as is standard for my personal crusade to give us new 54 textures, I am obligated to remind you the 54C was white as well 

 

I remember that now, either way ED holds the keys to remedying that and it's all locked away. I don't foresee them doing it anytime soon, adding multiple visual model variants for piles of weapons but who knows.

 

There effectively needs to be separate USAF and USN/USMC libraries for weapons, Navy bombs are usually covered in that ablative coating and missile stencils are different. But again, ED has to do all of that and create the visual model entries separately for the 3rd Parties to reference. Then HB could create duplicate entries for the missiles with (white) and (gray) options. Even better would be ED implementing some kind of core date system like the mission builder filter, that will appropriately present the right variant of missile depending on year in the sim. But I think even then if you go too far back the INS or something in the Tomcat stops working.

I think that is a valid solution, I really hope EED and HB are able to figure something out.

All they need to do is clone the missile and create a second instance with the same properties but different textures. We have that for Mav's and the AIM7F/M.

What is the status of Jester-ovich  functionality - ie locking gnd targets for pilot - basically stuff that Petrovich AI is going to do for Mi-24P ?

You mean the LANTIRN operation? Not yet implemented.

Yup, also been waiting for this functionality for quite a while! would be nice if it was made a higher priority.
