This is the most beautiful thing you will see today.

Could we possibly get the F/A-18 Hornet HUD fixed

In BMS 4.37.3 alpha is in wrong place and mach and G indicators are missing.

Edit: I have old avionics enabled in config.

Hi, Hubert. For now I have the old avionics enabled as well. For now there are a couple of workarounds, The first is the shift+3 display which gives you a Display
Also, if you have MFDE, you can get mach

@Stevie said in 4.37 Campaigns using AGM 65L:

@Soundman - first, in RL an LMAV is a more effective weapon within the battle space…shocks me how long it took to get an LMAV into BMS, really. Secondly, MAV G in BMS is greatly over-modeled compared to RL, and I’m not even sure that the majority of the earlier types are even in inventory anymore. Plus no weapon is truly “fire and forget” for numerous of reasons…especially in the A/G arena.

Which is an even more basic issue - in a lot of cases, type aircraft, systems, weapons, and/or tactics within given scenarios don’t always line up with historical timelines or reality…and I’m not sure just how to address/solve that other than knowing more about history and RL and sticking to that rather than “the book”. Which actually works out really well, but requires some self-imposed rules, restrictions, and discipline.

@Stevie , you left the selector of the rifle of disagreements on burst, there were 2 in less than 10 milliseconds. Here we all know that you have launched mavericks, you have worked at NASA, at Roll Royce, at the RWR factory, at DARPA, in the ejection seat department and hundreds of other professions in the aeronautical sector, but please remember that This is free, the guys who are at the top of the command ladder of this community do not have a penny through their hands and it is their family and life time that they are investing in us, so “BRO”, go easy With the criticism, they are giving everything.

@VIPER-0 The 6th on the prowl in Georgia last night… @MailMan is lined up in the 2 slot

This bug has been around since 4.37ish (or 4.36?), when AGM-65L was introduced AFAIR.
Code takes also into account stand-off capability, damage type and the special flags when choosing the loadout, and the AGM-65L is one of the weapons that fulfill most of the criteria. The ATM should be able to handle multiple loadouts but it has been choosing mainly the AGM-65L.
I put on my list to fix at the end of U3 but time was simply not there to fix that.

@VIPER-0 @MailMan
Have they already dropped work on Falcon 5 to work on Falcon 6? Sweet!
Would you guy mind adding to your post what days/times you guys fly?

Our wing operates with -5 UTC (Zulu).
The time of flight is variable, as the free time of our members is different, it may be that someone flies at 2 am LT and finishes 5 or the majority of us who fly 19 to 22 LT.

If you will find in our discord the wing’s flight log that is updated live when a pilot finishes a flight cycle (takeoff-landing) or directly executes or dies with a 0 and a death added to his history.

We are a Spanish-speaking community but we have no limits of age or language, in the art of virtual flight we speak the same universal language: aeronautics.

Also the guys from 6th VFW guided by @MailMan are doing a good job and it would be great to expand their pilot team. We also support them in recruiting and wish them success in their operations.

@Mylonite470 @RalphROV
It is correct and when the oil dries out it makes the plastic wear out faster.

It has to be silicone-based grease or one that I would recommend for prolonged service and use time graphitized grease. It has excellent qualities against cyclic movements and a very low level of evaporation, not to say almost zero.

Many years ago I used NK-10 graphitized grease used in Soviet aviation for my handcrafted peripherals, pedals and power lever, and until their last day they remained perfectly lubricated.
