@Micro_440th said in BMS-Training - Ramp Start block 52 vs block 16:

Thanks for reporting. Page 11 fixed. Page 10 not possible for now

This change “FAIL” instead of " FLCS RLY" should be changed in “Main Checklist.pdf, page 2”, too.

Is this a code change from 4.35 to 4.36?

@AlehandroGTI said in Electronic Flight Bag:

hello, how can the flight info section be more self-compiled based on the mission you are carrying out?

I use it in conjunction with WDP which does exactly what you describe.
So in the end I have the kneeboard pages created by WDP and the EFB from @EuKeule on my tablet. That works just fine.

@Amadeus75 That’s true. EGI <> HMCS . (only via onboard MMC/INS interface)
However, EGI alignment can be done anytime (maybe not type full) … just not in Falcon since we don’t have “REAL” GPS - that’s why IN FLT ALGN exist , and it kinda works in BMS/Falcon ever since … think precision is lower

@Micro_440th No prob. Not arguable , just seemed more “logical” the other way - and I was talking about HMCS (not EGI)
…currently HMCS can only aligned in NAV mastermode … which seemed too ‘restrictive?’

Live long and prosper ✌

@Micro_440th

Hello Micro, by “full set” I mean the new versions of all the airports and their charts. I understand, however, that this area will always be a WIP.

Yes, the docs were available through Lulu previously. But, I think that was an arrangement between their authors (Red Dog and others) and Lulu.
The Lulu bound books were very nice.

Currently, however, you’re correct, the local print shop is the only option.

Keep up the good work.

Regards,

Bayonet.

Got it!

Yes, all charts will be replaced completly in the future at some point with the new layout introduced with 4.36.

Cheers
Micro

Hi all,
just wanted to share 2 lines of code to create nice little (and robust) booklets I use to read the manual or training missions. It’s for linux, for windows there is probably something similar around…

The following 2 lines will as an example create a small booklet for the new JTAC training part (great work by the way!). The BMS training manual is called “Training.pdf” in my case

pdftk Training.pdf cat 236-259 output Trng_236_259.pdf pdfbook2 --paper=a4paper Trng_236_259.pdf

You can then print the output file “Trng_236_259-book.pdf” as two-sided (long-edge) landscape as A4. No resorting, no fiddling, just bend them once and connect them via a stapler. Enjoy reading in the bus, making notes, … [yes, I know I’m oldschool, but printed still works better for me :)]

There is a button for the landing and taxi light, however, the switch itself does nothing.

One other thing about the F-18, how do you turn on the MFD’s and HUD while starting the F-18?

Thanks for any input. The new sim is fabulous to say the least.

Thanks

Raven

@pyhg
thank you so much ☺

@Micro_440th - I’m going to take your suggestion and run with it.

Check out the ‘Documentation’ group shortly…

@Kolbe-49th Thank you sir! That is perfect.

@cougar56th said in Avionics Panel (MIDS):

@BlackGio
No the GPS switch is a real switch. There are two types of new Avionics panels on the real jet. avionics.png

The one on the left is kind of what we have modeled in BMS for the American blocks. The only difference is that you see INS in the picture but in BMS it says EGI. The reason for that is because we kind of model EGI. EGI is Embedded GPS/INS; whereas INS is just INS. You have to turn the GPS on seperately. With the speed the EGI and INS aligns in BMS, BMS is modelling kind of a hybird of EGI and INS.

The panel on the right is what the new panel should look like, but as I said in a previous post, there is no way to make the GPS turn on when the EGI knob is moved.

If someone is able to model this, then I will gladly change the panel to the one on the right like it should be. Just need someone to model when the EGI knob is set to NAV, it also turns on the GPS coordinate system.

The only work around I saw was to add the GPS switch like the panel on the left.

Make sense?

Ok got it. Two Real panel types. Btw mine is missing CAL position too… can live with it for now (should be not implemented till now) and I can follow your suggestion and map the MIDS knob for GPS, for now.
Thank you for clarification!

Hi,
How can I get the excel with the popup planner?
Yes, I can do all the calculations in WDP but I need the excel which we used to use before there was WDP.

@white_fang Haha. Dude, when F4.0 came out, we saved all of our stuff in the 20,000 page printed BOOK, printed cards and charts that came in the box…!!

And - on the DVD we got with the glorious Art of the Kill.

Ah… the good ole’ days.

@CriticalMass Thanks!!

Glad to hear that you found a solution. Now for many fun filled hours of reading!

Wiki is the “W” on the top bar…

@SOBO-87

Now why did I never think of that, although, I always loved the printed manuals.

<p>@SemlerPDX thank you for that sir! Haven’t seen that video for many many years.</p>

For the keystrokes: the disicion is easy, add keystrokes in the US key layout and give us a guide how to add to our keyboard a us layout througth windows…
when you install windows, after choosinglanguage and layout it asks “do you want to add a second layout”? the second,third etc layout is changed through a key on the taskbar. My native language is greek-and mylayout is greek- BUT I always add the second layout as english US -that’s how i’m writing these lines to you now…I believe that the majority of windows installation have already an english layout choosen as second to be able to write english and communicate with foreigners… I thibk english US is the most common.SO
add keystrokes in the english us layout and give us a small guide how to enable it in windows setings…
My opinion…in the same idea-why is the documenation in english?there are so many lamguages! if this question was valid you should;n;t have write any documentation at all bcause In what languagee to write them???
