Eagle Dynamics has just pushed through an update for the Open Beta version today and they have a little surprise for everyone. Something that they didn't include in their log. That's the addition of the AIM-120B's to the Hornet. We've known for a while that they are going to add the AIM-120C but that won't be for at least another week or so. To tide us over they have included the 120B. Now you can only equiq 4 120B's on the Hornet at the moment. From what we've seen from ED we will be able to include 10 AIM-120C's when everything is said and done. For now, 4 120B's and 2 AIM-7's will do.
The updates don't come without a cost, unfortunately. After this current update we are not able to fly the Mig-21bis or the SA342. Unfortunately Magnitude and Polychops did not submit the needed dll's on-time so it's going to be awhile before we will be able to fly them again. Hopefully ED won't push this update out to the stable version before those dll's are in.

There's quite a lot but the download was quick for me. And that's coming from someone using PLDT's standard service so it shouldn't take too long for anyone else.
Until we can fly the Fishbed or Gazelle again...
have fun firing those 120B's off the Hornet.
