I am not sure if the recent update announcement is because of this thread or just coincidence, but thanks!
RAAF F/A-18s mount the litening on the inlet AIM-7/120 mounts, so it is possible to mount them there - I guess that is dependant on how it is wired, in the USMC models, of course.

Hi... I saw the no logs attached thing... there were no logs.. at least not in the neat little zip file it usually does. If I can reproduce it again I will see if theres logging elsewhere.
-
Haha love it... although hitting an AAM is a bit harder than a much larger SAM :)
-
I guess in theory this would be possible IRL... but I thought I'd post it up.
I hit a MiG-23 with an AIM-120 and it didn't seem to go down so I launched an AIM-9X at it. Just as it came off the rail the seeker track seemed to move to the left, missile tracked and there was an explosion but it seemed too far away from the MiG-23. Anyway it went down, so happy chappy.
Get back for the debrief and this is what I find!

Also a quick side note... when the AI does actually use the Mk82SE, it drops from 3000ft AGL, with the retarders on. Not cool man. :)
Not sure if that is hornet specific or not.... but again thought I would mention it.

Hi
I have an issue where the sim crashes if I tell an AI Hornet to engage ground targets, and it is carrying 4xMk82SE (+3 tanks, 2xAIM120Cs and 2xAIM9X)
It is a considerable time into the mission (about 15 mins) and it seems repeatable... but thinking it was just a problem with Mk82SE (since Mk82 never caused a crash) I tried setting up a quick mission with similar targets, and Mk82SE, but it didn't crash. So, I am not sure what it is but I guess because there are a lot more objects in the mission it might have something to do with that... for example around the same time it would've been spiked by a Tanguska. Its also in some very hilly terrain so that might be throwing it out. My test was on the disused runway 'range'.
Anyway, thought I'd report it. It does seem specific to high drag bombs, but there's more to it, I will keep trying to eliminate the other factors.

The aircraft being simulated is a US Navy Lot 20 FA-18C, unfortunatly they don’t use the LITENING pod so you won’t see it on this aircraft. It’s also somewhat more complex then a simple copy/paste job to bring the LITENING across from the A-10C and integrate it with the Hornets systems, so you can actually use it.
Have patience, the ATFLIR will be worth it ;)
I also just found the USMC used it too, on F/A-18Cs. But, I hear what you're saying, I was just 'thinking out loud'.... and well its a wish list, I don't expect every one to come true.
-
Yeah I will probably get shouted down as everyone's about the AT FLIR :)
... but thought it might be relatively easy to implement given the A-10C implementation (its also carried by the Harrier and Viggen operationally - not sure about in game as I haven't got those modules yet). Of course I say that having no idea how easy it is to take code from one module and put it in another - but I figured I can ask, ED can only say no, and I am no worse off! :)
Background:
RAAF F/A-18A/B (may as well call it a C/D its had so many upgrades) and Finland's F/A-18C/D have them.
Forgive me, I'm new :)

Thx for the clarification Snoopy, do you know if this is just a different designation or a completely different model of the AGM-65?
According to Wikipedia:
Maverick E2/L model incorporates a laser-guided seeker that allows for designation by the launch aircraft, another aircraft, or a ground source and can engage small, fast moving, and maneuvering targets on land and at sea
given the E2 designation, sounds like it got some upgrades in there somewhere.

Yeah I can confirm I am getting this too. I tried a late activation (to uncontrolled state) as well, same deal.
Mine was fine if I did a 'start from ramp' however.
No issues otherwise. In my mission it was fine to change it out for a Mi-28, but I thought I'd give some feedback.
F-111 Aardvark

The F-111F is also listed as an aircraft in the aircraft list (for aerodrome resources), that is probably why. Unfortunately not selectable from the Mission Editor Aircraft list. A little odd, since the Russian knock-off of it - the Su-24 - is available.
Personally I'd like to see at least an AI F-111C/F/G, an RF-111C, and an EF-111A... a flyable F-111 would be the bomb, even if its an FC3 style one initially.
