hitting a driving tank with an mk82 or 84 might be hard.
Also in reality the lack of precision would result in a wasted bomb i guess.
Instead, with a cbu you get a higher probability of kill, and perhaps not only one, but multiple kills per bomb.

But I thought CBUs aren’t allowed anymore?

Keep in mind that I’m working on a Mac, with the OS X version of FAF…so BMS MMV as far as transition time is concerned, but I’ve got it working in such a way that I no longer get my hook cycling as I’m braking during rollout because I’ve left my switch parked in CLOSE…or brake with the speed brakes in transit, really. Man, was that annoying…and it took me a bit to figure out it was the hook…I can still make it happen if I violate my own cadence though.

I really, REALLY wish I could get ControllerMate in a PC version…I’d ditch every other controller utility I’ve come across. Very easy to use, and very powerful…I’ve also used it to set up proportional braking by setting the Brake key rate proportional to my pedal toe throw - so it acts pretty similar to how anti-lock pulsing, I guess.

@pandacat:

1. I thought SA4 Krug is a long range, mid to high alt missile, but in game it feels like a short range, low alt, point defense weapon. I encountered it several times when attacking airfields. They don’t attack until you are almost right on top on it and their rocket motors burn out fast, indicating a short range missile.

@Dee-Jay:

1 - SA4 are very weak and low efficiency systems against fighters.

That is one part of it, the other part is that the SA-4 FM is kinda FUBAR. SA-5 is pretty poor too, BTW.

@Bab, here’s more or less how it should look

There are plenty of technique errors in this video but it at least shows the line up, looking over at wingman halted (really just a very very very slow roll) in the normal 2-ship 4-second interval takeoff AI procedure.

Once you “trigger” AI takeoff he will go for broke so don’t trigger him except for your own AB style takeoff. Maybe you are going too far down the runway, too fast, or lineup on wrong side.

The MIL climb schedule is exactly the same as the CRUS HOME profile assuming the home point is far enough away that it doesn’t tell you to descend. If you want to see what it looks like, highlight the CRUS HOME option on the DED for a distant home point and follow the caret to best cruise or whatever tactical level below that. MIL climb is a “best specific fuel range climb” designed to best convert JP8 into distance and altitude. If fuel is tight then this is the best option. If you have to add energy that’s MAX AB climb which to my simplification is just pitch for Mach 0.9 to maximize Ps (energy add rate). Tactically your fuel use, being on schedule, self protection, checking in requirements may have you do something totally different. There are no medals awarded for being shot down while doing best endurance speed in a hold.

There are not many Falcon 3.0 pilots, realizing there is a bug in Falcon Gold CD. The MP F-18 Hornet model is missing. MP models are different geometry compared to SP models. When the game was updated (since 3.01 i think), ACs got transparent canopies and markings. But MP models remain the same since the begining…they are stored elsewhere.
So due to the BUG, human driven bug (hornet) is invisible in MP (Falcon Gold CD install). That is why I say - the best Falcon 3.0 (+ datadiscs) version is the FLOPPY version, updated to 3.05. I have it, and everything is OK (no invisible planes).

@Shadow:

I want to know what time is beerOclock and how do I set it earlier ?

Beer O’ Clock is one hour after Coffee O’ Clock.

You set it earlier by getting up earlier….Thought you knew that, it’s in your personal Configuration file!!! Carry On…lol

Looks like an extended version of the original video.

I have the Mac version of FAF running under OS X on a 2007 iMac, and 2011 and 2012 Mac Minis; all running in 64 bit mode. The Minis are also quad core i7 equipped. I also have BMS running under Win 7 64 bit on each Mini, but it runs best on the 2011 Mini possibly because it has discrete Radeon graphics - no stuttering there, as opposed to the 2012 one with Intel graphics; simply not enough graphic memory onboard. I also boot directly into Windows - I don’t use Parallels or such…I have a feeling that also prevents a few issues.

I think the Mini is a very nice platform for hosting BMS in the Mac universe - you can move it around, and configure it as dual boot with twin drives. I have Win 7 on an SSD in the 2012 Mini, which I bought mainly to get USB 3, but as I’ve mentioned the graphic configuration didn’t quite work out. I run Win 7 from a 7200 rpm HD in a Bootcamp partition on the 2011 Mini and frankly, I don’t note any performance hit between the two when it comes to running BMS - could again be the graphics issue showing. I’ve recently discovered I can get Thunderbolt to USB 3 adapters, and the only reason I wanted USB 3 is because I’m building a pit and am using USB 3 to VGA adapters to drive my MFDs. I’ve also read of issues trying to use USB 2 controllers over USB 3, so it would seem that a 2011 i7 Mini is actually the best choice. Plus I like that I can fit it inside my pit if I choose…as portable as a laptop, but with a few additional options - like being able to hook it to your flat screen TV, which is also what I do.

If you have a newer iMac it’s certainly a nice candidate for a Bootcamp partition and Win 7 install - just be careful as to which version of OS X you are running; as I understand things, the very latest machines and version of Bootcamp will no longer support Win 7, and you may have to install Win 8 or 10.

Ahh. Thanks for that. I might scrap those buttons and assign them to something else. Could do with a better mrm/dogfight/cancel set up.

@USMCprwarr:

Try not to think so much about where the tanker is, but just fly to where you need to be and trust the boom to do its job.

Yep, just fly formation with the tanker in the correct position and let the boom operator do his thing.

@drtbkj:

Have fun!

Thanks.

Thanks I’ll give that a shot

Check out my Ranges in my sig, sir.

@Jaxx:

Hi,

Pardon me if this has been asked before, but im looking for a repository of TEs that can be used for single player practice.

Thanks. Pretty sure it’s stock Korean. It’s from the 185th VFS training and I’m sure I read there were no other Theatres to be installed.
Cheers!

Edit: This was the correct folder :\Falcon BMS 4.32\Data\Campaign\SAVE

I have helped several folks get up to speed on the Falcon Online Coop servers. Shoot me a PM here.
