BTW…

“First TE In Tears”

I assume you mean “Years”
because, if you really meant “tears” then we are gonna have to slap you around a bit. :uham:

The best way to get over the initial hurdles of learning is to get on TS3 and fly side by side with another pilot who has the patience to guide you along.
You may need 100 hours of flying time to get to the point where you can say,

hey… I can do this!

There are pilots here with 5000+ hours in the cockpit and still learning…

55th Flight Night tomorrow at 1600z.

Sign up Here

Read the same polar diagram with a study example to figure out
how important situation awareness is…

As an experienced pilot imagine though that this should be ploted in your mind
but we all start …in plain paper.

by the way “sharky” is my art signature
Fly, have fun

Gentlemen,
AMVI is now ready to start two new activities: a training sequence and a Campaign. Booth series of mission will be consecutive, with different format and will last until early summer.
As always, we do have the great pleasure of extending the invitation to participate to these events also to External Groups.
Please visit http://www.amvi.it/forum/f4bms-operational-activities-program-2015-t19820.html for future further information.
You can also contact [email protected].

The first campaign will start on Monday, February 2 and it will happen once a week. Six missions will be carried out (the final term is Monday, March 9 included) and their primary purpose is the verification of the ACM training level acquired during the past months. Naturally, points of verification will also be STRIKE, SEAD and Refueling missions, as well as instrumental procedures in reduced-visibility scenarios.

The missions will not have an organic sequence of events but they will be specifically planned for each event and from time to time, so to focus on a specific topic of main interested and importance.

Some particular information on the first Campaign:

EXERCISE
NAME: Iniohos 2015
THEATER: EMF
START: Monday, February 2
END: Monday, March 9 including
NUMBER OF MISSIONS: 6 (one per week)
TYPE: Training
RESTRICTIONS:
–-> Air / Air: ONLY rear aspect missiles and cannon
—> SEAD: no POD
—> Strike: only unguided munitions.

The chosen theater will be the East Mediterranean Front (EMF) produced by EMF in collaboration with AMVI, recently officially released. More information will be available in the coming days, as well as the charts related to the area where the missions will be organized.

Participation should will be posted as soon as the missions are published in EXTERNAL GROUP AREA of AMVI’s site; participation to all and every mission is not required, so each Squadron can freely schedule its activities and participate whenever they will prefer.

Obviously each mission, as per AMVI standard, will have human ATC, AWACS and TANKER operators; the server hosting the sessions is a high-performance server, connected to a 100Mbit band, so as to ensure the best operations performance.
See you soon!

===================================

Señores,
AMVI ya está listo para iniciar dos nuevas actividades: una secuencia de entrenamiento y una Campaña. Ambas misiones seran consecutivas, con un formato diferente y duraran hasta principios de verano.
Como siempre, tenemos el gran placer de extender la invitación a participar de estos eventos también a todos os Grupos
Externos.
Por favor visite http://www.amvi.it/forum/f4bms-operational-activities-program-2015-t19820.html para próximas más informaciones.
También puede contactar [email protected].

La primera campaña se iniciará el lunes 2 de febrero y va a pasar una vez por semana. Se llevarán a cabo seis misiones (el término final es Lunes, 09 de marzo incluido) y su objetivo principal es la verificación del nivel de formación ACM adquirida durante los últimos meses. Naturalmente los puntos de verificación serán también misiones de STRIKE, SEAD y abastecimiento en vuelo, así como los procedimientos de vuelo instrumentale en escenarios con visibilidad reducida.

Las misiones no tendrán una secuencia orgánica de los acontecimientos, sino que serán programadas específicamente para cada evento y de vez en cuando, así que se puedan centrar en un tema específico de principal interés e importancia.

Algunas informacines en particular sobre la primera campaña:

EJERCICIO
NOMBRE: Iniohos 2015
TEATRO: EMF
INICIO: Lunes, 02 de febrero
END: Lunes, 09 de marzo incluidos
NÚNERO DE MISIONES: 6 (una por semana)
TIPO: Capacitación
RESTRICCIONES:
–-> Aire / Aire: SÓLO misiles aspecto traseros y cañones
—> SEAD: no POD
—> Strike: sólo municiones no guiadas.

El teatro elegido será el Frente Mediterráneo Oriental (EMF), producido por la EFM en colaboración con AMVI, recientemente publicado oficialmente. Más información estará disponible en los próximos días, así como los gráficos relacionados con el área donde se organizarán las misiones.

La participación tiene que ser publicada en seguida a la publicaciónde de las misiones en la zona de EXTERNAL GROUP AREA de sitio AMVI; no se requiere la participación a todas y cada misiones, así que cada Escuadrón puede programar libremente sus actividades y participar siempre que y cuando prefieran.

