Re: JAS 39 Gripen Where can I find the nordic theatre for bms 4.33 (gripen and f-22 cockpit)? I

@Gadfly said in Tornado cockpit mod for 4.36:

UPDATED to v1.1. Please see download link in first post.

@Seifer Yes, absolutely! Please use this latest version.

Thanks a huge lot for your constant attention to the details, dear mates.

With best regards.

Yes via pm

Not sure regarding the rack system, i don’t have a 4.33 version installed any more.

Cheers

<p>@Aragorn check the chat Ara’ <br /></p>

<p>@Chuckles <br /><br />Thank you very much. :)</p>

<p>@Radium Ok, I’ll check it out. Thank you!:)</p>

@airtex2019 Fully updated and it doesnt work on clean install Windows 10 either. I think it is because I have old video card with old drivers. Confirm on both.

@darkgable in a campaign, click on the various airbases to see what aircraft and blocks are available.

Turns out you don’t need to render via the x264 codec. H264 can be read by BMS.

That makes perfect sense.

Wondering if there is some confusion here between those two?

For clarification:

H.264 is the standard that defines how video streams should be encoded. As part of this encoding, it defines among other things, how the video should be compressed, how color planes should be represented etc. A video stream correctly encoded in the H.264 format should be playable by all players that support the H.264 format.

x264 is an encoder that produces H.264 compatible video-stream. x264 is a very high quality encoder and produces remarkable quality in bitstreams. It is almost exclusively used by all the open source video platforms out there (such as ffmpeg, gstreamer, handbrake etc.)

I meant encoder rather than codec. BMS implements x264 while you can use standard h264 video format when rendering out from Vegas / Premiere.

Close enough, no worries… 🤠 x264 it is an open source utility developed by VLC for encoding video streams in the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC compression format. BMS makes use of the H.264 codec for campaign videos, but does not implement x264 encoder as it does not encode campaign videos but merely plays them.

I totally get what you mean, tho 😉

Hi,

I am checking Export/import from MC feature. And i see some potential problem that i would investigate.

Is there any tool/reader for XUN files? The ones MC make after Unit Export features?

Thanks.

@ena said in Tutorial: Creating and Adding Squadron Patches to your Install:

I’ve reached a conclusion about the addition and application of the squadron patch I’ve been investigating before, so I’ll post it.

You can probably add an infinite number of patch images to Patches.rsc.

However, the patch image that can be actually displayed by BMS is up to 512. This is because the IDs that can be registered in imageids.id are from 70001 to 70512. In fact, all the images added to Patches.rsc are displayed and can be selected on the MC squadron patch selection screen, but not all on the BMS screen.

Depending on the theater developer, it may be necessary to remove unnecessary patches from the 256 patches provided by KTO.

thank you.

@EnA
Good to know. Thanks for sharing that information. Have you done any work on pilot pictures, and if so, have you found a similar maximum number of pilot pictures that can be identified in \pilots\images.id?

Sorry for the confusion, apparently I was able to solve the issue by copying over the named DLL above from a working install of “weapon delivery planner”.

All the best,

Uwe

PS: thanks for the idea, oak!

This is a good idea.

@wingedsky
Thanks for the suggestion.
Awesome, great work and very appreciate your effort.
Very helpful!

Oh gotcha! 😊 , oh well, just hope Demo shows up with a new link, thanks anyway.👍

@hoover and all,
I tried both methods last night (assigning a tanker and a strike flight as a package x 3, and keeping the strike flight together as a package and using geographical seperation for the tanker tracks package) and Hoover was definitely correct.

Using the geographical seperation method, all three tankers were available to both the AI flights and my human flight, though I still could not “assign” a particular tanker to a particular strike flight for refuel even though I had set up the flight plans to have each strike flight go to a different tanker track.
In fact, I was lining up my human flight on the tanker it had been “assigned” (by virtue of me plotting its flight path for refuel to that particular tanker’s track), but another AI flight got there first and “snaked” my tanker! No problem though. I just changed frequencies and got vectors to a different tanker from AWACS and used that one. All in all the timing still worked out for all 3 strike flights (2 AI and one human). I gave it 45 minutes for all flights (3 x 4-ships, 2 AI, one human) to conduct refueling, but could have been easily done in 30 minutes.

Key to all of this working is for the players to know and understand the tanker frequencies and TACAN channels, preprogram the frequencies in the DTC into empty slots (to make it easier to switch freqs) using AWACS for assistance in locating open tankers, and most of all, developing good situational awareness (SA) of who is where in the scenario. That is part of what makes Large Force Exercises (LFEs) such “fun” 🙂

Thanks Hoover for the good recommendations.

@borba I would find it great to see the Super Tucano flying in the colors of various air forces around the world for CAS and light attack, of course it’s not flyable, but participating in the AI scenario would be an excellent implementation.

@I-Hawk:

Uffff sorry I see that this is a hardcoded sound 😞

In order to remove or change it we will need to add a variable…

Oh okay, thanks for researching.

BMS is still allowing a wide variety of things to modify. It’s a great sim to try tweaking.

Thank you So much LS, for full detailed information and help.

Sorry that you spent time on this but

CanLevelTurn = 0x1, => not working - active only in Merge Mode which only runs a few frames so this is useless (i might think about debugging this 😉 ) CanSlice = 0x2, => not working active only in Merge Mode which only runs a few frames so this is useless (i might think about debugging this 😉 ) CanUseVertical = 0x4, => not working active only in Merge Mode which only runs a few frames so this is useless (i might think about debugging this 😉 ) CanOneCircle = 0x10, => not used at all, CanTwoCircle = 0x20, => not used at all,

as i said : most of those are relics of the past that
