Tried the ramp start tutorial…...

Actually not the case. Unless that is you are trying to fly on a 15 inch monitor. Even when I was only using a single 25 inch monitor the look is about right to the real thing.
I have keratoconus in my eyes and my left had a detached retina.
My eyes aint the best.
I have 1 23 inch monitor. -
Actually not the case.
I 100% confirm.
In the real airplane, things are TOTALY diferent, and even if you know perfectly by heart your procedures, lesson and checklists, as soon as you have your ass tighten in the seat, you instentaneously loose 20% of you capacity … close the canopy and you loose another 30% …
Trust me, it is way easier in front of your screen on your deskchair -
Sounds like your my time zone.
We actually have a TE called “Boat Race”
I dunno about that Boat race…

Try this web site to get a picture of the control panel that you can expand to be as big as you want http://www.xflight.de/pe_org_doc.htm Unfortunately it doesn’t have each panels name but you should get the gist.

Way over my brain’s capacity this sim Tiffy.
Had a bout of clinical depression yesty after getting the F4 blues again.
Best for my health if I stay away.
I’ll never be able to learn this sim.
I couldn’t back in the days when f4 was patched by the 1.08 patch.
My mind just doesn’t have the capacity to learn and remember things.
I think that’s why I drum all the time.
Not because I want to play in a band,because it is a great way of stopping depression.
Playing in a band is a sure fire way of getting depression because everyone has their own motivations.
Once I have a clear mind,which might be when I die,then I will be able to tackle Mount Eerest.
Anyway,Flight simming isn’t a thing that is good for a mind that spins like a top.
I need fast movement to counterractthe fast movement of my mind,the anxiety.Flight simming is designed for someone with the most relaxed and stable mind of all.
Explains why I’m a drummer and not a guitarist as guitar playing involves more sitting down and studying and being patient.
When your mind is spinning ,that concept goes out the window.
When I drum,I set the metronome at a slow tempo and just play quarter strokes and that is a good way of getting the anxiety out.
LOL ,this post turning into a musical lesson.
P.S. I will probably give the Spitfire a go in IL@ CLOD.
That is the greatest plane in the history of air combat and it looks so cool with the eliptical wings.Plus I don’t need to be patient and lose it.
With that plane in the sim,getting off the ground is an achievement.
The F16 is too easy but all the controls are too hard lol.I want the feel of the physics in my hands ,that feel of movement.
Maybe get a fan and blow that on me.

Best of luck in your future endeavors Smasha. Have a good one mate.

So you are a pilot DEE-Jay.
No wonder you know how to play this.
I reckon that is what you need to get any semblance of enjoyment out of BMS.
Signup to the airforce.How much does that cost?:D
You’re cheating!:p
Mate if I spent a fortune doing the REAL training,I could get good at it with proper instructors.
and you helped make BMS yes?
So you know the sim inside out.
So how many on here are actual real life pilots (cheats)?

If any time you want to teach me ,give me a holler on teamspeak.
P.S. I’m just starting to realise that most of the people on here that can fly BMS are real life pilots so I don’t feel so bad now because they have had the million dollar training.
Just did my 5km walk (head spinning like a top again).
-
The only thing i’m flying in real life is the desk in my office. I even haven’t a higher school degree, so you can feel bad again, mate
It was all learning and doing for years and still much left to learn
Edit: BTW, played drums for a few years myself, IMO harder to learn than BMS

I recorded an album in
Germany in 1988 on Steamhammer Records. -
haven’t piloted a real plane in my entire life.
My guess/advice; if you put as much effort and time in research, reading and practising basics of the sim as you do in crying about in here on the forum, you’d already be flying without major issues… :s -

I just don’t understand the lingo.
Obviously you don’t have the black dog on your shoulder going by the 3 ventures you run.
Try depression sometime.
It sucks everything out of you.I have to read a page 100 times before I understand it.
It’s easy to say just do this but in practice it’s no where near that easy mate.The basics of this sim aren’t the actual flying.
It’s the game of memory that kills me.Like bulls eye location nfi
Ramp start nfiThe memory and management things(the tedious boring stuff which doesn’t excite me to want to learn) which makes F4 bms more a strategy game than a flying simulation.
Reading that stuff requires good eyesight which I don’t have.P.S. Like your squadron Once a Tiger,Always A Tiger.
Love that as I’m a Richmond Tigers supporter here.

It’s something that needs dedication and hard work. And it requires willingness to look things up. What lingo don’t you understand? Have you tried google, this forum search etc? Have you mastered the basics about flying in general? Without those, why bother starting out with ramp starts and flicking switches you have no clue what they are used for? Learn to crawl before walk, you are like a toddler already crying it can’t run next to Usain Bolt. -

I could not hold a relationship to save myself.
I could never get married.
Do all those things you take for granted. -

Do all those things you take for granted.Seriously, if you have that kind of issues, all respect from my part. But then get another hobby and stop crying about it that you’ll never get it; or put your shoulders to it and get to work. Now you’re not getting anywhere on both matters…

Ican’t do things most people do.
Ican’t live like you do.I hate myself most of the times and think of suicide every night.
That’s why I struggle mate.

I practce and practice my drums for hours but if you aren’t a BUSINESS type ,you get nowhere in life.

Then go play drums instead of typing sad messages here? Jeezs, I’m out.

Ok Samsha …. Stop please.
Ok.
EDIT:
And no need to try to give a legitimity to this ****ing idea of virtual instructor. Not because it is basicaly stupid, but because we already told you that we can’t do this … And won’t anyway even if it was because too much demanding (would need several years) and because any normal brained person can learn the classic way.
If ppl are not able to remember serveral basic procedures, they should do something else. Not everybody is able to fly a jet, whatever if it is in a simulator or real life.
BMS is a F-16 study simulator, not a FPS video game.
So … May I suggest you to stop your comedy or you are gonna loose another acount.
