Different R-77 versions in FC?

[TucksonSonny]

FC 1.12a has 2 versions of R-77. What is the difference between the 2 versions apart from weight and pylon model?

I am talking about these differences:

{B4C01D60-A8A3-4237-BD72-CA7655BC0FE9} "R-77"

{B4C01D60-A8A3-4237-BD72-CA7655BC0FEC} "R-77"

There is no difference - the reason for two entrances of the missile is exactly because one is the missile itself, while the other is the missile+launcher rack.

 

This constalation is necessary simply because some(most) aircraft models have "fixed" pylons which means that only the missile should be attached to the aircraft, while the newer Su-25TM model doesnt and therefore needs the appropriate(APU-170) laucher rack to be mounted along with the missile :) .

Now I get it! The total weight was calculated with missile and APU-170 launcher rack together.

It was indeed a strange view when I was checking out the fixed pylon together with the special APU-170 extended launcher rack on the mig. First I thought that I found a super R-77 configuration :icon_mrgr .
