Good Day, All. I am very happy to present a Pak of custom TE’s made by Brother Jackal for OFM-Nevada and Taiwan . You just drop them into the appropriate campaign folder and enjoy!

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/vc7zh0a5lf5ai/Nevada+OFM+custom+TEs+and+pptAlso, we are currently testing OFM-Libya . After that will be Iran. We may have a surprise for you on that one
Good day, Joe.
Thanks a lot for your appreciation.
If it’s time to release Lybia and after Iran, what about involving me too among their testers?
Try to guess now why I’m proposing that…To all the other Gentlemen:
just hope you can have fun - and please take in consideration to use those customized “ppt.ini” files created not for those TEs only, they could come useful in your briefings and in flight… (hint, hint)With best regards to all.
You’re welcome to join the party. We have a bit more to do with Libya before we unleash it to the testers, and Iran is not quite to that point, either. We’ll keep you in the Loop, for sure. In fact, you’ve given me the idea to put a “beta-test” version of our Theaters into the Mafia Files so anyone who wants to can test. The more eyes we have looking at them, the easier it is to find bugs.
Fine, then.
Fra’, where is the stuff ready to be crunched?
I got nothing (no sad Discord tricks positively allowed here, I warned you in advance with a .10 gun at hand)
With best regards.

@Jackal Hi, I pm’d you. I’ve been afk plus we’ve been doing other things. The plan remains the same, and don’t worry you’ll be in the loop.
-
@drtbkj Got your PM, and responded too.
Waiting patiently for all the rest, be assured.With best regards.

Good Day, All. We’ve been busy lately but work continues. I wanted to pass along a tip if you happen to get a ctd in an OFM Theater, especially if it’s an “Airplane Class” error in the crash log text… Go into Mission Commander and delete all F-35A squadrons and flights.
We suspect there’s something in that jet’s FM that BMS isn’t liking . We’re looking for a more long term solution -
Good to learn that simple procedure in advance.
Well done and thanks a lot, Fra’.

I’m pretty new here, but I’ve been working on a series of skins for the F/A-18A-D series. The work includes:
- new high rez decals for warnings (jet intake, ejection seat, blast, arrestor hook, etc.)
- roundels and other national markings
- new false canopies in some cases (or false canopy removal in some cases)
- airframe paint and contrast adjustments in some cases
- squadron markings
I’ve spent time time researching which squadrons flew which version of the hornet, and my squadron skins correspond to my findings.
All this was for my own use/amusement, and the base skin I worked from was the OFM F/A-18C Stingers skin, which I believe from the OFM documentation was credited to Sandy “Ronin” Padilla. I searched for Ronin in the forums search here but got no hits.
I think the skins would be of interest to others, but want to get the original creator’s OK to release them, and to properly credit the original skin creator if they give the OK to release. I’m happy to offer my versions to BMS and to OFM for inclusion/distribution etc. if worthy.
Can you connect me?
-
@DeepSimulations Hi. Ronin is no longer into BMS, however I do have permission to use his skins. So, Your contributions would be very welcome
-
OK, thanks. I’ll post some photos in the skins section in the next few days to see if there is interest. I’ll tag you as well.
Cheers.

VERY nice. When you’re ready the DDS’s to me and I can put them in the Mafia Files and our database

Good Day, All. We have a couple of goodies for you today, a refined F-18 Main Checklist
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/9w9b7frobcfg9/F-18+Checklists
The png images included can be put on kneeboards via WDPWe have also created a crash log channel over on our Discord, for CTD issues you may have in an OFM Theater. Please post the TEXT crash log , the affected Auto-Save file from your campaign folder, and whatever notes you can such as what you were doing, where you were, etc.

Good Day, All. Here’s a little present for you…
For while I’ve thought the Hornet pit jammer knob should be on the XMIT knob hotspot, so here is the correction.
https://www.mediafire.com/file_premium/8zc26hsdva5ami5/3dbuttons.dat%2528OFM_Hornet_pit_6-21-23-Jammer_switch%2529/file
It goes in 4.37/data/any theater/Art/CkptArt/ your jet(with Hornet pit) folder. If you have problems finding which folder is your jet, let us know and we can help with that. As always, we recommend you backup your original 3dbutton.dat file -
Good Day, All. Time sure does go by fast these day…27 days since a post! Anyway, today’s update is that the OFM Peru Theater is about to be posted, and Kuwait is in final testing. It will be out soon, as well.
As always, thanks to our Contributers

Today’s post is about the just released BalkansOFM Theater
https://forum.falcon-bms.com/topic/25471/balkansofm-1-7-7-for-bms-4-37u2The Balkans Theater by Cougar and his group has always been a personal favorite. We hope you enjoy OFM-B as the homage it’s meant to be.
We’d also like to thank @DeepSimulations for the F-18/CF-188 skins pack he has provided. It is in this Theater, and will be in our future releases , as well.
Next on the agenda, I believe, is the Kuwait Theater -
@drtbkj - you might want to look over this site -
https://www.cnatra.navy.mil/pubs-pat-pubs.asp
Particularly the T-45 pubs, because they form the basics for building a Navy Strike Fighter pilot. First you train…then you train some more.

Good Day, All. We’ve been testing and flying OFM-Balkans with no issues . I believe Kuwait will be next.
Also, I had gotten a pm about AI having problems landing at Basco in the Taiwan Theater. Basco is right at the SE corner of the map. In fact, you have to be full-screen to see it. Anyway, here is the fix-https://www.mediafire.com/file_premium/k7gs27ceq8wxvg1/LMR_hill_in_the_way_fix_for_AI_landing.rar/filez
