Thank you for your quick reply!!!

Then, in addition, how about AGM65B/D/G or AGM130? How many these AGMs can
be
loaded on a CFT?

Thanks in advance!!

Title says it all. I'm playing a flight sim, Falcon4. Recently a new
version was out. In the previous version, F15E can carry up to 8 JSOWs
(AGM154a), however in the new version it can carry only 2 JSOWs. Which

is
correct? It is a big problem to me as an F15E fan.

Thanks in advance.



5 JSOWs max, one each on the left wing pylon, left conformal (center
inboard pylon), centerline pylon, right conformal (center inboard
pylon), and right pylon.

Same thing with JDAMs or WCMDs; only those 5 stations are wired up
with the 1760 bus necessary to drop the things.

When any of these are carried on a CFT, nothing else can be carried on
the rest of that CFT's pylons, BTW, and you can mix types of smart
weapons (so can carry 2 JDAMs (my favorite, JSOWs are a pain to use),
2 WCMDs (smart CBU!), and one JSOW (pig with wings).

Of course, that's a pretty heavy load - better have a tanker to go
along with you...

And can these AGMs be loaded at the centerline pylon?
