BMS -34-1-1, v.4.37.3
p498/499According to trustworthy sources, the terms “TIME TO RELEASE/TIME UNTIL NEXT CUE” or “TIME AT NEXT CUE/TIME ON” or “TO TARGET” are incorrect.
Instead, the correct terms “TIME TO Rmax2/ TIME UNTIL IMPACT” or “WEAPON TIME ON TARGET” should be used to avoid confusion. -
Not a bug as such, but there’s no mention of the TGP > Cntr > Menu page Frag etc. Well, in fact it says it’s N/I, which it isn’t.

Original:
TB C The GW of the aircraft including pilot and engine oil is approximately 19,000 pounds and with full internal JP-8 fuel and smoke oil 26,600 pounds.
TB D The GW of the aircraft including pilot and engine oil is approximately 19,800 pounds and with full internal JP-8 fuel and smoke oil 26,100 pounds.What is TB?? I have searched prior to and in different areas and could not find this designation? I am assuming it is Thunderbird? as it lists smoke oil.
Recommend removal unless there is another reason to keep.

ver. 4.37.2
p. 97in the section “Gamepad HOTAS Functions” there are multiple inconsistencies between the documentation and the game.
- All four callbacks for SimAltHotasXray and SimAltHotasYankey under the column “NO SHIFT” and “LB (TMS SHIFT)” are the wrong way around. ( eg. NWS is actually controlled by X without needing the LB modifier. similarily, the toggle “NAV->DGFT->MRM->AG->NAV” is actually controlled with LB+X).
- The callback “SPD BRK OPEN” and “SPD BRK RET” should fall under the column “LB & RB” and in the row “SimAltHotasAlpha” and “SimAltHotasBravo”. As they are actually controlled by RB+RB+A/B in the game.
It involves other cells in the table. But I am very new to BMS only started a few days ago. So I am not able to verify all the other functions such as IFF yet. I would encourage someone with better understanding of the F-16’s HOTAS logic to look into these inconsistencies.
