Nice saying, But the problem isn’t determination nor motivation. The problem is that numbers are limited, both time and resources (coding hands).

So… we must prioritize subjects, and avionics for other ACs is on low priority. Maybe it’ll change in the future, but we have so much to do in many other aspects, that I don’t know when that will happen.

I dont think, considering limited resources, that there should be any deviation from the development of the f-16 and other mechanics (graphics, AI etc) in favor of other aircraft. Time spent on other planes is time that could be spent making the f-16 better. The only time i can imagine another plane to be really necessary (i.e. f35) is when the viper becomes so obsolete that the game becomes a historical sim rather than a modern combat one… and even then i would love to fly it, just as i love flying ww2 sims.

Not necessarily. Look at what we have be given over the years in the F4 community, and I’d bet that less than 1% was payware. Yes DCS is pretty, and have many more flyable aircraft, but they ED is a big team where it’s a business. BMS is a small team of dedicated individuals working in their spare time, and just look at how good their product is.

i am sure the other a/c will have the chance to be improved too…**

That’s outside of what I was getting at in furthering the conversation…if you’re building a cockpit…and/or a computer…and/or a buying a TIR or ED Tracker…and/or a few 4K displays or projectors…and a HOTAS Cougar or Warthog…and some pedals…and TM MFDs…then you need LOTS of $$$. This, and that pointed out below, are the things that try men’s souls and test the limits of our determination - not the fact that BMS itself is free…

+1.

Hello, just curiosity, the hornet will be some day fully system implemented some day? I mean, map in colors on mfd, etc.
My workaround for this is to export the graphics using YAME to a second monitor and use the Block 60 pedestal moving map. I changed the range rings to be more of a compass rose. Its still a work in progress, but its a little better than just the default HSI. Even A models had a microfiche moving map.
I’d like to see a skin upgrade to the avionics to make it APG-73 or even APG-79 like. If you know anyone who has those skills I am willing to help craft the visuals, if required/desired. I’ve often wondered how hard it is to re-skin the avionics. Any idea?
Thanks
