Original sentence: “The “Route” formation is a loose formation which corresponds to an enlarged “Fingertip” formation.”
Corrected sentence: “The “Route” formation is a loose formation which corresponds to an enlarged “Fingertip” formation (SEE BELOW).”There’s actually no previous definition or mention of Fingertip formation. With some research I could write a paragraph defining it if you’d like (or require).I’m an idjit.
Also, this documentation is amazing. Thank you for spending so much time creating and maintaining it.

Page: 94Original sentence: “Both emitters create a microwave path ending at the runway threshold allowing aircraft to be guided in bad weather
until the pilot can see the runway to follow the ILS, pilots need to place their aircraft in the center of both cones and stay there until minimum. ”Corrected sentence: “These emitters create a path ending at the runway threshold allowing aircraft to be guided in bad weather until the pilot can see the runway to follow the ILS, pilots need to place their aircraft in the center of both cones and stay there until minimum. ”
or
Corrected sentence: “Both emitters create a radio path ending at the runway threshold allowing aircraft to be guided in bad weather until the pilot can see the runway to follow the ILS, pilots need to place their aircraft in the center of both cones and stay there until minimum. ”
ILS works in VHF and UHF frequency bands. MLS works in the microwave band.

@ALL
All fixed for U2 if valid. Thanks for reporting!

Document:
“Replacing music in BMS”Sorry, Micro, but this really needs an overhaul. References to 4.35, 4.36, and incorrect references to ‘ui1.ogg’ which is no longer used since BMS restructured their ambient filenames.

Can you explain more in detail?
I don’t understand. -

I don’t understand.Sorry–
I’m talking about the following text document:
Falcon BMS 4.37\
Docs\
Wallpapers & Goodies\
FALCON BMS - As Real As It Gets - SOUNDTRACK\
README - Replacing music in BMS.txtAt the bottom of the file, it’s signed
Cheers,
MicroSo I assumed you created it. It just needs a lot of updating.
Also, the link
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OW4p-LlVjlZiPcIkFOcvGA86tiLNg_rU/view?usp=sharing
doesn’t appear to be valid, either.
Finally, I would mention that there is a far easier method that doesn’t require messing with the soundrc.irc file at all. Just rename your downloaded *.ogg files to theme_1.ogg, theme_2.ogg, etc.

Right. I will delete this file because no need anymore for it. Thanks for clarification. I totally forget about this file.

Micro, with all respect, I find it highly improbable that I’m the only Falcon flyer who uses his own music. For the past 3 or 4 years, I’ve been replacing the standard *.ogg files with music by Karl Jenkins, a contemporary Welsh composer.
With an updated well-written tutorial that guides other flyers in replacing the “stock” 5 ambient files, I’m sure others would appreciate the helping hand as well. I don’t understand how suddenly there is no need for this now.
I would be happy to put together an updated text document that would to replace the folder you plan on discarding anyway (FALCON BMS - As Real As It Gets - SOUNDTRACK). I would name the text document ‘Using Your Own Custom Ambient Music.txt’, and it would explain a very easy way to do this. Let me know, and I’ll be happy to put together a draft for your review.
PS - I would also recommend renaming
from
07 Wallpapers & Goodies
to
07 Wallpapers & Misc -
Okay I will update. Thanks for your input.

@Micro_440th some Hornet doc tweaks, per discussion w/ MavJP https://forum.falcon-bms.com/topic/24703/questions-about-auto-throttle/31
Document: BMS-Naval-Ops.pdf
Page: 5
Original sentence:When the landing gear is extended for landing the pitch will trim the AoA. Manual adjustment is required of the pitch- trim to set the correct AoA for landing. The initial AoA trim value is taken when lowering the gear. So, it is very wise to map a trim switch to the control stick.
Corrected sentence:
The optimal approach AOA for the F/A-18C/D is 8.1°, which corresponds to the center of the E-bracket symbology on the HUD (and the orange circle on the indexer). With the landing gear and flaps extended, and airspeed below 250 knots, the Hornet's FCS will attempt to adjust pitch to control AOA. The initial target AOA trim value is established when moving the FLAP switch from AUTO to either HALF or FULL position -- this target AOA can be fine-tuned using the pitch-trim controls on your HOTAS or key-bindings, but only within a narrow range -- so it's important to engage the flaps when flying close to the optimal 8.1° approach AOA. (See also: auto-throttle approach-mode, below.)
Document: BMS-Naval-Ops.pdf
Page: 7
Original sentence:ATC APPROACH Mode – With the FLAP switch set to HALF or FULL the thrust is set to maintain the AoA when the ATC button is pressed.
Corrected sentence:
ATC APPROACH Mode – With the FLAP switch set to HALF or FULL, the throttle is manipulated mechanically to maintain the desired approach AOA (see Pitch-Trim, above) which was established when the flaps were extended, and fine-tuned by pitch-trim controls.
