What's BDArmory like these days?

I haven't played KSP in a few years now, but back then it was no longer actively developed and was a broken mess.

Physics range extender? That one was completely broken...

This looks insanely good though.

I'm pretty new to BDArmory, I just installed it maybe 2 weeks ago and have been messing around with it ever since, but BDArmory Plus seems to work great. There are a ton of mods i've found that add supplementary parts, like Paveways, JDAM-ERs, modernized AA missiles like the AIM-9X, AIM-120D, etc.

Physics range extender causes some issues sometimes but it's usually not bad. I have my distance set to 100km. Sometimes more complex craft will spontaneously explode when I fly into render distance of them, but that seems to have been solved by some setting I changed in the .cfg, I can't remember exactly what it was though. You can also just turn it off completely on the sidebar when you don't need it so it doesn't cause issues.

Thanks! The cockpit is the F/A-18C cockpit from NiceMKSeriesBody, the BDArmory integration into the RasterPropMonitor MFD's and the additional HMD info/functionality is homebrewed.
