If you make one of your waypoints the bullseye, your tdc cursor will tell you the distance and bearing to the bullseye when it is selected as the active waypoint.

Odd that the LS-6-250 and the LS-6-500 bombs have the same drag.

I've seen that happen when you have the BRM1 in CCIP mode.

Yeah it 100% doesn't make sense to leave things probably easily fixed by the developer broken for such a long period of time.
Not relevant to the bug itself, this should probably be moved to discussions.
From what I've seen ED do, it's mainly to keep "balance". Like increasing the air friction on the LD-10 so it performs worse than a harm, same with the SD-10. Or they increase the RCS so that an LD-10 or SDB can actually be seen by a SAM even though they probably couldn't see them, etc.

It only sets QFE not QNH. It does work as intended.

You weren't within the parameters, you need to have between 25 and 30 degree dive angle - you're at 24, so not quite. Also altitude of 2500 AGL, you are at 4509.

I tried to drop some LS-6-100s because there's a jtac in the area so it is safer for me, I get the tone, drop it, and one second later, my wing blows up. Tested twice. I was going about mach 0.94, idk why it decides to blow up my wing but I wish it wouldn't.

cutinng the throttle to idle while defensive or evading a missile is dangerous
not when it's a heat seeking missile....

you forgot - the Russian engine, and the Turkish targeting pod

Also, if you need the extra G, then you can switch to AA mode instead of A/G its literally one switch, and it'll disable the G limiter, however your pylons will be damaged if you over-g them, which given the choice is between death or a damaged plane, seems like a reasonable compromise to make.

Smaller fuel tanks have a higher jettison speed, so take less fuel, fly slower to conserve fuel and give yourself the option to EJ. If it is an SA-13, then your flying low will give your flares a better chance to work. Use the flares in that case. You can turn on auto flare/chaff if you aren't quick enough on the flares, or program in a continuous release program for EW when you're doing your low flyby.
If you don't like those options, then don't fly those missions. However, this hypothetical situation is untenable - for one, flying near mach 1 at low altitudes can flame out your engine so you likely don't want to do that; any high g maneuvers would rip your tail off anyway, also you aren't going to outrun a missile, second - with fuel tanks you struggle to get near mach 1, especially at low altitudes. third, If you take the smaller fuel tanks, they'll jettison at 0.9 mach so it wouldn't be a problem given the second point. fourth, if you are taking those fuel tanks, chances are you aren't doing a lot of air to ground work, as you can't carry the big bombs, aside from one big on on the middle, in which case you couldn't guide it in, which, if you have to EJ, might as well not have even made the flight in the first place, given you are flying low and fast. If you are worried about an SA-13, then you'd want to fly high anyway, as above 20k ft they'll be a lot less of a threat.
I'll quote hoggit here:
QuoteIf you expect SA-13 presence and don't want to engage it you may overfly the area in a safe height of 12000 ft or simply avoid the area in a distance of 5 NM to the suspected site.

Stop taking the big bags or go slower.

If those cues were once present,
as others have said, they weren't. You get a dotted white line when you're out of range, and a solid line when you're in range. If you specify an angle to come in at, you get a pie wedge, that is dotted when you're outside it, and solid when you're in it. Drop it when the white line is solid and you might hit your target, drop closer to the target if you want it to come in at a steeper angle. Don't drop in the small white circle, as it is too close. Sometimes it's ok to drop it after you flew over the target if you still have a solid line, and enough altitude for it to do a 180.

Another CON is you lose a com antena while using Datalink.
Not really - if you have another JF-17 in the game, you can use that com to communicate with the other Jeffs. It does work as a voice as well as data channel.

The missiles are usually short by just a few meters
Is the laser on? Can you provide a track file?

Yeah, if you have HUD brightness assigned to a knob, you have to turn that up to turn on the HUD.

It shows as (+\-)
That's the increment / decrement switch. You can use it to change waypoints, or even radio channels. Going from 001 to 002 is as easy as pushing L4 then moving that switch up. Much faster than pushing L4 and then entering 002. It takes a second to confirm, so you can switch from 001 to 034 for example, just by holding that switch up.

too good to be real,
it's just newer than any of the aircraft in DCS, by about 40 years, so no I don't think it's too good to be real. We have better aircraft these days, but not in DCS.

still a little tricky to land
If you use approach mode, then it will put you on a 10 mile final, you should be about 3000 ft above the ground when you reach that FAF, and around 300 kts. Then it's just slow down but keep the nose up a bit until the end of the runway is on your aircraft marker. Drop your gear and flaps and let that slow it down, keep your hand on the throttle and try to land it about 150kts, if you land above 190, you'll pop the tires. The last 50 feet agl, just give it a slight flare and try to land with all three wheels hitting at the same time. If the aircraft beeps at you when you're going slow, that means your AOA is about 9 which is optimal for landing, any higher AOA and you'll probably come down too fast and crunch your gear. It'll get a bit squirrely below 200, but your rudder is big, and it works fine, so use it.

appears in a different location after the mission is launched
By default, the F10 menu puts the point on the ground - in the editor, it might put it on the ground, but it'll probably be in the air - you need to check the altitude.

I've seen anywhere from 350 to 420 knots

you can destroy half the targets and a single rocket is already enough to kill anything
Generally, you want to destroy your target in a single pass, if your targeting is off a bit, firing two gives you a larger CEP, so you do more damage over a wider area.
-
generally if you take two pods you'd set it to fire off a salvo of 2.

aircraft will not differentiate between missile types
It can in the loading screen. Set it up for SD-10, fire them and switch the type to LD-10 and then fire those. IDK why it wouldn't work.

Your AG radar was in snowplow, you should set it to SLV.
