I'm being told that on the SMS page , their should be an indication for the MASTER ARM.

If this is true, then I'd like that on my wishlist, kinda makes sense and would be very handy.

Sort of kinda. When Master Arm is ON you get the "RDY" above osb 13 on the MFD screen, if in SIM you get "SIM". All that is there in the jet already.

Master arm is already indicated by "ARM" bottom left on the HUD. You can not miss it.

OK I can see why this was confusing,  I'd have to ask real block50 pilots and ask where and how exactly it would show on SMS page.
I do not have the actual documents or a picture of it,  so I will leave it for now, unless I have actual proof of what it needs exactly to be 100% sure.

My answer is because I am a real world weapons troop who has 5 years of experience on the F16 and spent loads of time in the cockpit on the SMS page.

Master Arm ON = RDY

Master Arm SIM = SIM

Master Arm OFF = Displays nothing
