F/A-18 Hornet v1.0 with final beta patch v1.1.3b2 (not Hornet Classic)

This is a bit of a rarity I've been looking for, for quite some time. Most versions of F/A-18 Hornet v1.0 will be the Classic version, a fat binary designed to run on both m68k and PPC Mac harrdware. This version 'seems to be equivalent to v1.1.2'.
The final v1.1.3b2 patch was never compatible with the Classic version, so it's been a bit of a mystery, what the final F/A-18 Hornet V1.0 version was actually like.
I found v1.1 and I was able to patch it to v1.1.2 and then patch it to the final beta patch v1.1.3b2.
Here I take it out for a spin, a flight around Pearl Harbour, over to the airport, then the city, back to the airport and then back to the airbase for a landing. Controls are very sensitive!
So pleased I've managed to recreate this version of this Mac classic flight sim!
In this video I have F/A-18 Hornet v1.1.3b2 running under the same Sheepshaver emulation setup as Hornet Classic. My website details how I set up emulation for Hornet Classic here: www.tales-from-darkenedroom.c...

Really amazing what was achieved in terms of simulation fidelity back then.

tbh I never thought of the Mac platform as a particularly good one for retro flight sims, boy was I wrong. had a real blast when I played this earlier under emulation!
