Krause's BMS 4.32 Tutorials
-
First of all, I wish to thank you for this very useful topic, and a very good tutorials. Although I’m not new in flight simulations in the Falcon BMS 4.32 I did in the beginning. I watched tutorials and looking at the forum, but I haven’t found where you reading given (planned) course/heading of stage of the route? Such information is not in the mission planner/scheduler, and when the simulation starts, in navigation mode can’t find which is planned bearing to the next steerpoint. For example in DCS: A-10C is to be checked like this
In the Jet, the planned heading isn’t something you can bring up like in the DCS:A10C. However, before you’re flight while your still in the 2-D map, click on the briefing button at the bottom of the screen. Read down the briefing page at your flight plan. You will get planned TOS, headings, speed, and angels. You’ll have to print it out, or write them down though.

He can also use Weapon Delivery Planner to get the navigation log on the datacard

And that’s a much pretty format for printing too

THX Sovien and Dee-Jay these are very useful information. I seem to have overlooked this information in the briefing page. WDP looks very nice, and seems to have great potential. Certainly should to try it.
Does this mean, that in the cockpit, we can’t be checked bearing (using ICP/DED)? -
I would also like to say a big thank you for the great training videos. They are very very helpful to a newbie.
I would be grateful if you could clarify one item in the A2A MFD training session. I have searched everywhere in the forums and on the web and can’t find it. Is the Maltese Cross shown in the image below where the radar is actually “looking” in relation to the locked up target? With apologies if I have missed it.Click on it to enlarge the image

CATA (collision antenna training angle) can act weird like that in the screenshot sometimes: it’s a bug. otherwise it should be indicating where you should fly towards in order to collide with your locked target.

Many thanks Moort and Bushmaster78S for explaining that. Don’t know what we would do with all the help from this forum. Some of the answers can’t be found by just searching.

This is exactly what I needed as a complete non-pilot

Be A Good Wingman tutorial added to the OP

Awesome. Thank you!
One question: You fly with the jammer on constantly. I was under the impression that it’s better not to do this because then the enemy can lock onto the jammer itself? Perhaps in BMS there are no adverse effects of leaving it on?

@Mud:

Jammer has one disadvantage: you can be spotted at longer range than if you were not jamming. Also, it allows “home on jam” from active missiles like aim-120/adder.
Advantages: takes longer for someone to lock onto you, and the range at which they can is decreased.

Krause, can you add a tutorial video on using JSOWs? BTW, your air-to-air refueling video was every helpful. I was finally able to hook up. For me, that’s the first time since Falcon 4.0 came out.

JSOW work exactly like agm-65.

Hosting And Connecting to a Multiplayer Server tutorial added to OP

Good Job Krause. Usefull for many new (and old) guys.
PS: At 7:30 in your video - if you host you and even if you dont intend to host IVC and uncheck the IVC boxes, enter the 127.0.0.1 IP anyways under your
Dedicated IVC Server field or ATC Tower repsonses might not work. We ran into this in Redflag.
For dogfight matchplays this doesnt matter though…Allow me to link to further detailed information: http://falconworkshop.org/teamarcher/index.php?topic=139.0
