Realistic Controls and realy good 1:1

theres a switch for the tailhook but theres no tailhook

when i spawn it it turns and i cant use it

is there a tail hook if no please add one.

This fighter is so cool and I think you should make a blue angels variant, which I tried

update when

maybe you could add an ordinance cart to rearm or to give people the ability to copy/paste ordinance onto the jet for a mission

Darkstar is next right?

Certified Top Gun Moment

To create a compatible rocket pod, you need to ensure that the hardpoint ordinance type is set to 7, and you need to take the Composite On/Off channel 1 input and convert it into an On/Off signal for the rocket pod trigger. In flight, make sure the UFC is set to 7, the master arm is on, and the landing gear is retracted. Pressing and holding 4 will fire rockets from all pods at the same time.

i cant use the RP. why?

i cant lock on to targets with aam each time i release it just goes one direction slowly not toward the target

top gun

The UFC is currently used to select specific ordinance types on the hardpoints: each ordinance type has a corresponding number between 1 and 12 (detailed in the workshop description above), and setting its value will make the aircraft automatically select the appropriate hardpoint automatically. For example, if you input "10" into the UFC it'll try to use the radar-guided missiles that are equipped on the aircraft by default.

As for the tail hook, it's a feature I haven't yet added to the aircraft, so it currently serves no purpose. I may add one in the future using some kind of mag-all, but I am not sure yet.

and wheres the hook?

what is UFC?

very cool jet, the coolest details ive seen

Thanks for the feedback! I have updated the vehicle to dispense chaff instead of flares, I had honestly forgotten that it was an option now on the flare dispensers!

very good, but the roll is SO SLOW that i cant maneuver with this awesome pitch rate without crashing because i cant roll to correct myself in time

switch out the flares for chaff i actually have to evade missiles when using a fighter sometimes

Thanks for the feedback good to know

I just want to say that I love the graphics you included! They're really cool.

An altitude hold is definitely something I'd like to add to this in the future. I did experiment a bit with making my own gyro using angular speed sensors, but I ended up with a very bizarre flight model that was more difficult to handle than the default gyro.

In the meantime, I suggest using the trim settings by holding ALT in-flight and pressing the control keys accordingly.

can you add alt hold for longer distance flights it is always noseing upwards

how did i know this would be on top lol

why can't i fire the missles ive done the steps

bruh the controlls are wrong the throttle, rudders/front nose gear. fix it

Wings seem fine

WINGS need to be a little bigger

*Top gun theme starts*

Create F/A-26B so I can play VTOL VR in Stormworks

For now, you'll have to find or build your own ordinance if you want to use different things on the aircraft. So long as you set the ordinance type, it'll attempt to launch, release, or activate it accordingly (more details in the workshop description above). In the near future, I may release a sample pack which will contain additional ordinance types, which you'll be able to copy-and-paste onto the aircraft.

Currently there is no enhanced tracking functionality on the missiles, they use a basic self-guided seeker setup. I've not done much work on weapon systems, so I only provided some simple ones so that people had something to use by default.

wait, so how do i change the hardpoint setup?

also, how do you fire missiles that TRACK other vehicles? every vehicle i use that has missiles doesnt track others

Yea it was at low, thanks!

Sorry to hear that you're having issues! I believe this can happen when the Physics Detail is set to Low (or Auto). If possible, I'd suggest trying on a higher setting to see if the issue persists.

Gear collapses every time i start moving, stopping me from taking off.

Nice work!

Maybe! It took me about 8 months on-and-off to complete this project, but there are certainly a lot of parts I could re-use for making aircraft (especially other Hornet variants) so it may happen at some point.

Are you ever gonna make a two seater F/A-18?

Can you show me your specific setup? A video of your process and screenshots of your hardpoint ordinance type settings would be helpful.

The screens are not touch-interactive, the hardpoint controller should automatically select the first available unguided bomb that it can find on your aircraft once you put "3" into the UFC.

my UFC is set to 3, and everything is how it should be, it doesnt let me select anything on the screens, and nothing changes

Really nice plane, waiting for more updates with more details and features, i still miss some kind of emergency egress system, and things like fire extiguish, but its really nice, waiting for updates :)

Make sure that your Ordinance Type on the bomb itself is set to "Unguided Bomb", the Master Arm On/Off switch is set to ON, and the Gear Extend/Retract Switch is set to ON.

I've uploaded a short clip here with a working example: Imgur Link [imgur.com]

i set the UFC to 3, unguided bombs, and it doesnt do anything. i don't know how to use them, and 4 doesn't work

can you make a f15 or f16

Impressive and detailed. One of the best hornets I've ever seen in stormworks

The hardpoint controller is configured to recognise the ordinance type set by the hardpoint connector component. If you input a number between 1 and 12 into the UFC, the controller will automatically select the first hardpoint(s) that has a matching ordinance type.

For example, if you input "10" into the UFC it'll try to use the radar-guided missiles that are equipped on the aircraft by default.

how do i actually use the EFC stuff?

Thanks! I tried to cover all of the important details, but there are some additional features (e.g. wing folding, ECS, cockpit lights) that I did not discuss, but are options in the cockpit. Do let me know if there's anything you'd like to see added to the instructions!

Super impressive and really detailed instructions.
