F-16C Block 52 Viper V5.0 (3)

I started working on alternate loadouts on the Viper, along with redoing the GBU-38 JDAM model.

I also redid the BRU-57 smart bomb rack.

Unlike the old GBU-38 model, the new GBU-38 is longer than a standard Mk82 since I basically installed a tail kit onto the Boom 50. What you see is only 4 parts per JDAM since the grey fins on the back are actually the Inferno's fins.

The AN/AAQ-28 LITENING is also back and it still uses the old model.

I also spent a whole day going down a rabbit hole of deciding whether or not to make dumb bombs custom weapons or default and made a custom Mk84 as a test. I ended sticking with the default Boom 50 since I couldn't find accurate blueprints for the Mk80 series of bombs, but also because that would make the part counts skyrocket, considering some aircraft carry A LOT of Mk82's. But since I don't want that time to go to the waste, here's a complimentary Mk84 2000 lb LDGP.

I also decided to add auto trim for roll because screw auto roll. Plus, it helps when you drop munitions and are left with unequal weight on the wings.

And here's the part counts so far:

Clean
328 parts, 1367 performance cost
2x AIM-120C, 2x AIM-9M, 2x Mk84, 2x Drop Tank
416 parts, 1630 performance cost
4x AIM-120C, 2x AIM-9M, 2x Drop Tank
436 parts, 1657 performance cost
2x AIM-120C, 2x AIM-9M, 4x GBU-38, 2x Drop Tank, 1x AN/AAQ-28
462 parts, 1848 performance cost

All thats left is finishing up the other loadouts, redoing some old custom weapons (and their racks), and working on smaller details. I know for a fact I want to include the AGM-65, AGM-88, and GBU-12 since I want to do the same loadouts as before.
