Mk-151 Rocket pods not loading the correct weight

[ScopeDope]

Title says it... here's a screenshot showing how extremely overweight you can make the airplane, 8x 19pod Mk-151s and your aircraft weight is over 64,000.

 

Loadout manager shows single 19 pod of Mk-151 = 690 lb

Aircraft weight page shows that it weighs 3019lb

While a double rack is a whopping 6100lb

I thought there was a discrepancy between mission-editor weight and DDI checklist weight too. Glad this isn't just me.

That could explain why I had the impression of them making the Hornet a brick... and I was wondering about the DDI checklist weight as well.

 

Some things that need to be addressed:

 

- this ^^

- I still have the impression that the rocket pods are too draggy. It's a complete difference to hauling some Mk.82 or even the heavier Mk.83s. At least I imagine they should have the aerodynamic caps on before firing

- possibility to change switch Imperials and SI units in sim, or make it aircraft dependant at least

If that's the case, I think this should be high ED's priority to look into since it might be the/a cause for many of the troubles that people face in landing & takeoff regimes.

I'm experiencing this, as well. From what I'm seeing the weight on the loadout page is the correct one.

Also noticed that when dropping the empty pods including the BRUs, the weight on CLP doesn't change at all. Those pods really need some work to be done.
