ring_H₃PO₄ Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) Comparing the actual photos with the screenshots, I noticed that the AMRAAM mounting positions on Sta. 4 and 6 appear to be shifted forward. The first photo is the real one and the second is the DCS screenshot. It seems to have little impact on the gameplay, but the correction makes the aircraft look more realistic.

ring_H₃PO₄ Posted July 16, 2023 Author Share Posted July 16, 2023 (edited) The one in the in-game screenshot is an AIM-120C-5. The one in the real-life photo cannot be determined, but the shape of the front and rear wings and the two rocket motor markings suggest it is one of the CATM-120C. I forgot to mention that the position of the missile fixing hooks and umbilical cable connection shows that it is a mistake. The first image shows the connector position according to the manual and the approximately correct front-back position, while the second compares it to the incorrect position (i.e., the current connection position). Edited July 16, 2023 by ring_H₃PO₄ The images were in the wrong order. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
