Hi, Complete newcomer to BMS (and study sims). So I'm going to post here from a very naive perspective. I'm following the training manual and I'm finding it good, but at times a bit "frustrating" with some omissions that leave the reader a bit lost. I'll give a couple examples later, although watching some of the videos has also helped significantly, so I might have missed other things. But before that, I'd like to suggest something a little more profound. Judging from my experience, and lots of threads online, one of the main challenges a newcomer faces is actually doing the key mapping. It's overwhelming to map dozens of buttons when you don't know what 90% of those do and if they even matter at all. I think each of the training missions could have a preliminary section where the user can incrementally be informed of what new bindings are now necessary to add. This might be particularly useful when it gets to advanced stuff like weapon systems (I haven't gotten there yet). I don't know if this follows the "spirit" of this training manual, as I can appreciate if it's written to emulate a real life training guide (and you don't bind keys in real life! :P). But I think this would make BMS much more approachable to complete beginners, as they'd be guided both on how to use the systems, as well as to what they need to bind at that point in time, without being overwhelmed by things they don't yet need to understand. With that said, here's a couple more tactical pieces of feedback, following the template: Document: BMS - Training Manual Page: 41 Original sentence: “Passing 14000 feet set your altimeter to QNE: 1013 Mb or 29.92 inHg.” Corrected sentence: “Passing 14000 feet set your altimeter to QNE: 1013 Mb or 29.92 inHg (use the barometric setting knob, located at the lower left corner of the instrument. Refer to section 29.1 of the -1 flight manual for detailed information about the altimeter)”. Rationale: As a newcomer, it's not obvious how to adjust the Altimeter, and which units does it use (Mb or inHg?). Reading the -1 clarifies it, but one needs to know what to look for (e.g., there's no mention of QNE on the -1). This also fosters a closer relationship of the user to go back and forth between the training manual and the airplane manuals. ==== Document: BMS - Training Manual Page: 55 Original sentence: "In this training it is recommended to take seat #2 or #4 of the flight." Corrected sentence: “In this training it is recommended to take seat #2 or #4 of the flight. " The image could look something like this:

<p>Hi folks<br /><br />Is there any LOD Editor for 4.35? <br /><br />I keep getting this error “Hdr #4 Array Overrun”.<br /><br />Thx</p>

if ATC told you that you are #2 that means you are #2 which means you must take off behind the J11

yes, i already know

the problem is therefore that you are placed in #2 instead of #4
can u confirm that it is a taxiway arrangement problem (only in Osan)?
i can't choose start position freely, so i can't test all parking lots 1 by 1.
i tested other airports, seems some parking lots don't have this problem. but i m not sure. I don't have the tools or ability to test more.

how many times will I have to repeat it
you have to wait for 4.36
Not only code has benefit from fixes but all airbases have been redo

you call taxi ok
the you are granted taxi ? Yes or not ?

if yes after you start taxiing the other aircrafts don’t continue taxiing ?

yes, i m granted taxi, in number 2 in queue (in the pic above).

no, they don’t continue taxiing. only J-11 continued taxiing and takoff, all other AI flight stop.
now Mig-29 stop at taxiway before me, so i can't takoff too, (unless i go into grass land, overtake him, which not real life action)

if ATC told you that you are #2 that means you are #2 which means you must take off behind the J11

the other AC stopped to let you overtake

the problem is therefore that you are placed in #2 instead of #4

this has been fixed in 4.36

@zeus Hey Zeus, thank you very much for the explanation, sir!! It was probably what happened. I Remember he contacted the tanker and #3 and #4 were not within 10nm from the tanker… We’ll try contacting it when everyone is inside the “bubble” from now on! Thank you again and happy new year!!!

@Snake122 Hey snake, Y3 was called, but the problem persisted… As Zeus said above, the most possible explanation is that the other elements were not within 10nm from the tanker when it was contacted. Thank you and happy new year!!!

@fearripper96 said in Setting Fuel Remaining in Mission Commander:

@tomcattwo as far as I’ve seen in my limited testing, scripts will only execute for the local session (i.e. they don’t work across multiplayer connections) and only for one aircraft.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I tested that yesterday, and it is as you said.

Looks like I am going to stop tilting the windmill on this one. Users will just have to tank the flight in this mission, like it or not. Good practice 🙂

@oakdesign Thank-you very much, that explains what I failed to understand. It works fine now. I appreciate your help, I wasn’t getting it as explained in the manuals.

@oakdesign said in IVC PTT keys - any way to reassign?:

👍 ah got it

Now discussing on FO Discord how to get the correct map for BfL Online for WDP and Helios… 😉
