PART 2: Full Scale Development F-18A Hornet skins #7, #8, #9, and first pilot production BuNo 161248. Old style helmet/visor.
**** UPDATED 6/16/23**** LUA description change
DCS World doesn't feel complete without the original Hornet liveries.
The first twelve Hornets built were a result of the U.S. Military's new concept of developing aircraft in full scale without prototyping. This set represents 2 - 9 plus the first pilot production program aircraft which is special because it undertook performance tests which proved the F/A-18 concept was capable and not a waste of taxpayer money. I did not recreate #1 or the two TF/A-18s. Others have done a bang up job on #1 and we don't have two seater F-18s yet.
Part 2 contains #7, #8, #9, and first pilot production BuNo 161248. I changed Args to use the old style helmet visor.
Unpack the rar file in your savedgames/DCS.openbeta/liveries/FA-18C_hornet/ folder.
If you already have the skin, the description LUA file is the only thing that changed. You would have to replace the last part, the "custom_args =" part with
custom_args =
{
[509] = 1.0, --Helmet Change
[27] = 0, -- Tail change of type of board number (0 = BORT numbers visible, 1 = BORT numbers not visible )
[1000] = 0, -- Flaps
[1001] = 0, -- Nose
[1002] = 1, -- Kuwait Squadron
[1003] = 1, -- Australian Squadron
[1004] = 1, -- Finland Squadron
[1005] = 1, -- Switzerland Squadron
}
