Well, I’m a idiot.

I’ve got that engine info on. Guess I’ve just blocked it from my mind.

There are two possible options …. both toggle options:

1.) PrettyFilm -1 0 0XFFFFFFFF 0 0 0 1 “SIM: Pretty Filming (Hide Overlays)” … Set a key for this and it will hide ALL overlays. Radio messages, chat-text … everything, and,

2.) OTWToggleEngineDisplay -1 0 0XFFFFFFFF 0 0 0 1 “SIM: Engine Display Toggle” … as noted earlier, set a key for this and it should toggle only the engine display.

Both of those lines are in the key file (but may not exist in ALL key files). They are in the BMS FULL keyfile for sure. The “0XFFFFFFFF” means no key assigned … which is how I have them set in my keyfile, which is where I plucked these lines from.

Yea used the BMS basic config file, and tried a few more I found , even tried to create one with editor. Ended up just programming keys with the CH program. I really don’t understand how direct x controls work, have to look at,it when I get a chance.

20% off with LULU20 code till Dec 25.

^ but probably it’s better to wait.

If I had, probably so! I had no clue one had been made however, so I figured I’d use this thread to ask about it as it was relevant to the topic, and I’m not into the habit of searching up each word of my posts (I probably should to satisfiy those who have time to read all the threads posted). I’m sorry of course, I never meant to discus anything on this discussion board. Won’t happen again (maybe).

Hi Guys

Thanks for replying. I’ll get on it right away.

Therefore, to address Sunnny’s original question, and according to Dee Jay and Ahmed’s comment, should the manual read as:

It is called the glide slope and is represented in the cockpit by a horizontal bar in the HUD and the ADI

as that sentence refers to the instrument and not the trajectory?

I liked this Book :

and also the F4AF Manual

Buhh they are not European anymore… [emoji38]

All those years the Grexit axe was over our heads and suddenly stepped down to B.
Go figure.

Thanks Chasseur! I’ll give them a try.

Thanks Red Dog. I had already ordered the training manual before I posted my question, and you gave me the answer I like 🙂

Hahaha!! Apparently, I can’t read in the first place… for some reason, I read it as “Reproduction of this manual is allowed for non-commercial use only.” This isn’t the first time I’m reading the wrong lines…. was never too good at reading stuff on the screen. That’s why I print manuals and PDFs out all the time! 🙂 I stand corrected.

Dear pandacat,

according to what I have read and learned from all above, I think your understanding is all correct.

With best regards,

I did more testing with the 9X. It also has a 90 min limit.

Just thought I would point out that when writing a manual of any description it is good practice to have page 1 followed by page 2 etc. I know this was probably missed out by cutting and pasting pages from previous manuals and not being able to change the images. If you wish I could do you a new copy of this manual with the page numbers correctly in place and the sections corralated with the main Index. The offers there, just email me if you wish to have it done, or just leave it as it is.

Regards

@VDoggFTM:

I was flying with a pilot last week (on 4.33.3) who was having a problem releasing via CCRP, he changed to pickle 1-2 seconds before release point rather than a longer hold and his bombs have released every time since. So it looks as though it may not be fixed.

It might be that he and I have controller issues and our controllers “lose” the fact that pickle is being held down somehow. I’ve had this theory that the longer you hold the pickle the more likely that the pickle is “interrupted” somehow and then doesn’t resend that the pickle is being held down unless you release the pickle and hold it down again. It’s really all guessing on my part, but I wanted to share that I have thought this might be a controller driver/Windows/DirectX issue and may not be a BMS issue. That might explain why different folks get different mileage.

Hi guys,
first things first:
I really appreciate your dedication, to give us this excellent documentation and sim.

But there might be a little typo/bug/feature in TO-BMS1F-16CM-1.pdf .
In chapter “1.14 AUTOPILOT OPERATION” on page 137 it says several times, that autopilot uses a bank angle of 30 degrees.
I might be wrong, but in my F16 CM-52 the autopilot seems to use a bank angle of 45 degrees.

Not that I’m too worried about this, actually I enjoy the extra G’s this gives to me.
I just wanted to mention it.

Thanx again for your docu
Sunnny

edit RD: corrected

Current text reads:

The HUD is powered on using the BRT wheel on the left of the ICP.

Shouldn’t this read:

The HUD is powered on using the SYM wheel on the left of the ICP.

Ideally it would be great to the PAK area outlines on the Campaign/TE planning maps.
Much like Bullseye that we can turn off and on. You know, right click on the map, and “Show PAK Sections” as an option for the map.

Realistically though, the developers have a long list of programming goals that are going to be more important. Hopefully, this map will
help though: https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?30752-Large-PAK-Section-Map-enclosed-Planning-the-Campaign&p=428483#post428483

Looks like somebody just read Dan Hampton and feels the desperate need to re-enact the book 😉
(I had the same urge, about two years ago…)

For the OFLY part, try to learn the features available in the MARK PAGE of the DED. You’ll find a good starting point it in the “TO-BMS1F-16CM-1.pdf” in Chapter 1.2.10 on Page 68.
This section explains how to save a coordinate to a Steerpoint from one of your Sensor (Radar, Targeting Pod , HUD) or alternatively just the point on the ground directly under you.

Reviving a bit of a dated thread, but is there any way to get TACAN navigation aids in the HUD?

No.

Or even a way to get one decimal precision on T/R TACAN ranges?

with the HSI no, but EHSI gives dme in decimal. At least from the shared memory. haven’t checked in 3D cockpit for Electronic HSI equipped aircraft but I don’t see any reason why not? (havne’t checked as I hardly fly these blocks)
