Coming Back: Been Away!! What are the future plans?
-
Hey all,
F/4, F/4-AF.and BMS…spent many many hours flying, reading. Life happens and I have been away for a couple of years (no not incarcerated!!).
Update 7 was 2013… what are the future plans?This has the potential to be the best flight sim in history – is it going to fade to black?
Thanks…Bill

Welcome back.
New update coming, is supposed to be a nice surprise and devs don’t like to talk about it, too much time wasted on answering questions and wishlists instead of programming. It will come when its done they say. Some things I remember reading that were said to be done (but could be delayed or removed of course) (you have to pick them up yourself through time reading various posts) are comm radio simulation (range and distortion), new building models textures and damage models, ground control for troops, better SOI, buddy lasing, improved AI flying, and more damage/failures when not paying attention to engine and flight envelope limits.
You can probably find more if you really want, just have to pay attention to what the devs post if you want to gather a list for yourself, since they are busy.

A planned feature list will be amazing, specially to pass time discussing things within users.

We all see this question coming up every few weeks and the thread always goes downhill, so we wanted to make it clear for new members there will not be a release date posted on this site. Any future threads about official BMS release dates may be closed with a link to this post.The forum rules will be updated with this info.

Well, thanks for the responses – I really hope the Dev’s get some good backing or whatever they need to get this flying as high as it should!! Command morphed from Harpoon – just an example of how persistence pays off. They are doing a great effort at keeping up a very small piece of the pie for PC games. Praying that BMS will morph as Command has to this point.
Thanks,…Bill -
No worries. It’s always nice to have something to look forward to
Closing the thread now as it’s run its course.
