I checked the version 2.2 and the update is still required, I have made some changes to the saveX.cam and saveX.tri files and recommend you apply the update again. Could not include these mods in the 2.2 release because of lack of time for testing.
Mods are compatible with new and ongoing campaigns.Cheers

Added link in first post for the F35 A/B/C update. It includes the modified fm for the B version and new hardpoints by Yuri https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?34539-F-35B-with-afterburners-and-weapon-rack-fix&p=480328&viewfull=1#post480328.
I tried to make the loadouts as realistic as possible, there is common ordnance for all 3 versions and unique weapons for each single version. I did not include the so called âbeast modeâ because I consider it unrealistic, nonetheless Yuriâs hardpoints are designed in a way that you can have such loadout if you wish. Just change the quantity of weapons that can be loaded on each station.
Cheers

âAlways refining is the keyâ, or so Iâm used to think on my little own at least. Please keep on going this way.
With best regards.

Hi Guys,
Luke has been working on putting together a more detailed map.
I have inserted this WIP map into BMS to do some testing.
Still work to do but hope you enjoy.Cheers Obi1
-
the map looks good.
may tune down the brightness to make flight path more visible.BTWâŚhope somebody can add missing russian objectives.
-
any plans to just add all the âpatchesâ into a new version?

Nice. Iâd like to use this for big UOAF events so will have to get 20-30 people to install it, that would be much easier.
Which campaign do you guys recommend? Which works best, which is hardest, etc.? -
I will try to have an installer ready asap. Buran should be the hardest.

Hello there,
Worked all day on the UI map to improve the previous shown map.
I also changed color a bit to have better contrast with flight plan.
Here are some screens:Cheers Obi1
-
Well done Obi my friend!
Nikos. -
just my 2c,
better tune down the brightness of map, and increase the saturation of colors.BTW nation border could use wider, or darker line.
-
I already did edited the coloring to get a more darker, greenish look.
About the nation borders, not sure if you mean in the right lower area where it stops?
Because I can clearly see the dark lines making for the borders?Maybe its an issue with screenshots and zoom factor. In game it looks better and even more clear and darker.
Anyway this was more of a test to see how it would look and if it will be usable.
There is even work on another map by Luke777, that will look very different from this one, we will have to wait and see.Cheers Obi1

Luke, super simple fix to make movies play again: (in the new version you just gave me)
in the theater definition file PolarVortex.tdf
bad
# movies moviedir Add-On NTO Polar Vortex\Movies
should be
# movies moviedir Add-On NTO Polar Vortex
the movies folder is implied
-
btw, if the videos still donât work for people⌠itâs because you are missing the codec. Also a simple fix.
Hi there.
Well you need to install the latest ffdshow codec in order to can see the campaign videos.
BMS 4.33 by default installs only the x86 (32 bit) codec and it isnât the latest released one.
Go here: http://www.videohelp.com/software/ffdshow
and click on âDownload ffdshow 1.3.4533 64-bitâ in order to download the x64 version codec (file âffdshow_rev4533_20140929_clsid_x64.exeâ 4.79MB), or click on âDownload ffdshow 1.3.4533â in order to download the x86 version codec (file âffdshow_rev4533_20140929_clsid.exeâ 4.61MB).
If you want to run BMS 4.33 in x32 bit mode, simply uninstall the current ffdshow codec and then install this newer one, means the âffdshow_rev4533_20140929_clsid.exeâ.
Then all the campaign videos will been shown fine .
Nikos.
