Santa's wishlist for BMS

So, more seriously now.
Would it be more complex, for the devs., adding or allowing in the Mission Editor the faculty of adding/changing a name to any waypoint each?
That only “TGT” one, assigned to its own waypoint, is really disappointing since 20 years of development.
This apart from the consideration that having a 2D map still nowadays is… terrible! And making our “competitors” (who? when? where?) making great larfs at usBut I am almost sure that we will get all of these above in Falcon 4.3(…).
So, Merry Christmas in advance to all of us, Gentlemen!With best regards.

Very seriously, we arestill using real charts/maps nowadays that are 2D (not practical to draw a 3d paper map with a pencil). What is nice with that method is that it doesn’t require electric power.
About WTP name, it is rather a matter of UI, and as you should know as an old Falcon guy, UI need total rework. Any modification is true nightmare and have large impacts.
DCS user can laugh no prob (laughing is good for health).
As long as DCS AIs are not able to properly recover and land on an airbase without stupidly orbiting on runway axis and colliding … etc … , I prefer by far BMS UI than DCS AIs. -
Thanks a lot for your kind attention and quick reply to this mine, dear friend (how you, BTW?).
I agree on all yours, and this told not because “this had to be so because it’s him stating that”, but because you are far experienced in real life and are one of the Seniors. Or before being that, as I prefer to believe about.
So you are one of those can tell and testify to anyone how Falcon is and works, and how many efforts you and all the other devs. spent in making, and improving, our simulator as good as it is nowadays, not to mention how much better it will be since the near future.
I still owe you that, and this is my chance to thanks you for all you did and you are still doing, in spite of all real life is bringing and asking from you (as well as it is for all of other us, I guess).About using maps in real life… I too (in a different kind of job, of course) am using the same ones as you are, truth to be told.
But the same… oh, that one was only a Christmas wish, after all.
I never had the willing to impose anything to anyone (here at least… ), please you and all believe me on that.And about that DCS… what is it, by the way?
With best regards and have a nice day, mate.

Dude…!
You know when the jealous kids in the playground laugh, you can pity them for that which they do not have, yet so sadly seek.

I would like to see animated ramp crew….

@molnibalage switchology and operation of the F-16 ECM panel only. The rest of DCS’s jammer modeling, like most of the stuff under the hood, is simplified.
Switchology isnt right either, they just guessed

I can believe that too, I’d assume that’s part of the reason BMS didn’t attempt it before as a well since there is a lack unclassified documentation on it.

Request to change EF-2000 RWR symbol from ‘E’ to ‘EF’ as per RL (for ALR-93 at least) when possible.
Implementation of jamming and dispense chevrons for RWR threats. -
set g_npercentage_available_aircraft 100 // Determines what proportion of your squadron's roster will be available (in %)
Same setting for general fragging (including AI ATO), to throttle the intensity of aircrafts use in a campaign.

Please add DLINK to the HAF Block 50 aircrafts… Thank you!

…
And what about adding AMI (Italian Air Force) Eurofighters/Typhoons/EFAs to the database?
We too have ours, you know. As Spanish Airforce do, by the way.With best regards.

Compadre, Santa has come early . We are about to release an OFM-Balkans Theater and just for you Brother Eddie is putting in your Italian jet

@drtbkj
Really, Fra’?
Pretty nice, then, thanks a lot.But why didn’t tell me that before? That’s my home, and I would even been able to tell you something about that area…
With best compliments and regards.

Goood…, I just kinda miss those skins for my Balkans campaign… hehehehehe - or I could just ask NICELY for them … pfft
Anyway, Thanks a bunch!!!

@FireWind does the Block 50 HAF have datalink in real life?
-
@cougar56th
Now that is my question also , since (in Balkans) I never had HAF planes on d/l , even they flew AA/SEAD escort flights.
???
Heh , where are you Greeks now… ? Spill the beans!!
D/L or NO D/L for youCheers

Is it possible to get a command that puts your AI wing / element / flight into a holding pattern at that location?
I currently use RTB but obviously that puts more space between you and 3/4 than is ideal. The ability to have 3/4 standoff in a safe location but near enough to assist would be neat.
Don’t know if it’s possible, or if anyone else even sees a benefit.
Cheers!

@lew0984
Try the command “flex”.
If I remember correctly, they will fly one circle and then rejoin. -
@Amadeus75 I use this for my number two all the time. I have him flex while I trespass a Sam WEZ and then have him engage the sam with a harm from outside the WEZ while I weasel it.
What would be good though is to have 3 and 4 holding on a point further out. Far enough to remain outside the Sam’s WEZ but close enough to provide threat cover if required or to roll them in on any additional ground units.
Currently I’ll give them an RTB command as I flex the 2 and recall 3/4 when required but obviously they are flying home rather than holding closer to my pos

I would wish for better taxiway lines. They are too angular, whilst the rest of airbase markings are so nice and realistic these days.
