BMS F18 A and C upgrade - community involvement
-
I’m really looking forward to the release of this updated aircraft & I’m sure there are others (like myself) who are climbing the walls with bloody fingertips to fill that void left from Janes.
For those of you who have/are slaving to get this thing done, thanks just isn’t enough for your efforts.

I second that DMH.
Trouble is, life has an annoying way of “getting in the way”. I’ve volunteered my help before with artwork for skins (freefalcon and openfalcon) and I tell you - suddenly you have to drop it for business - freelance and general family life. A two week job becomes 2 months.
(I’m sure Wavey Dave can chime in here)
Its tough going and agonising for us as we love this sim and everything contributed.
I just wish I new how to program! But I imagine that being even longer and more time consuming!!!
This sim made me setup my little business. (JoyLoc)
“thanks” just doesn’t seem enough does it!!!?!
If this sim was an off the shelf product – I wouldn’t hesitate to buy it!

What about “Seven G”? Looks good but I haven’t seen any news of its progress lately.

All similar project never be finished. Why? Because creating for 0 a flight sim as a hobby is not possible. There is not enogh time to do it. Just check Fighter Ops…

Take care about what you are saying mate! Remember your statements about BMS on F.L.A.R.E. blog …
… the future of OF line is pretty much in darkness. 4.8 has been developed for years and still is nowhere.
I do not understand why the BMS line is preferred. FF have much bigger potentilan. Literally nothing improved in OF since 4.5 or 4.7, the OF code is very very old, comparing with OF.
Yes, BMS4 can be a wonderful thing but it is only an uncertain promise. There are many theater and campaigns under construction for FF. Most of them can use zour tiles + MolnyFalcon.
What projects are running for OF?
We could see only some leaked stuff from BMS4. This was 6 month ago. This broke 4 years of silnece. Did we see more? No.
The “4.8″ topics on GF forum how old? Where is 4.8? Nowhere.
About 6 month ago mav-jp said that DB of BMS4 will be literraly the same as current OF (if BMS will be ever released…) OF4.8 is only a promise BMS4 is something like that.
etc…
So … better wait for official statement from SevenG team wait wait wait … and maybe one day … surprise release!

Fantastic work guys, just wondering of a release date for the F18’s, or a rough estimate. Anyway, thanks and fantastic work!

New TRACK IR integration:
HUD “target radar diamond” is really well made!!!

The only issue that i see with seven G is they have no plans to open the doors with a working multiplayer option (sevenG confirmed so far) thats going to be a big negative for the VFS that watn to run it.
It does look VERY pretty though

No multiplayer is a no-no for me, I wouldn’t buy it.

Agreed which is why it strikes me as strange, i mean those guys have to know what waits for them if they dont open a multiplayer functional sim. Another thing that strike me strange is the way the wingmen operate in some of the you tubes they have put up, they sure look like their human pilots but hey computers can do pretty impressive things these days.
Maybe thier just holding the MP stuff in thier back pocket for now, but im with you no MP isnt getting any cash outta this guy
-
Just to add to that… Even if they did a multiplayer a lot of pilots will still want what only Falcon4 can offer… a dynamic campaign. There are plenty of members here who after a few months of flying other sims have come back to F4(BMS)… I believe until another sim comes out with a multiplayer / dynamic campaign then F4 will continue to rule the roost.

Isn’t Seven-G going to be free, or did I miss something somewhere?

Hi I am going to ask a question to all you hornet people here. This is a VERY genuine and honest question as I would really like to know the way you guys think Aren’t you bothered by the fact that you are flying an f-16 gift wrapped as a Hornet? I have been with this sim for 5 years and BMS installs for 2.5 or so (through 87th) and have tried M2000s, F-18s or F-15s but the moment I step in the pit I am NEVER ever satisfied with the fact that it is after all not a Hornet (neither FM nor the avionics) and that psychological fact ruins it for me. How do you guys cope up with it? (I am assume most of you are realism nuts like me) otherwise this does not apply.
I am a die-hard Eagle fan but every time I try to get it off the runway… something is missing and that is it is not even close to an F-15 (avionics / FM) so I stick with viper. Forget getting it up in the air. Just one look at the Viper hud in place of F-15 ruins it for me.
Maybe you guys use some mind trick with flying Hornets that I can use to enjoy the Eagle? Please do share if there is one or more
Just curiously interested
P.S. I am not saying that BMS should develop those other planes more. I understand what is. Rather the other way around. I would easily exchange ALL of flyable planes in BMS for an F-16A avionics any day

… that’s why I do (personally) fly F-16 ONLY, since BMS is (still for the moment) an F-16 sim ;).
If would fly an A-10, I would buy DCS A-10.
For sure, guys searching for max realism do not have the choice …. it is F-16.
But maybe, one day, F-18 could be better implemented… unfortunately, even if avionics could fit one day with the real thing, FLCS will remain F-16. (unless we found more info, and MavJP redo all its great work) … IMO, need at least several years more…

There were abot 0 info about BMS4. About 7G there were regular updates. After about half decade develpoment F/A-18C is not functional. What about dozens of other AC and vehicles what is required? What about AI, theater (map), campaign system, weapon modeling, etc. I do not expect to get someting playable.

Isn’t SevenG an F/A-18C simulator? I saw JHMCS and I presume an AIM-9X in that video. Or was it more like the AIM-132 ASRAAM?
-
Funny, I was under the impression this model would have it’s own flight model separate from the F-16. Is that not the case?
Cheers…

Gent’s,
I need to know if the new BUG will be fully ramp startable from the pit???
If not,then I’ll have to make some adjustment’s to Guam HvH\PvP MP Scenario.
(Gotta’ keep it somewhat fair)TIA,
