Hello
NOTE: THIS IS AN OPTIONAL MOD, FALCON WOULD STILL WORK STANDALONE
A short intro:
We have developed the DCS for MSFS Mod, which allows pilots to fly MSFS aircraft with DCS flight physics.
See it in action on youtube. Download it here. Github here
Falcon BMS
FalconBMS is a great simulator, but facing an uphill battle regarding graphics. The more other sims advance graphics, the harder it will become to attract new players to BMS. Here is another way forward that may play to BMS’s strenghts while bypassing its weakness.
Since most of the work was alredy done in making MSFS accept external flight data, it would be fairly easy to adapt Falcon to render in MSFS. So my question is, would there be sufficient interest to bring FalconBMS to MSFS ?
Stage 1
Intially, it would link only the flight model. This can be done fairly quick in 1-2 days. All that has to be done from code side is exporting the Falcon aircraft telemetry and flight surface positions over a socket connection, this is 2-3 pages of code not more. See how this is done for DCS. We are not experienced with Falcon modding so support from the BMS team is needed.
Stage 2
Stage 2 would involve importing the 3D exterior model and cockpit for the F-16 to MSFS. This would allow to fly the FalconBMS aircraft in MSFS VR.
Stage 3
Stage 3 would invlove importing enemy aircraft, missiles 3D models and effects to MSFS, so that missiles can be rendered in MSFS for aerial PvE combat.
Stage 4
Stage 4 would involve importing ground targets to MSFS and linking the world locations. This would allow entire BMS campaigns to be played inside MSFS graphics.
