This Sucks

We need a pyromancer for this one

Saitek AV8R-01 believe it or not. But someday I swear, I will have a HOTAS. Oh yes, I will.

Actually, I started with that too. A real HOTAS will blow you away

read the TO-BMS1F-16CM-1 in the DOC folder in your BMS install location
I recommend pages 27-29 and 54-56 for a good way to setup your flight controls
Become familiar with the terms TMS, DMS, CMS and COMMSâŚ.
Print the pages I mentioned and practice, practice, practice
âŚor just continue playing Ace Combat on your X-BoxâŚ

Well I never played BMS 4.32 because the setup of the joy sticks was so confusing that it didnât seem worth the trouble.
So with 4.33 I had hoped the past was left behind. But no so. Configuring the joystick setup is still a nightmare.
Somebody thought that everybody was a computer expert.
Simple joystick of Falcon 4 AF was the way to go together the greatest numbers of users, but someone thought that making
it as complicated as possible was the answer. My thought is that BMS is soon to fail because of personal ignorance.
Lots of people want to fly, but they donât want to spend all their time being a computer guru.I guess youâre not playing DCS, FC3, or other complex sims then.
Do you want help? Or are you just here to moan? If you want help, then maybe make a new post and try again. There is a âJoystick & Input Devicesâ sub-forum for this very purpose. If youâre just here to complain, well, good luck with whatever non-complex activity you decide to do next.

You might fail, but BMS seems to be going strong and growing.

And they do indeed! Some donât even bother setting up their joystick⌠they just borrow/copy a profile that is made for their type of joystick/HOTAS and go off and learn the sim!

I love how this hardcore sim vets itself.

Ya know when I was told to RTFM I reacted like I was insulted yet frankly it was the best advice I needed.

Itâs negative reinforcement. Whether it works or not depends on your upbringing IMO. I was subjected to this throughout my youth, and always accepted it as a challenge to prove I was up to the task. The other side of the coin, is a feeling of oppression that some just canât overcome. But as Mower correctly stated, the âsim vets itselfâ.
-
Yes but this is not an arcade game and requires an effort to learn the tech stuff and I do agree with Mower.

I own a cougar with FSSB and a Warthog.
Still, whenever I want to fly ClOD, IL-2 or RoF, AV8R-01 replaces the hotas on my desk.
Obviously, there are better joysticks out there, but good old AVR8 deserves some respect! [emoji2] [emoji2] [emoji2]
Regarding OPâŚ. Well I have temptations to respond to his trolling, but there are two ways to look at it, either BMS is too complicated or OP is too simple.
Long live BMS and its âso OMGâ complicated joystick calibration.

But in what way is BMS harder to configure than other sims? I found it easier to configure than FSX, way easier than X-Plane and equal to DCS. Click on the control in the list and move the joystick command acordingly. I must be missing something because this seems to be a recurring topic.

With the statement above (and this is for the benefit of all newcomers) your initiative is doomed to failure
Because that joystick configuration might indeed be a little be complicated but itâs part of a selection process or at least a motivation indicator.
Just like when you study for high schools or when you take an exam before being able to start specific studies. Itâs not for everyone and only the ones ready to make the required efforts will prevail.
the rest will be left on the sides.Elitist? BS.
Everyone decides what he can do and devote the required efforts to succeed.
Moaning doesnât help. Try hard and you will get all the help you need -

Your right I donât think it could be any simpler.
Mouse left click on function, it turns blue.
Activate the joystick/throttle input you want it to be assassinated with.
Click save.
Next functionâŚâŚect
Click save.
After you have done a few restart Falcon and check.
Tomorrows lesson will will be how to pedal a bicycle. With training wheels
Always sus on people who have an account over 2 years old and only made 3 posts.

That was my feeling, thank you!
Regarding âAlways sus on people who have an account over 2 years old and only made 3 postsâ, I am not sure I get the meaning, but I would comment on that: not that I have only 3 posts, but I am not going to break any writing record either
The point here is: I read the forum, but very few times I feel like I have something constructive to say or to ask. Maybe only after 2 years (to say something) I will be really prepared to help to an extent and write something worth reading. Until then, I donât think I am posting much besides side coments like this one -

Bahh always makes me giggle when these come up
the below is my personal opinion only and not that of BMSSomebody thought that everybody was a computer expert.
Nope just able to read or ask for help guess we aimed to high
My thought is that BMS is soon to fail because of personal ignorance.
well that your personal opinion and your entitled to it
have a falcon day /0

Perhaps considering locking the thread? The dude came back and apologizedâŚ
