October 30, 201312 yr Hey guys, I like flying the default F-18, however I do not like the autopilot that much, is there a way to get better interface for it? I can use the hdg,alt and spd hold bugs, but I do not see the value, except for the heading. I would like to see what altitude is the autopilot holding or going to as well as the speed, because right now with the alt and spd holds im just guessing. If it is possible to have some better interface where I could see the values through some mod or addon, that would be great. Thanks
October 30, 201312 yr I think it is fairly realistic - fighters aren't as "user friendly" as civilian aircraft. Try asking the developer: http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/board,4.0.html Simmerhead - Making the virtual skies unsafe since 1987!
October 30, 201312 yr If it is possible to have some better interface where I could see the values through some mod or addon, that would be great. You could try this mod by Jivko Rusev: http://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=new+realistic+hud&categoryId= It's very easy to just drop the couple files in the Panel folder. Just remember to backup the panel.cfg (renaming to panel.cfg.bak will work) It uses the standard FSX Bendix / King avionics stack and adds another popup switches panel. As far as speed hold, the autopilot uses v/s, of course, not speed... but this gets you "close".

Everytime you fly default F-18 without that, you make small pandas cry. Cheers, George.
October 30, 201312 yr I'm using Opera and it works just fine. Tried it in Firefox and Internet Explorer, works as well. But here, I posted it on my Google Drive for you: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2EGl5FFDNPscmdKZlE3ZGNlbEE/edit?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2EGl5FFDNPscmdKZlE3ZGNlbEE/edit?usp=sharing If that's not working, it's time to change your browser :smile: Cheers, George.
October 30, 201312 yr Author That one worked for me. Perhaps some problem on route between my isp and the server.
October 30, 201312 yr Probably.By the way there's a manual too in the files somewhere that describes all new functions and here's another manual for FSX Hornet:https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2EGl5FFDNPsN3psSW9KTDF1RDg/edit?usp=sharing...autopilot operation should be there as well. Anyway, feel free to ask if you need any help, although I haven't properly played FSX for a year... so manuals would probably be the better choice ^_^ Cheers, George.
October 31, 201312 yr Author There is quite a lot of new planes in that file with a lot of different variants. Some have some "Effects" and some dont. Im kinda lost what " effects" those are
October 31, 201312 yr It's all the same. Kinda. There are Effects and Multiplayer. Only difference is that Multiplayer versions shouldn't have some visual effects so it doesn't eat so much FPS for you when flying with other people. For singleplayer flying, use Effects and not MP. Cheers, George.
