Targeting pod (target range indication, SP/CZ/TGT indications, azimuth indication angle indication [waterline with line], GRAY indication, north arrow, M mask indication).
If AIM-9 and AIM-120 are loaded, selected aft on the dogfight switch should select AIM-9 and pressing forward should select AIM-120
Emergency jettison button
Ability to create and modify steerpoints form the UFC
Steerpoints must auto-sequence when option selected from STPTY DED page

Lock indication on the RWR is missing. It should be a circle. At missile launch, then the circle should flash.

When a contact is locked while in NAV mode, changing to AA mode should not remove the lock.
Only a long press aft on the DMS switch should turn the HMCS on and off. Currently, up, right, and left also have this function.
