yes. i have to report some too  sad.gif

*there is a missing field in the custom section, where your planes are located. i think there should be the former weapon layouts, like the paveway and the mk82(?) and so on.

*the mk83 version has 10 bombs, but only 6 are displayed under the plane. the first four bombs fall straight from the middle of the plane, the rest drop as they should

*there where weird things going on, when my pilot was killed inflight. i could here animation-sounds all over....

thats all, i discovered so far. going back to scare some nogova- residents with the soundbarrier boom now  tounge.gif

Also have a issue with the gear,  On the AMRAAM version once gear goes up, the front gear stays down, and you can nolonger move the gear.  As well on one of the versions, can't remember which, the canopy refused to go down

Oh yea and AA missle lock on to people, and some don't lock onto planes.

It sounds like yoshiro has the wrong addon. That was a bug in the Beta. The gear works fine in the new addon. You cannot mix the old version with the new version. Or else you will get these effects. If you are running DS, I suggest you list the addon in the checkfiles[] option. Like this:

checkfiles[]=

{

"HWTL\dta\data3d.pbo",

"dta\data3d.pbo",

"bin\config.bin",

"res\HWTL\dta\data3d.pbo",

"res\dta\data3d.pbo",

"res\bin\config.bin",

"res\hwtl\dta\Merged.pbo",

"worlds\abel.wrp",

"worlds\cain.wrp",

"worlds\eden.wrp",

"worlds\intro.wrp",

"res\addons\rad_f18.pbo"

};

This should determine if anybody is using the old addon.

i agree

wouldn´t it be better to include some code-snippet-function thingy like on the cluster bomb, but for simulating a catapult?

found two more bugs:

*you still cant lock on laser targets, which takes away some mission design possibilities in my eyes

*when crashed, the pilot appears about 2metres above the canopy

but it´s still a great addon.

thumbs up, hudson and pennywise.

yeah a simple user script would be better so people could just include the script along with there carrier if they really wanted.

Works great now guys, just one more question.  As of right now what good is the tail hook.  It looks great, but mabey you should add a script to it so that when its extended you come to a stop much faster.  If something like this is implimented and I missed it let me know.

Edit: I think that something is wrong with the cockpit in the shadow.

Grait work Hudson, best addon ewer, but a couple of things i beg you to implement in the F-18 to make it even bether.

These things has ben done on the commanche, so it should be possible for a experienced addonmake as yourselves.

1. Make a option in the menu for opening the cockpit before you can choose get out. It looks a bit funny that the cockpit is opening after the pilot has goten out.

This will look more realistic.

Cockpit closing automatically when starting engine is ok.

2. Remove the option to bring up the gear, when on ground.

3. This i am not 100% sure of, but i dont think than the f18 can fly in 800km/h with the gear down in real life, or can it???

So what abouth making it so you only can take down the gear when you're under a sertain speed limit???

If you implement this i'll vorship you.

Grait work:)

P.S Sorry for my crappy spelling, i'am from norway, and i am to tired to check my spelling.

Sorry about this. We found a bug late last night when killing an AI soldier that was pilot. It generated script errors and canopy control script started going crazy. Instead of having pennywise rewrite a few scripts to detect ObjectNull I went for the quick and easy fix with ejectDeadDriver=True in the cfg. This is why when you die you fall out of the plane and you start hearing sounds.

Probably, but when I asked penny to help me it origionaly was to fix 1 script. He wound up making 20 last time I counted. Asking him to do another 1 or 2 was out of the question when it was so easy for me to just alter the mass of the plane.

Tail hook can be considered eye candy. I guess its there so you have something to play with while moving hyperspeed back to the airport to pick up 6 more CBUs.
