Mike Busutil Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) The weapons rails below the fuselage (stations 3-6) weigh approximately "X" lbs... ~I have read they weigh as little as 375 lbs each (x4 1,500 lbs) and as heavy as 1,000 lbs each (x4 4,000 lbs)~ I noticed if the weapon rails are removed, the weight of the aircraft is not affected and remains the same.

Cobra847 Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 The weight is accounted for directly in the flight model, but won't show up properly in those dialogues since their implementation is "custom". Nicholas Dackard Founder & Lead Artist Heatblur Simulations https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/

Donut Posted May 4, 2019 Posted May 4, 2019 The weight is accounted for directly in the flight model, but won't show up properly in those dialogues since their implementation is "custom". Is the weight in the mission editor with or without the weapon rails/attachments? i5 7600K @4.8GHz | 1080 Ti | 32GB 3200MHz | SSD | DCS SETTINGS | "COCKPIT"

turkeydriver Posted May 5, 2019 Posted May 5, 2019 All of our Phoenix in the game require coolant correct? We don't have the AIM-54C+ ECCM sealed. The forward pallets carry the coolant IIRC- might be all, but that adds to weight a bit. VF-2 Bounty Hunters https://www.csg-1.com/ DCS F-14 Pilot/RIO Discord: https://discord.gg/6bbthxk
