When i add a single AIM120C it adds 2125 pounds to the aircraft weight on the checklist.

The DCS encyclopedia says the weight of an AIM120C is 330pounds, is this a bug

Is it when it's on the wings or the fuselage? Asking as the wing pylons on the 18 are very big.

I don't think it's a problem of the aircraft physically, most likely an error in checklist page. Anyway, this was reported and awaiting it's turn to be fixed.

That's what I've understood as well, it's just on the checklist page. It does affect any systems that are related to the weight calculation though, such as the G-limiter of the FCS.

That's great to hear. Is the rest of the ordnance going along nicely ? If it can help, or show the extent of the problem, here's a table I made with ordnance weights from different sources (Checklist page, re-arming window, and real-life data*).

 

* in a few cases I had conflicting sources about that one, or no info

 

I tested all that by rearming an empty (fuel-wise) aircraft, with ground power, and cross-checking the weight given in the rearming window and the checklist page.

It may not be entirely accurate, but it should be close (I had some discrepancies when I tried to verify some of the ordnance weight).

 

Note that the difference I gave is between Checklist and Arming window, not real-life. In rare cases, the weight from the checklist seems actually closer to real-life (ex: GBU-10). Some ordnance do not have any "checklist weight" at all, or almost (ex: GBU-31/38, AGM-154, AN/AWW-13).

 

There is also an ~115-lb discrepancy on clean weight. Anyway, I'm guessing you might already have all the info you need, but just in case more can help, there you go.