Obviamente cada misión, según la norma AMVI, tendrá operadores humanos por cada ATC, AWACS y TANKER operación; el SERVER que aloja las sesiones es un server de alto rendimiento, conectado a una banda de 100 Mbit, a fin de garantizar el mejor funcionamiento de las operaciones.
Hasta pronto!

Our intention is to start this kind of exercises and operations with our spaniard brothers of EdAv.

But we will increase the scope of invitations and we want to invite some others squadrons (I mean all of you) and establish a dedicated campaign with a coherent time line and mission preparation for everybody. The flight days will be certain days during the month and all missions will be prepared properlly and in campaign mode every missions depend on the last one.

And as I said those campaigns designed by us are completly different, on behaviour and difficulty.

But at the moment let’s start from the begining and step by step.

Stay tunned…

Yes, of course Nikos, no problem. I can tell you where I landed…and where you can find me :uham:

@Agave_Blue:

OK, try this:

Open your ‘SAM Training.ini’ file in a text editor like Notepad. Just under the [Mission] header, change the mission name to SAM Training.

See if that does the trick …. I got it to work and I think that was the key.

That worked!

I sent my wingie the same files to put in his saved directory and he also had the proper range rings, etc. Thanks!

very professional work well done!!!

Thanks for the heads-up TobiasA.

Ah, I think I got it now. I don’t have an entry called “AWACS”, but “ELINT” seems to do the trick as well:

Thanks again!

Yes you can make a ship stationary.

Not sure how to do it in MC, but in TacEdit this is how it’s done.

Go the ships unit entry, on the Base Object page, note the X/Y coordinates, go to the Unit Properties page. Click on the WayPts button and a page will open up. Add three waypoints(0/1/2), when adding each waypoint, enter the current X/Y coordinates from the Base Object page, click OK and you’ll return to the Unit properties page.

Make the WayPts 3 and CurWP 1

sorry guys it wont be back up till monday

edit: server is up right now

For most flying in BMS, I rather think you can get away with treating all airbases as non towered airfields, and operating under CTAF principles.

agreed

Perhaps this is a good time to stop and think what you’d like to get out of your stick-time.

Are you willing to go ’ all the way ’ then there are only a (very) few squads that have set such a realism policy. E.g. just to be able to pass the start of the learning curve to pass the ‘recruit’ status might take up to (some times over) a year.

Do you want to fly Co-op server setups, e.g. F-O stuff or Veterans gaming (if it’s still up though), then a lot of SQ are suitable imho. They teach you all the necessary steps to be able to navigate & communicate with fellow humans in the theatre, sorting bandits, choice of weapons, methods to deploy them, etc.

If you want some ’ in between ’ SQ, then be aware that most SQ’s have their own - as you call it - Lingo, rules and procedures and derive training skills for a part of their ’ home -based’ f16 RL SQ’s. Quite a few have connections to RL fighter pilots, who sometimes are willing to give hints for useful training exercises, and even some help in setting up more RL COMAO - TE’s, if you’re lucky even with SPINS (Special Instructions).

Ok, all in all, perhaps ask around with some SQ’s what flavor they employ and see it that fits your taste.

Also, if you like to do some specific training, you could also post that request here on the forum… my experience is that quite a few are more then willing to give you training practice which are really instructive and fun.

Just my 2 cents,
Regards,
Fan

@Reaper58th:

Tom has altered the virtual paths for the KI so they follow the roads-textures. He wrote that in our squadrons forum.

I haven´t looked into it yet, how well he did that, but good news.
Did he also re-built a korea.thr file from that (goes into campaign folder), so the ground-units actually understand them?? 😉

My whole point is, that terrain-textures, elevations, pathes, areas etc. ( in Data\Terrdata\korea terrain or textures) need to be made compatible or in sync with the content of the campaign folder (save0.cam, TE_new.cam, korea.thr, Ojbective locations etc.). Just “patching” one part is not so wise imo.

Thank you to all participants…

You guys are amazing…

I couldn’t participate, so sorry for this…

Additional thanks go to 373 VFS from Greece, they support us and let us to use their server. They are amazing guys…

Sertificates are on the way…

We are waiting screenshots, videos from you… Please post it here…

See you next time…

Plays the campaign 🙂

BB

@sunny_hk:

www.thailflight.com? COOL……please say hi with Mr. Smart for me, this is Spear, his ex-teammate was in 87th. ^^

Tank you for correct URL , and wilco.

@kenguan:

Thailand should have it’s own VFW, seeing IRL Thai Air Force operates the F-16.

Yes, we have but that was a long time ago.

We can’t join Falcon Online Sever because own’s network has too high ping. So we have small MP flight only.
