You might have a duplicate or incorrect callback assigned to your device. Maybe it is also rotating the EGI knob when you think it is changing the HSI modes.

@drtbkj said in Questions about bullseye IRL:

True, Stevie. But if I’m understanding @williang83 correctly, he’s asking about you arbitrarily changing BP, and getting AWACS to listen.

…it’s not really a case of “getting AWACS to listen” as it is a matter of AWACS having been briefed - which they will have been. There is also operational protocol as to when AWACS (and elements within the flight) will stop referencing BE and switch to using BRA.

And to further complicate things, there may also be briefed ground reference points - usually in regard to CAS operations - which may also be considered “BEs” of their own…which I’d think AWACS would know (or care) nothing about, but the inbound Section or Division would utilize wrt troops in contact.

If this all sounds complex, yeah…it is.

@greenman said in is there a f-35?:

@drtbkj Thanks where can i find instructions on how to download and use the upgrades, hotfixes? and are the upgrades or hotfixes Falcon BMS upgrades or OFM upgrades?

Hi, If you look here https://forum.falcon-bms.com/topic/19270/bms-other-fighters-mafia-bmsofm-journal/929 , that and the next couple of posts describe the procedure.
Basically…

If you don’t already have it, download the OFM Theater. Note OFM Theaters only for these Updates and Hotfixes to work. You can tell which is which , as we put OFM in the name for that very reason. You simply download and run the Installer. Do not be concerned if you get a malware warning The recently released OFM-Afghanistan (version 2.4.2) has all the new stuff. If, however you want/have an older OFM Theater you will need the Universal Updater 2.4. and then the 2.4.1 Hotfix.
These are not Installers. You just unzip and replace files. Both the UniUp and the Hotfix contain README’s with instruction and changelog

Hi 🤗 everyone 🤠
I need some help with offline network 🛜
I have three 😍 lovely brothers 😀
Recently I bought three PCs for them and installed falcon bms 4.37 to each pc and it works fine
I need connect PCs together for them to make :
First pc for pilot
Second pc for pilot
And last pc for GCI (f4radar)

Any help or any suggestions how to build that thing 🙏😔

Thanks .😊

@molnibalage Thanks you for the amazing videos. I guess it’s time to download SAM Simulator again. 😉

@Icarus which I will totally buy to 1) try it out, 2) keep 'em happy, and 3) support the idea that leaving BMS/F4.0 is beneficial to all

Awesomeness i start to watch the video and i see new terrain that is way better than dcs terrain
with one word Awesomeness !!

@Radium said in ZSU+AGM88:

@molnibalage I have big doubts also. Maybe AIM-9X has some IR mode that allows you launch your missile on a TGP designated target or something… It’s technically possible but what I say here is purely speculative !

In fact about ~10 years ago it was considered to make az AIM-9X also an AG weapon. You can reprogram to recognize any kind of IR image / shape.

But the issue is the cost. A ~1-2M UDS missile which at best can kill az AP/IFV would be way too expensive while a JDAM is in 25-50k range, an AGM-114 is ~ 100k and even an SDB II is just a faction of the cost compared to the AIM-9X.

I got to “escort” one of these on a det once…a LONG time ago…

@Xeno said in News from the frontlines... 4.37 U4:

@buraktunahan
I cannot say for u4 but I-Hawk stated many times about 4.38 perf, that GPU -wise RTX 2060 Super/RTX 3060/ RX 5700XT class of performance gonna be kinda reasonable base for 1080p play.
I haven’t seen any info on CPUs, but I assume 10-11gen intel cpus or Ryzen 5000 series should be good enough for at least non-VR.

Uh-oh. I’m running a potato with a 1060 and an i7-7700. Which runs U3 perfectly fine in 4k for the most part. Occasionally it has some smaller issues on the ground, but I only really notice it when I’m trying to hit a cockpit button with the mouse.

@tiag said in Batallion status:

@JetNoise

Give please some thought on the following.
Other day after a MP mission in one large squadron well known in our community I also heard that, “frustrating”. These guys flew a mission and took out (AFAIR) a SA-11 or part of it. These guys landed after a 1-2 hours of action and suddenly that battery was back online.
Not real. Agree. It should take many, many hours, perhaps days or even weeks to get such a battery fully back online.
However, these guys have already fragged another large package for few hours later. MC was used and they put new airframes (since they lost about 1/4 of the F-16s).
Can you see the incongruence here? We, as players, want to fly as often and soon after a mission as possible (fair enough, its a game). But the F4 engine is not allowed to resupply/refuel/replace the units (may happen 1-2 per hour).
I am totally in favor of using real resupply rates, but then we should use real sorties rates, otherwise we are shooting ducks on a barrel.
Take a read here to understand what would mean in practice real sortie rates:

@tiag
I do see your point of creating several sorties to re-attack certain targets, but ( and this is my OCD talking) 😊 I just see that as being redundant. And Yes, re-attacking targets to ensure they are not effective is a part of standard battle doctrine.

Plus I generally do not see a battalion regenerate as quickly as @JetNoise describes. If I attack an armored or mech battalion it will remain at a lower strength percentage, although I tend to create missions with a full force of A-10s, AH-64s and other aircraft just to be thorough.

Rest in peace the RAM 22 awesome work

@Incognito-Mode said in AIM-120D on the Viper for KTO?:

@drtbkj possibly when the missile was going mach 10 and doing a 180 to hit the target after it passed it once, did a 180, and passed it again.

I’ve not seen that. I have sometimes wondered if the missile is too “persistent” in certain regimes. So, any tacview or whatever you can provide is most welcome. However, the top speed of the missile is a known issue. We had to do that to get the range.
These type of things are exactly the kind of compromise discussed earlier. That is why we are always open to collaboration. If you can make it better, just watch how fast we adopt it.

@A-laughing-747
There is a cycle callback. Not near my PC right now but look at the docs.

@Dreyfus
Oh! Thanks for clarifying!
