Tried the ramp start tutorial…...
-
But i did read words like “douchebag” and some other not very kind words that was what i wondered about.
I’m just calling a spade a spade, and yes there is malice intent on his part, and yes I was correct in my assumption. Why people like skynight/smasha/whatever the crap he goes by now resort to such idiocracy just astounds me
-
well if there is malicious intent, its pretty bloody patient at that….

Blu, I would bet money that smasha/skynight/wraith knows full well how to ramp start, he certainly has promoted freefalcon enough in the past and never seemed to have issues with doing it in that. And let’s get a show of hands of everyone that has PM’d him offering to help, cause I’m sure I’m not the only one. Instead his intent is to make BMS look “too hard” for the average joe to learn, which is a crock. Either he ain’t got nothing right on the left side of his brain and nothing left on the right side of his brain, or he’s up to his old bag of tricks. Either way at least he so far has spared us the page long monotonous repetitive rants

Show of hands?
Alright, I PM’d him with an offer to help, and the offer was taken up. Then walked him through a ramp start after about a half hour going over planned maneuvering for the flight and briefing (my briefings are slow/take some time). Hence my comment about being patient… someone patient enough to sit through one of my briefs then get walked through a ramp start strikes me as someone interested in beating the belief that its too hard.
So far all I have seen is DeeJays blind assertion that this guy is Skyknight, and yet apparently Deejay isnt confident enough in that belief to ban him.
Frankly unless you have something like it being the same IP address, or same computer name or something I call BS. Ive had worse students than Smasha based on the one flight we did.
-
I honestly don’t know fully how to ramp start but I’m getting there.
Removed the pilot’s legs mod successfully and track ir is working much better now.I’ve been doing 5k walks at night time and they have been beneficial.
-
If smasha is not skynight then I wholeheartedly apologize, but so far he hasn’t denied it yet, which you think he would’ve by now considering all the fuss. Same avatar on all his aliases. Coincidence? Let’s ask smasha….
-
Who is skynight?
Sorry all ,I have calmed down since I have started doing my long walks again.
I was out of line and I apologise.

-
LOL I have no clue who skynight is.
I live in Australia.
Where does he live?
-
LMAO I just googled skynight and bms together and found a website and he has the exact same avatar LMAO.
Purely accidental everyone.
Funny though.

This post is deleted! -

And what website would that be? FFOSP perhaps? Were you afraid to post it in fear you would get banned yet again for shameless promotion? Sorry Blu, but I don’t see DJ making accusations like this without being confident in them, be it known ip addresses or the like

Sry to beat the dead horse but:
Concerning your TrackIR Problems: Find proper position for the camera, use one of the profiles that come with the software and adjust axis by axis. Takes some time but it’s definitely worth it. Would not want to fly without it anymore. If you want to use yassy’s profile and still want to have the zoom, just load the profile, and enable/tweak the z-axis and your good.
Rampstart: What i did was to watch krause’s videos several times, write down every single step and then start the jet step by step with my list. Took me a couple of days and actually helped to set up a working TrackIR profile that allows me to look wherever i want to look.
With more experience i started to combine certain steps into one step:
1: Battery power on
2: Comms -> Comm 1/2 clockwise, comm switch main, MSL and Threat Clockwise <
3: set parking brake, close canopy arm ejection seat
4: engine Start: JFS 2, wait for 25% RPM, move throttle out of idle position, wait for 70%RPM, set power to main gen
…
That way you can learn the whole thing within no time. Try to make things easier, learn step by step, combine those steps and you should be fine.Finally one thing that has really upset me:
Your throwing around words like anxiety and depression a lot, really an awfully effing lot here to try and make the people here understand how hard it’s for you and how easy for them, all this while people actually have been patient and tried to help you beyond a point where helping you seemed to be impossible since in most posts your reaction was to tell those people how hard it is for you. Why not try and actually be constructive? Find out what’s hindering your learning process and find a solution. (I guess) Most people in this forum are happy to help you with that too. Everyone has been there and has his/her experiences in learning this sim. The difference between you and them is not your depression, it’s your attitude towards problems. Instead of finding a solution you cry about the problem and make it actually more complicated than it is so it’s not your fault.
And before you tell me how hard things are for you: I am bipolar, so no need to tell me anything about depression and how hard life can be. It’s not BMS that’s beating you, your doing that by yourself.
Regards D_Fense
Edit:Oh forgot about one thing: FORGET ABOUT THE RAMPSTART TUTORIAL. It has lots of (until 4.33) unnecessary steps, that you don’t need for now. And you won’t learn anything by it. You don’t learn anything by it, because you just repeat what your told to do and have your brain on standby. That way you can do it 10 times a day and still don’t learn anything. Like others have explained: You need to understand what you are actually doing. If that takes some time for you, that’s fine. If BMS wouldn’t have that steep learning curve it wouldn’t be that satisfying. Still remember my first successfull landing, because of the several crashes that came before that landing. Just use the Take Off Te and select ramp before the loading screen starts. Ignore the tower.

