strikeeagle Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Now why were the AMRAAMS and Sparrows removed from being able to load them on the CFTs? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Chris
sapounas Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 I think F-15E can only mount 4 a/a missiles on the wings, the other places on CFTs and under the fuselage are only for a/g (and of course under the wings)

The LAU-106's are on the CFT's. 120's can and are loaded on the CFTS's. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Chris
Eddie Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Not true. The LAU-106's are on the CFT's. 120's can and are loaded on the CFTS's. With the aircraft configured for the air to air role, yes. The DCS Strike Eagle is configured in its air to ground configuration. In which it is not possible to load weapons on the LAU-106 missile ejector launchers. In A/G role config the forward LAU-106 is stowed aft of the forward ERU, and the rear cannot be loaded while the forward ERU is loaded. DCS does not currently support differing role configurations for the aircraft featured. When that changes I'm sure it'll be possible to load weapons on the MELs.

So you mean, in DCS, the Strike cannot be configured to have a bastard load? The real airplane can do both and can be configured for both. As a matter of fact as resent as Enduring Freedom, we would carry 120's on the aft CFT station when carrying the AGM-130. This doesn't make sense to me, but whatever. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Chris
strikeeagle Posted January 25, 2014 Author Posted January 25, 2014 Oh the FWD 106 on the real jet is reversed until it's needed. Weapons lowers the 106, turns it around, and reinstalls it in the correct direction. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Chris
Eddie Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 The 4 MELs are stations 3C, 4C, 6C, & 7C. These are not modelled in DCS at present. The real F-15E has 23 weapon stations, the DCS F-15E only has 19. So the only way to load AAM on the CFT stations at present is for them to be loaded on the AG ERUs, which is physically impossible, hence the change.

strikeeagle Posted January 25, 2014 Author Posted January 25, 2014 What in the hell is an MEL? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Chris
strikeeagle Posted January 25, 2014 Author Posted January 25, 2014 I'm used to just LAU. Ok then...thanks for the clarification. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Chris
