The #691, #2201, #4858, #3821, and #4875 F-22's all erroneously have the "Bombsight-Basic" property instead of the "Bombsight-Advanced Navigation (INS/GPS)" property. Such a bombsight is required to deploy the GBU-39 SDB's or JDAMs (of which rely on GPS/INS guidance) that are listed as weapons on the aircraft.

That was a mistake in the original post which I corrected shortly after submission, I was trying to save that other quote for my post tomorrow as not all of the SU-30 variants have the fly by wire property (since you decided to point that out those variants would be the #4817 JD-15 and the #4632 JD-16)

Well, I tracked it down. The change was made and implemented in DB3K_480. Somehow it disappeared in 481/482. There were some last minute changes in the 481 release and it may have dropped out. Anyway The F-22 bombsight has been changed again for the next DB release.

Good observation.

Now that you mention it, could you also check the French F-8E, aircraft #924? In DB3K v478 it had the correct loadout, the R.530 SARH missile. In DB3K 481a, it has the AIM-9C SARH missile, which France never bought (in fact, the APQ-104 radar the French F-8 had was a modified standard F-8 radar adapted to guide the R.530). Maybe it has to do with the introduction of the hypothetical French F-8E with AIM-9C missiles, introduced this version?

Hello again

I'm playing around with making a scenario around the Finnish coast of the Baltic sea and setting up the radar network for the coast stations also used for weather observations.
The problem is however that the major part of the extremely rocky coastal archipelago is coded as below sea level. This is mostly fine, as it makes AI path finding slightly easier, but if possible I'd like to have at least the following islands set to above sea, since they contain lighthouses with important radar stations.

#USAF's FY21 BR refers to both AGM-158B(Extended Range) & AGM-158D(Extreme Range) as JASSM-ER. AGM-158D was called JASSM-D & before that JASSM-XR (for "extreme range"). For AGM-158D, the "ER" therefore likey = "extreme range," but, as with AGM-158B, could also = "extended range."

The #USAF's FY21 RDT&E data is now available. It seems that, like the AGM-158B, the AGM-158D will also be called JASSM "Extended Range."

Also, the AGM-158D will recieve a new data-link for post-launch re-targeting. This is a very important new capability.

In September 2018, Lockheed Martin was awarded a contract to develop an "Extreme Range" variant of the AGM-158. The weapon would weigh about 5,000 lb (2,300 kg) and deliver a 2,000 lb (910 kg) warhead out to a range of 1,000 nmi (1,900 km; 1,200 mi); it is planned to be ready by 2023.
