This is the original F/A-18 Hornet from FSX Acceleration that I've imported and modified to make it more realistic. I've upscaled the textures to 8K resolution and gave a Glossy finish. Afterburners, Lights, and Engines are also working, and for the best experience use Legacy in Flight Model Options.
Note: This is not a perfect study-level aircraft as of right now there are no clickable switches, most panels aren't working, and the gear is up by default when you spawn at a gate or ramp.
Installation: Simply download the F/A-18 Hornet zip file and extract both the "FA-18_Hornet" and "legacy-vcockpits-instruments" into your Community Folder.
The FSX F/A-18 Hornet was converted using MSFS Legacy Importer by Alex Marko. (https://www.nexusmods.com/microsoftflightsimulator/mods/117)

Even if it is disable, I'm still having very fun with it! I love it! The CTD only comes when you move the mouse at cockpit view, if you don't move the mouse, for example turning it around, you can use the plane without crashes. Maybe there is an easy way to disable "over mouse" events to prevent those CTD. I made some captures, hope you like them. Cheers 😊

Why aren't the afterburners working anymore?
3 years ago
The afterburners are working for me, try reinstalling the (legacy-vcockpits-instruments) folder and use Alex Marko's JSON converter to (https://msfs.touching.cloud/mods/json-generator/) to fix the folder.

Why simple conversion takes allmost 3 GB? What for is legacy-vcockpits-instruments folder for this plane? There are no animated gauges and it ruins another converted models
3 years ago
This isn't a simple conversion, most of the textures were upscaled to 8k resolution. The "legacy-vcockpits-instruments" holds the afterburners and gauges animations, you also need to put that in your Community folder to work. And the zip file its self should only be 1.13 GB.

I love the afterburner, but the flight dynamic is more like 747 than a fighter. IT is not too hard to make it behave more like a fighter, unstable thou. but if the author wants I can help you with the config.

Those liveries weren't upscaled to 8k so I removed them.
