Balkans 4.33.1 HOTFIX 2 for Falcon BMS 4.33 Update 1….Obsolete thread. Link removed

btw, static port height is implemented
so if airport elev is 10 feet, altitude will be 16 while on the ground. Because the probes are around 6-7 feet from the ground
That explains the difference between AC and external view by 6-7 feet (when altimeter is set correctly again) -
Thanks guys, with the altimeter set to local pressure it indeed reads about 10 feet altitude on my end.
@Nikos: If you check the MAIP overview table it’ll show 48’ in the “elevation” column.
Sure BMS doesn’t simulate different elevations on a single airbase (or so I’ve read).
All the best, Uwe

@Red:
btw, the altimeter should never indicate 0 ft AGL when set correctly

That explains the difference between AC and external view by 6-7 feet (when altimeter is set correctly again)Well my friend, your words are fine for real world.
But in BMS, they have no apply. I’m sure that you know that altimeter has readings of multiply of 10, right?
And if you check Casale airport in Balkans, you will verify that altimeter reads 0 FT ;).Thanks guys, with the altimeter set to local pressure it indeed reads about 10 feet altitude on my end.

Uwe, it is nice to check before post.
So in the Balkans theater, into the “Docs” folder we have 2 MAIPs pdf, this one “MAIP Balkans theater.pdf” and this one “MAIP Balkans theater2.pdf”.
If you check page 10, you will see this below:
It is very clear in the header that said TDZE 0 FT, and NOT 48 as you state.
There is NO overview table in MAIPs, for sure you confuse this!

the ground is at 0ft, but the altimeter will read 5-7 feet above that in the BMS cockpit
So it is implementedif tile elevation is 10 feet like at Kunsan
the aircraft will report 16 feet.
Best way to check it is to go external view and note the altitude
it will be airport elevation + height of the static port 10+6 = 16 feet -
@Red:
Nope
the ground is at 0ft, but the altimeter will read 5-7 feet above that in the BMS cockpit
So it is implementedO.k. here is a photo of cockpit in Casale of Balkans theater in BMS 4.33 U1. You can see that reads 0 FT (it is in BARO set).
Can you please post a photo that show 5-7 FT or anything except of a multiply of 10 FT?

re-read my message please

Check your altimeter and you’ll see that it accounts the 6 feet difference
At least id does for me on Kunsan -
@Red:
re-read my message please
Copy that my friend.
But again, I was talking for altimeter reading, and not any other altitude infos.
Our words are still there…@Red:
Nope
the ground is at 0ft, but the altimeter will read 5-7 feet above that in the BMS cockpit
So it is implementedPlease don’t take wrong my words, no offending here.

No worries. It’s sometimes hard to pass these small détails in writing
My point was if you want to check airport elevation to the slighest number, make sure you don’t take it from there unless you account for the 6 feet difference.
the best way to get airport elevation is the tile elevation from monster tool
(since the discussion above was about a possible mismatch in the airport elevation) -

(since the discussion above was about a possible mismatch in the airport elevation)recon should work as well.
in addition,
please remember that altimeter reading in BMS changes with temperature. -
@Nikos: I had the wrong document… the reference to an elevation of 48’ is in 1108_balkanNav.pdf (or similar).
All the best, Uwe

i have folded wheels on the C-130 when taxi……last week all was good, now the folded wheels, any explanation?

Did you move acdata files around? I’ll check it tonight

didnt do anything, only new directx version…

Good morning,
I have attempted to install the Balkans prior using the instructions, but cant seem to get it to work. I have deleted the add-on Balkans from the folder, and pasted the update 1 to my desktop and commenced to installing it again, it still shows that I have a version on 4.33, and the software tried to uninstall it, but it stalled. Can anybody shed some light on this?Thanks for your time.

Make sure you theater.lst file does not have the line for the Balkans in it. It is in the …data/terrdata/theaterdefinitions folder…just open it with notepad and delete the line that says add-on Balkans…
