Take a look at this thread:

You can see some bomb dropping and flare release in FSX. Maybe it won't never be as complete as a dedicated combat sim, but can be fun anyway.

Voodoo:
There has also been a freeware addon for FSX around for some months now, called WEAPONS_PACK.ZIP which is available for download from AVSIM. I think it's partly based around the work of the very same David Brice at Iris.

I've tried it out with the Acceleration Pack F18 and it works ok (although obviously there's no targetting reticles in the HUD). Best to turn off "aircraft collisions" to avoid a weapons release being detected as an object collision. It's quite fun, explosions and all, if you're into that aspect of FSX.

Here is an extract of what the authors have to say about it:

"Welcome to the weapons pack for FSX!
Created and modified by Chris Sykes!

This weapons pack is divided into two sections, the US weapons pack and the British Pack, overall the packs are designed to be a basic but fun add on to FSX, enabling you to drop bombs and shoot missiles! Yes I did say shoot missiles! The US weapons pack has an extensive collection of weapons created in FSDS, a staggering 68 individual weapons with different variants too! A big thank you and most of the credits goes to Kotaro Akikawa, who uploaded his FSDS model source weapons pack at simviation.com. The British weapons pack is a collection of weapons, generously given from David Brice, made in GMAX and uses an attached effect!"

I didn't know about it, thank you for that.

VooDoo,Crim3;
I tried to install the weapons pack as per the read me file
  1) effects file into main effects folder
  2) US and British weapons into Sim objects
  3) and inserted [DroppableObjects.0]
                        ObjectSet.0=Mk82_1, 20
  at the very end of the saved flight's notepad in "\My Documents\Flight Simulator X Files"
  all I get is the icon at the top right of the screen that says I have 20 MK 82's ready to drop
but nothing hapens when I hit the "shift D" except the sim pauses for a fraction of a second
then continues as if nothing was initiated.
Any ideas ???
Thanks in advance for any and all comments
Randy
