@oakdesign said in Aircraft not removed from inventory after being shot down:

I’m not taking about FOW as we have a dedicated team to drive our up to 40 players MP events, and do a lot of the frag adjustments in MC. So if the available AC in the save file is 0 that should mean the SQN should be not operational anymore. Need to talk to the others in our fragteam but I think we tried multiple things to avoid this behavior

But this doesn’t seem to be the case here.

@VDK The 20 upside down is 02. I never knew I was dyslexic lol.

No, it’s not dyslexia, it’s…

Nah, don’t worry man, we are with family here, imagine that in RL in a readback to ground I said one of the squawk numbers at 8, ground said repeat again and my instructor pressed the PTT and said, the engineer is here, invented a new transponder, ground and my instructor was laughing and I didn’t know where to put my head.

greetings.

Hello Forum.

Albeit that there is a new Pleso Airport Diagram updated Jan 24th 2022, the previous frequencies from 4.36 remain in operation.

No doubt that will be amended with the next fix.

Bayonet.

@cougar56th
Thanks

@cougar56th Please do nothing it is such a minor thing. I was being facetious and not serious.

Sorry to say, but it looks as Aviano ATIS (VHF 141.500) uses the same frequency as the standard flight frequency of “Cajun 2”.

Wouldn’t have been a problem if I had flown along with human wingmen… but my AI’s were impossible to convince to change the flight channel.

Yes, I could have used the “switch flight victor” option, but I would have lost AWACS and tanker communication.
So, my tonight’s mission turned out to become the longest weather forcast show so far 😆

Cheers!

@Razor161 said in some glitches in Balkans Theater..:

As far as I recall the server aircraft was located at a different airbase.

Yes this is a known issue and being addressed. 😉

during the last flight, we’ve been diverted to Palese airport and the tacan annonced was 42X instead of 111X

@Mav-jp said in Start sequence order by tower:

i can garantee that KTO has the same issue of reshuffling the FLights .

I can absolutely confirm that this happens in KTO.

CHANGELOG-NEW- We had found an issue with some jets with the Hornet not being stable in 3D when the new Hornet avionics were engaged(see below). Also, some lacked cockpit mirrors. Both are fixed here.
-F-35A was found to be unstable in 3D, flight model was adjusted to fix this
CHANGELOG-General: BMS 4.37.3 started the process of bringing new avionics systems in selected jets, although they are not currently fully modeled. The OFM Theaters will default to these new systems.
However, if you put the following into BMS 4.37.3/User/Config/Falcon BMS User.cfg, with the values to zero, you can use the provious Viper-style avionics.
set g_bEnableWIPF18Avionics 0
set g_bEnableWIPF4Avionics 0
set g_bEnableWIPTornadoAvionics 0
Mirror fix for Hornet/Super Hornet
We got a request that there by an option to have or remove the AIM-120D .The Theater default is with them installed. So, if you don’t desire them, go to 4.37.3/data/Add-on Nevada/Docs/“120d switch on off” and install the desired files from the No folder. The files in the Yes folder will replace them if you so desire.

OTHER… Addition of refined AGM-158 and AGM-184 (“G” for ground attack and “S” for anti-ship)
Corrected skin on F-16-30 IAF( thanks to Sammy Skycraft)

F-35 B and C fuel capacities corrected to RL values
CATM-9 and -120 and AA11 and AA12 added. (Flankers and a few other Russia / China jets have Catm)
Rocket salvo change-(thanks to Bibleclinger). Rockets are now fired singly. Note:WIP to add more selectivity.

F18F updated for Auto throttle

NOTE ON 4.37 JAMMER MODELING In OFM Theaters. We wanted to give the option of either using the USAF or IDIAS jammer system, so the Hornet and 5G cockpit hotspots are in place.
In the Hornet 'pit on low/center MFD-OSB1=ECM-STBY
-OSB2=ECM-OPER
-OSB3-5= ECM XMIT1-3
-OSB 11-15- ECM MODE 5-1(left click on, right off)
In the Fifth Gen. ‘pit, again on the low/center MFD
OSB 1-5=ECM MODE 1-5(left click on, right off)
OSB 16-18-ECM XMIT 1-3
OSB 19= ECM STBY
OSB 20= ECM OPER.
The Tornado also has ECM Power,EMM XMIT MODE,and the 5 XMIT button hotspots.See BMSOFM Fighters’ Manual page 5.

