Ff you could have one thing in the next update it would be…

I couldn’t remember if it was HQ clicking or something else I was thinking of, so I didn’t want to say this without being able to look at the folder first. But it’s only HQ right? No SEC preample?
BMS-Manual page 258 explains it:
HAVE QUICK ambient noise: /q or –-quick
If present this switch adds some ambient noise to the incoming voice stream on the UHF radio that
simulates the clicking effect that you hear when the radio is in HAVE QUICK II frequency hopping mode.Aside from the immersion I find it extremely useful in multiplayer because based on the presence or absence of the HQ chirps I know instantly whether the transmission was on UHF or VHF.

I think before you knock the models you should spend some time in the Community Mods thread. And understand a little more about the history and development of the sim. There are a number of excellent models out there, but the BMS team imposes very specific limits on the models included with the default installation, in an attempt to allow people with all kinds of varying systems to still play the game, not just super-gaming machines. If you want fancier models, download them and install them. I would recommend not trying to just copy and paste them though…
If you mean the F-16 models I’m not talking about them, the stock F-16 looks fine. Some of the others are terrible like the A-50. The updated models in Balkans are an example of what should be done and they don’t need a super PC at all. I’ve looked at the mods threads and googled and haven’t found any updated models except F-16 and F-18.
There is already some good new models in Balkans like I mentioned, now why can’t htey put them in Korea? Actually Couger said you can do it with LOD editor, well i had a go at it but couldn’t get it to work and don’t really ahve the time to do it. Just seems like it could be done quite easily but no one can be bothered.

You answered your own question, and ignored my explanation. It isn’t as easy as just clicking a button (yet…). But that’s not the point I was trying to make. Look at the A-10 model, or the B-1 model, Mig-29, F-15, T-80, etc… Look at JanHas’s thread and the models from his website, which include a lot more than just the F-16s. The point is, the game is older than most of the models. There are limits on what can be done, how it gets done, and who does it. Not every modeler in different theaters is willing to let their work be disseminated. The ones who do, don’t always make their models up to the specific requirements. And nobody gets paid anything to do any of it. If you got a ton of cash and want to hire a few professional 3D artists to make some models, which you can then donate for free to the community, I’m sure nobody would object. But again, I think you’re veering outside your lane. It’s never as simple as just copy paste.
True I know it isn’t done by professionals and is done for free and I’m grateful, BMS is really good, I’ve played a lot of flight sims and BMS is the best IMO. But the thread is what do you want well i think some new models are in order. I was hoping some might agree…
I have looked at jan has didn’t find anything I’ll look agian.If no one agrees with me fine but I think it’s a good idea…

Thanks for bothering to explain it a bit rather than just a silly childish comment. I assume you just get the Balkans stuff, I haven’t really seen any problems but I haven’t used it much it was just for a test really now it’s on stock.
this is even amazing that you didnt get immediate CTD.
you know that all airbases ATC taxi points etc… are all in this folder right ? …as you can imagine, you broke 100% of your airbases then
to properly import a model, you need a proper rebuilt of the 3DDB with proper parent update and LOD import

Don’t worry, you’ll have plenty of new models to look at in first 4.34 release
We invited some talented artists to the team, and we had already some too working like crazy (Radium, Lazy, Eghi), a little less crazy (Waveydave and Pumpy). Hayab is slowly getting back too :). Amraam seems quite busy with RL at the moment, too bad so sad, he had some nice ongoing projects. I hope he catches up some day :). I even restarted Osan AB (somewhere above in this topic). I have to start unwrapping and texturing but I don’t have much time at the moment, maybe in a couple weeks…
I guess it’s a matter of available time but they are all doing a great job in any way they can ;).
I miss Sunny, Recker, Bonedust and Gunman tough.

Actually I just tested a Korea campaign AI F-16s taxid and took off as normal… most of the airbases are the same and generic but Osan is unique and it worked. Anyway it was just an experiment I wouldn’t take it too seriously.
I might test it some more if I find any problems I’ll let you know.Just watched AI F-15s and F-16s taxi and takeoff from Kunsan, a unique airbase, and Kangnung, a generic airbase, as normal with no problems…

Sounds good. Most of the models are good there’s just a few that are old like Falcon 4.0 1998 vintage lol.

More than a few…

Oh, the teasing!

If memory serves me right, it’s been asked and discussed a few times (to death?) already, but after tonight’s flight, I’d like to request more realistic SAM response times (again). :rolleyes:
Flew perfect terrain masking (no nails before, and visually checked in ACMI) towards an unsuspecting Rookie SA-6, in the dead of night. Coming over that final hill at 8.4NM, however, I get spiked instantly, the SA-6 launches after exactly 5 seconds, and another 15 seconds later, I’m hit… 4 seconds later, the second missile impacts. :shock:
Seems a bit unlikely if I knew exactly where that guy was, how I could avoid him, and he still caught me with my pants down. Also makes low level flying a bit moot, imo… (except for increased cool factor, of course )

The F-16 does work like that normally, yes.

Having seen 3 new Handoff/Boresight threads in the last few weeks, I’d like to see you be able to fly with a TGP without requiring the Handoff, because that is not how it works on all aircraft. And the boresight process itself is a little…off. You can do it manually without the TGP, and the handoff doesn’t immediately fail just because you “didn’t” do it. If the MAV sensor is able to identify the intended target despite not being boresighted it will complete handoff, and if it doesn’t you can reject it. Also, there are some systems where you can put the MAV in boresight mode and manually slew the pointer inside the View without the TGP at all (say if you were boresighting against the hud for instance…), but I’m not sure about the F-16 specifically in that regard.
git gud

Well, if you don’t display the WPN page while you use the TGP page, you can definitely fly with a TGP without requiring the Handoff.
Find the target with the TGP, lock it, then and only then display the WPN page (by a DMS-right or DMS-left) and “manually” lock the target on the WPN page. You’ll get no failed Handoff. -

I agree. Having to go through the boresighting process without being able to do it on the ground makes it even more difficult than in real life.
A simple option enabling players to skip the boresighting process altogether if they wish to do so would be fine. As it is now, the system creates a lot of headaches, and a lot of irritation for many players as well. -
They could add 3 options to choose from:
-Launchers always misaligned (need BSGT).
-Launchers only misaligned if your previous flight had different launchers/weapons loadout on certain pylons. This would simulate simply adding MAVs on the already loaded and boresighted launchers.
-Launchers always aligned (no need for BSGT).I personally never had issues with BSGT and i never complained about MAVs in 4.33. I was happy to see realistic MAVs when 4.33 came out.

As it is now, the system creates a lot of headaches, and a lot of irritation for many players as well.I think most people here make far too great a deal over MAV boresight on deck…there are many ways to do it (even in RL), and that about sums up what I read folks doing here. The BMS procedure is very RL, people just have some negative training about how to use MAV now because it’s been off-kilter in the past. AFAIC, MAV is “fixed” and fine now.
What I’d really like to see is the inclusion of LMAV…
