Santa's wishlist for BMS

@kouzi said in Santa's wishlist for BMS:
when formation take off leader and wingman landing gear up must at same.
if this item can use AI pilot,we need gear down item to control at same timing of down the landing gear.
gear up / down also use for formation low approach or runway low pass.This is not announced on radio. It is performed by imitation (may use hand signals), no radio calls.
-
Considering the future new terrain:
Being able to fly under bridges.
More love to the A-10, since flying low will look better than ever -
@Dee-Jay yep, this. So basically we need head and hand tracking for VR for these and the other formation signals I must admit I have a tendency to do the head nod and kiss off at least

Nope. AIs can do without.

@Dee-Jay
Yes, you are right. But in bms, the only way to tell the wingman what to do is by using the radio menu. -

@Dee-Jay
This sounds great, thank you. -

It could be relevant to have AI imitate lights status for a starter, then.

Nope (or only partially) because your wingman can be split and on a different flight phase than the leader. Besides, you may want your some of your wingies to keep their lights on while you are off (i.e.: night flight formation into clouds)
I do not 100% remember, but I think IAs have their own routine that you can override with coms orders.

I have recently bought JetPad and SimShaker Wings for support of Falcon BMS. Tell me please, if you fly straight at 1G… do you feel with your butt anything or everything is smooth as butter? Can you feel vibrations from the engine? Or when gear is extended or raised or locked? -
@sunrrrise smooth, I have engine beat and lots of the effects turned down/off. It’s really about what you want feedback on what’s going on with it. There are certain things you can just feel with the overall motion of the aircraft, with the F-16 typically with the other 5 axes in Gs, maybe some sounds and shudders. You don’t get “force feedback” style effects with the Viper’s fly by wire. Most Viper pilots talk about how surprisingly violent the gun is to shoot the first time, how easy it is to not feel the air brakes still open sometimes, the feeling of the AB kicking in, and tanker boom contact is noticable are some of the observations I’ve heard.
Really feeding too much to the JetSeat will muddle to where you don’t know what’s going on anymore in my opinion. I turned off LEF movement, engine beat, roll, and G feedback (but use a 3rd Space Vest for that).

integrating local GPS jamming protection systems

@suhkoi69
First we’d need GPS jamminmg in the sim
If we’re having really modern warfare modeled, we’d need missile strikes enabled again followed by munitions like cruise/ballistic and regular A/G missiles being targetable by air defence units and fighters, including human controlled ones, then campaign engine knowing how to handle it reasonably. And lots of drones of various kind. -

Engine … yes, a little.
Landing gear … F-16, I don’t know. On C-160, yes, clearly a lot the nose wheel door.
On Alpha Jet/M2000 … no … not the landing gear itself. But the relative wind being turbulent.EDIT:
Here is my SimShaker settings:

@Dee-Jay
Thank you! I will try your settings -
@sunrrrise Results may be very different from mine depending on your cushion.
-
@Dee-Jay nice setup!
-
@Dee-Jay That’s so cool! Almost wife friendly
-
@Dee-Jay I love the wooden context and lighting.

That’s the late 1990s aesthetic of the A+B cockpit, it can be easily disassembled too, maybe making it wife friendly:
