Thanks to DCD for their freeware release of the FSX Acceleration F/A-18C Hornet.
It is much appreciated by the community.
------------------------------------------------------
While the aircraft is good overall, the textures are severely lacking. I have upgraded the textures to 2K; I am not doing 4k or 8k at this point, because while a lot of latest PC owners can take advantage of that, it comes at a performance cost for those with not so new computers.
2K is a good compromise IMO and still updates the textures; specifically the logos and stencils to a much improved version compared to the original.
I have not yet updated all of the stencils because it's the weekend and I have other more fun things to do. Those upgrades and possibly 4k upgrade may come later for those who want it.
In the meanwhile, Enjoy my favorite Hornet Livery; the Blue Blasters. Pilot patches and helmet are updated as well.
Note: I know there is a modeling issue around canopy and nose area with the FSX Acceleration Hornet. That cannot be fixed by Dean or anyone else right now since this is a portover for FSX. This modeling issue is more apparent when you put it next to a native F/A-18C (2 reference images attached).
As always, Go Navy!
