Shung, give -Ice a break… He has a live outside of Falcon you know.

Which is pathetic, to be honest. Aside from my family who I love dearly, the daily grind is really “grinding me down,” so to speak.
But your patience will be rewarded. Test documents and files will be sent out….
IN TWO WEEKS!!
Nope, just kidding. puts on serious face I would like to thank you guys for the patience on the project thus far. Leech is right, I do have other obligations aside from Falcon, but aside from that, I find myself polishing and tweaking and fixing and bug hunting and polishing and tweaking… obsessive-compulsive I can be sometimes. I am sick of it.
So, to those who have signed up for testing before general public release, look for an email by 1400 GMT+1 tomorrow, June 16 at the latest. I am now putting a couple more last-minute tweaks to the instructions and looking for a file-hosting service, so iFlyBMS will be with you shortly.
Thanks!

I’m sure ice doesn’t need some kind of bodyguard, you know…
Ice,
As you have guessed, I was not pressuring you, but more showing you support (and you Ice, know that my support wasnt only easy “words”) and letting you know some people care about what you are doing.
Thanks a lot for the informations ice, much appreciated

What do you need to host -Ice?
Maybe I can be of service?
Let me know.
Back around 12:00 CET. -
Hey guys. Emails will be sent out shortly. Ice, thanks for the offer of hosting, I’ll let you know if I need it. (Weird, that felt like I was talking to myself!) I’ll be using MediaFire for the initial release to testers, but may need more “allowance” later once released. Depends on the number of Falcon flyers with iPads I guess.
Shung, again, your help was much appreciated, thank you. Same goes to the others that have donated. I hope the program will be of help and will increase the immersion of flying the Falcon.

spazz, bluc69, LeechNL and Sqwaller, if you guys are still interested in testing, PM me your emails please.
-
wow.
installed and working…
but now I am gonna need a couple of hours to get a .key file with all the callbacks working… few
I understand why it took you so long. Its an awesome piece of software dude !

Done

Editing the .key file should be an easy (although time-consuming) task. If there are any problems, concerns, or questions, hit me up on the email provided in the instructions document.
-
Still hunting down some small bugs Ice, but its really a great tool !
-
That looks like a seriously good setup I would like to have active on my desk as well.
Could you talk about some details Shung?I still have this 24’ touchscreen waiting to be put to use.
-
well, its not rocket science
just have a 2nd monitor…
there, BMS exports the MFDs and DED… on top of the monitor I have 2 thrustmaster MFD’s… all the other instruments there are exported with MFD extractor… and finally, the ICP stuff on the Ipad is exported with IFlyBMS
-
And the iPad is the only “touch” in there?
-
I would think so… there isn’t much for “touch” necessity in the F-16’s instrument panel, and I got most of it on iFlyBMS. Maybe you could put the left/right consoles on the 24" and do a totally no-mouse rampstart?
Shung, curious how you mounted the iPad on the monitor though… and the MFDs too for that matter. I got mine double-sided taped to the monitor, but that is taped along two edges so it just flexes a bit when I use the OSBs that are away from the edge, but the MFDs don’t touch the monitor surface.
-
the iPad, and of course all the MFD’s OSB’s
All the other things are “instruments” which arent meant to be anything else or be touched, anyway.
the montinor is on a slight slope… id say something like 15°… so everything stays there by gravity… they cant move left or right, because as you see the hooks that are holding the monitor to m aker barnes cockpit are blocking them.
the Ipad (and its griffith neoprene case) just stands above the mfd’s, and the added weight helps keping the mfds rock steady…
everthing touches the monitor, but doesnt damage it at all anyway…

Made a donation for this perfect app.

Just bought an iPad, and I’m uber-willing to test this baby, or else, just let me know where to pay
-
can’t wait for the release…i already bought the MFD’s but am really waiting for the clickable ICP.
nothing is more frustrating than having to let go of the stick when egressing at 500 ft while dodging SAM’s just because i need the mouse to change STP… -
The wait is almost over guys. I’ve released a test version a few weeks ago and I think it is almost ready for public distribution. Just a few tweaks on the instruction manual to make sure everything goes smoothly during the install, then maybe a horizontal version for those who prefer flying that way. I will do the refining of the manual, but the horizontal version will be done later. Unfortunately, I have not been able to do much work on the other parts of the guide (RWR symbols, threat guides) since I don’t have much time between work and family.
I am on annual leave next week so hopefully I can do what needs to be done then, and release before the weekend so that you guys can have fun with iFlyBMS over your weekend flights.
To those with extra funds burning a hole in your pocket, donations are highly appreciated. You will find a link on my blog page (is it not working?), or hit me up with a PM. To those with no money, I am providing iFlyBMS for free although you will need to purchase an iPad app to use it.

iFlyBMS is now ready for public release! Enjoy!
