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ALL ITEMS IN THE MASTER BRANCH SHOULD BE CONSIDERED OUTDATED AND NOT USED.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.

• If you have any questions, visit our Discord server and ask questions.
