    Document: BMS Training Manual Page: 41 Original sentence: “Switch your taxi light and the anti-collision light on and set the WING/FUS lights to FLASH. ” Corrected sentence: “Switch your taxi light and the anti-collision light on and set the WING/FUS lights to BRT. ”

    Just trying out this fantastic tool, one question which may have been discussed so apologies if so… I have a modified Campaign Mission (Korea) where I added a couple steerpoints, PPTs, etc. Dragged\dropped the mission ini on the map as directed. The PPTs and radar circles (and SAM labels!) show up perfectly but the modified SPs do not, it is showing the original mission SPs. Mission is saved, even kneeboards saved in WDP… Am I missing something?

    Ok, here we go. Releases: https://github.com/MC-Deedle/BMS-Tactical-Reference-Exporter/releases Tactical reference output from latest public release: https://github.com/MC-Deedle/BMS-Tactical-Reference-Exporter/tree/main/dist/output Repo for the software that generate this: https://github.com/MC-Deedle/BMS-Tactical-Reference-Exporter Dowloadable EXE if you would like to run this on whatever version of BMS you have: https://github.com/MC-Deedle/BMS-Tactical-Reference-Exporter/blob/main/dist/tacref-exporter.zip What the output looks like [image: Tacref-output.png] Thanks Claude.

    I understand your points, and it would be great if BMS built them in, but they don’t. @Noodle pointed to some help on BFM, there are many other sources out there (outside BMS) also. The Threat Guide gives you the basics on what do do against a threat, again YT videos by some great people can guide you - I personally avoid A-G strafing as it’s a great way to get whacked by a ManPad… but it’s the same premise as any other WWI/WWII/Korea/Jet age sim out there… Maybe some new videos from @fisgas !

    Hey SoBad. Just came across your document early this morning. I’ve been doing a lot of the setup steps you document in setting up my campaigns. Will enjoy picking up some new ideas, so thanks for putting it out. Duke

    it makes sense to add the " Brake Energy Limits" chart found in training manual to the TO 1F-16CM/AM-1 BMS.pdf…or a link to find to chart in appendix for example [image: ft01pNL.png] [image: 0vbGOw5.png]

    @Bacab using the Launcher you shouldn’t be forced to mess with any of those, like DeviceSorting.txt and such as Laincher will handle that even in environment with changing Devices, therefore Launcher generates all needed files on every start. You can still force the Launcher not to override by checking the no setup override checkbox. But agree that I might be made more prominent that you should either use Launcher and if you do not use any other method or mix

    Good catch. No, the right side is supposed to be 6-10. You can post a report in the documentation.bug thread! https://forum.falcon-bms.com/topic/28697/falcon-bms-4-37-6-documentation-bug-reports Ps: double check the filename, it seems you are mixing up TO_1F-16CMAM-1_BMS and TO_1F-16CM-34-1-1_BMS

    In addition, it is not entirely clear whether the R_MPRF is a hard setting upon which the AMRAAM will in any case switch over to MPRF (whether or not HPRF was active) or are there other conditions to be met and thus the R_MPRF is somewhat a latest or earliest point. Background of my addition: It is documented that the FCR does not know whether the AMRAAM is indeed already Pitbull/ Husky (no backwards DL). If however, the R_MPRF is a hard setting, then the FCR can be considered reasonably “good” in estimating the Pitbull point (due to having the same model available). Does the RCS setting truly affect the R_MRPF and thus the timing of the transition to Pitbull of the selected missile? Thanks stingray
  • DN Lock Release Button & ALT GEAR Handle : DATA missing & incomplete

    9.5 DN Lock Release Button & 9.6 ALT GEAR Handle there is no explanation for these 2 paragraphs for using them in Game … I need to read the dash1 from 4.35 version to understand how this is simulated BMS 4.35 Dash 1 Page: 32 & 36 1.2.2.1 ALT GEAR HANDLE This handle is used to extend the landing gear when normal extension is not possible (in case of hydraulic failure due to engine flameout or after a gear handle solenoid fail implemented in 4.35 for instance). Pulling the handle provides enough pneumatic pressure to open the gear doors and extend the nose landing gear. The main landing gear will drop quickly by airflow and gravity and locks in place thanks to actuator locks. The nose wheel is opening against the airflow and needs to be pushed against the airstream. Although alternate gear extension may be initiated up to 300Kts, the nose wheel may lock into position only under 190Kts due to the insufficient force required for higher airflow. Please note you can lower the gear with the alternate handle only once as the lost pneumatic pressure cannot be recharged in flight. The ALT GEAR RESET button (black button (normally white) in the centre of the handle) allows retraction of the landing gear after an alternate extension if hydraulic pressure system B is available. Mouse hotspot is a bit difficult on this one as both the handle and the reset button share the same hotspot but are differentiated with the left or right mouse click. Left click is the handle and right click is the reset push button. In the heat of the moment it is not intuitive to remember which is which unfortunately. 1.2.2.6 Gear panel The landing gear (LG) and its doors are operated by hydraulic system B. It has two main gears (MLG) and one nosewheel (NLG). The gear handle commands LG retraction or extension. In real aircraft the handle is locked in the up position to prevent inadvertent lowering of the gear. To lower the gear the pilot has to depress the white pushbutton located on the landing gear handle. This would not be practical to implement but BMS consider that the permission button is always depressed when lowering the handle. A red warning light in the top of the handle (lollipop) illuminates when the LG and doors are in transit or have failed to lock in position. The light also comes on below 10000 feet when all LG are not down and locked, airspeed is less than 190 knots and rate of descent is greater than 250 feet per minute or when there is mismatch in the landing configuration. The DN LOCK REL button, which is implemented in 4.35 is a mechanical bypass of the landing gear handle solenoid. The solenoid prevents the handle to be moved inadvertently but may fail. The mechanical bypass is then used to move the handle. Please note, these two actions do not have to happen simultaneously. A Sim delay was introduced to allow the pilot to perform both actions subsequently rather than simultaneously for obvious mouse and keystroke issues the real pilots (or cockpit builders) don’t have to take into account. On the ground, once WOW is activated, the landing gear cannot be retracted unless this safety button is depressed. In the air, this button allows lowering the handle in case of a solenoid failure.

    Chaps, Just a quick question - given that 4.37.6 will be the final release before 4.38 will the updated and edited Git docs be up loaded into the 4.37.6 docs folder as PDF’s when it is released? Ironman

    @jagfour said in Jammer XMIT selection: @Master-Yoda Yeah I have seen that. Can you imagine fumbling about down there with a Mig on your tail. I have been made aware of this new ECR by a yt vid that shows you what all the buttons do. I have thought that there should be 2 new lights, triangular in shape, either side of the jammer light. The left light on for XMIT 1. Both lights on for XMIT 2 and both lights flashing for XMIT 3. if the MIG is close on your tail i doubt ECM will save you anyhow
