Youtuber learning Falcon 4 BMS
-
Just want to add my voice to the long list of thank yous for these great videos. They are so well done. Very concise, you never utter a single ummm
I’m an old F4 flyer that fell off the wagon years ago and have recently hopped back on and these videos have accelerated my (re)-learning of F4 beyond what I could have hoped for. Thank you for making them and putting them up.
You’re very welcome.
I’m sure without using a script I would struggle to remember all the details.

Hello supanova, and other pilots!
i am learning Falcon BMS, flying the TR-TEs, following your tutorial-video-instructions and the bms training tutorial. I have a problem with the LGB-TE (airstart) concerning the TGP. Everything seems to be ok, until i step to WP7 (designated as target-waypoint (yellow crane) before in the recon-menue). After that the TGP sight does not switch to the target (yellow crane), as shown in the video and bms-tutorial. It looks far beyond somewhere to the west. I tried several times but can’t find the reason for that. Can you tell me what might be wrong or the missing step?
Best regards

LOOPusDid you set the crane as a target steerpoint in mission planning? And are you sure you selected it in recon, then setting it as Target steerpoint
-
Yes. Make sure to click the right arrow next to DESIGNATE AS TRG STPT to increase the number to 7 and click accept.
-
yes, i followed supanovas instruction, rigth klick on WP7 in mission planning map, open recon, selected the yellow crane in the open window (green marking) and set the target steerpoint ( > #7, click accept). Then i set the target sight (256°). after that i close all open windows and start the mission. Is there something missing to be done?

Sometimes I have this issue, I usually get around it by assigning the target to a higher steer point (usually 15 and so on for additional targets), try that and see if it works.

Yes i agree with this, remember the steerpoint 7 is set as just a steerpoint so i would also start from 15. The game can get confused as the target steerpoint is now the same steerpoint as the actual steerpoint not on target.
-
ok, i will try that and report later on (surprise, the error does not sit in front of the monitor…hope so!)

THX!I’m still learning too but this is the best way to designate GPS bombs too when you get to that (I may be doing it wrong though) but it allows you to quickly cycle a group of targets that are close together, for example dropping several gbu 39 sdbs at some sams or something.

Are you saving the DTC?
-
no, i did not save the DTC… but i`m not shure now it is mentioned in the tutorials?! If it is and it is mandatory i will try that too and report.

Hello,
I was pretty sure to solve the problem with your suggestions, unfortunately I do not succeed with both of your solutions.
first i tested to save and load the DTC (target steerpoint was designated already from last flight). Now the TGP sight locked on the target after setting to wp7, but only for a second or two, then it moved away and jumped around like crazy.
After that i tried to designate the crane with target steerpoint #15, but the TGP shows something like Nirvana.
I will try on, find the solution and report here.
Thank you mates!
