Does anyone know what "Missile Ptr" means from the database editor?

For example, the AIM-120B and AIM-120C missiles have identical data in the database, except for the “Missile Ptr” field.

Does it mean missile penetration?

I know there have been many discussions about the differences between the B and C models of the AMRAAM, but according to the database, they’re virtually identical.

No, they are not And no, it does not mean missile penetration. Ptr means pointer. It is the index of what MissData file they will be using.

The file to use is elaborated from that index and the msltypes.lst file in the Data/Sim/MissData folder.

BTW, you just have to load both and check that the DLZ is not identical between the two to realize that they are not identical

Rgr, I figured there’s some difference. Guess I have to dig deeper.
