Apparently I am not allowed to post errors.

No need to come back on previous post Monli.
Let’s hope that Gyro understand our point about what is helpful and what is not.
I want to be clear, there is no problem to report troubles or ask question, but try to be efficient otherwise, posting bug report without giving us clues, or a complete process to reproduce it or information allowing us to understand what is happening … => pointless.
If you don’t have time … no prob, just add something like : Stay tuned, I will come back with more details and information as soon as I can.
You should understand this perfectly Gyro since you are programmer and troubleshoot professional.

I have accidentaly supressed your “bug report” about Osan, sorry about that.
I have the “privilege” to tell you that there is no bug there. (As expected.)
You have simply wrongly set your DTC.
If I am asking you to tell us what feq is tuned (not asking you if you have set your DTC) it is not inocent…I suggest you to o back at Osan, and set the freq manually in via ICP and not using DTC presets. You will see that there is no bug.
Two possibilities:
- As Cruz said, maybe you have set your last waypoint on another airfield THEN hit “set tower” which is assigning the DTC preset to freq of the landing airfield.
or
- You have simply messed up your channel presets and saved the wrong frequencies.
So from now, better listen to what ppl are saying and aswer the questions which will save you some time (and to us also!)
In the future, avoid to use presets to check that kind of issue and tune directly to airfield freq in ICP to be sure to use the right frequency … And not those “funking” presets that most ppl don’t understand really how it actually works.
@ all newbies: don’t use presets as long as you are not familiar with standard radio and frequencies usage. Make things simple before using such kind of shortcuts without mastering the basics.
@ all other: dont talk anymore about channels or DTC presets to newbies, but tell them to use manual freq rather than presets. Presets comes after.
Thank you.

Ok just to bring this flaming session on me to a close, the advice given at the time in actual fact was all tested, duplicated and repeated at least 5 times prior to posting. To the pilot in the USAF I too served as a pilot many years back but on nothing as complex as the Falcon, gotta say Im a tad ( Little) jealous. As for the flight avionics I have no issue with it, nor with the programmers.
As for someone telling me Im not part of the community, quite honestly I dont see how anyone has the right to say that about anyone. The information passed on by me to others is my own personal findings and opinions. It is up to the reader to take or not the advice given.
As for bug reports, they are intended to show possible errors in the system which if others have the same issue then that gives the programmers information vital to securing a solution to that problem.
As for all those contributing to the bitching and whining about what I put up, it wouldnt be because you have nothing further to add to an error or a possible fix for it or is it just to make yourself feel good that you stuck your oar in on every post to get your message tally the highest on the board. The whole purpose and Im sure the programmers would agree, of the tech support section is to notify others of possible repeatable issues and see if a solution or work around can be found. As I said repeatedly a programmers time is too valuable to waste, I ahould know I do it for a living and man do I get some weird problems to sort out. Falcon dumps its own bug reports into a series of files and it would help to have some way to get those files to the programmers easier than just posting the error and sitting on the logs. The text dump is pretty much the only file that can be posted and yet even that I am told is an Eronious error report, well if its eronious then the fault reporter in falcon must be in error because it was a straight copy and paste.
All errors regardless of your setup and modification hardware need to be accommodated, especially when the game goes CTD or just locks up. Ive spent enough time beta testing various flavours of falcon over the years to know its a beast of a program to know completely. My intention is purely to give the programmers as much information as possible with regard to it. Like tonight I found a bug in TrakIR 5 installation that screwed up my ancient X52 drivers, but its a fix I sorted out myself because I knew what had happened without bothering to post the cure because it applied to my computer only.
I loved the quotes about my professions web site, they really made me laugh, especially Arty’s “I wish Id Taken the Green Pit” that one won that series. If you dont want me here then by all means cancel my enrollment, to me Falcons been in my life since Falcon 3 and I would like to keep it going in development especially now the BMS version is the only one remaining in development to the best of my knowledge. Unlike a lot of you I ve watched it grow from pretty much the start.
One thing thats been promionent in all variation forums is the amount of flaming going on just for the sake of it. It was a contributing factor in the death of freebirds wing and no end of other wings too I would imagine. Tech Support is for people who can help to give help and as Red Dog said to me do your homework, well Ive had 35 years of programming homework behind me and I hope to have the same in front of me as well, I just wish I had more time to contribute fixes for the issues I find, but I dont have a copy of the BMS code nor am I one of the programmers for it. I do however have a knowledge of Windows from Windows 3 to today as well as Directx as its part of my work and living.
I spent 2 years in the RAF serving Queen and country as a pilot, but thats not exactly a mass of experience as most of it was flying a desk in class. Then a freak accident forced me out of the Force. And no Im not looking for sympathy I was once told “You want to find sympathy its between sh&t and syphilis in the dictionary” thats good enough for me.
So if anyones got any flaming to do about my posts my emails available on my website, and thanks to those that visited it, so please use the email for that purpose and not the forums.

… the forum reckons you posted that at 0107z actually (well it actually says 0907h, but same thing).
Still waiting for this screenshot of Kimpo’s 14/32.

Agree with the first part. However, if you are going to post your opinions as fact to the possible detriment of another visitors OS installation and the general integrity of their PC, you need to be told to rein back. Especially when you are being told otherwise by the very authors of the software you are “advising” on. Seriously. Shut up and listen. Despite what you think you know - there will always be someone who knows more and better.
As for the rest of your post? Said it before, I’ll say it again. Grow up.
-
How come if you reproduced every bug 5 times, have you never shown ANY evidence of it here, and NEVER done what a majority here is suggesting you try differently?
Grow up indeed, or go wine somewhere else. -
@Ara’:
"When you start to doubt what (we) say… then you don’t belong to this community any more."
LMFAO…!
Do not question. Do not doubt. Follow. Assimilate. You have been programmed… er… told.
Sounds like a leader of a football firm.:D

Gyro… For the very very last time.
Bug report are welcome. BUT, give all the informations, TE or campaing save, or a process to repro, and answer questions … YOU NEVER ANSWERED ON WITCH FREQ YOU WAS ON OSAN AND DID’T GAVE YOUR FEEDBACK ABOUT THIS: https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?20137-Apparently-I-am-not-allowed-to-post-errors&p=291238&viewfull=1#post291238
Result = rather than helping us, you a loosing our time. This is not the way to go and not the purpose of bug reports.
Did you tryied again, is it working, were you right or wrong? …
Please … Keep your bugrepport for you as we have enought Btester on BMS team side and just enjoy the sim.
If you really want to provide support, do it on your own forum but we won’t let you spread info here IF we are considering it false or wrong.
…
About your former military activities: Regards and thank you for service sir.