We’ve been working on the pits with a couple of goals. First, simply get it to work even for people with austere HOTAS’s. Second, to give people the option of the USAF or IDIAS without a lot of hassle.
The pits , that will be in OFM 1.6 and onwards Theaters,have hotspots for all the buttons needed for both systems. Plus, If your HOTAS has a 4-way switch, you have another option…
The procedure is 1) Go to x/4.37/Data/your theater/Sim/acdata/ your jets folder. In the avionics section look for avionicsRWRType
avionicsRWRType 1 ( this is for the Viper model)
avionicsRWRType 3 will give you IDIAS
avionicsRWRType 5 will give you the USAF model with the RWR-on-HUD display
2a) USAF-map CMS up,down, left,and right as usual . Then, map SimXMit1 ,SimXMit2 ,and SimXMit3 as shifted commands under the CMS’s. This gives you full HOTAS capability once you have powered the jammer and pressed the SimEcmMode1-5( which are in all 3 cockpits)
2b) IDIAS-It’s the same procedure as above except you map ECM XMIT TOGGLE instead of CMS Down. You don’t need the 3 XMIT commands.
There are other ways to do this, but this method has been tested in 3D

@cougar56th yes, that much I figured. I got a bit excited 😉

The gardeners did an excellent job: they removed trees and bushes on the runway. Thank you !!!

My problem is this2023-10-30_172751.png 2023-10-30_172755.png

Fixed on the first post. If you do not want to re-install it, Ill put the textid information on a post.

Update to 4.37.3A.

@LorikEolmin
Thanks a lot, dear Lorik!

With best regards.

@Rakamora said in OFM-Balkans 1.8.1 fro BMS 4.37u2:

Hello, im also trying to grasp what OFM is. I’m kinda new to BMS hoped on since VR implementation. But does OFM include flyable aircraft other than the F16? If so do they work in VR?

First, thanks to Icer for the comment and the link, and thanks to Max Waldorf for setting up the Journal thread in it’s new home.
Hi, Rakamora. Welcome! The story of the OFM began when 4.35 came out. The BMS Devs gave us the Sim we love, and all these jets, but there are only so many hours in the day. So, when 4.35 came out the non-Viper jets could not be ramp started due to a change in the JFS call back. So, two of us got together (Thanks, FoxBMS!) and we fixed that.
It just grew from there. We realized that there is a community within the BMS Community that likes the Other Jets. So, over time, we worked , and continue to work, on the Hornet/Super Hornet family, the F-35,Tornado, Eurofighter and many others, to varying degrees. We also worked with the AIM-120D and various ground weapons .
It’s appropriate that we have this discussion here , as we also enjoy giving you the opportunity to enjoy “our” stuff in active Theaters , although you can fly the Viper in them as well. Some, like OFMKTO, our new MidEast128, and this OFM-B are homages to the BMS Devs , the Middle Eastern Theater developers, and the Balkans team. We also have a dedication to keeping old Theaters alive. From the that you get Nevada, etc., etc. As they are a separate database, we always let you know which is which. They will have OFM somewhere in their name.
Our goal is to let anyone with a working knowledge of Mission Commander the ability to put their jet of choice into the various campaigns. We also do the same with the Tactical Engagements and the Training missions. We converted the Trainers to a format where you can change them to include your jet(s).
So, are are invited to explore “Mafia World”. Our Discord link is https://discord.gg/WDFhckSnzv and the link to the Mafia Files(including releases) is https://www.mediafire.com/folder/fr34rj0apgr4j/BMS+Mafia+Files

Good Day, All. It came to our attention that while Aviano AB is in the database, it wasn’t available for tasking. To fix that…
https://www.mediafire.com/file_premium/uxolbxqz9ae8lrs/BalkansOFM_aviano_fix_put_in_cam_folder.rar/file

Download , unzip, and paste the contained files to 4.37/data/Add-On OFM-Balkans/campaign, replacing the files there. In Mission Commander , choose the save file that corresponds to your desired campaign. Save0 is Balance of Power through save5 Joint Guard. Add your desired squadron to Aviano. Don’t forget to choose NATO for the Team.
3)Do the applies and saves.
When you enter 2D, Aviano is now available for selection.

@cougar56th

Still have AF on hd, just checked, nope, only 3 camp start movies, everything else is stripped. (E1A, E1B, E5, E6, etc…)

@drtbkj
No problem for making old avi’s compatible with today mp4 (x264,x265) standard… eg, ffmpeg will do the job quite nicely.
Point is there are no movies 🙂
