BMS F18 A and C upgrade - community involvement
-
It has it’s own flight model but the FLCS is the f-16s
Ah, ok so basically, avionics and the way you operate the aircraft will be F-16 ones but the FM will be new for the aircraft. Cool. That’s a very good improvement already
Cheers…

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…
Fighter Ops only took money from the naive who wanted the title “cool kid”. Seven G has already released a Beta and is working on its final release for some time this year/early next year (per their faq) contrary to your absolute statement. It seems Seven G is getting pretty close to proving you dead wrong.
Still, putting the two on the same plateau is grossly unfair.
To me, the only thing good about Fighter Ops is the result of research/work done by former developers that may or may not be helping with this sim.

Yes-current F/A-18Cs have that capability-that sim is looking good! and I’m a Tomcat guy lol.

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
To be honest…no, not really. I mean i am a cat guy, and a decade and a half ago it became quite clear to me that no turkey sim will ever come out. At least not one with the level of detail like the old fleet defender. And add to that the fact that i like comparing different ACs…so i am a proponent of a joint platform, that would unite at least a dozen planes. Now, i may never have my cat the way i want it, but at least i’ll have some of it

New TRACK IR integration:
HUD “target radar diamond” is really well made!!!
Nice! Is that a different sim or BMS?

It says Seven-G on the video.

just a thought guys…
(to the BMS team)
Do you guys plan to impliment the “shaking” within the cockpit when the aircraft is under high g’s. Nice effect that.
I am going to say something stupid now - but I would have thought it wouldn’t be too hard to include?
just watched that video above and saw it in action there and its in freefalcon too.
would be REALLY nice.
(no doubt one of a million requests!!!)

@Jammer:

Sure I know, but I thought that might be a work name for a project (which in that case could just as well be a BMS project, but I understand now that it isn’t).

Slow-motion behavior for the landing gear -
Is this project dead?
Is the F-18 still being worked on?

Its being worked on, ETA approx 3-4 Falcon weeks.
-
What is a falcon week?
I’ve only started playing. I assume that means 3-4 months?

It means it’s ready when it’s ready

Ah so thats how it is
Shame, I wanted to fly an f-18 sim…
ready when its ready means “never coming out” 99.9% of the time.

Well, let me suggest to you the following. Read this thread post by post, and concentrate on posts by Bonedust. You’ll pick up some clues. I went to a fortune teller today and she told me we’ll fly the new F-18 this year! so don’t let your spirit down, it may be released tomorrow or for New Year or maybe in early 2013 (fortune tellers are full of BS ) but it will be. Keep the faith!

With some luck we will have both F-18s… SevenG’s stuff really looks yummy would be a shame for it to go to waste
-
Well BMS was out in 3-4 falcon weeks or fwiks…
Lol put it in bevirty fwiks falcon weeks :rofl: oh don’t forget Betag’s… -

I’m really happy that the hornet-drought is coming to an end. We’ll soon hit the flood…
