Ff you could have one thing in the next update it would be…
-
The addition of several stand-off missiles in 4.33 makes A-G missions (with these weapons) an easy task. For future major updates I recommend the following two options:
-
Make specific SAMs be able to track and shot down stand-off missiles. IRL it can be done.
-
Introduce a random failure to those weapons.
-
-
How about realistic modeling of the CBU-97 & CBU105 because they’re just like Mk-20’s or any other cluster munition.
IRL they’re awesome smart munitions especially the 105 which is wind corrected version of 97.

Also, the HOTAS config is… “buggy”? I guess? Can’t use the TM-WH throttle to its full potential because it doesn’t recognize the 3-way switches (forward, neutral, back, (it only picks up forward and back)) and the hat next to the TDC slew isn’t being picked up as an option to assign it a function and I can’t seem to find a solution in the TM-WH forum…
Depending on which 3 way you’re referring to, there might only be two “buttons” on the switch. If the joystick isn’t sending a “a button was pressed”, I wouldn’t blame bms…target scripting has gone a long way for me, though i know a lot use striaght dx mappings.

You can use straight DX mappings to have BMS simulate the effect of a three way switch with only two DX buttons, using key release callbacks.

I would like to see an improved 3D model of the Growler like the F/A-18 C and D

Since BMS now is an official mod, next release could be made available on steam/gog/etc… or not?

Discussion on this indicated that the official team is not interested in alternative distribution platforms.

I dunno if anyone saw it but realistic modeled CBU-97 and CBU-105

The F-15 could use a patch to cover that hole behind the pilot seat…

Did not know that, thanks, can you show an example? (I’m away from sim for at least another month)

When Im at my computer I could paste a relevant section of my keyfile. Simply put I have a lot of three way switches that are DX buttons for each outboard position but not for the central position. My keyfile for such a three way switch has four entries; one normal keypress for each outboard position, and one keyrelease for each outboard position.
It is explained how to set that up in the keyfile manual that came with your BMS install actually.

Fix this and to make a completely clear sky in sunny weather have less haze. The lack of curvature could be an issue but it sure would be nice to see no or very little haze on the clearest of days.

please write a proper bug report.
no idea how you managed to get this picture.
please proper bug report needed
as. for haze in clear sky. the visibility by default in sunny is far far more than most of the cases in real

I saw this horizon problem before in the forum and they said it was related to weather. Many of them said it was a known problem so I didn’t write it up. I will though. I guess I miss the look of a crisp clear day where there is no haze in the sky. In some places in the world these clear skies rarely happen but in other places the sky can be much clearer until the horizon. I think most people are used to flying around places that have pollution or lots of water vapor, but when you are in the middle of the ocean or the desert it can be incredibly clear, and there won’t be a wall of haze. It for sure does not match how clear it can be where I have spent time in the sky. I don’t think it’s a big deal it’s just that I miss those times in flight were it was so clear that the ground was not blocked by haze but just lost detail until the curvature of the Earth put it out of view. It just looks a lot different than I am used to. China Lake has an average of 50 miles visibility and I’ve seen other skies closer to 70 miles. Depending on particle scattering visible ranges can be over 100 miles at China Lake. With median particle scattering around (50%) it is minimum 40 miles and up to 70. The sky in BMS does not seem to reflect that and for sure doesn’t look like it. It looks like much higher particle scattering which would be closer to 30 miles visibility. In winter months the average was about 50-70 miles average while in the summer 40-55. At 2 PM the average visibility was even higher. In the middle of the ocean it wasn’t rare to see 50 miles and in the middle east it was very clear sometimes as well.
At China Lake the summary of the monthly cumulative distribution trends of 90% (worst case), 50% (median), and 10% (best case) data. The median visibility for the entire data base is 94 kilometers (58 miles), the mean visibility is approximately 82 kilometers (51 miles). and the best 10th percentile visibility ranges from 296 to 123 kilometers (194 to 76 miles) with an average of 202 kilometers (125 miles). The worst case (90th percentile) visibility ranges from 47 to 33 kilometers (29 to 20 miles) with an average of 41 kilometers (26 miles). The early afternoon visibilities are much greater than the normal median value, and this value more closely reflects perceptions of daytime visibilities at China Lake. The mean 2 p.m. PST visual range is 107 kilometers (66 miles).
I heard that in BMS max visibility is about 30 miles. So that is about half of China Lakes afternoon average visibility.
Today south east China has horrible visibility and I don’t know about Korea.
Also, I grew up on the north side of a bay that is about 15-20 miles across and surrounded by mountains and any day that is not overcast you can see the mountains across the bay that are further than 30 miles. Some days the ocean can be seen from more than 100 miles from the big mountains.

The bent horizon looks like looking over the edge of a tile to me, and something that does need a fix. But the haze looks like a very nice presentation of what it can be like to look through a real canopy…that has been in the field a while. So I have to say I rather like the haze part.

I’m fine with the haze, but for me it would be nice to have a day every so often where visibility would be excellent.

Maybe in the UK or Europe. Ive routinely had better visibility from lower altitudes coming out of YBLN than in the sim.

It was discussed before.

Dee-Jay mentioned such a horizon is Not so uncommon.
However I still have felt BMS horizon bit strange(compared to photos and videos I’ve seen on the internet/magazines and real sky i have seen from airliner), Viking may have find out its reason.It just looks a lot different than I am used to. China Lake has an average of 50 miles visibility and I’ve seen other skies closer to 70 miles. Depending on particle scattering visible ranges can be over 100 miles at China Lake.

If its true, I guess This is what causing horizon looks like looking over the edge of a tile.
The screenshots were taken at instant action 12:00 near Kunsan.
I tried photoshop to add some gradation under the horizon.

Searched for some internet photos……
This horizon looks close to the BMSs horizon so it might be not uncommon horizon can be see in real life. but also seems it has more visibility than BMS.
