BMS F18 A and C upgrade - community involvement
-
But this is 'Merica dammit and feline fornication is not only accepted–it’s encouraged! To state it another way: We love us some pus… <–recognizing I may be going to far I have provided a little self-censorship.
(you’re welcome).
See what beasts you are turning us into?! Release that damn Bug!
-
All dev work has been stopped
but not for long.

I believe that is frowned upon in most of the world.
that’s the difference between you westerners and us eastern folk - now get back on topic!
-
I would like to see it fly in balkani …… F18 very Nice
-
The F/A-18 project is going to look great in Carrier War. I kind of made my mod specifically for it.:D
-
Work will continue right after this short nap
-
Just a q
Since other F-18 manuals (E / F / EA) are also available out there, should we except these versions too somewhat modeled in future?
-
BD et al from the Hornit team better chime in about the scope of the mod to clarify possible misconceptions… there are no avionics (on the level of f16’s) that i am aware of is in dev, so no matter the available real life manuals, they won’t mean much except for the data/specs and flight models at best.
-
No need to chime in.
Everything that is public knowledge is in this rather large thread and there’s no point repeating things that have already been discussed. There is no point in stating what it will or will not have because it is not a finished product yet. Regardless what is said there will still be misconceptions so let them be; this community thrives on rumor and innuendo.
It is progressing slowly and will be in 4.33 release
-
I haven’t seen any new developments regarding this F/A-18 for BMS lately. Is there any news regarding this? What’s the status of this addon?
-
-
Oops, I didn’t notice that. Sorry….
Anyway, more development news would be welcome, specially with some new screenshots
-
Nothing new to show.
Skin updates are detailed so difficult to see in an image. Things are still progressing well.
-
I have to ask: will 4.33 be somekind of successor of original Microprose idea called “Electronic Battlefield Series”?:)
-
what was the electronic battlefield series idea?
-
It was the combination of MicroProse Titels like Falcon4 and a Tank simulator for example. I can’t remember the name of the tank sim. They wanted it in the way DCS tries currently with it’s combined forces and other titles.
-
so, like war thunder, but realistic?
if so, thats probably so far off in the future as to it being a statistical improbability. though I note that SAM sim within BMS would be EPIC….

It would be overkill, but BMS F/A-18C would be just pretty fantastic! And next BMS A-10A please…;)
I wonder if “modularity” idea could break the limitations of simulating one avionics per game instance, even if the ‘new’ AC wouldn’t be as polished as F-16 already is.
-
I like the idea, but I also like the idea of finishing the F-16’s network sentric avionics first - then all would benefit.
link 16 first, and then you can has all avionics you like…
-
I like the idea
Personally I don’t.
Whatever happens, by having more a/c implemented and developed (and will certainly remains VERY far from the real thing and much less accurate than in DCS concerning avionics and flight model (FLCS)) will make suffer the F-16’s development for sure. (and other items like GFX and/or Dynamic Campaign, AWACS/ATC, Radio implementation, AI, terrain … etc …)
Result could be a bunch of unfinished things a different polish level … and no other or very reduced innovations concerning the Viper. (Many thing remains on the list … IRS drift, improved HTS, TGP, FLIR, AIFF, L16, AVTR, new weapons & systems … etc … )
This is a very personal POV … not BMS’s voice of course.
