Suggestion for database, data supply
-
Not exactly a data supply, just because interesting.
I do not know what resulted this - maybe the increased flare qty. - but AI sometimes use quite well dispensers without any interaction.
AI sometimes can use unguided rockets sometimes not. This was captured in a campaign, I was not in the flight.

I think it’s a damn shame so many folks want to crap on Molni’s work.
Focus on making the sim better, not on who it is that does the work to make it so.
These folks should just shut up and play the tough/wise-guy somewhere else because nobody will stop Molni no matter how hard they try => and they try it since years I think? If they want to argue with someone to death just because of ego-reasons or -proof something to the world do it somewhere else. This a modern disease which came with the internet.
Molni you have my respect for your work and my support.

Molni is doing good job but has proved in the past that he can’t work in a TEAM substructure like BMS is.
I have nothing against him and do consider his work. He has (IMO) quite good sources and empiric knowledges and I like to talk with him.However, his statements are not always true, but nobody can say that he is always true. Depends on so many things… and sometimes point of view. But that is not the problem. Important is not to be 100% true or false, it is to be coherent with the TEAM direction and priorities.
But obviously, he did irritated some guys from the other side and (for good or bad reasons, thats is not the questions) and they do not want to deal with him.
(Sometimes, you have to choose a camp … he did that choice some time ago… I did also.)Some of us are also anxious about what could happens inside if he is reacting the same than he does in the past…
It has been noticed that very good effort has been made from his side but that will be certainly not enough for team integration.
But … It does not mean that what he is doing and all its remarks are not taken seriously in account and are not considered by the team. And be sure that he is not doing all that stuff for nothing at all. We will give credits to his work if we choose to implement it, entirely or, in some aspects. And he knows that.
Deep reasons are internal, and I see no reason to talk about that further longer. (that would change nothing anyway) …
But who knows … someday maybe … time goes by …
@Monli: If you are still conformable with that, do not hesitate to continue suggestions (not too fast, it is very hard to follow you sometimes ;)) … no one will promise you anything about integration, but be sure that we are reading it and discuss it internal. Sometimes a big yes, sometimes a big no. But do not think it is different for team members proposing and suggesting stuff … it is the same story for all of us.
@ALL: I gave you small info and quick explanations.
So please, do not start into a big (flamed) discussion… Keep that thread as good as it is … let Monlibalage using wisely this area for his suggestions.Some will not agree with him, it is their right (and that is good also) … let Monli express himself and give more explanations if necessary. It is a hard and long work … yes … this is how it does work also internal.
Thank you everybody!

I did not stopped post them forever I just have another project that have a deadline, therefore all tweaking activity is stopped for a while. I’m working on a huge article for HTKA.hu about F-15. At end of July will be the 40th anniverysary of its first flight. I wish to finish - better term end writing and release - a coherent stuff. Current status is 250k characters, 110 pages, ~100 attachments (docs, videos) and the end is quite far. If everything will be as good as I planned, I will refly some of Streak Eagle rerocds with BMS4 appropriate skin.
(IMHO the stuff is so unique, that even in English you cannot find similar stuff. I’m using dozens of books, RL maunals and hundreds of other sources to put the “most dense” content that I can. You can find smaller parts in many sources but in a single soruce - with deeper explanaiton you cannot.)
After that I back to slowly to BMS4 but I need a bit rest… Since the lates year I just tweaked BMS4 and wrote article for HKTA.hu…
Before posting more tweaks, first I will “finish” Korea '80s. This mean two campaigns, minor fixes and upgrades and who loves the AMRAAM era, will be made Korea '90s theater either. They will be based on '80s campaign with minor differencies. One campaigns for each theater will be Eurowar, to see how it works BMS4 if I used modified role scores and OPFOR have almost equal stuff in cetain situations. (This means a Cold War situation in '80s).

Has any of the chaff flare mods for the .dat been implemented in the latest BSM updates?
If not, I’m going to add them to my DB. Great work Molinibalage and thanks for the intensive thread, Awesome.
Cheers,
Coco

Some will be.

How does one edit the simulation data? I’ve been editing the the data files using the BMS editor and some of the items, particularly the air-air weapons categories don’t make sense. Then, what about the simdata folder? The data for the weapons specifically the sensor type and version numbers don’t match with the sensor numbers in the BMS editor. One of the “heaters” in the data list refers to a sensor that doesn’t even correspond to those listed in the BMS editor file. ie, IR sensor 62. BMS Editor only lists 60 IR sensors.
-
Some of (maybe many) entries in DB and/or .dat files are no longer used by the code. Some other works significantly different from older versions of falcon4.
-
Are you speaking about my edits or stock files? I have spoken about this with Mav-Jp. some of my forwarded or uploaded files came from Korea '80s where I set new sensor number in dat file because in DB I created new IR data entires.
With inbuilt editor you cannot edit dat files in \data\sim, you have to do it manually. BTW I do not use editor, I’m still using F4Browse. That stuff is good engouh, at least for me.
-
It doesn’t matter whether it is your data or the stock data, I noticed in both that if the sensor is not found, the engine will use the default sensor which has a 180 degree aspect angle? Though I have no verified this with 100% certainty. Though that might explain why some missiles maintain track while flying parallel to the target when they should not. I have not used F4Browse.
-
Please name exact missiles. During my tweaks I did not found any bug for generally used missiles.
-
MICA IR: DAT file has Seeker version 58 with FOV and Aspect in reasonable limits but in BMS editor, IR #58 has seeker range=80nm, FOV=180deg, Aspect=180deg, flare chance 15%. Super seeker head that’s easily fooled?
-
So far - as I understand - you spoke about wroing ICD - dat file connection. Now you mention a DB modeling issue. Yes, this is a very big issue. DB is filled more than just this.
-
So the WCD and dat file refer to 2 different sensors? As my earlier question, which is used? If both, which has priority?
-
For which missile? You confuse me…
-
Perhaps this is not the best thread to ask these questions, but it does not matter which missile is correct or incorrect if you know which database the falcon engine uses. Once you know which is the correct resource to change then you can begin to fix the problem.

Updated the post with envelope diagram.

Who is blagrunner?

looks good.
which switch or dof is associated to 1st stage part?
