Save Air Start Cockpit Settings
-
Hi,
In campaigns, I do only air starts and will always have to set up certain knobs/switches like radios channels, panel lighting, HSD range etc. to my liking. Is there a way to save these so I do not have to do them each time?
Thanks in advance.

Look at the Keyboard Layout pdf. There’s a combo Alt+C S, which saves cockpit defaults. Never tried it but it should do what you want

Tried that. Unfortunately, it only saves my preferred UHF/VHF radio channels. It wouldn’t save my settings for HSD range, internal/external lighting, waypoint number.

you can set a lot of stuff through WDP which is saved to your callsing.ini

Ignore, found the doc explanation
Why would you want to set your wingspan? And why is the setting different to the wingspan in the box to the right - assuming you are in an F16?

Wingspan is not your own wingspan, the with of the funnel for gunfight

Apologies for the long reply. Maybe 2 possibilities if you are willing to put in the time and effort:
1) Training Scripts that configure the cockpit setup in a Training Mission or Tactical Engagement, but not in a Campaign (Scripts were designed to be an automated training system). The BMS Technical Manual will explain. You can script any key file callback and more.
Typical script command:
//Show Frame Rate
SimCommand OTWToggleFrameRate- free
- script using a text editor
- script key file callbacks such as OTWToggleFrameRate
- Any computer programming or scripting experience will make this task much easier
- if you have created your own key file before, this will take minimal investment of time
- if haven’t created a key file before, there will be some days of learning and testing but you can get it to work.
- can’t be done in a campaign
- maybe a week or more of time to script, hours if programming experience?
Resources:
BMS-Technical-Manual.pdf in Docs folder
some example scripts in Falcon BMS/Data/Campaign/2) Voice Attack or similar voice control software. For example, This allows you to say “Set Up Cockpit” and it will configure the cockpit according to your scripting.
Also, there is a free plugin for Voice Attack which you don’t have to script and will set up what you need.- free test version limited to 20 commands
- simple environment to script in
- other users have provided profiles which means modifying but not starting from scratch
- Any computer programming or scripting experience will mean you will get the exact results you want
++ use in all games and software or to control your PC, not limited to BMS
- $10 (U.S. dollars) for unlimited version of Voice Attack
- headset or microphone a must
- an hour or two to train the PC to recognize your voice
- maybe a week or more of time to script from scratch?
