Link 16 things you want in the next update
-
After coming home after spending time with my mom, dad, sister, and 1 year old niece, I decided to check out the forums before going to bed, and I just skimmed through this last page. To the developers, you guys are amazing. What you have created here is a dream for me. This may sound silly, but ever since watching the movie Iron Eagle, I always wanted to fly the F-16. I bought Falcon back in 1999 when I was working at Kmart to help get me through college, but my computer couldn’t really run it. Then I bought Allied force in 2005. Still, it was hard for me to learn.
Fast forward to Feb 9, 2016. I broke my ankle, and a few weeks later I decided to give Falcon BMS a try. 4.33 had just come out, but then there was an issue with whoever owned the license and even 4.32 was not available. So I made a post of what was going on with me, and my hopes to fly, and a great guy from the development team did something very nice for me! I will never forgot it.
Every summer I would learn to fly a bit more, but I focused on single player, and then this most recent summer, after a great guy named Stalker reached out to me, I joined his group and started to really learn to fly in multiplayer. It was some of the most fun I ever had.
Then right before Christmas ,you guys add 4.35. Heck, now we even have to make sure to turn on the anti-ice, and you created even more ways for enemies to kill us, with more lethal SAM operations and now the ships can blow up our missiles and still kill us while doing back flips! LOL. (Correction, the ships doing back flips will be added in 4.36, it was a last minute scratch from 4.35. My apologies for the error.)
The point is, that the detail, the dedication, the effort, and the heart that you guys put into this is amazing, and most people truly love it and appreciate it. I personally want to thank you for everything you have done for us!
Let me end with a quote from another person who dedicated themselves to helping others. She even had others spit at her for her efforts. Here it is:
People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.
What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.
Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.
In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

God Bless and Merry Christmas.

I understand the thousands of hours of development and resources required to do this. It’s incredible and i’m very thankful for the efforts of the team. Merry Christmas, and thanks again. I hope anyone with negative comments can stop being a bunch of scrooges and realize that what these guys do is a favor for all of us.

I think people could think like that. The changes of 2 to 4 years effort could be small.
However, the person who made the video clip is missing important points the philosophy of development and developing BMS is not a full time job like other PC game developers.Sorry , but I don’t think so : it was a deliberate attack .
of course , the sim is not perfect ; that’s why there are so many update . So yes , it can be criticized , but the comments of the links are totally biased : no mention of the main improvements of the core sim … This is what I really can’t bear : dishonesty .

4.35 was released in less than 2 years since 4.34 released.
4.32 to 4.33 and 4.33 to 4.34 took 4 years.
I’m very excited that the developers have delivered the update so quickly.In these 2 years, BMS rewrote the whole rendering engine to DX11.
I took this update as a preparation for further evolution in future versions. -
And at the end after hundreds of hours of work we end up with this kind of shit

Jp, FWIW I posted it on the Discord channel :mrgreen:
I take it as pure humor and this kind of videos (With this guy laughing) come for almost anything. I actually think that it was made very nicely (Yea first minutes was funny).
If they will know or not, understand or not, WE know what it’s worth, and that goes first.
Second, I think we have enough crowd that worth not letting it all up. Stuff that you already did in the past which is in the public versions, stuff that you already wrote and will come to public in future versions, stuff that you didn’t even wrote yet, it’s all appreciated by EVERYONE. We are all thankful (And me first! Because I’m a Falconeer before anything else) that we have such a dedicated Dev as you are, that’s priceless -

Guys! It’s humor, and it’s funny in my eyes. Featureless DX11? Yes that was the EXACT meaning of this release. If people want to laugh about that, sure go a head LOL
To leave humor aside, I couldn’t ask for more from my friends to the team who make things work, this isn’t obvious at all and I’m proud to work with all of them.

I took this update as a preparation for further evolution in future versions.Yes we do intend to make faster releases from now on, that’s a decision that was made by the BMS management and hopefully we will become even faster with next updates.
And BTW, the DX11 engine wasn’t written it those 2 years, because while other versions popped out already, this journey had started and 4.35 was the first version to get it, but it wasn’t developed in 2 years. This is FAR from being “just” an API upgrade (which actually wouldn’t be so hard to do compared to what was actually done) but a whole GFX engine rebuild from the ground up. DX11 is the API yes, but the fact that you have now almost double renderer FPS, that is because of the engine, not the API.

I know a lot of games have the same treatment but when it is to criticize POS software that you paid , this is supposed to be sarcasm and bashing , but when it comes to a non commercial software made by non paid people it is supposed to be Humor ?
Sorry m8 this is not humor
-
don’t take it that serious.
BMS has a lot more supporters around the world.

Yea… let them talk man, we will keep delivering. I take all jokes in the world about me (and in this case I feel BMS is also part of me), what counts eventually isn’t what some joker thinks.

Well, I’ve uninstalled every other sim yesterday other than 4.35 (except Aerowinx PSX). So thank you all for your hard work!

While I still think what I think … yes , you are true on this .

So much jalousy …
You guys are really probably doing very well
BMS or nothing !
cheers,

You guys do a fantastic job bringing more and more life into this platform. I’m always excited to see what you do next!
I also love how there is minimal hype around whatever the next update will be. As in, the only hype comes from a word of mouth type of deal rather than a deliberate and planned tease by the devs. It’s nice to be suddenly surprised by a new BMS feature every 2-4 years with a hotfix here and there.
With new theaters and campaigns being released all the time and finding new friends to fly with - there’s always a new chapter of BMS around every corner. I’ll be playing this sim for DECADES to come.
Also, it’s unbelievable to think BMS is absolutely, 100% free! I honestly forget sometimes.

good news for me is that the dx12 upgrade card on my old pc does the job for now I would love to see the new ground textures. ,but I knew this was not going to happen with 4.35 . Those ppl that made the video do not read the forums enough it seems. I found the video funny because I know sooner or later 4.36 will change the whole scenery ,I don’t think
Devs are really offended and sure don’t feel that way if we want to be honest . -
Lets see it in another way … consider it as a self-mockery to relativize the seriousness of some very hyped advertisements we can see elsewhere.
Thank to Bad Boy … I see it a total different way now.

Great to hear, Dee-Jay. The timing of the BMS 4.35 trailer and release was so close to the DCS announcement that it had to ruffle a few feathers. Biggest compliment you can get, in my opinion
-
I deinstalled the other Game that calls itself a sim. Not going to ask for a refund. BMS all the way, been with Falcon 4 since 1999, loving every hours spent on it and more than ever I am behind you vous from the BMS team.
Don’t let little minded people ruin it for you guys, we are with you and we value what we have trough you. Thank you again BMS team, and the fact that even on Christmas Day we all talk, it shows that we have love and passion for this sim.
Merry Christmas to the BMS team, we love you guys.

Well only one sentence for the video:
Don’t just say, act on it.In general I laughed with it, it’s humorous… Im waiting for the Hitler version…
It’s easy to talk outside the work. Get in and contribute, if someone didn’t get the sentence.
At least now we all have an updated platform to work on…Στάλθηκε από το MI 5 μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk

Hey … YOU better DONT!!
Although I must confess, have to congratulate on his cynical and funny constructive criticism approach… his last words “03:31 - 03:36 That’s enough, it’s not a big deal, man!” really means , > “ah, ok, I’ll wait” - as I see it;)
So, its not the end of the world, ya know?!!
02:36 - 02:39I'm gonna put my telescope to the monitor 02:40 - 02:42and take some pictures of the night sky.
Think I’m gonna do that too, … it looks ****ing beautiful … so Thanks
And THANKS for the BIG fonts on hud,…And Merry Christmas
