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.

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.

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.

… study also the “Music” thread (only a very small “clues” … I will not talk about the rest which is confidential)
In any case, smasha = skynight or not … This is not the problem.
Only point (and the last):
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.
But no more “spam” about yes, no, … I am gonna commit suicide … etc … Otherwise, yes, I am gonna close your acount.
So now, I close this one and consider you as a virgin smasha. Use your 2nd life wisely, in case of remanent problems with BMS, you best chance is to contact Bluwolf via MP.
@ Blu3wolf: take care about my sanity … It can goes worst anytime. Especialy on this “funking” forum.
Edit: another un-noticed (high probable) attempt to justify another of his request about F-16I and moving map

Surprisingly, who is the author of the last post => SkyKnight ! … No more smasha after!?!
Answering its own post! This is incredible, but wasn’t the fisrt time …
He did something similar when posting under the pseudo of General joking about Tagman : https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?11890-BMS-Forum-game&p=161517&viewfull=1#post161517And I do not talk about other more evidences that I keep internal …
This guy is an incredible snake … And honestly, I can’t say I hate him because he amaze me!So … Blu3wolf, believe what you want … Not a prob for me.
