F/A-18 Hornet 3.0 is Graphic Simulation Corp (GSC)'s first flight sim released on PC, and it is a very realistic and highly underrated sim. Jim Pedicord's review for CD Mag explains why die-hard armchair pilots should take a look:

Platform: Mac Fly the Navy/Marine workhorse fighting machine-the F/A-18 Hornet. How to play old mac games on new macs. Load up with precision guided munitions. Fly above a thousand square miles of realistic satellite image-based terrain. The first of the 'F/A-18 Hornet' series, this flight simulator was among the most realistic available for the Macintosh at the time of its release. It features a detailed simulation of the F/A-18 Hornet fighter jet in air-air and air-ground combat missions. The flat-shaded polygon graphics allow for high frame rates even on pre-PowerPC Macintoshes.

  • The game can be played with the mouse easily by setting 'Stick' to 'Joystick' and ticking 'Slow Stick Control' in the preferences. A joystick is not required. F/A-18 Hornet 2.0.1 - Macintosh Garden.
  • F/A-18 Hornet 3.0.x (Mac abandonware from 1997) To date, Macintosh Repository served 1058782 old Mac files, totaling more than 191174.7GB!
  • F/A-18 Hornet is one of the most popular Mac OS based flight simulation programs. Take control of one of the most powerful jet fighters in the world, and you'll soon find yourself fighting in a war in the Middle East. If you thought landing on aircraft carriers looked easy in Top Gun, wait until you have to do it at night!
  • Nov 09, 2011  Hey guys, I'm wondering if it's still possible to get this game AND run it in OS X, used to love it. Any hints or tips would be welcome.i have still got the floppys somewhere.
  • F/A-18 Hornet 3.0 is Graphic Simulations Corporation’s first foray into the PC sim market and it is a very pleasant surprise. Not that GSC is lacking in sim experience, having released three successful versions of the F/A-18 on the Macintosh.

'Every so often an unheralded product will show up that turns out to be a real eye-opener. F/A-18 Hornet 3.0 is Graphic Simulations Corporation's first foray into the PC sim market and it is a very pleasant surprise. Not that GSC is lacking in sim experience, having released three successful versions of the F/A-18 on the Macintosh. Designed for the experienced flight sim pilot this product has most all the standard features you have come to expect in a flight sim and more.

Detail is the name of game in Hornet 3.0 and with three previous iterations to build on most have been thoroughly addressed. From the fresnel lens system ('meatball') on the carrier to the beautiful full-screen cockpit display complete with moving maps and digital displays, even the minute details are carefully portrayed. Everything from inlet temperature to engine vibration is monitored on the Digital Display Indicators (DDIs) and the amount of information available can be overwhelming. Of course with all the detail involved, this sim ends up being somewhat complex and could be quite daunting for a beginner. The manual, which is rather short and desperately needs an index and glossary, is laid out and reads like an actual Department of Defense document. To help get you up to speed there are excellent tutorials built right into the sim, covering such topics as carrier landings, air-to-ground attacks, and navigation. These training tutorials come up on a mock TV/VCR and give actual sim camera footage as well as informative blackboard diagrams to help explain various aspects of the F/A-18.

Do not be fooled by the slightly outdated graphics; the flight model on this baby is excellent and after several hours of flying around you can almost imagine you are in the real thing. Landing on the carrier for the first time with the Landing Signal Officer giving you verbal directions as you focus on the meatball is quite an exhilarating experience. There is great sense of engine power when flying around, especially when you kick in the afterburners and get the satisfying muffled roar; the little details are what make this sim fun. I cannot ever remember playing another sim where I was waved off on a landing because of traffic on the flight deck.

Most all features that are routinely expected in a flight sim are present in this one: video replays, multiple views including padlock, network and modem play, taxiing on runways, excellent control of wingmen, radio messages and a wide variety of ordnance. HARMs make an appearance in this sim as well as a few tactical nukes, all assigned on a very well designed ordnance screen.

Though a great deal of attention was spent on details there some general areas that are lacking. First and most important are the number of missions; there [are] only 28, playable as a single campaign or individually. Though there are also six multiplayer and training missions, there is no mission builder/editor and thus the hard drive 'life' of this sim may turn out to be rather short. Mission briefings are also short and non-descriptive, with no detailed maps or information given out. Debriefing consist of only a dot-matrix print-out to the screen showing number of kills; very life-like but not that useful, especially when compared to other sims. Missions tend to be very difficult with plenty of SAMs to make life difficult and an enemy pilot AI that can be very challenging in a dogfight.

Now you can close everything.It's possible that when you click the Run button, you will receive an error. At the end of the process, you should see a message Winetricks Command Finished. This happens if there are some wineskin processes already running. Mac os high sierra games download. Don't worry if you see a warning about your version not being supported.

F/A-18 Hornet 3.0 is an excellent flight sim for someone looking for a serious and challenging flying experience. Though a little short on missions and slightly dated graphically, it is fun, interesting, and full of surprises. GSC has made a solid entrance into the world of PC simulators.'
