FSX F/A-18 Hornet Update

F/A-18 Hornet update for FSX refreshes the default jet with reworked flight dynamics, a corrected fourth wheel, and an added 2D panel while keeping the virtual cockpit layout unchanged. A carrier operations tutorial is included to match the new panel, and it requires the Concorde gauge for full functionality.

An update the default FA-18. Includes an added 2D panel with the VC left as before. Flight dynamics have been redone and the fourth wheel added. Included is a carrier tutorial, because the 2D panel is not visually compatible with the original tutorial. By Bob Chicilo.

  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.

  2. Place files per the readme

    Most FSX add-ons go into one of: SimObjects\Airplanes\, Addon Scenery\, Effects\, or Gauges\.

  3. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
Still stuck? The readme included with the file is the authoritative source for this specific mod. Visit our Flight School tutorials or ask in our Q&A forum.
