OpenHornet 1:1 F/A-18C Simulator Repository

OH logo

The OpenHornet Project is a F/A-18C OFP 13C Lot 20 1:1 Replica Simulator, consisting of a physical structure and electrical/software interfaces to a PC to be driven by Digital Combat Simulator (DCS).

Currently, this repo reflects the project in its current state and is not 100% functional, and all items are subject to change.

ALL ITEMS IN THE MASTER BRANCH SHOULD BE CONSIDERED OUTDATED AND NOT USED. v1.0.0.0-beta1 IS THE LATEST BRANCH.

  • ALSO, DO NOT use anything in the release folder. It is outdated as well, and will be replaced as we prepare the beta1 release.
  • If you have any questions, visit our Discord server and ask questions.
