Yes, I’ve been doing that. I see them getting me after the fact but do not see them coming in the simulation. I spend about as much time reviewing what happened as i do in flight:D

More correctly, Ps is “Specific Excess Power”. If you have excess power at a given flight condition, you can “power through” that condition - like being able to zoom through an advertized ceiling or perform excursions from balanced flight with less penalty.

I thought this affects also time (also in single player),
but I could be wrong though, as I’ve never tried myself. 😉

Ok thank you

@ShepT:

Hey Demo, kind of been waiting for you to post that screenshot. i would really appreciate it. Thx.

Sorry, forgot. I will do soon.

@Cloud:

Flight Model.

THanks C9!

@jhook:

:rofl:

No offense, but that is funny. FM (Flight Model) is the primary code/calculations that mainly determine how the jet behaves in sim and it’s general flight characteristics. Hope this helps.

No offense taken 'hook. :mrgreen: & yes, I know what flight model means. Being in the military I deal with all kinds of abbreviations & acronyms, and without placing them in proper context becomes a bit confusing.

Sooo after fixing it with advanced recovery and restore to vanilla, it lasted about a day b4 going back to the same fault. Now fixed again this time by logging on as admin deleting corupt user profile. loging in as user and voila it is fixed!

The Nav and Timing Training mission in FAF was another good one for me in the beginning. I had a tendency to balloon my turns, dropping down and flying that one at low-level between the cloud deck and the ground went a long way to not only helping me learn to keep my turns level but also to broaden my HUD scan and check up my G’s during my TAC turns. Just altering the objective of a number of the Training missions can make them instructive in all sorts of ways not spelled out by the mission title, IMO.

@Arty:

Yes. The one and only

Thats where you can confuse people as there is the BMS -34 manual too, as well as other manuals and documentation like the ones in the operational manuals folder. For example for me to find out what some words meant when in comms with other flights i was told to refer to the operational brevity words manual in the operational manuals folder.

BTW the part in my original post above where it has EDIT, i discovered the red dogs manual was the Dash-1 after i did a google search for it, so best just to refer to what the manuals’ actual names are in the docs folders to avoid confusion for newbies.

@bullwinkle:

Not quite sure what you are talking about there MailMan….

Exactly what version did you download? There is a new version that does not work correctly with 4.32. If it includes a change log, it will give you specifics. Otherwise, that’s all I can tell you. Try an older version. There is a thread about it on this forum somewhere. I don’t have time to search for it sorry.

Got it working great now. Bad install I guess. Thanks so much. I think I may still have SP4 but so far I having fun with BMS. Falcon 4.0 was a great gift back in 1998!

Just a few feet closer……MK-82.

@pandacat:

I can manuver kill mig 23 for breakfast. Even with bomb loads on. 😄

try to down it with aim-120, they zoom away like the space shuttle

does anyone know where i can find the viperwest/east demo skin?

Looks like the Hornet has finally arrived!

:headb:

Heed DJ’s advice…… 😉

Cough,cough…I mean that in a nice way Deej 🙂

Some hints:
#1 Make sure you load out enough fuel on the AC for the intended flight (Not all AC in the Data Base have the correct Sim Data associated to them…try any flight with the F5 for example)
#2 Make sure that your Steer Points are correctly aligned, as well as your altitude profile, we burn more fuel @ sea level then say 10K feet…… 😉
#3 Make sure that you only lock TOS\TOT if you have to lock any at all…code should already do it if you have set it up correctly.
#4 Avoid long “Legs” if you can, if not add a Refuel steer point and put a tanker on station nearby 😉
#5 Don’t try and “Cheat” the OpFor with a radical Flight Plan that cannot be executed by the AI…(Well,hell go ahead and then watch them “Dance” in the sky)…LOL!!!

Have fun,
demer

Thx for the headsup Eagle Eye

Welcome back mate and of course have a quick recovery!
Take care yourself and then it will be easy to enjoy again this nice simulator.

@Migbuster:

Anyone tried VoiceAttack with BMS…havent got round to it yet ?

http://www.voiceattack.com/

I’ve been using Voice Attack and VAC and prefer VAC to be honest.

I’m not saying I don’t “fear” the Slammer, it is still a good weapon. I’ve just learned a little bit more about it and how to defeat it so even when fired upon, I’m not panicking straight away.

As for joining a group, yeah, some groups close their recruitment from time to time but there are a few groups out there that hold “open” flight sessions so you can probably join those to get a feel of the group and how they fly.

IMHO, flying this sim lone-wolf style is doing yourself a disservice.
