Santa's wishlist for BMS
-
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.

More of F4Radr but
Threat circles and steer lines for GCI without having to be in 3D.
Sam Labels the in the threat circles on F4Radar.

In the Dogfight arena - the aircraft should remember their settings between fights. For example in 2v1 training, lead and wingman practice ACM against a Mig and upon entering a new session - we must set the yard stick, VHF and UHF frequencies, set DMD and other fence-in tasks. Then we’re ready to fight the Mig. We can give ourselves enough time to do all that by setting the initial range at 35+ miles.
Once we’ve defeated the Mig a new session is spawned and we have to set everything up again, before engaging the new Mig. So if we’re going to go through a training session of 10-20 sessions - having to reset all the controls each time is a pain.
Ideally if you set up the controls in the first session and they remain for all subsequent sessions until you leave the Dogfight arena.

@VDK Finally we can attack Denmark again. Seriously though, not much to fight over in this area.

I would like to add another thought regarding ATC communication.
For real aviators in contact with ATC, it is mandatory that each instruction line given by the ATC is read back correctly.
Since I have become a fan of “Kennedy Steve” and the awesome “Real ATC radio” videos on YT, I like to simulate a certain “dialog feeling” and repeat the instructions, just for fun and immersion.With one big problem: ATC never lets me finish
My question: While a human player is speaking on uniform, is it possible to make ATC wait until the channel is clear again?
Cheers everyone! -
In the 2D Map > Logbook window, the medals earned are displayed, but not how many. As of today, for instance, I have 34 Air Medals, which I can only know by opening the SoBad.lbk file with the Logbook Editor.
Because, that number is not displayed in the Logbook window. It would be informative to know not only which medals we’ve earned, but how many of each medal we’ve earned, and what the medal symbolizes as well.
-
Base the skill level of wingman to sort automatically during BVR and be able to set up a grinder with out being told to.
-
There is only one thing that I can think of - Link 16. Being able to have a data link to see where all the bad guys are, like in DCS (although I prefer BMS, hardly ever play DCS) would be ace.
-
@AviationPlus if you could (I have seen a lot of your YT content and it is cool!) please will you do a single player BARCAP grinder video. I saw one before but the comms options to the wingman weren’t detailed so I have no idea how to set one up. I sort of know the theory so some of that would be good too.
No pressure, just an idea for when you are doing a video.

Ten months ago, I got promoted to Major. Since then, I ran a mission or two nearly every day. Finally, after almost a year at the rank of Major, I earned my promotion to Lt. Colonel today.
I have to admit, I was proud of plugging away at it until I got it. On today’s mission, I knew I was going to probably earn 1600+ mission points needed to get promoted to that rank, so I was full of excited anticipation to see the big announcement window when I ended the mission.
Did I get a recorded voice congratulations announcement? I was hoping so, because I sure do get an extensive audio dressing down and penalties when I mess up. But no-- no “Congratulations” audio.
Did I get a windowed text saying, “Congratulations! After many months of hard work, you have earned your promotion to Lieutenant Colonel! Well deserved!!!” No, no such pat on the back.
Okay, then did I get at least just a one-sentence “Congratulations on your promotion to Lt. Colonel!” No, I didn’t see that either.
Well then did I get at least minimal “Promotion: Lieutenant Colonel” notification??? Nope.
I got a popup window with three letters bunched together: “LtC”
That’s it. “LtC”
I’ve said it before-- Everyone knows BMS has a LOT of big work to address. But if you use the rationale that the big stuff always comes first, then the small things that add up to a big difference will NEVER get addressed.
If a Falcon player works hard for almost a year to earn a promotion, he deserves more than a small window popup with the three-letter “LtC” in it.
So, for my BMS wishlist, I wish for management to understand that a certain amount of time needs to be scheduled for the small things, of which BMS has MANY to address.

@SoBad
I got my RL promotion to LtC via mail. -
Recent post on reddit got me thinking, how hard would be to add ‘Reolad key file’ option to Esc menu.

I believe this is already available via the chatline, but I’m not sure of the cl argument.
