Starting up with Falcon 4 BMS
-
As I said very often, the stuff we implement in the BMS docs with every new version of BMS render the old manuals more and more useless, it’s funny you showed these very pages as the next iteration will specifically emphasize my point
an example: if you read that F4 manual and try the same in BMS 4.33 (like bracket or single side offset, you’ll be very confused with the AI reaction So my opinion stands, these stuff are outdated and need to be documented according to the updates of BMS, not according to something that was released 20 years ago.
Another example:
that trail images in the F4 manual was wrong for the Falcon 4.0 released version. That ladder is wrong as well there are many more mistakes like this
(which doesn’t reduce the respect I have for hat document one bit) and there are many items that were correct for the Falcon 4.0 but are utterly confusing in nowadays BMSbetter stick to the document suite relevant to the sim you fly rather than it’s respected ancester.
The curve is steep enough. if you want to make it even steeper by reading outdated docs, that’s your choice, but new guys shouldn’t take that route at all !! -
fair enough… but what about the other 95% of the stuff I posted? Still a lot of interesting things in there.

we can just stick with the small sample of pages I posted:
practical explanations of the FLOT, beaming, AAA fire, BFM, the slice, uses of various formations
just curious, where is the counterpart in the new manuals?

Thanks for your input fellas. Again sorry for the delayed reply. I used to get a reminder in my email box but that stopped for some reason now!
