Thanks, @CriticalMass.

@oakdesign I actually did a fresh re-install of 4.37 (due to other issues) and this is the current Docs folder structure:

It seems 4.35 is where the individual .pdfs are.

Thank you both for your help.

@AviationPlus It works! THANKS A LOT !!!

@Ironman53rd said in Creating and Running a Campaign: One User's Guide:

@tiag

Just out of interest what are the parameters for resupply of munitions/pilots/air frames for a squad NOT controlled by HQ?

Ironman

I would say the same as for HQ controlled ones.
There are different factors. First, it depends on the overall resupply capacities of the war production of a campaign/theater (factories, refineries, …).
Then it depends on how many of those installations are destroyed or damaged (thats why buildings have a value from very low to very high).
If your squadron has suffered heavy losses it gets resupplied more by the campaign engine in the next cycle. If you have small losses and other squadrons are more in need, the campaign engine may decide to send you less or no resupplies.
The value told in the squadron menu window cannot be trusted. You may get resupplies earlier or later (depending on your need). Same applies to weapons and fuel (i.e. if your side has only few airframes left, they should all get enough fuel, thats the cause you almost cannot lower the rates of supply and fuel for the enemy while he looses more and more units).
It is a highly dynamic supply system.

@Wheelchock
Thanks!

@SemlerPDX @Wheelchock Thank you very much !!

Those converters do not manage more complex page layouts well at all unfortunately. (Or if someone has found a way, tell us!)

@Anakin051177 +1. It may also depend on what Country your Viper is assigned to - I don’t recall that the USAF ever used the -9P - or not to a very great extent, forex.

@Zeus said in Cockpit panel drawings:

@Korbi - Thanks…will reach out to him.

@Badger - thanks, that might be what I’m looking for.

I’m just curious, the 3D pit has to get that content from somewhere. If there was a way to tap into that I could probably do the rest. Maybe I just need to comb through the DDS files more.

This will get me started though.

Thanks all.

As I said, check DDS 8015

Rocketbook and similar erasable notebooks work great for me for this.

They really work and are erasable as long as you don’t press the pen too hard. You can even draw the documents “permanent” lines and writings with a non-gel pen, so they stay there and won’t get erased by accident and then use the gel pens for the mission-specific details that change from mission to mission.

Very nice work! Thanks for providing the source Excel file too!

@Scorpion82 said in Do we have any RL Technical Writers here with S1000D experience?:

@Micro_440th

Do you have the S1000D spec?

Yes, 5.0

@Micro_440th

*Raises Hand I volunteer as tribute.

First, Micro_440th and team has done an outstanding job with the mountain of info that needs to be compiled without using the former author’s work. Second, like all things Falcon, a continually changing work of art, it will proceed and get better as time moves forward.

I agree with @Batman here with regards to content of the manuals. Manuals should be for the current version of the sim. If something is being talked about behind the scenes for near future release (2-3 weeks 🙂 ) then N/I could be added and items included because it is on the dev timeline somewhere.
“As real as it gets” as it gets are the key words on what we currently have simulated.

If it is RL jet info that is not pertinent to the sim, then put a link or reference and add it to an addendum or appendix for train travel reading.

As always – suggestions. Take it, leave it, change it, only one man’s opinion. I have been a consumer of this product and originals since 1987, I will gladly give back where I am able.

I look forward to the future with optimism.

Thanks to all the BMS Team members and community.

Bugler

Where can I find the EULA document for Falcon BMS?

@Dust1964 I am Canadian, but no, my French is not that good 😂

As per our agreed-upon workflow, the Dev team is not responsible for document translation. Additionally, their source files are confidential and cannot be shared for this project.

Just a note from my side.

It is not an argument that how was modeled in the past ANYTHING if it was wrong and essentially it lacked a real foundation compared to RL. So far the ARHs were totally overmodeled. Now, they are not and they won’t be.

Maybe most ppl. have short memory but for a long, long, long time many IR missiles were also OP in every F4.0 version, they were essentially immune to flares. Now, IR missiles are ANYTHING but immune to flares, just think about old R-73 and AIM-9M and what we have now. Now, even the AIM-9X can be defeated.

This was in the past, AIM-9M.
Now try the same in BMS 4.37. Even the AIM-9X can be defeated, many times only some flares is enough if target is VERY lucky. (For gameplay perspective this is one of the best change what ever happened in the history of F4)

@Micro_440th I was thinking about that right after I hit send from a document production level (which I did professionally for a short time😬). It has to be easier for a small volunteer team to work in that style format. Also if it’s all hyperlnked there are a lot of things you can do like modern RL docs. But one other big thing I’d hate to lose is the current document size chunk Ctrl+F search that I honestly use a lot outside of VR. Webpages could make that that harder, even with Google, etc. So output to PDF I think is still great for the end users.