to ban him.
Pointless. He certainly has few other acounts ready to be used (as he told me on FF forum) and would be back anyway.
IP: yes precisely … But not only … There are many other point that can be crosschecked.Anyway, this is not you afair sir.
You want to take him under your wing. Perfect!
From now, I will forward you directly any request and any of his post directly to you.
And you will be responsible to answer all his questions.Okay for you?

well my wings are not particularly large DeeJay, hard to fit anyone under there. Tell you what, Im gonna keep doing what Im currently doing, which is answering questions to the best of my ability when Im on the forum, regardless of who asks them. You wanna offload responsibility DeeJay, first you need to have a reason. CBF is not a reason.
you want this guys requests and posts no longer public (forwarding???) but you dont want to ban him?? Your sanity has been in some doubt a few times DJ (I jest!) but never more so than now….

Would not want to fly without it anymore. If you want to use yassy’s profile and still want to have the zoom, just load the profile, and enable/tweak the z-axis and your good.
For what it’s worth: I had the SAME problems with TrackIR when I started (note my lack of whiney posts…well, about TrackIR anyway…) and I got around this four (good) ways and 1 (bad) way:
First, adjusting my FOV (I am also running on three monitors) made a huge difference.
Second, I adjusted the view limits in the jet, actually someone else did and sent me all the files so I didn’t have to.
Third, I adjusted my axis in the TrackIR software (I still have problems with this).
Fourth, If I tilt my head to the side I can see (out of the corner of my eye) the controls that would otherwise be blocked.
Fifth, now when I am doing ramp start I disable track IR and navigate my view with the mouse and zero problems. Very easy to do, as well.
But there is some (useful) information about this problem.

you want this guys requests and posts no longer public (forwarding???) but you dont want to ban him?? Your sanity has been in some doubt a few times DJ (I jest!) but never more so than now….On post#126, you are giving me a lesson about how I should sail my ship.
Just don’t.
I am not here to be loved, and what you think about me is passing way above my head. I could disappear tomorrow, it would change nothing into you your life. Same in the other way.
Or feel free to hate me if you like.I am far from being sympathic … Yes … I assume this fact. No problem.
But do not tell me what I should do.
You are only a guest here. Stay outside if the forum stink because of me.Is that crystal clear?

I wouldn’t question the moderator of this forum with mod powers since day 1, it is his job to monitor the fora, identify patterns and he probably has a very good idea about who is who by now. Maybe he knows something more than the rest of you do. Did anyone bother reading the post by SkyKnight DJ quoted earlier? Coincidence or not, he was able to correlate smashas request with that of Skyknight, was aware of the posts existence and was the first to call it.
-
This is what pisses me off. Good people truly trying to help but instead waisting their time with this fool. I just want to expose the nonsense
Smasha this is how to ramp start, select “taxiway” at the beginning, then go full afterburner and hold the rudders and stick all the way to the left as far as they can go. Problem solved if this was RL
-
Is that crystal clear?
You wanna make snarky commentary about me taking people under my wing, you will get the same in turn.
Your commentary about post #126 is factually incorrect. No lessons on offer.
Incidentally I will offer the following advice about how you run your ship; belittling peoples attempts to assist others with learning the sim, poking fun at them, and deriding them for their efforts is not any way to encourage any form of community. No sir.
smasha …. Stop crying, ask Bluewolf to join his Vsquad and fly with him, it seems that he will be very happy to learn you everthing from A to Z all the subtilities of BMS.
Use your 2nd life wisely, in case of remanent problems with BMS, you best chance is to contact Bluwolf via MP.
For posterity: I am unaffiliated with any squadron at the moment. Your implication that I am still a member of past squadrons is not helpful to anyone, and potentially confusing to newcomers.
