Is Falcon BMS close to the real thing?
-
Yes besides classified rwr internals and ecm internals. Other stuff either not implemented yet or classified.
-
nooo i mean the internal cockpit and armament of the F-16 in game is it dead on accurate to the actual F-16 in real life
IRL, you can’t modify the fuze AD via MFDs.

Don’t forget that you can’t change the HUD color in IRL as well.

Fuse settings are on each fuse of the bomb.

anything else?
-
Lots of little things.
Landing light switch is 3 positions (taxi-off-landing).
Always have to enter Lat/Long before align.
Lots more options for dimming interior lights.
Squelch for radios.
Can start with one JFS bottle instead of both.
Can dial manual freq into backup UHF head.
RWR activity saturation.
The entire SMS back end.
Page-specific bright/contrast/sym MFD settings.
Smooth control of the depressed reticle.
Anything air conditioning or anti fog.
Several things about exterior lighting.
TACAN ident monitoring.
Have Quick.
D/B model cockpit.
Radar beacon use.
Several HARM/HAD features.
Several TGP features.It’s a lot of little things.

i mean the internals and the way the armament works are they realistic, or are some features & buttons not there in the real cockpit. I would like to know that is all
Every F- 16 is different IRL. Every single one of them. In one way or another. So there will be some details in BMS that are different, not there or not accurate to a specific F-16, but nothing relevant to us in my opinion. BMS is as close as needs to be.

Always have to enter Lat/Long before align.
For the old-school 8-10 minute align? Nowadays they have that fancy 4-minute EGI if I’m not mistaken.
-
It’s as real as phone sex.
-
One real F-16 pilot’s opinion is that the avionics are 90% accurate.:)

Right, might as well be an iPhone game
Yea, I would like to see you put bms on an iPhone. Doubt very much you could fly it.

The one item on the list I wasn’t sure of! Hehe. I bet the INS is one of the more changed systems over the lifetime. BMS isn’t exactly the same as any of them is all I mean. Even on PX II/III jets there are so many alignment options and caveats. I don’t know the capabilities of the newest EGI but even older models could align in four min, it just wasn’t great. The long time for alignment is for gyrocompassing. The Earth only turns so fast so the only way to get suitable performance in less time is for the INU (LRGs for sure on anything new) to be sufficiently precise after less degrees of Earth rotation.
Apparently just having a GNSS and INS system doesn’t make it “EGI” it takes a low-level integration of raw data from the two systems to make it “embedded.” I don’t know if the H-764G is the current EGI used. I curious what’s the model number on the latest unit.
Edit: Looks like LN-260 current. And the brochure says a 4m “GC” (gyro compass) align so it probably gets to spec faster. Advertised in blended operation as better than the required INS spec 83:1 in Vx, Vy.

And that’s only considering default block50/52 type. Other types of F-16 have more differences (analog FLCS panel, CARAPACE, ATD, MLU HMD-MISC-RF-eyebrows labels/colors/location, EXT LIGHT master/covert/off, INT LIGHT, EHSI etc etc)It’s still closest to reality compared to any other mil jet sim out there though!

Nuclear consent procedure (for all those having a problem with a campaign lol)

In RL you can’t drink alchohol or smoke during a flight.
Also, there would much less chance that your better half would interrupt your flight to take out the trash, or come to the dinner table.
Note the “less” part…
-
The BMS is the most free F-16 simulator developed and still developing ever….
Wait for 4.33 for some of the above and you will see …
Thanks God for keep share these amazing software and thanks everyone thats helps on that.
-
I am reasonably certain (maybe 4.33 will change this) that if you cut off Oxygen in BMS you won’t pass out and potentially wake up with brain damage at high altitudes.

Mine has a list of things that she can interrupt me for when I am playing Falcon. Also, appropriate activities she can engage in the in background. To many lights makes the TrackIR Squirrely.
