Viciam1 Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 Hi guys, with the new open beta update released today I noticed a couple of updates which I was hoping someone may be able to help me with. Restrict Launch of AGM-88 From Stations 4 and 6 - can be carried but not launched AND Corrected the FCR TWS range change Increase. Does that mean I can only carry 2 harms now instead of 4? And what about this TWS range change increase? What does that do? Is that when in RWS mode when you push the cursor all the way up it increases the range? I know in TWS you couldn't push it all the way up or down to increase or decrease before?
AlexCaboose Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 You can carry 4 HARMs, but can only launch 2. 2 1 476th vFG Website, 476th vFG Discord, 476th vFG Pipeline
Viciam1 Posted July 21, 2021 Author Posted July 21, 2021 So why would I want to carry 4 if I can only launch 2? 2

JeffreyC Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 They really should have removed the mounting on those points instead of just restricting launching. For the first time we now have weapons that can be loaded but not used and there is nothing to indicate this in the mission editor/planner or rearming screen. This will surely be VERY confusing and lead to some very unpleasant surprises during missions. 5

First off we are not flying only one plane. That itself would be very bad for ED's business model if every user purchased only one module. Second the pilot does lot load out the aircraft. Come one, your post made no sense at all. There is no reason for a person to look up from outside sources for every weapon on every aircraft they are using at home for entertainment. 3

- Sonic - Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 Is possible to add a sort of advise on loadout page to set AGM-88 for 4&6 with a warning like "NOT USABLE" to avoid error during rearm and refuel or initially setup fo F-16?
