I'm unfamiliar with the FA-18 but very familiar with the A-10C, would like to have a run down off currently functional weapons systems, such as air to ground, air to air etc.

Something like this for example (shown may not be correct)

Working:
Targeting pod
dumb bomb
guns
Sidewinders
RWR
CMFC Countermeasures/Chaff/flares
TISL
EGI
TACAN
ILS
SPI and SOI
UFC
CDU fully functional
UHF
VHF
APU
Markpoints
Waypoints



Non-Functional
Mavericks
CBU's 97, 105 et al and HOF settings

Or any essential systems missing that ruin the immersion.

etc

thank you

PS
Buggy partially functional systems
TGP

No working TWS
No working AG radar
Partially working lightening pod

They are the big ones I'm aware of.

Once those top two are working I'll get the Hornet (prob will be in 2035 though).

HARM is missing PB mode I think, Harpoon also missing mode I think, maybe Walleye too. Not sure if all JDAM modes are implemented?

If it is available in the open beta then I don't class all mentioned systems as implemented. Unless it's in the stable branch then it is not implemented

I'll run some tests on some of these systems later on. Kids are awake at the moment.

When they piss off to bed, I'll test and report report my findings.

From what you have currently posted, all seems spot on.
