From the BMS Dash 34 re: SNIPER:

“2.6.1.3.1 GAIN AND LEVEL CONTROL
Gain and level control allows you to adjust the gain and level of the picture. For now real gain and level values have no effect on the picture. Level values may change by using OSBs 16 and 17 when in MGC (Manual Gain Control) mode, but will have no effect on the video image. Gain control may be switched between MGC and AGC via OSB 18.”

In theory, one could assign these callbacks to the switch on an ICP, but I have no idea how “realistic” that would be.

Yes, Level and Gain should affect the picture but BMS currently disregards that, as stated.

I haven’t tried it, but I think it does some of the same advanced stuff.

@brddog006 Alright, Thank You.

@dimtom It has not been updated for a long time now. You can use the East Med. It includes the Aegean Sea and much more.

@Aragorn said in which AI is best for reading BMS manuals?:

As yet, there has been absolutely no response.

Or, was there? … Just didn’t noticed yet.

@airtex2019 So it IS hfov+? If so, that’s great… it seems that the OTHER popular flying game kinda fumbles it, at least for the one aircraft I care about over there.

Thanks for the reply!

@DennyITA said in The F16 blocks:

Thanks but regarding the models, avionics, ordnance, missiles, etc., I considered the dash34 table (page 592). I would like to know the substantial difference of the engines of the blocks, F100PW200, F100PW220, F100PW229, F110GE100 and F110GE129.

To better understand we must consider the mass-production series in the US inventory; basically after block 25 the US DoD decided to endorse the two big homeland engine manufacturers: General Electric and Pratt & Withney, using both engines for the block 30’s. To recognize the versions, they started to use different block nr; -30 equipped with GE engine, -32 with P&W. And this suffix going on up to block 50/52 (included plus versions); block 60’s, 70’s and V’s are made for export only so far, and fit the GE engine only. The differences between GE and P&W, and different versions are so many and articulated that could result tediously to explain here. Useless to say that it’s easy to find the history of various versions online.
For what regarding BMS, I strongly suggest to read the HFFM Manual that you can find in Docs folder. It’s an exhaustive book that explain the difference between engines and how they has been modelled onto the simulator.

@Mav-jp 👍

I had a similar situation recently, but this was due to the MPO being “on”. I ended up rebinding EVERYTHING, and even opened up my X-56 throttle to see if there was something loose.

In fact, it was a little more nuanced than that: I had the MPO bound to the"slider" on the throttle (basically an on/off switch) - if I loaded the game with this in the on position, I think it was always registered as on! Anyway, it’s not bound to that anymore.

@Killroy said in SA Bar:

Perhaps one solution could be that the red blinking frame is deactivated if gear is down and com1 in ch 3 or 4 or alternate landing ch ?
Or it start blinking the if speed less than 155 when gear down and com1 in 3 or 4 or alternate?

I kinda like that idea – stall speed for landing configuration as a threshold. As you say, gear down would be a good predicate for that…and short of something rather unconventional, wouldn’t come up while dogfighting and using padlock/off-axis views.

@SemlerPDX
Ok I’ve sorted it out.
I’ve checked on the code 0x8889000A, turned out to be « Sound device occupied by other apps and unable to associate with the new one. » So I just unselected Speaker (my buttkicker from green 3.55mm) from A2 in VoiceMeeter and problem solved, I can now select speaker from the drop down list without any problem. Which make me wonder that I don’t even need VoiceMeeter if I only use buttkicker with Simshaker.

But still, some strange behaviors. Dedicated 3.55mm green port selected in Simshaker now, everything quiet down, I don’t know where to adjust the volume now but the previously tuned down gain slider have to be reset to normal 50% again, to feel a normal strength shake. Even resetting A2 to speaker and using Voicemeeter output as source is not like the previous violent very loud shaking. I’ll have more testing to see why all this is happening.

Also after testing I think to have a bit of other sound bass blended in the shaker is not totally a bad thing though, it dampens a lot of harsh shake and less predictive if you only port simshaker to the buttkicker. I feel landing shake in BMS better with voicemeeter output than simshaker alone. I’m also wondering, if you port simshaker to buttkicker directly, wouldn’t all your EQ setting in Voicemeeter not used by buttkicker since the signal is no longer going through voicemeeter?

Another strange thing is that even with voicemeeter output going to simkicker in Aerofly FS4, with no dedicated device selected, I hear no clipping from the TV, but not so in falcon bms. Lots of clipping noise from the simkicker is going to the main output as well. Only after selecting dedicated device can it not blend in into my main sound output.

@Hornet Maybe Falcon BMS 4.40 would be more appropriate - would reduce the 4.3x confusion, IMO.

@megadeath Hi, As Quasi wrote, you can control as he stated. It’s easy , with the now-standard Launcher to change to key commands to your desired Z and X . If you set PROG 1( if only because BMS spawns in PROG 1) for 3 chaff , PROG 6 for 3 flares, and do a “mix” PROG 5, you’d have z,x,and s right there.
Another option is Voice Attack or similar program. I used to not have the Slap button on my HOTAS, and made a VA voice command

I just downloaded this. I can see I’ll be using it a lot!

@gundam Hi All.

I found a solution working on Art directory on the specific Campaign path. 🙂

Gundam

@Suriken that would be it. Under the editor it would be squadron stores, then select the airframe, then edit the aircraft hardpoint and save.

@jacqueslees Once again a great post sir. Appreciate the Tim Morgan video. And congrats to him. I am now full time retired from a career at American Airlines and a twelve year stretch flying corporate out KLAS. I have so many type ratings that one would think that I couldn’t hold a job.
Best to you.

Hi All,

Does anyone could address me to read something in order to understand how this sections works? In particular it is interesting the Replacement and Reinforcement section. I found the 0 value but it’s possible to put other value.

I would like to understand the meaning of this parameters.

Thanks in advance,

Gundam

It sounds like CPU bound in your case not the GPU as you are on ground with a few f15 on ground. More draw calls…

You get similar or more fps when in the air right?
