Fellas...
Here's the second post with the CAPT SIM Delta Hornet AIRCRAFT.CFG file changes and FA-18.AIR .ZIP file.
Changes in BOLD, so you can copy/paste the entire selection, or just manually edit "by hand" each of the values.
NOTES are denoted by //, please read, but DO NOT include in the data.
For the CS Delta Hornets, in the AIRCRAFT.CFG, edit these lines:
[WEIGHT_AND_BALANCE]
max_gross_weight = 56000.0 // (pounds), default fsx = 56000.0
empty_weight = 23832.0 // (pounds), default fsx = 24500.0
//NOTE: Just the empty weight needs to be changed. The other entries in WEIGHTS and BALANCE should be left alone.
station_load.0 = 300, -16.0, 0, 0.0 // Weight(lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet)
station_name.0 = "Pilot"
station_load.1 = 300, -20.0, 0, 0.0 // Weight(lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet)
station_name.1 = "WSO"
station_load.2=190.0, -34.0, 19.0, 3.0, AIM9X
station_load.3=250.0, -33.0, 12.0, -1.0, AIM120B
station_load.4=250.0, -33.0, 7.5, -1.0, AIM120B
station_load.5=250.0, -33.0, 4.0, -1.0, AIM120B
station_load.6=250.0, -33.0, -4.0, -1.0, AIM120B
station_load.7=250.0, -33.0, -7.5, -1.0, AIM120B

//NOTE: WSO weight and distance are now accounted for, as well as new AIM-120B weights.
