That’s team 0, same thing happens in Balkans, it’s not a bug
Mmmph… You’ve chosen worst (re)built campaign as source
There was so many tinkering and learning there that, although it works, it is not in any way ‘Example’ how campaign is done.
Anyway, Congrats… …♪Hello Vietnam♫
…awaiting patches
-
where you n SP campaign or MP campaign?
That was in SP campaign. Seems to happen pretty consistently - at least in both the default (and my own modified) '65 campaign.

Check the trigger file.
Most probably you have a trigger making a loop and executing #PLAY_MOVIE XXX.Just a thought, since I’m messing with campaigns in POH Theater and I’ve experienced something similar.
-
What happens is Da Nang being (re)captured or (re)lost? Trigger file is as lean as can be. Let me know if you encounter issues; everything posted will go on the ‘fix’ file

Have fun attacking or getting attacked by Nove’s SAM sites!
Thanks Nove!You can bet it well, bro!
And thanks a lot to you too, Gio’.Gianni.

Thank you!

Is there a cockpit guide for the F-105 ? I got in that pit for the first time and got overwhelmed pretty quick. I notice that the UFC is where it would be on the A-10C and was trying to toggle the TOS mode so I could have speed for TOT. I was also wondering how and where in the pit does one power on weapons ? Couldn’t figure out how to power on Shrikes. I’m pleased to have this theater and would love to fly the Thud and have a glimpse of the Vietnam war.
Cockpit layout would be fantastic if you have one or can point me in the direction in the docs.Thank you for your hard work and dedication you have for this sim.
I can’t wait for updates in months to come. Big thanks to you and your team of devs for theater. -
Power on shrikes is still needed to be done on mfd.
Not sure about the rest(tot,tos)… but I arm weapons with keyboard shift m.
Can check what pit f105 uses … (probably a10, or f4)
And then pit docs for that should be easy to find from origjnal. -
So the 105 is modeled so that non ai pilots can fly it ?

Yes!
I am a very bad pilot… but here is video of f105 (me, not ai) attacking sams.
I cut detail way down for size to upload from phone, so sorry for bad display.By checking your control setting you can find how to get to ag mode instead of just SMS page.
Mine is a very old and not recommended setup.
I just hit “return” for aa, and “backspace” for air to ground. And it moves mfd to correct page.
But I tinker more than fly.
Recommended is to study current setups for more realism, but I know the same controls are in there , just assigned differently.Some better pilots will be able to tell you how to get to ag mode with “tms” or something.

Shrikes work the same as AGM-88’s: Power on in the WPN (weapons) page. Check the manual, it works the same as the AGM-88. Except the missile specifications are different (range for instrance).
Good luck! -

Yes sir! Uses the A-10 pit. Flies like a beauty

And thanks for the BMS forums dev’s for giving us our own thread here. Thanks!

Thanks Nove!
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=36983&d=1553451089This SAM site is awesome! A cluster will only take out part of it, because of the sand dunes and embankments. You have to be precise or carpet bomb it to destroy it. Great work Nove (and Ned) thanks a million

Hi all,
I got a bug reported and rightly so (thanks!). On day two in Rolling Thunder the news updates start to loop. It is referring to a video we removed from the final version (movie 112). We use movie 113. So there’s that. I guess we’re still human and we mess up sometimes.
Turns out there is a typo in the TRI file. Oh dear.
We will fix it permanently in an update, but for now you can easily do this yourself.
1. Go to your folder: “\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data\Add-On Vietnam\Campaign”
2. open the ‘save02.tri’ file.
With a text editor like Notepad or Notepad ++ (default installed on your OS)3. Go to line 17 which says: “#PLAY_MOVIE 112”
Then;
4a. change it to #PLAY_MOVIE 113
or
4b. delete the line
or
4c. put two forward slashes in front of it.
Example: //5. Save and exit.
Many happy flights!

There you have it!

Suggestion box - some of these things are probably more BMS than your campaign, but I thought I’d throw them out there.
First of all, the F105 is an iconic piece of Vietnam hardware and dropped more bombs for the USAF than any other plane in inventory through the war. It really needs a better external model - the gear doesn’t extend right and it looks pretty simple.
Cockpits for the A-1 and F105 would be cool too (actually for any of them tbh) but I know that’s a big ask, so no rush there.One thing that would be nifty is rocket pods that fire singly - using an entire pod of rockets is cool but how about having two sets of pods in inventory - one for single fire and one for the entire pod. This would be realistic as once it was set at ground it couldn’t be changed mid-air. It would greatly increase TOS for A-1s doing CAS, FAC for the fast air etc.
I love the SAM sites - they revetments etc provide a great challenge and a fantastic look for SA-2’s. Is it possible to have something similar for any AAA nests that would be set (say the ones that would have guarded bridges or other static sites?
Secondly, my contribution:
This weekend, if my own motivation allows, I’ll be organising a bombing table for those that want to use the static sight and mil tables.Because an A-1 with CCIP isn’t that realistic really
