The future of the sim..?

True. We (you and me and many others, at least) got it.
But also ‘they’ did the same, I must be afraid.With best regards,

Who knows… ? Remember the time (before its release) FalconBMS (also called DarkFalcon by some people) was a qualified as vaporware …
About the future of Falcon4, since BMS team has the source code and now, the support of Tommo … everything is possible. It is just a question of motivation and time.
However, concerning other aircraft than the F-16, do not expect any miracles. There is too much left to fix, do and implement properly on the venerable F-16 : delivery modes, IFF, L16, HTS, various more realistic technical details, systems or ops constrains … etc… (on which we do have valid information and which are not sensible) and I am not even talk about global AI, radar, SAM, EW … behaviors.IMHO, (personal feeling and not the official voice of BMS) the only a/c you (maybe) might hope for improvement and dedicated avionics (maybe one day) is perhaps the F-18 (?). But to bring it near the level of our curent F-16 … you will probably have to wait another decade.
So I won’t expect BMS to become something close to DCS in the area of multi-aircraft simulation. Maybe some 3Dpit slightly improved (hotspot fixes, textures … etc …) maybe … it is not impossible … But certainly not a accurate F-22 nor AN-3 simulation.Is it reasonable to hope for some good and appreciated features in the future : YES … definitively. Do I believe that Falcon will always be a reference in 2027 … ? Yes, I truly believe so.
Live and enjoy the present. We are dealing with “the future”.
You know, Dee-Jay, while I would enjoy a more functional Hornet cockpit, I recently surprised myself when I realized I preferred the Viper avionics. Maybe it’s just my personal tendency to “make lemonade”, but rolling in a a SAM site,just TMS-ing,DMS-ing,cursor enabling, and pinky switching to beat the band, is where the most fun is for me. “Flying Viper” in a Hornet is not a drawback, it’s an opportunity.
Vandal, what you wrote about drones had previously occurred to me. I mean, if RL is “videogame-like”, would it be fun for us? For me, personally, I like what we have here.
What I would like to see in BMS is, wherever possible, to bring in new tech to our flying. AESA(I know this has been discussed, but in 10 years???),ALE-50, IFF, comms,cutting edge weapons, etc. Perhaps we could look at it this way…The USAF will never field a Block 60 Viper…but, WE can.
The other thing I would like to see if increased ease of setup and operation of the sim itself. Take what we have to the point where the bugs are gone. -

Rybo, Frankly I’d be very happy to be proven wrongon that.
Mav, :lol::lol::lol::headb:
Be that as it may, and no matter what RL is like, our opportunity remains… -

The other thing I would like to see if increased ease of setup and operation of the sim itself. Take what we have to the point where the bugs are gone.I, my self, would love to see different avionics modeled for each jet. BIG undertaking, but it would give the VP a good basis on the variations of different combat aircraft. The Super B definitely has a different set up. So, I would look forward to different avionics for different jets. Don’t know if that can be done, but I would think that in time, all things are possible. Also, AESA would be difficult to model due to lack of any real world data on it. But a good educated guess would do well I think. As for more advanced weapons, the slammer D would be a nice addition, along with other advanced weapons that are fielded now. Also, the slammer B and C variant would be great to see modeled. Right now AFAIK, only the B is modeled in BMS (even for the C). So, lots of stuff here to look into. I think this sim is just getting warmed up!

I don’t think I’m expressing my idea properly. My own enjoyment of “The Great Viper HOTAS Dance” aside, I’d love a fully modeled Hornet, Super Hornet, etc. I’d love to see Flight Sim X with the BMS campaign engine. If BMS gave me that, I’d just fly the Viper when I’m in a mood for “TGVHD”!
The point is, I don’t see that happening-ever. That most emphatically is NOT a criticism of the Devs. I see it as a simple fact, though I wouldn’t mind being proved wrong on that.
That being the case, how cool would a BMS be with the tech/avionics/weapons stuff enhanced , “polished” to where the user bugs have been solved, and maybe things like Voice Command integrated into a new comms program?
Call it Super BMS. Just like the Rhino is an enhanced Bug,Super BMS is at it’s core the same, just-more.
That to me is a Vision that CAN be achieved, and without increasing the Dev divorce rate. -
I agree here. But I believe that all things are possible in dues time, so patients has paid off so far (BIG TIME IMO), and I am willing to wait for it. But while were waiting, enjoy another SEAD flight. Cheers. :drink:

I can’t imagine enjoying a game like that. I don’t see Falcon going that way either. I was just reflecting I guess that in a lot of ways we are already flying in a historical setting and the future is pretty bleak when it comes to humans being needed in the cockpit. So, yeah I think the future of this sim is being the authority on the jet fighter pilot age of flight. So working backwards through all of the retired jet airframes makes a whole helluva lot more sense to me than going forward. But that’s just this fellas opinion, mileage may vary.

So is it better Avionics or Visuals or Sound or A.I or Campaign or Online play. there’s a lot of input from a lot of people with some thought about the time to get it done and the direction to take the sim so maybe there’s understanding as to the reason that patches
take so long and why they concentrate on getting it right over getting it fast. it’s easy to ask for this and that and complain about what’s missing but some one will always want the one thing that’s not there not just be happy with what is’
If it was you building a sim that you would give to the world for free how much would put into that sim. How deep would it bee. as good as what’s in Falcon ??? or not. -
I don’t believe people gather on these forums because they are not “happy with what is.” My guess is that people all gather here because this sim offers soooooo much. People are always going to make suggestions and as my USAF buddy used to say, “G.I. ain’t happy if G.I. ain’t bitchin’”. So, I just think the cooperative side of human nature is always probing for a way to contribute and improve things. And some will take that cooperative spirit to mean that we don’t appreciate all the hard work that has got us to this point – I just don’t think that is the case on average – in fact I take it as the opposite. If someone wants to improve on something I’ve done that means they like me or what I’ve done and hope to improve on it. Anyway, that’s how I see it.

Interesting discussion.
IMO the most important thing to ensure is that new recruits are brought into “the team”, and learn the secret art of developing falcon, to bring the sim forward when the actual team will be old.
Yep, I’m saying that 'cause I believe Falcon will be around for a looooong time (thank god, 'cause there really isn’t much else out there, and don’t get me started on DCS…). -

Falcon BMS 5.0 will be amazing.
