Decent F/A-18 simulator?

After a quick scout around teh interwebz a lot of this type of error seems to be pointing to DVD drives - without spending much more time I'd recommend trying an alternative DVD drive or maybe even try to install on a friends PC just to see...

Good luck.

Well, I got it off a friend who didn't want it, I told him about this happening, and he had the same error first time round, but his installed the second time. Odd?

I think that this (when modded for F/A-18s) would be brilliant

Well, it already has an F-18!

I'm a little skeptical to be honest because, under the hood, Falcon 4 is still built very much for F-16 systems. All modded planes for it so far, even those with full cockpits produced, have been essentially F-16s dressed up with different visuals. Now, BMS might prove me wrong later, but so far I'm thinking that while it's gonna get you a lot closer than Strike Fighters, it's still not going to be a very faithful F-18 sim as such. Again, it's fairly fun to fly other planes in it already, but not to a level where it's something that you can trust as a training aid.
