As far as anything goes, I get shot down a lot too. I have learned one thing from all of the bullet holes in the seat my pants. In a campaign, when you get into it, play the part of a lion. Notice the lion always goes for the weakest prey on the edge of a herd. After all, he want to eat, not run the last little bit of gas out his stomachs. So, if the ATC schedules a strike mission a hundred miles beyond the FLOT (Forward Line of Troops), you would be better off changing the mission to strike something on the edge. Or you could delete the mission in the ATO list. However, if you choose to fly this strike mission as fragged, try to adjust your steer points so that you do not fly right over a known threat.
You may find, as I have, that BMS Falcon is addictive.
Good Hunting,

Record your flights and post the resulting ACMI or VHS file and I’m sure people would be happy to tell you where you’re doing it wrong and how to fix it
Get TacView and watch your fights as well. That program is worth it’s weight in gold!! Not sure how you would weigh a bit of software though….
-
…worth it’s weight in BitCoin?
-
Well, you just made the problem worse. How do you weigh a software and how do you weigh a cryptocurrency?

Simple, use a henway, of course.

As the others have mentioned, the fastest way to learn is with another person who knows BFM. I learned with a lot of reading and practicing and it took a long time. The biggest trouble that I had was converting the diagrams into a visual picture from inside the pit and getting the AI to cooperate with the specific thing that I wanted to practice. It is much easier to set up situations with another human pilot.
A good document in the BMS docs folder is called T-38C INTRODUCTION TO FIGHTER FUNDAMENTALS - AETC Tactics, Techniques And Procedures 11-1.pdf. It shows you how to get into a turning circle and give images of what things should look like from inside the cockpit. The T-38 cockpit looks different but you should be able to easily adjust.

Thank you TeeSquare. I will def add that documentation into my list of studies. I need to get my BMS back to the vanilla install but once I do that how do I go about trying to to get with a training partner online? Ive never attempted to try MP yet because as Ive stated earlier my internet speed is 1-Mbps and I have been under the impression that my internet wouldn’t support MP.

Professionalism is one quality that must be common to all fighter pilots. Excessive pride can result in not admitting your faults; excessive desire can cause you to overlook small details along the way; overly aggressive attitudes can cause you to
override good judgment. Professionalism is the only quality that can achieve the proper blend of pride, desire, and aggressiveness.Thanks, TeeSquare! Never come across that document before. One gem already located!

Arty has a list of VFWs on his hot list. You could browse thru them and find one that is a good fit for you. For BMS 4.33, 1024 (1mb) connection speed is the minimum for a client so you may be ok if your connection is steady and you are the only one online in your house. I have to collect the devices in my house from my kids when I host flights because they like to watch videos and it sometimes causes a crash.
Things to look for in a wing are their location, flight times and what type of group you like. They range from very realistic with graded training courses to show up and fly and try not to shoot each other down.
