THIS is a Wasp (F/A18C Hornet) armed with 2x AIM-7s and 2x AIM-9s.
If you see your AIM-9 that you fired explode(not even hitting its target) don't worry! it will still track as long as it doesn't crash into the ground! (or the sea)
The AIM-9 doesn't perform very well for some reason.
The AIM-7 Mike excels at High Physics and BVR (beyond visual range)
The AIM-9 Mike excels at whatever Physics and WVR (within visual range)
The missiles function "realistically" why? because it has limited fuel time and will still track.
! DONT DEACTIVATE AG8 OTHERWISE THE MISSILES MAY EXPLODE AND BLOW UP YOUR PLANE WHEN FIRED!

AIM-9M Sidewinder

AIM-7M Sparrow

If you're wondering where (or who) did I learn this from, it's from vidzforlyf.
I'll link his realistic missile here: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/4mc5Wy/realistic-missile-with-plug-and-play-function
The plane is from Jundroo's Wasp
Sorry for the magnet's loud noise. The magnet is required for the missiles to function properly.
Feel free to modify the missiles and upload it.
