    These two blocks in Training.pdf contradict one another. Code bug or doc bug? I’m assuming doc-bug … if so, delete the phrase on pg. 182 that suggests setting the laser-start time of 40 seconds. (It appears N/I for laser mavs, and I believe that is by design, as explained below on pg. 183.) [image: ncuNvNv.png] [image: 5L13iMJ.png]

    Thanks for the feedback about ‘Mean Sea Level’. I think that’s a good guess that I hadn’t thought of. And I say ‘a good guess’ because there’s no mention of it in the User Manual because there’s not one word about the ‘Steerpoints’ section of the Briefing Window, although every other section was addressed. @Micro_440th, I hope you can find a moment to include some reference in the User Manual about the ‘Steerpoints’ section of the Briefing Window, including an explanation of what ‘M’ is supposed to mean. If you guys are right, then I think it would have been a lot clearer if the column heading read ‘Alt@MSL’ and the numbers would have been, for instance, ‘20.0k’. Any BMS coders around? As usual, you fellow virtual pilots are helpful and supportive of one another. Thanks for your input.

    @Dan said in Ramp Start Training Mission vs Checklist - 4.37 U2: @mack97 The differences between the two are pretty minor but right now, for learning purposes, I’d stick with the training manual. It fills in the extra info you need to fully understand what’s happening during the start up and uses the 3 sweep method of remembering all of the steps. Once you’re comfortable with the process, you’ll have the knee pad checklist to fall back on, in case you need a reminder. I will check in detail. If I have time, I will sync the training manual with the checklists about those minor discrepancys in U3. Thanks for checking! Cheers

    The file [C]:\Falcon BMS 4.37\Docs\01 Input Devices\02 Key File Editor*Complete Callback List.txt* seems not to have been updated for BMS 4.37.2 I believe these Callbacks are missing in the list; SimTrimAPDISC / SimTrimAPDisc – Should be: SimTrimAPDISCTog in a next U3 version… See my discussion in technical section. Also, all the new “Gamepad Hotas” callback for section 6.09 is missing; SimAltHotasTMSShift SimAltHotasDMSShift SimAltHotasUp SimAltHotasUpRight SimAltHotasRight SimAltHotasDownRight SimAltHotasDown SimAltHotasDownLeft SimAltHotasLeft SimAltHotasUpLeft SimAltHotasAlpha SimAltHotasBravo SimAltHotasXray SimAltHotasYankey

    @SoBad I didn’t know it was there either – your post made me look. (for some reason when I search the doc for terms like “CBU”, I get no hits. but it’s there… perhaps the table is pasted in as an image for some reason.)

    Hi @Micro_440th , Thanks for your extensive answer. This makes the purpose of the different documents much more clear to me. Thanks a lot to you and the team for the wonderful simulation and great documentation! Best regards!

    @Atlas said in Checklist not complete?: @Micro_440th Would it be possible to get your template or some instructions on how you’ve made the new checklists? I would like to create my own but still keep your formatting. This new formatting is different from previous versions, can you tell me why there is a change? Is this more true to real life or just an aesthetic choice? Thanks! It is very close to the real ones. The previous checklists were lets say incomplete and outdated.

    @airtex2019 said in FALCON BMS 4.37.1 - Documentation Bug Reports: @Micro_440th some Hornet doc tweaks, per discussion w/ MavJP https://forum.falcon-bms.com/topic/24703/questions-about-auto-throttle/31 Document: BMS-Naval-Ops.pdf Page: 5 Original sentence: When the landing gear is extended for landing the pitch will trim the AoA. Manual adjustment is required of the pitch- trim to set the correct AoA for landing. The initial AoA trim value is taken when lowering the gear. So, it is very wise to map a trim switch to the control stick. Corrected sentence: The optimal approach AOA for the F/A-18C/D is 8.1°, which corresponds to the center of the E-bracket symbology on the HUD (and the orange circle on the indexer). With the landing gear and flaps extended, and airspeed below 250 knots, the Hornet's FCS will attempt to adjust pitch to control AOA. The initial target AOA trim value is established when moving the FLAP switch from AUTO to either HALF or FULL position -- this target AOA can be fine-tuned using the pitch-trim controls on your HOTAS or key-bindings, but only within a narrow range -- so it's important to engage the flaps when flying close to the optimal 8.1° approach AOA. (See also: auto-throttle approach-mode, below.) Document: BMS-Naval-Ops.pdf Page: 7 Original sentence: ATC APPROACH Mode – With the FLAP switch set to HALF or FULL the thrust is set to maintain the AoA when the ATC button is pressed. Corrected sentence: ATC APPROACH Mode – With the FLAP switch set to HALF or FULL, the throttle is manipulated mechanically to maintain the desired approach AOA (see Pitch-Trim, above) which was established when the flaps were extended, and fine-tuned by pitch-trim controls. @JollyFE FYI

    @clauridsen As those tabs were supposed to be for tablets/phone use, they are quite too big. I think IRL the tabs would probably be the same height but only half of the width jutting out.

    Good evening Jacqueslees Since the end of the year 2022, I no longer know how to spend a lot of time on my computer and I have been lacking in free time. BMS Falcon evolves quickly and I think I take these translations on the latest version 4.xx of the moment when I could get back to it. I hope before the end of this year.

    @Dukera said in Question on Chik-Do Range Restrictions Document: Just want to check the distance for the base turn, I read it as 2.07. However, the 7 shows on the line below the 2.0 with no explanation as to why. So am I correct 2.07 for base or 2.0? Thanks, Duke Yes its 2.07 typo. Will be fixed in U3. Thanks for reporting

    It’s pretty easy. If someone wanna translate BMS to their language, in 2023 we have much better (free) convertion tools from pdf to text. Giving any source files is not possible. Wiki will be the BMS future in the next couple of year’s. So translation will be much easier. See you in 1 year
