Battalion can not cross sea if you don’t connect objectives link. But sometimes battalions still can not capture island even though there is link between two objectives.

So i made a test: if Painting the strait between Turkey mainland and Rhodes to Turkey side in the mission commander’s occupation map, that works. Battalions can cross the strait

if you don’t paint the strait to turkey or Greece, Battalions will not move even though you have connected the link between Rhodes and Turkey mainland.

Gyrfalcon VFW play HAF side to counter Turkish Marines Amphibious warfare.
Other players play TuAF to support Amphibious landing :

This is basic example using f-35.
It shows basically how to copy existing data from another theater.
Just first step in right direction.
To generate brand new data for brand new jet much research and testing and proper fm …etc.

If you use f35 as in this tut , it will work in campaign.
All correct xml is added in correct spot. Radar, fuel etc.

Same method can be used to copy other jets if they already have all pertinent data .
Or if you want a different f-16 (same block, different model like janhas)
If not… that is beyond my knowledge to create new fm and add correct numbers to falcon edit or xml from scratch.
I understand many areas in falcon edit and xml files.
But I wouldn’t start one from scratch just yet, that’s why it’s not part of tut.

Thanks for input on elephant tool. I don’t skin much but I use gimp too.
Only used elephant on ccc low poly toys.
All other skins I’ve gotten were already dds format.

Model CG should be at 0,0.

As Cloud 9 said, gear x,y,z should then be determined for aircraft at rest with WOW (compressed gear).

Can use the newer editor on older db?

VERY risky. I would never try this personally (no guaranty that DB will not be messed-up and fields correctly filled).

Never mind, I found the link after some digging. Here it is for anyone else that needs it http://www.mediafire.com/file/7nqwlgs8xi07b1v/LOD3DCONV.7z/file

All right .

I learned plenty of very useful things thoses days …

I took into account some objections/observations made by some pilots .
I have made a quite decent C-160, for a 1st try , although not totally finished yet . This learned me all that I needed to begin my helo 🙂 (yes , I’m quite stubborn ) .

But as many said to me (for example " In BMS, helicopter do not really fly… They are moved by game’s code, but do not really respond to any physics law. " which is totally true ) it wont be a very good retrofit .

Unless ……
The best solution is to create a Tilt-Rotor 🙂 !!!

My “helo” will be a V-22 Osprey !!! If i do that , the a/c will fly like a plane at high speed ; at lower speed , more like an helo . So my V-22 will be based on an Harrier !!

I’m pretty sure the result will be good enough , to fly , make some airlift/paradrop , and even some gunfight .

Here we go !!!

@lolo_salsal:

Well … So, How should I do ?

Host you pic somewhere else.

I am using imgur.

EDIT:

Is this pic viewable now ?

Yep.

Very cool idea, best of luck with it.:yo:

Thanks for your work dude 🙂

excellente 2end feedback !

Thank you for your help !

Hey there !

I’m not stopping anymore, two gentlemen (Tumbler and Batman) on the Discord reported 2 issues with the compiler

PLEASE UPDATE TO THE 2.1 VERSION

This version addresses those issues :

Better handling of corrupted .flt files (if BMS crash) and compile them with as little missing data as possible Handles ACMI without any “feature” (like a dogfight above the ocean) Adds color for warning and errors

As usual, you can download here :

Lastest release

Great ! Although I still have to correct some issues, I managed too to activate a fully operationnaL HP . The plane now recognize and activate whatever I put in it .

Great Thanks !!!

In case anybody is working on F15 cockpit/avionics or is simply curious about it, here is a good video with (unclassified) details being given by a retired F-15 pilot:

…as I said - there’s no way around tweeking things.

figured it out to some extent, in the ac dat files the range table multiplyer value is driving the DLZ line length

Have a look at this folder: \Falcon BMS 4.34\Docs

@Falcas:

Refuse is a big word 😉
If you think about it, you don’t even want me to write the manual as this is counter productive.
You want me doing more coding, less talking 😉
On top, reading how someone else is understanding the tool is extremely helpful to improve the tool itself.
At least one bug has been fixed again due to this manual.

IMHO an ultimate perfect tool does not need a manual as it should be obvious from the start.
If you need a manual stating a “start” button will start something… well are you really up to using a tool in that case?
However, MC is not ultimate perfect and the material is too complex.
As stated before, if you want to fully understand MC you first need to understand the whole database.
While you are learning MC, you also need to know what the BMS code is doing with this data.
All in all way too much to know or write a manual about. Most Devs don’t even know, including me. Learning new stuff all the time.

Honestly, the manual was/is a very good start. Lorik clearly stated the features which he did know about. So I could give him some explanation about those.
Yes some statements where incorrect or incomplete. But that is life.

I am a bit worried about starting myths. This because some though ones has been going around for many years. Funny thing is that some of them reappear again after they have been explained why they are not correct.
And never forget, BMS is not standing still. (and will never come to a stop) Things are changing a lot.

So if everybody can remain a little flexible and never take a manual as the full and complete truth, I do hope Lorik finds a way to continue.

Hi Falcas !

May i ask a question.

what does the flag “emitting” mean? if i let the object or unit emitting, it will not move?

Hey everyone,
Pretty new to the modding aspect of BMS so please try not to flame me too hard.
I am trying to install flight models for the Kuwait theater. Is the process the same as installing on the Korea map? Do I treat the Kuwait folder as the base folder and just work out of that? I feel like everytime I try to install it the model loads just fine but I am having issues with the skins being overlapped. Faces on wings etc. I find the instructions for the install easy on the Korea map but for some reason when it gets to these add-ons it just gets weird.

I am assuming this works in 4.34 as well still
