Santa's wishlist for BMS
-
My humble request for future not knowing much on how its all done other than old F4 PMC theaters would be to have well laid out training rangers in all maps and either equivalent to Korea or more extensive with model targets, shipping containers, old tanks, air craft various painted targets strafe nets so on. I honestly don’t care if its not geographically correct. I desire them to be put in areas where it makes it challenging to enter in like narrow valleys or mountainous locations or heavy forested tree-lines. Just more to the challenge and know hit box effects in new graphics engine is coming, this would be something worth implementing for theater devs. Its just my humble request. Fingers crossed.

Realistically, the pilot would choose between a JHMCS visor or NVG. Don’t think you can have both. So that should be an option on the loadout - you could default it to JHMCS and have to select the NVG option.
My knowledge verifies this. JHMCS and NVG are mutually exclusive.

Before 2018 this is correct but according to this it is now used by USAF, USN, USMC.
“Now the system is being fielded in large quantities to Air Force, Navy, and Marine fleet pilots and has already been used during combat operations in the Middle East.”

It would be great to have a detailed section in the documentation explaining how time works in the game. All aspects of setting times, adjusting time how to set a reasonable countdown, etc.
I waste so much REAL time sitting around while falcon counts down some arbitrary launch number.
I’ve been trying to modify the AAR training mission for night time practice using mission commander and all i’ve managed to do is add a 7 hour count down before i can takeoff.
It would be nice have a few pages in the documentation going into detail on this.

I think it would be cool if in campaign bent airframes (oversped, over-g’id) were removed from pool of available planes for 24-48h simulating deeper inspection/maintenance. Some extra motivation to keep your flying within a limits.
I keep wondering what happens to damaged aircraft in BMS. Are they just used on the next flight like nothing happened?
And what happens if I land at a different base?

Even 15 years ago when I asked about this in FF4 era it was told to me that the camp. engines calculates the damage and after a certain point summarize then adds a lost plane in the 2D world.
For the ATO there was some kind of delay when will be available a plane against if it lands on a different airfield than home base.
I guess even the very old base cold considered these factors. RP5 manual maybe mentions these.
-
I wish that, if I take control of a squadron, I could have a selection of body skins to choose from, including camo options.
-
@molnibalage I heard that (in earlier versions, at least) aircraft landed at the wrong base will taxi along the ground to the home base, albeit it hidden. It can take them several hours to get back, as a consequence.
I think now, the aircraft are simply moved in inventory with a delay before they can be used again (I seem to recall 12 hours).
-
@Tiger-0 So if I land somewhere else due to being low on fuel, I better ask for a hotpit refuel and then fly home rather than just exiting the flight.

Just keeping the dream alive!
- A functioning Rate-of-Turn Indicator.
Fast forward to 13:18 . . . .
- In 2D, the steerpoints display the compass directions between them, negating the need for the Ruler to get headings.

Nema 23 gear motor, Linear stepper motor. ???¿?

@VIPER-0
Would it be AI spam or just regular spam …? Question of the day. -
It would be nice to create and navigate subfolders In the Campaign folder for organizing saved TEs.
-
Should the turn rate indicator work? Sure…perhaps in a new cockpit…extreme low priority.
You know when the last time I looked at a turn rate indicator? 22 years ago, flying a Cessna….
In every other aircraft, it just didn’t matter and I’ve never been asked to fly a half standard rate turn by ATC.

Hi mate!
… And bank angle for standard rate turn can be calculated anyway without the real need of a turn rate indicator.
The simple rule : http://www.luizmonteiro.com/article_bank_angle_for_std_rate_01.aspx
However … I would be glad to have this turn rate indicator in game simply because it does exist in the jet IRL.

if could there be any chance to change the influence of bombed infrastructures on the campaign?
I mean, if a power plant or a power distribution facility were to be hit, there wouldn’t be public lighting in a certain area at night and it would slow down the resupply to the front line because the factories would not function properly due to the damaged electrical network. -

In fact could be turned on/on in SP times and earl FF also as I can remember.

I’d like to see us be able to load O1 and O2 with chaff/flare and have a fully loaded set of ALE-47 Expendables. And to have to set an appropriate Program to get them out - remembering that O1 and O2 are going to be chaff/flare, as loaded.
