BMS Vietnam 4.35.1.2
-
Update:
our team is excited to announce Vietnam Version 4.35.1.2. Version 1.2 is a whole new installer and not compatible with any previous version. Big thanks to CCC, Smartaxe and Jackal for their work on Vietnam. All carrier aircraft now operate as well as the F/A-18. New vintage aircraft added so that US Aircraft composition in campaigns now match actual timeframes as depicted in campaigns. New TEs by Jackal to enhance your experience and give you a chance to feel historical missions in the same manner USAF and ARVN pilots did in the real world historical conflict.

Thanks a lot to dearest Chuckles for his kind words of appreciation for that few I was able to made this theater so great.
Thanks a lot as well to our team and the awesome results - The Gang RULE.To all of you, Gentlemen: I tried to make the pilots flying those four historical replica missions the feelings of the military escalation during the whole Vietnam War ages, since the first one (“Operation Barrel Roll, 1964”), which was a cover operation.
Please all note that, for realism sake, fuel management skills are required in all of them, and at this condition they are flyable.I (together with our team) sincerely hope that you all will have fun not only with them, but with the whole theater, more than simply fit to all purposes, tactical training too, and really challenging for its landscape variety.
My apologies in advance for those errors I in case made, but in good faith.What more?
Ah, yes. Enjoy!
With best regards to all.

Jackal’s “Linebacker 1972” te = wall of SAMs…
I missed these guys and didn’t live to regret it.
This one is pretty hard for sure. No terrain in this area to hide from SAMs -
“He” and his sharp little eyes are back!
Welcome to the party, dearest Ed.
Hope you haven’t made too many folks there happy too much.They missed you too, you know.
Gianni.

Just installed the .2 version and I must be doing something stupid in the F4. Land based Taxi is fine, TO roll is fine, but when I rotate at ~200kts and gear up the plane gets damaged, loses power and shuts down…? Maybe dragging the drop tanks on TO?
EDIT: Just had a thought so popped back into same campaign mission but removed the 2 370 gal drop tanks and took off without issue so maybe they were hitting when I rotated on TO? After a bit I figured I would watch the rotation from a side external view with the tanks on and it took off just fine, seems like it fixed itself somehow and I feel like the kid who cried wolf…

Well, you brought some attention to some ground based f4 issues… I think it’s squared away a bit more now anyway.
Hot fix is going to be on first post… I just gave it to Chuckles. -

Hot fix is going to be on first post… I just gave it to Chuckles.Nice, so flaps at <150kts is the way to go?
On another note, WDP and Helios have no Vietnam map selection, am I missing something? They both default to Korea… -

That’s a shot of a standard mk82 (I think)

Link also added to first page.Thanks Chuckles, hotfix applied! So strange that I went back and was successful taking off without the tanks, then tried it with the tanks again and had no issues… Now if we just get the Vietnam maps for WDP (Kneemap) and Helios (CPD Moving Map) all will be well in the world…

Hey Chuckles/Smartaxe, just ran a few more land based F-4D missions out of Udorn with the Hotfix and a few anomalies popped up. First thing I noticed is she didn’t want to rotate up on TO unless I dropped the flaps, even over 200kts. With flaps down (1/2) she launched fine. Once airborn my A/P worked fine (Strg Sel/ATT Hold) using my switch panel, don’t see an A/P switch in the pit so maybe the F4 didn’t have it? At any rate I can hear the switch click when I use it. About 1/2 way to 1st SP it just stopped working. This has happened twice in last two missions, maybe an avionics fault as I do get a warning and the DED shows:
STA 9 DEGR
STA 1 FAIL
STA 9 FAIL
Another oddity was that I had 4 A-7E2 Sparrows loaded, 4 AIMs, and two 370 gal drop tanks. When the drop tanks were MT I tried using the S/J on the RMFD but could not choose stations. Using my Emer Jett button (on my Warthog) the tanks dropped. Ordered my #2 to Drop Stores and his dropped. The odd this is it also seems to have dropped 1 Sparrow (from both of us) when the tanks jettisoned…
That’s it for now!Edit: I ‘think’ that when I loaded a jammer pod it knocked one of the Sparrows off, so disregard the “jettisoned Sparrow” comment above Please accept my thanks and appreciation for this map, my input is not meant in any way as bitching, just trying to help make this mod better!

Smartaxe has fixed the WDP lack of a Vietnam map (pic attached), just need to get Helios on board for the CPD display… :). Now I need to start a new campaign as BMS locks up (no CTD, just freezes and does not respond) at ~Day 2, 04:00 every time, can’t get past it….

Is there any plan to make a detailed F-4 cockpit? Thanks!

Hi, P,
In a way, yes, as files to put the Viper or Hornet pit in it will be in the Mafia Files in a few days. As for tweaking the stock pit, that’s going to take longer -
