We have ‘butted heads’ in numerous posts. I want to say here that it is my thinking that much of this is based on differing points of view …. honest disagreements based on how we each approach the software and/or the expectations we have of it. Case in point:
…., as for backing up with facts with regard to the cougar, not a problem, compare the following web page to the BMS.key file, youll find every command marked HOTAS is linked to the Cougar or Real F16 stick.
I don’t think you’ll find anyone who argues with this in a broad, general sense. However, my point of view is somewhat different. I don’t see ‘HOTAS’ commands as being Cougar-centric, I see them instead as being Realism-centric. They indicate which callbacks/modeled functions exist on the real F16 HOTAS. I also see them as being guide-posts for anyone who is setting up their HOTAS (Cougar or otherwise) …. they, along with the BMS -1, guide the user on which functions and callbacks mimic the real jet.
It is available to, and up to, the individual user to implement or not implement them in their own keyfile in a way that makes sense to and pleases that particular user. I am NOT saying modifying those commands or keyfiles to fit this or that HOTAS is easy. I am saying it is my opinion that it is do-able with a modest (and, imho, reasonable) amount of effort and thought.
OTOH, I have numerous keyfile callbacks set that might make those in search of ‘perfectly simulating’ a real F16 sick to their stomach. That is their problem, not mine. There is no prohibition against a given user to defining their own threshold or tolerance for ‘realism’. In fact, that latitude is built in to the sim in many different areas.
….This marvellous CMS lol great lets get it on our HOTAS, ive just programmed it all into my joystick, not my hotas and low and behold. CMS Forward, drops chaff flare pre programmed package 1 - 4, CMS Down and Right do squat, but they have to be there because they are on the F16 stick, CMS left just says chaff flare and does nothing so that will be program 6 or the slapswitch. …
An example of how that differing approach and point of view effects two different users.
I had no problem referencing the BMS -1 (C:\Falcon BMS 4.32\Docs\Falcon BMS Manuals\BMS-Dash1.pdf) to understand the function of the CMS Right and CMS Down commands as well as the callbacks associated with them. There was a question of determining where (or whether) to put them on my Saitek X52 and/or X52 Pro controller. AND there was the need to understand how to modify the keyfiles and/or create DX commands to do so.
However, once done, they do function exactly as advertised in the -1.
In many cases you’ve posted, it’s not a question of ‘It doesn’t work.’ Instead it seems to me a question of ‘It doesn’t work the way I thought it did’, or ‘I don’t understand how it works.’ If you chose to approach the software as it actually functions as opposed to how one thinks it ought to function, you may find that you’ll have more success …. but possibly a steeper learning curve.
IMHO.

YMMV. -
He unfortunately will return this is not first account.
Are we shore this isn’t TagNight, Might be his Father ?
PS: I don’t know how this “User Group” will get by now your leaving Gyro.
Gyro you arrived here with the belief you were going to be the solution to every ones problems, you had all the answers.
There was no subject where your vast experience could not enlighten.
Did you think every one here were idiots or computer illiterates.
Or you were the only one who has followed Falcon through its extended life.Mate I visited your Web Site, I read every page as well as your “About me”
For a one man show you present your self as proficient in every area of IT hardware and software.Buddy I would like to wish you all the best for your future but after reading your bullshit posts here I think you need some tough love and begin to realize you need to take a reality check.
One small example. You said you don’t own Track IR cause it gives you a sore neck. How do you know it gives you a sore neck?
And any one that calls you out on your erroneous post you make disparaging comments about.
You don’t actually fly Falcon, do you. How many hours did you put in this week. Come on do tell.Why am I raving ? Cause a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing. And you sir are a danger to new or unwary members here.
I thought I was an ignorant know-it-all. Well maybe I still am.
So a good day to you, here’s your hat what’s you hurry.

At first I wondered who is this Gyro guy, does he have or point or is he just spouting nonsense? Then I read this part:

:uham:

I will hug you Gyro.
World needs some lovin’

You could have tried using the Ignore function Gyro it works like a charm. Their no other great sim than Falcon BMS. Relax or take a vacation.

I also was troubled with gyro’s posts I though he has some past connection and came here to take it out, but for this time being I believe we went to the other side. He is a man down and we still beat him. He got the message I believe.
Asking to block your account has a base. BMS is addictive and even though u have some problems u can’t resist to login and see what’s going on. So the man asks to protect him from his self actually. -

This post is deleted! -
OMG. I just bothered reading this whole thread. Gyroscope a little bit out of balance here??
@ Gyro: Little advise - it is not wanting the best of everything, but making the best of everything

guys,
BMS fora are not social services, use Facebook for that
-
whow what a troll. my popcorn bag is already empty
respect to that men. But a good read of the dash-1, join a VFW for training, read the entire forum before asking would have been better for his ego and come
with good explained questions that are based on facts, pictures for prove.Ask Gyro (that is a good one)
maybe we have to change the 3 to 4 falcon weeks into => ask gyro.
this way he gets a little bit credit for his …… (you fill the blancs) -
Are we shore this isn’t TagNight, Might be his Father ?
As I am 99.8% sure that Smasha is Tagman, I am 98.9% sure that Gyro isn’t the same. But 100% sure that Gyro were Rateye.
There are now at least three sociopaths here: Tagman, Gyro, and I
I should start a club lol … Who wants to join?

Can I join, do I qualify.

I just wonder why a thread like this wasn’t closed after the first post, it’s just setting a new standard for personal attacks IMO. For a new user this thread could be seen as bullying.

I think it is a good example of what can be the life of this forum… And things would have been posted anyway, here or elswhere. Maybe better let this thread die by itself.

FI would call it light entertainment. Don’t take this to seriously ,were here to have fun too. Well I am.
PS: Thanks BMS forum for providing a source of education, humour, stress relief and a opportunity to connect with other Falcon would be’s.

Pick me ! Pick me ! :mrgreen:
In fact, X sounds like sociopath pretty much.
Ok.
You are even promoted to “big boss” rank! Congratulations!
Now we are five then.
