I'm hoping someone can help me with a small problem that I have. I'm trying to improve a flight simulator by having the correct weapon loadouts for the Tornado GR4.
I appreciate that some of the questions might be confidential.
This is what I've got at the moment:
540lb slick and parachute retarded bombs x 8 on Fuselage
1000lb slick and parachute retarded bombs x 8 on Fuselage
Cluster Bombs BL755 / RBL755 x 4 on Fuselage (Prob 8 Max- (Not sure if still in inventory coz of Ottawa Treaty )
The RBL755 is a modified version of the BL755 developed after the Gulf war to provide for medium-altitude operation. This variant of the BL755 has been used by NATO in Operation Allied Force in Yugoslavia. It can be dropped from altitudes above 10,000 ft.

Paveway III LGB x 2 on Forward Fuselage.

Enhanced Paveway II & III No's as PII and PIII

ALARM's x 9 max (see pics below for verification)(would probably have 7 Max and use fuel tanks or 5 and have fuel and sidewinders)
Tornado IDS model requires an extra outside rack on each fuel pylon.

1 x 27mm Mauser Rounds x ?
Gr1 has 2 x 27mm
TIALD Pod - Where is it located ?
JP233 (Out of Service - When ?)
Sea Eagle (Out of Service - When ?)
Do GR4's carry 2000lb bombs ?
Do the Paveways have Spam equivalents i.e. GBU-16 for Paveway II etc
Is a Paveway II 540lb, 1000lb or 2000lb ?
Is a Paveway III 540lb, 1000lb or 2000lb ?
Will the Paveway IV be just 540lb ?
What sizes does the Enhanced paveway come in ?
Will the GR4 get ASRAAM ?
Is a 540lb bomb also called a Mk82 ?
Is a 1000lb bomb also called a Mk83 ?
Is a 2000lb bomb also called a Mk84 ?
Dodgy question: Does the GR4 radar have a limited Air to Air capability for it's Aim-9's ?
Can the Radar only be in either A-G or A-A at the same time ?
Anything else that you think will be of benefit will be greatly appreciated.
If any of you chaps know a Harrier pilot called Flt Moon, tell him Gaz from 1301 says hello and that he owes me a flight.
Cheers for your time.
Crab Paste !!!
