Hi, Compadres,
Copckit of the CF-188 repaired, position 4 and 5 of the TGP remodeled, and new skins at 4096, ready for take-off …
Problem: In the database, at least in Korea KTO, three sets of skins must be declared, but we only have one slot. The result is that there are two of the games in which the plane appears red or green …
Any ideas how to repair this?
Fresco
Hi, Fresco,
Nice work. Your problem does give new meaning to the name “Red Baron” ;).
Seriously , though, I have referred your question to the Mafia Brethren, to see if we can help. You’re also welcome to visit our Discord. You can get quicker answers there. -

Good Day, All,
It’s been awhile since I put in an update, and I have some good news…
Brothers Kaos, Ronin, and Eddie have been working hard on the ground performance aspect of the Hornet’s Flight Model( taxing , braking, and landing) on both land and ship. I was just flight testing the new database and I think you’re going to like the changes. I know I do!
At the same time, we’re also working on the sound package, and that’s very nice, too!
We wanted to get into testing, so our “testing skin” is a bit rough. I mentioned to Ronin that I’d love the skin for Christmas Seriously though, we need to get that sorted out . But, we hope to have something in the Mafia Files soon.PS: To Dev’s and Theater Devs: We are approaching this in ways that you can easily include this in your projects

A few screens of our ongoing ‘Project Bug’. We (FM, Fighters Mafia) have just finished a good stable ground dynamics model. Audio files (internal and external) have been replaced and are immersive for this new module. We hope you enjoy this aircraft as much as the passion to bring it forward has been!!!
The flight model will be released at a later date, as there has been a lot work for the realization of this to come true. So, upon release enjoy this labor of love, and the accurate FM to go with it, in ‘a few Falcon weeks’ . . .
-
Very cool work! Do keep me posted. When you’re talking about flight model, does that include the FLCS? Or are you tuning the behaviour versus the F16 FLCS?
-
@tumbler31
Yes, the Hornet FM and the FLCS will be adjusted to bring forward ‘real world’ values. Mav-jp had extended out to us that he would assist us in the editing of the ‘hardcode’ for the Hornet, when we are ready. That time is approaching . . . -
Hey Mafia folks, don’t you have any interesting in adding some material to the official BMS?
You know, we have a lot of things that are kinda missing:
- F15 cockpit is porked;
- F18 cockpit could be improved;
- A-10 cockpit could be improved;
- F-5 cockpit does not exist
(those are the main planes in KTO for blue side)
I wonder if you guys would have any interest in that?

@seifer
I personally am looking forward to completely refreshing the Hornet’s cockpit. Currently I’m going through and either increasing the resolution and/or improving the 3D presentation of the Bug pit. Eventually, we will be implementing a proportionally correct cockpit and all of the required switches (BMS variables permitting) to enhance the immersion factor of this ‘Other Fighter’!!! -
@tgw hello, this 3D mesh is great ! Is it yours ?
-
Fighter Mafia peeps! If you could provide 2D images of the front dash and all panels for a proper Helios BMS Hornet profile would be awesome.

Hi, Seifer,
To both your questions, a resounding yes! Putting the Mafia Stuff into the main BMS install is not really in our control, but we are hopeful for the future. Meanwhile, we try to do “our things” in way that the Membership can do without being computer programmers. Plus, we have talked among ourselves about making installers for those who don’t like to mess with files and such.
Also, we are the BMS Other Fighters Mafia so we’re interested in all the jets. In, fact, we’re working on a couple of others right now. Please don’t take our current focus on the Bug as lack of interest in the other jets. There are two reasons for that focus. First , we feel that after the Viper, the Hornet is what most members want, and thus we can help more people quicker. But the main reason is we continue to , as I’ve come to call it, “build the infrastructure”. We’re learning how to use CFD and such, and it’s easier to do that and to test, when working with one platform. However, what we’re learning in the Hornet will also be used in other jets. For example, I am currently learning to use a utility Brother Musurca gave me to work with cockpit hotspots. My first experiment will be to move the HMD knob from Map Gain to the actual IFEI knob. That is something that is directly transferable to the other jets. -

@jackal nothing at all, I just don’t see it in KTO.
-
I already knew it, I was only joking.
But they are in the db too, IIRC. So my - joking - question, nothing else.
I will follow this carefully, though, as drtbkj already knows.With best regards.

@jackal said in Project Bug and the Other Fighters Mafia:
Hey, mate, what do you all have against the Tornado, may I ask?
With best regards.
Hi, Jackal, The Tornado is on The List!
-
Hello,
Isn’t the Tornado already one of the best non-F-16 aircraft in the database ?

@drtbkj
Thanks a lot for this yours, fra’, we had no doubts about here.
And I’m here for anything you may need, you can count on that.With my best wishes for the New Year coming and regards.

@radium
You remember well, as your usual though.
There still is some questionable and weird AC data about their version - the ECR most of all - but it isn’t the proper topic to discuss that now. They are.With best regards.

@jackal Hello,
I understand your point of view ! But from the modeling perspective, Tornado looks perfect to me !
Cheers,
Radium
