default FSX-SE Hornet. You might want to give that one a chance too, to check what performance you get :)

Daube, thanks for the reply. I will download the Sludge later and check it out.
