[REPORTED]Incorrect missile weights

[XtraChrisP]

There is a significant disconnect between what missiles weigh in the re-arm window and what the Hornet flight computer thinks they weigh (as evidenced by the aircraft gross weight in the Checklist page). Sidewinders are off by about 400 lbs, while AMRAAMs are off by almost 2000.

 

 

 

I used an empty loadout as a control and also looked at dumb bombs. Those appeared to be ok.

 

 

I looked at MAVs, HARMs, and the TGP and they're all off by 500-1500 lbs as well. I'm inclined to believe that the re-arm window has the correct weights as my carrier approach last night seemed to suggest that my jet was well below max trap weight, in contrast to what was showing up on my Checklist page.

 

Anyone else come across this?
