Gripen for BMS. What do you think ?
-
Was he this guy ?
-
The second cockpit is a Gripen A variant. there was monocrome smaller displays. Radium linked before the C cockpit .

TRUE LoL oh well didn’t pick up on that earlier. -
Hello,
we could debate a lot about a future Gripen cockpit.
First generation cockpits of Gripen A are the most “BMS friendly”. It would be rather easy to make something relevant.
Second generation of Gripen A are almost the same, and does not represent such an issue for BMS.
Third generation cockpits of Gripen C are maybe the toughest to make, because screens are absolutely not BMS friendly. I feel most suspicious to be able to make something nice.
Fourth generation cockpits with Gripen E would not be so difficult, because center wide screen makes it possible to put a lot of things inside. That being said, I do not aim to make a cockpit for E, as long as I don’t even think now about an exterior model.
So, for now, I would rather do a Gripen A cockpit, for it’s suitability with BMS. That being said, it also means that no air refuel and other stuff will be possible…
This means : no decision yet.
Cheers,
Radium

If you want i can send you what i have done so far in the past to continue it even though i have to admit it has errors

@RadiumJust a question , nothing offensive.
Why so difficult to do the C cockpit ?
I don’t know the details about the rules of BMS engine, but for me Modell wise the only difference to make a bigger screen and the symbology are coloured.
If the difficulties are to make a bigger screen then why more easier to do a super big screen for the E variant? -
Hello Repvez,
biggest issue with JAS-39C is the format of MFDs. As you see, they are not squarish at all. Therefore, and because the background colors are so different from F-16, I don’t expect to have something nice.

Yes indeed, but the E varians’s MFD either. both of them rectangle. Is it hard coded limit the MFD’ssizes? The MFD background colour is black as you can see on the pic like the Falcon one.I just would like to learn what we can do and what not to push the boundaries .
And If I see the F22 has more than 3 MFD so if the BMS is support more than 3 MFD then maybe there are some capable to hack into 6 MFD and combine together like a borderless 3 rectangle MFD to be.
The E varians’s one screen seems like if the 3 C varians’s MFD put together also.If this hack is workable there maybe someone can make the Blk 30 CPD cockpit too same way.

Hello Repvez,
in fact, this is rather simple. If I take F/A-18C cockpit solutions in BMS, here is what we can do for Gripen E :
For Gripen C, most relevant would be this :
Beside that, I don’t like stretched MFD, because it always look terrible and unrealistic :
In both case, I could make a static center MFD, with functional gauges inside.
I keep what I said, I am not confident to do a Gripen C cockpit.
I believe that the most suitable would be a Gripen A cockpit :
So, this is the reason why, for now, I don’t plan a Gripen cockpit.

JAS-39A was done in FreeFalcon 5.5.5

it was a 2D cockpit… a different project.
-
@qawa But their solution would work for layout?
-
@Obi1 DOF & switch have a different approach than 2D functionalities… I remember that “someone” had made a wonderful “cockpiteditor” for 2Dpit
I trust in Radium choice… will be the best one !
-
@Reaperdog1
Yes I thought this way, that the MFD contain some instruments also like the RPM , nozzle, VVI ,AOA etc.
I don’t know how handle in the BMS this but in YAME64 you can put them there as you want. there see the Blk 60 layout maybe also can usable. -
Falcon BMS JAS-39 STRIKE in Nordic 20191104
What happened?
Shouldn’t all work be submitted to BMS Devs to enter into database?
-
Having a Gripen in BMS would be terribly exciting - I’m not too fuzzed which version either. I do have a soft spot for the JAS39C though, especially the Czech ones. It was incredibly cool to see the MiG-21MFN and JAS39C operate side by side in 2005 before the final Fishbed retirement from Czech service.

Is it possible to develop a movin map for BMS?
-
@Reaperdog1 this is a Jas-37 Viggen and it’s already in the database !
-
@VDK I have an idea to make it !
-
@Radium sorry bro getting old my mistake for not checking. Yeah I do think every air craft and cockpit art should/must be submitted to developers to implement into database. Then we as users just check our install folder for aircraft fully implemented with support docs. Instead of checking mods by various produces in forum just my 2cs
