Can you confirm which callbacks have been added that aren’t in 4.32, and which you’d definitely need on stick or keyboard?

Thank you, sir.

Greeting

I agree, been away from sims for a while, the new version is stunning. Thanks to everyone involved.

Hey Fearless, just followed your step by step instructions above and here, sitting in my file on my hard drive is the BMS 4.33 startup icon… WOW. You made this way to easy. I think I have just expanded my universe by a factor of 10 or something. You are the man tonight my friend!!! Thanks again to all who responded, Falcon pilots are the Best of the Best…

N e time bay be!

64 bit works just fine with MFDE. I use client/server mode and extract MFDs and multiple gauges to my second computer. Works better than with 4.32 as the HUD flashing video bit from 4.32 has been completely removed in the 4.33 version.

Thanks for your reply Mower, I think
I’m trying to have my cake and eat it too really… As it’s been explained to me, due to the hard coding of the sim the devs have had to use f-16 avionics and functions and adapt them the best they could
For the hornet. So this is just me being selfish and lazy after being familiar with the f16 cockpit, wondering if I could use it for the time being, so I could learn carrier ops etc.

Hey Red Baron welcome to BMS

Phatcat213, welcome to BMS and I sent you a PM, i will help you run this great sim in no time……:p

@Blu3wolf:

Kunsan was the exception to the rule

I do not believe the Kunsan is a special exception to something. Perhaps the airbases that host aircraft equipped with suce special devices (FLIR, TGP-Mavericks) in need of boresight calibration on the ground prion to take off, they have migrated their infrastructure (EOR & leak check points, tarmark marking etc) to assist crews performing these tasks.

For example, you can see LGSA airport tarmark here that is used by HAF 340sq for such purposes, as and LGBL here for the 347sq. These sq’s both use LANTIRN/FLIR/TGP/Mavericks.

So, even if BMS code was updated to allow proper ground boresights, the Kunsan ground infrastructure should be “altered” by human-crews to assist on these tasks (look to the internal of the base on the EOR).

@pandacat:

Is the MFD down in the middle functional? I thought BMS can only model 2 MFDs.

No, it’s not a proper MFD.

Although there is some work done for a 3rd and 4th MFD they are not fully functional ATM.

I believe this works for certain F16 block pits but not all. Thus, are there other CT references required for LOD update to host the two dds files to add the pilot legs?

It appears to have been tweaked. If ground units are close to each other, you will get multiple kills.

No idea what I did but the issue is solved now

Training Manual and the Training TEs, that’s what they were designed for.

They’ll take you step-by-step through the basics, all the way through to employing weapons.

It’s like having your own personal Red Dog. 😉

Very warm? Where’s the sun when u need him…

The 4.33 manual on page 9-117 shows the first and second keypress for 3D pit pan views like this:

Notice where the views are cut off at the bottom. The first keypress allows access up to the first row of the keypad. The second keypress allows access to the MFD lower OSB buttons.

Now here’s what happens to me:

I don’t get the first row of the keypad nor the MFD lower OSB buttons. It is really frustrating to have to re-adjust the screen with the mouse whenever I switch back to 3D cockpit. Is there a BMS Falcon adjustment that I can make to fix this?

Edit: I thought I almost found a solution yesterday when I posted the topic “Guideview.txt” but nobody responded.

Edit 2: I fixed the problem with the cutoffs by changing from the default FOV of 60° to 70°. Now, c’mon guys, how about some help with guideview.txt and customview?

Man those Su-29s!..…don’t try to out turn them!

@robmypro:

I have read that all flyable aircraft in Falcon pretty much share the same flight model and avionics as the F-16. Not sure how accurate that is, but I was wondering if it would be possible to one day take the BMS efforts and fork the code to create a new study sim for say an F-15? This way anything hard coded for the F-16 (flight characteristics, avionics, etc.) could be tweaked to fit the F-15.

Of course, the logical next step would be…and make it so people running the F-16 version can join multiplayer with people running the F-15 version.

I wouldn’t even ask if this has been thought about, but I am so amazed by what the BMS team have accomplished that I think you guys can literally do anything.

The issue with avionics for other Aircraft isn’t related only to pure technical limitations, but also to available information and documentation. TBH I doubt if there is any other bird worth chasing due to that reason.

Thanks Red Dog and Icarus. I actually did find much of the info I was looking but it had been so long since I had been in the sim that I was neglecting to click “ramp” which was why I was always starting on the runway. Thanks again for helping me dig a little deeper.
