@Eagle-Eye:

Not entirely sure how the fog works, so this will need confirmation from someone else.

To my knowledge, it’s the distance in feet at which fog starts and ends. The closer together both values are, the denser the fog will be. So Sunny 8,000-200,000 would give you a fog layer that is 192,000 feet wide, which is practically imperceptible.
If you want to have dense fog at 1.5NM (1NM = ~6000ft), you would set the lower value around 9,000 and upper value not above 15,000.

About the weather types, it’s pretty much as you say. I think it’s as follows:
Sunny: clear skies, except maybe some stratus
Fair: A few cumulus clouds here and there, but generally good weather
Poor: More cumulus clouds, possibly an overcast but no or light precipitation
Inclement: Definite overcast, with normal or heavy precipitation

I get it, what about when the weather is due to change so now i have it as probabilistic with change every min interval 1800 sec and max 3600…if the weather is sunny (clear when at night) could the weather change to any of the 4 states instantly? so it could go from sunny to inclement? i’d imagine it does as it i have it set at 25% for each weather state (at the moment, but think i might change it).

@l3crusader:

You can also fire it in AA Master Mode if you select it manually (in the SMS page, OSB-1 IIRC) or if you are in Dogfight Master Mode, where you have both gun and short range missile symbology.

Ahhh Thanks!

@Frederf:

http://www.waywordradio.org/hit-the-pickle-button/ Discussion begins about 38:50.

As far as I know the real airplane simply checks the weapon release switch state for consent with odd behavior when holding it too long like in BMS. That said there’s little value in holding the pickle button that long before release. It’s a bad habit from a safety perspective like leaving master arm on flying over Washington D.C…

So that is to excuse the bug? C’mon… its just a bug. There is a workaround, so nothing critical. But it is a bad habit of quite some folks here to excuse plain and simple bugs with some real life behaviour the bugs may come close to. 😉

… and you know that! 😉

Weird. In my campaign, those red squadrons disappeared. But in Falcas MC, they still appear to be active and their bases are still the ones under Blue’s control.

I wouldn’t believe too much “public medias” in general. Sometimes they even do not understand what they are saying or publishing. :roll: All those stuff are very technical and quite often depends on the “point of view” … but … remember … this is not the place to be discussed. 😉

@peanuthead:

Hello,

Any help with these questions would be greatly appreciated!

TWS Radar Mode

In TWS radar mode, do we have to wait until the missile goes autonomous or “Pitbull” before firing the next AIM-120 or can you just TMS right and keep firing all 6 slammers?

Threat Warning System

When you see a threat on the RWR, does it mean that we have been soft locked or just that a radar beam is pointed at you? In other words, do I automatically assume the enemy knows where I am when I see that RWR light up?

If RWR does not gauge distance, how do you know what mode to search in? For example, you detect a Mig 29 behind you and make a 180 turn to put your nose on the target. How do we know whether to search in “Missile Override Mode” or “DogFight Mode” if you have no idea how far it is?

Thank you!

You can ripple fire up to 6 slammers as fast as you can manipulate the TMS and pickle switches of your HOTAS while your plane’s radar is in TWS mode (and HMCS). If you are fast enough, you can have 6 slammers in the air assigned to six different targets before the first one fired has hit its target. How many of the slammers will actually hit their assigned target will depend on type, speed, range, aspect, etc. to the bandits (100% hits occurs quite often if all or most shots are within F-pole range). Sidenote, you can also ripple fire the slammers while in BORE mode and you shoot them (preferably WVR) via the HUD “mad dog” at six different targets.

Bandit (or friendly) symbol(s) will appear in the RWR display for all modes of bogey’s radar while its emitting. Just watch (and listen) for the changes to the symbol to reflect the different radar modes. More dope on RWR found here:

Important clarification, the first appearance of a chirping ‘M’ symbol in the RWR means the seeker head of an ARH missile fired at your plane has gone active (i.e. “pitbull”), and is not necessarily when the missile was launched at your plane.

@Amraam:

I can give you some easily.

Me too.

Downloading now. Guess Ill keep going with the cards at the moment, seeing as I plan to do more than just level release. Will have to keep an eye out for updates!

@Migbuster:

Had to look how long I had been following PAK-FA/T-50 progress……since March 2010 since the first flight.

The 9th prototype is possibly due next year?

So far only about 1000 flight hour. The program is very, very far from original scheudle. Final engine still has not installed into a single airframe, no new AAM, radar is not completed, etc.
PAK-FA is similar such an imaginary YF-22 what would have AIM-7M, AN/APG-70 and F100-PW-220 even even with this config fly so few…
PAK-FA is just as hyped (withot any real base) as F-35A/C are underrated…

Thx, WL, will check it out. BTW, that CSC.net site is excellent, thx for the tip!

@drtbkj:

…. My purely subjective feeling is that the 50/52 is a bit “peppier”

The MCH seems to disagree with regard to the 52 ….

@MCH:

…. Reference the previous discussion on airspeed at TC entry and power modulation. If you see greater than 500 (not likely with a PW motor) pull power to min AB, or fan the boards, you will slow down during your initial turn. Less than 500, leave power set in full AB. ….

😉

@Shadow:

Nobody mentioned the Manuel ?

How strange.

Well just for form …… RTFM it’s in the BMS.key file :rolleyes:

The DPRK Strong campaigns evolve with lots of reinforcements. The drop down will show aircraft from squadrons not yet in theater but part of future reinforcements. The B-2 are usually in Japan also. Once the carrier shows up positioned stupidly close to NK I have to constantly change their barcap/patrol areas to protect the carrier from regular attacks as the cruiser escorts don’t fire anything. I frag flights by looking at the current ATO tasked for each squadron (usually the only only bar per the sliders I set) and if minimal flights are already tasked I can frag a mission even 20 minutes to start. Frag missions an hour or two ahead and insure you have enough time allotted for reasonable flight time or you can get error messages. Often you will find whole squadrons sitting out the war and here you can frag flights at will. The campaigns with some experience actually make sense and normally work well if I invest the time to micromanage it including changing all loadouts. Red ground and air units constantly resupply and unless you destroy every member of the unit it will respawn including sam units. I fight the campaigns to win while trying to avoid losses and shut down the red air operations.

@Eagle-Eye:

(I don’t think you can actually destroy SAM sites in BMS?)

Correct.

Followed by a porno, w**k, pot noodle and then bed.

@donw43:

So why don’t you share it here. . Maybe… just maybe… somebody else could use the answer

you where right somebody else found it useful. 😄

cheers for the share

@molnibalage:

Are we speaking RL? Because F-111Fs did this mor than 15 years. They released 4/AC in El Dorado Canyon and during ODS pair release was totally typical from F-111 and Tornado (with buddy lasing) either.

We are talking about dropping in pair from a signle ship on a signle target. AIs can’t perform buddy lase anyway so the questrion in BMS is a bit pointless.

@cns180784:

In the Tiger spirit campaign, the DPRK have no su30s but when China declares war they have su30s from what i can see up at Shenyang AB and Man’Po AB…think they have some more at AB’s to the north east too.

Are you also talking about the Strong DPRK theater?

@Red:

you mean in real or in BMS Frederf?

ETA is displayed when TOS is mode selected
ETE is displayed when TOS is not mode selected

in all BMS master mode

You’re totally right. I was thinking it switched but it only changes to TTRelease in AG/CCRP. ETA/ETE is whether CRUS-TOS is selected or not.
