BMS updated manual under WIP from Redog !! ?
-
page 16: engine will not starve with fuel flow off = syphoning.
AND additional: set to AFT syphoning prohibited from FWD and vice versa.
what i mean is: it is unclear if the opposite fuel side is completely cut off in AFT/FWD after reading page 16.
-
WOW! Redog, you are the man!
-
WOW RD, this promises to be a great great eastern reading.
Only about the 1st chap. but it’s already looking good, looking reeeeeeal good…. thanks RD. -
p. 16: “Note that the YAW trim knob does not move in BMS when
rudder trim is implemented and as a consequence you have no reference for the YAW TRIM position.”??? Yaw Trim Knob does move and therefor indicate yaw trim position in cockpit.
btw. I like the style of the manual - straightforward.
-
I can’t wipe the smile off of my face! Thank you so much for your time and effort! I can’t wait to sit down and start going through it.
-
Thank you .

Thank you very much for the work all of you put into this!:D -

Red Dog, The altimeter described in 1.2.3.10 page 40 is a perfect example of one of the bugs in BMS. Luckily, most people don’t use the “steam powered” altimeter and rely on the HUD instead. In BMS, this altimeter reads 3970’ because in BMS the thousands digit clicks to a 3 when you are 1’ below 4000’ when descending and in this picture you are decending. If you were climbing to 3000’, the thousands digit would still be a 2 with the hundreds digit a 9. Here climb 30’ and the alitmeter will read 4000’.
The outer scale is in 20’ increments with the cardinal numbers representing 100’s of feet (2=200’) with total around the dial as 1000’ (not 100’).

@Red:
For those of you willing to spend the Easter week end reading … the dash one v1 for 4.32 update one has been released.
Where you would ask ? Well for now, follow the link in the first post.
proper announcement will be made later today.Many thanks again to the proofreaders who made a hell of a job
Thanks for your (continuing) labour on this.
Are the existing proof readers still working on the typos ? Or is there a reporting format and link to send them to ?
-
Thank you Red Dog!

Any plans to tweak the checklists? I noticed the startup checklist says to set COM1 and 2 freqs ten whole steps before actually setting COM1 and 2 volume……which is impossible to do because comms are “off” when the volume is off and entering said freqs does not work until after COM1 and 2 volume has been set.
-
jinro88, it sounds to me like you’ve overlooked the cockpit interior checklist and have gone straight into the main checklists. The latter document actually begins with a VERIFY CHECK section which references the former.
-
I think Red Dogs Combatsimchecklist.net website deserves it’s own sticky in the “Releases & Updates” forum, alongside WDP.
I don’t use WDP (because I can’t get it to work!) but I use all of Red Dogs checklilst and documents. I think Red Dog’s work is a must for all Viper drivers! -
jinro88, it sounds to me like you’ve overlooked the cockpit interior checklist and have gone straight into the main checklists. The latter document actually begins with a VERIFY CHECK section which references the former.
The VERIFY CHECK makes no mention of Comms at all. Only fuel master, engine feed, EPU, ENG CONT, throttle, LG, hook, master arm, and air source.
Regardless of the VERIFY CHECK, the main checklist still clearly states in step 16f to set and check COM1&2 volume, which implies that they are off (hence the usage of “set”). Step 7 says to set COM1&2 freqs. The freqs cannot be set prior to setting COM1&2 volume.
-
The VERIFY CHECK does refer you back to the cockpit interior checklist:
I’m not sure whether you are just picking at Red Dog’s documents or following your own wayward procedure. The fact is you’ve skipped the cockpit check where usual practice is to make the radios ready as early as practically possible.
- Part 1 of Wizard’s
- RD’s BMS 4.32 Dash One Manual - Section 2.1 “1st Sweep”
…all describe radio preparation before engine start. Backup UHF will operate on battery power.

Jinro88,
As F4jok said, the checklists sets some system ready at the cockpit interior check so they become available the moment the battery or the main gen comes online.
That’s why Radios and volumes are set in Cockpit interior and lights as well.
The purpose of the verify checks in the main volume is to ensure that critical switches are verified before starting the engine for those that didn’t use the cockpit interior check volume.The BUP UHF Radio with the above checks can be used as soon as you go Battery power.
And your lights will be ON and SET the moment the MAIN gen comes online after engine start.Many thanks F4jok for the perfect explanation
