Sorry, for the edit, there was a misalignment issue that has been resolved in the wing textures, enjoy!

Thank you jayb! This is ‘the reason’ we (OFM) push forward with this sim! The dedication of the Falcon4 BMS userbase for ‘the other assets’ within this fine simulation!!! I am grateful for those who came before us (Yes, Hasbro, you too, lol) that have established a aviation combat sim platform that has survived (you hear that , ‘the other airquake combat sim’ ) for over 20+ years! I have been very fortunate to respond to the gentle nudging, (AirWolf and Cantoo) to return and really push for the naval aviation side of this EXCELLENT SIM! Again, I really appreciate those who are following this thread and enjoy the naval aspect of F4-BMS, as much as you do!
“Home, is where ‘the boat’ is!”
PS: The Hornet’s physics will be a slow (ground model is complete!) but, a progressive fix to bring it’s immersion factor (BMS variables, limiting) up there with our BIG brother, the Viper!!
PSS: Please join us (on our Discord [https://discord.gg/kQQT7WgwhH ], as that area is updated more frequently with our projects, thanks!
Well, Dude, I’m glad you consider it *gentle * nudging

Good Day, All, here’s the latest Mafia Update…
As you can see, we are doing skinning at the moment. Brothers Ronin and Kaos have been busting their tail sections, and the results show that. Beyond that the in-flight flight model is still being worked on.
As previously mentioned, the ground performance flight modeling for the Hornet has been completed. We had given some thought to releasing that part, but have decided to release it all at once, when everything is done. So, it’s a “3-4 Mafia Week” thing.
Other news is that last night we discussed looking at “skinning” and “paint kits”, where you can customize your jet of choice. For example, honorary Mafioso Seb wants the VFC-12 Fighting Omars skin. -
Sorry for the image edits, but LERXs did not have their textures in last post! Enjoy. Have a great weekend!!!

Looking really promising guys! Can’t wait to try out your hard work.
Just a heads up, the link to the OFM Discord is broken, any chance of a new link that does not have a time or use limit?

Good Day, All,
There is a new link to the Mafia Discord. It’s https://discord.gg/WDFhckSnzv and it’s now in my Signature -
Good News!! Our CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) work will be proceeding to “Step-2” (Step-1 was the validation test of known aifoils & conditions (verified by wind tunnel data)! This stage will be the needed infrastructure that was mentioned by drtbkj, and will be the basis by which all the current or future ‘other’ aircraft of BMS will eventually compared against.
Stay tuned, as things will be picking up momentum for what we have all been hoping for with those ‘other planes’ of BMS. Cheers!

@tgw
Great news

@tgw
That sounds cool - can you share what that CFD will allow you to do ?
Cheers,

Yessir, using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) will allow us to produce pretty accurate Flight Models for ‘the other’ BMS aircraft. Doing this will increase the fidelity factors (immersion and performance) of these aircraft in the simulator.

Check out (via your favorite search engine) the likes of the following CFD packages, to get an idea of what we have been doing over the last 6 months or so, to accomplish this task . . . Enjoy!

@tgw
Impressive, very BMS-esque to go all in on details like this.

Dude … What have you done!!!It looks like there is a “BUG” on that pic
Cheers
p.s. what we were talking 'bout … that former AIC analyst
Here you deserve it !! -

“Confirmed”, ‘cha-ching’, good find there Fang (you da man!)! LOL

Preparing FM data for ‘application’ (Step-3) for a FoM (‘friend of the Mafia’, his equipment is already present in BMS, so this OFM process is staying ‘in-house’, which everyone will be able to enjoy). But good things are coming for ‘the other aircraft’ FM’s for BMS!! Stay tuned . . .

this project is amazing

Simcenter FloEFDWell… nice, thanks a lot.
And, already said or not this, I (too) just can’t await to get it.
Even better, instead: please count me, if you kindly wish, among the testers. I would like to be of any help for you.With best compliments and regards.
