BMS Vietnam - KTO Released
-
this mod is great. the east coast/curve of korea peninsula is about 60% size of real Vietnam, so the cams are a bit scaled down.
Apart from misplaced F-4 variants and some minor bugs, the campaigns bring back old memories in vintage Vnam flight sims… be sure to load weather map/settings and use afterburners aggressively in dogfight!
before a real vnam map ready, this mod can use Nordic DB to boost eye-candies.
-
Yes! F4s and many other vintage AC are going to come from there.(NTO DB)
Map is Going good so far as links and roads … terrain and tiles, still much to do.
Thanks to Revientor , the Pakmap is working! that has been a thorn in my side in the past. -
Thanks all for enjoying this mod and this project. I am very thankful and happy to the support and thanks we received. :bowd:
I got the comment about the accurate F-4 types; will be fixed in an update and/or implemented with the release of the Vietnam war theater.
Any bugs please PM me and in the mean while try and survive in the skies -
I wonder about jungle trees. … endless palm trees look almost as out of place as pine trees.
Does any one know of link to Any. dev in that area?
OK, I found one from Eghi, fom 2012.

Dear Buster,
after having had the chance (…) compliments and regards,
That is very much appreciated! And it’s a community mod now so do with it as you wish I’ll get back to you sometime later and I will definitely take you up on that offer
-
I cant add the F105ś to a package. No option to chose them.
-

Deal!
Could I ask a favor to you, dearest friends? Please find the way to give me a Chief (F-105G).
I’ll leave you all the F-4s alone in return :lol:With best regards,
-
Falconeers
Please treat the bugs as reality challenges.
Real world too got bugs !

I looked into that bug you reported and it seems to work fine on my end in Rolling Thunder I and Linebacker II. Able to frag into my F-4 package, able to join the squadron and fly. In lead or wing positions. Looks fine in 3D and I have encountered no problems at all. So I can’t reproduce the issue: Please PM me with some specifics on the issue please so I can see what I can do
-
Just installed ill tell u one thing for sure the music is amazing, the screens are awesome. I didnt had any mission yet i wanna try my Phantom on that (Currently was testing the LP model so its not complete i have to install the normal) and make some skins, i allready have the PN tailcode i will add CR (also will include “richie” with an extra spot in alpha channel and the serial number for the double star on the intake) and RS,maybe also the 57th FIS, maybe i will need here a little help for the squadrons tailcodes in Vietnam.

Great stuff Manos, thanks. Starrats and I worked on the mood and sounds, so it is greatly appreciated. Let me know how you are getting on.

Agreeded above, as it’s a standard policy in testing checks for me also.
So please start seeking for a decent ‘Chief’ model and FM, guys… that actually available one is more or less as reliable as a sober guy at New Year’s Eve :lol:

Sounds great Mano, you are on fire!!!
But please, don’t forget THE legend Robin Olds’ jet:
I’m not showing ignorance for ace pilot Richard “Steve” Ritchie, but man, Robin Olds was something special and unique in terms of pilot ace!
I think that most of us here that love to have a Vietnam U.S. F-4 skin, would love to have the specific one of R. Olds of Bolo operation day.
Just thinking of course, not a way to force you in what you are going to create ;).

My apologies Mano.
But after I read your quoted post, it seemed that the skins that you will do should be the specific posted ones. You mentioned “PN tailcode, CR, include “richie”, RS and maybe also the 57th FIS”. Not the specific FP 680.
That’s why my post.
Thanks for clarification.

I am trying to frag missions for the F-105F in Linebacker Campaign, but it does not show up in list.
The F-105D on the other hand is available in the list in the other Rolling thunder Campaign.
Already tried disabling the comment // in front of F105F from teplanes.lst file, but still not visible in list.
Does anybody know how to fix this?Also have a question about carrier takeoffs, is it possible to takeoff with F4’s ? What is best procedure for using the older catapult method.
Thanks and Cheers

ObiF4 can launch … just point nose at ramp, an gun it full ab. Drive very cautiously to line it up. The deck wants to launch you so everything is speeded up.
F105F is not available from pick list so you can’t frag your own flights. I tried lining up the correct numbers in VALIDAC.ACT, teplanes.lst, and checked unit.irc , and textid file in art. I know it is do able but I failed to get it on the list as well. I’m just now studying how to do this though.
Someone else might be able to activate it properly.Bms vnam uses default db with modded load outs. I think when making campaign with Mc, we saw the option to use f105f , and didn’t realise it wasn’t activated in the in game ui.
-
Not to nit pick but the center image used in the thread opening post isn’t actually from Vietnam - it’s a F-4E of the 52nd TFW at Spangdahlem, Germany and it’s from the 1980s.
-
True that,
Got any replacement suggestions?
I thought background terrain in that pic was not vnam, but didn’t know all that you mentioned,.,
We are making new bms vnam and if you got a pic you want in ui consider I t a contest, best pic will be ui background …
