My reason for suggesting so many civil aircraft, by the way, is simply to add greater realism (and greater "noise") to scenarios. Different airliners fly at different speeds, have different ranges, etc., and putting various bits of air traffic into scenarios is one way of making the…

Fokker 100https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fokker_100 "The Fokker 100 is a medium size twin-turbofan airliner from Fokker.

Just downloaded the newest version of the HUD-4... AIM-7E missiles are still not working AGM-65 Maverick D and G are still not working...AGM-65B Mavericks DO work, but it looks like this is only true if one can turn on radar (so they aren't working for A-10s...and the reason seems to be that the target is not "illuminated"). More later...the issue may at least partly be connected to how IR/laser sensors work (on the D and G Mavericks--as I recall, these created some problems with the Hellfire) and the way EO (TV) sensors work.
