@Quasi_Stellar I’m willing to bet it’s Mean Sea Level, especially if it’s above the local transition altitude. In the KTO, it’s 14,000 ft., in the United States it’s 18,000 feet. While climbing out, when passing these altitudes, the altimeter should be set to 2992, the standard mean sea level pressure.

RE: Best joystick for BMS?
@dandove Out of the several sticks I’ve had, I like my WH system the most, so far. I’d like to get the chance to get the F-16 geared TQS, which looks better than the WH’s.

HUD directional readout
In every iteration of BMS that I’ve flown, the digital compass readout in the HUD has gone 358 . . . 359 . . . 000 . . . 001, etc .
I think it should be 358 . . . 359 . . . 360 . . . 001.
Consider this - the runways at Gunsan (Kunsan) are 36 and 18, not 00 and 18.

RE: nav : ETA different on HUD & on DED
It seems to me that the DED shows the planned TOS, whereas the HUD shows and updated time based on the actual GS.

RE: U1 update will not run
@Quasi_Stellar said in U1 update will not run:
@huffer2 extract the .exe somewhere. Then run the .exe, and when prompted, point at your setup folder and go from there
This is what I did, and had no problems installing the update.

RE: A-G Mode -unable
@windnc60 said in A-G Mode -unable:
I would assume the Missile and Dogfight overrides are the culprit here. As I tried it this morning i brought it out of “override” and the RT MFD switched to A-G mode when I pressed the A-G button on the ICP. Go Figure, Many thanks to all.
That sounds reasonable. That’s why they’re called ‘override’ functions. I think it’s in the User Manual when crafting a TE that you set up your A-G parameters once airborne, then engage Missile Override until you reach the target IP.

RE: Balkans Theater for Falcon BMS 4.36
You didn’t waste any time Cougar.
I downloaded it via torrent, and all seemed to work well.
Personally, I couldn’t help myself this time 'round. The first online fighter wing I joined (the long gone 388th VFW) used the Balkans Theater for its training fights, even after it switched from AF to BMS. -
RE: engine overheat
<blockquote>>Two thoughts, -Are you pitching up too high and your tail is striking the ground? The optimal touch down AOA >for the F-16 is 13°<br />I would venture to say that it’s a possibility, but after touchdown when utilizing aerobraking. I’ve never had an engine overheat problem during or immediately after landing, even with 4.34. When aerobraking, I keep the gun cross at 13 degrees.</blockquote><p>>-Is your AIR SOURCE knob is set to NORM?<br />The air source setting is for avionics cooling, it has nothing to do with the engine.</p>

RE: 4.3.5 zip
I noticed that when I downloaded the update. I tried to post the same thing about it weeks ago, using this new site, but it never showed up.

RE: Breathing mask sound very low. How to restore higher audio level in-cockpit?
One would think that the sounds would not be noticeable unless the mike was hot.
I wore my helmet and mask on several tanker flights (just for the heck of it) and the noise was hardly noticeable.
