i don’t think there is a set speed. just a bracket and posssibly squadron specific. 300 kts works in bms. never flew them at 350 - 270 in bms so not sure how the jet would behave or slow down in the turn to final. but i’m assuming that will work as well. afaik there are no offical publicized documents that give speeds and such.

RE: Overhead break speeds
hey Snowman.
did a bit of googling and essentially what i found out is that there is no set speed.
you might’ve seen this one already but here it’s flown very aggressively but with a starting speed of 315 kts at 1660 agl (i did notice his radar altimeter kept working at that bank angle… naise)https://www.f-16.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13328 here the 2nd to last post is the most informative but it concerns tactical overheads and not normal overheads.
https://man.fas.org/dod-101/sys/ac/docs/11-F16V3.pdf pages 20-22 are an interesting read. but again don’t give exact numbers, just a bracket to fly in. and it’s a document from 1995 so old procedures.
https://www.bits.de/NRANEU/others/END-Archive/afi11-2f-16v3.pdf this one is from 1999 and has conflicting information with the previous one on where the break should be initiated. no set speeds given, but it does give specific points on where the jet should be on short final.
i think real life there’s a lot more leeway in how the overhead is flown compared to how we fly it in the sim, as long as certain parameters are met as described in the above 2 documents.

RE: IKAROS Theater v4.1.0
We have pinpointed a problem that causes random ctd. It has been fixed
can we expect this update relatively soon? because i’m working on missions for a LAN-meeting for my squadron and it makes it really annoying to save after every single step just to pre-empt this random CTD, it’s practicly unworkable for me in terms of frustration levels. i want to use this theater as it offers exactly what i need and it’s something else than Balkans, ITO or KTO. but i may have to switch theaters just for my own sanity.
hoping for some good news.

RE: IVC
so what if everyone has to do it… according to you EVERYONE had that problem. it’s not a multiplayer critical component so you can leave the settings as is no matter where you fly. and i would call pages 252-265 pretty damn comprehensive, every setting has a definition and explenation with lower and upper ranges for the variables.

RE: IVC
There are a lot of people who don’t like the way the distancing is implemented, specifically the 2D/3D inter-communications (Particularly the GCI crowd out there). Most F16s out there, and all the other stuff flying in the theaters, has had SATCOM capabilities for some time so AWACS-Jet or GCI (Read 2D)-Jet comms should not be affected by the distancing or degradation. Settings are virtually undocumented. Range is not quite right the way it degrades between players who are both in 3D. Modern radios (Like the 210) have much better squelch and tone control, as well as better amps and some antenna trickery so you don’t get nearly as much gradual degradation from range.
None of that he would be able to fix without reverse engineering it…but you asked.
It’s hard to say one way or another because he didn’t say WHAT he wanted to mod.
this can be fixed by a simple tweak in the ivc.ini which can be located here “Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Bin\x86\IVC”
# See chapter 14.5 of the BMS manual for detailed explanation of available options. # File to be saved in //localinstall/bin/x86/IVC/ #duplex = 0 #server = XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX #connect = 0 #nickname = Callsign #port = xxxx #key-hook = 0 # the line underneath this one activates havequick, it's an audible gimmick for UHF quick = 1 #word = password #capture = sound_device #nofx = 0 #playback = sound_device #tone = #loudness = 0 #fuzz = 0 #hum-level = 0 #hiss-level = 0 #toneVol = 0 #uhf = 307300 #vhf = 1234 #uhfVol = 0 #vhfVol = 0 #the line underneath this line affects 2d comms to the 3d, with this setting set to all there will be no distance propogation from 2d to 3d so 3d can hear it all over the map. outsiders = all #log = 0 #minimize = 0 #force-local = 0 selfblock = 1
the documentation for the ivc.ini can be found in “bms-manual.pdf” which is located in “Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Docs\Falcon BMS Manuals” from page 251 to 274.
it’s pretty well documented though not all features are operable from what i could test, specificly squelch and distortion and such, but i’m hoping this is fixed in the next update. but there’s a decent chance that i tested this wrong.you are correct about distance propogation. real life is easily 200nm from what i’ve heard from airline pilots which use the same uhf radio instead of the 120nm which is the max distance in bms. which honestly is too little. but then again theatre’s arent that large so maybe artistic freedom?
i hope you apreciate the effort i went through to look up the specific locations and pages of where you can find what you want. so i now say to you with the best of meanings and intentions to RTM :rolleyes:

RE: How do clients leave clock stopped on dedicated server?
have a look over at falcon online, specificly their TS server, i believe it is archer over there who does their dedicated server, and they’ve been doing it for years so i’d say they are pretty much experts. also there is one guy from a french wing called rapaces (forgot his callsign) but he can be found over there as well (on the forum) who also has a ton of experience hosting dedicated servers

RE: IVC
well an app with a UI to alter values and settings and balloons that explain what does what would be nice.
should not be too hard to code. in the end all it changes is the ivc.ini file. though i’m not a coder but i can’t imagine it being to hard to change values in a file. i could code something in qbasic with a simple interface to do so so doing so with a proper GUI shouldn’t be to difficult.
i have no idea wether qbasic is even runable still in a windows enviroment since it moved away from being a dos based OS

RE: IVC
in what way do you want to modify it?
there are a fair number of paramters that you are free to change that are included

modify the basedir line to point towards your installation.
and save this as “bms.reg” and then double click it and allow it to add the information to your registry.ofcourse this is only for bms 4.33.3 which as dbond posted needs falcon4 installed somewhere on your computer. as of 4.33.1, all previous versions are now considered illegal

RE: Track IR Recommendations
As I have a TrackIR 5 myself for quite a couple of years now I find it very good. However; it’s quite a steep price. If I were to do it all over again I’d go for the metal Delanclip, which is the same as a trackclip Pro from TrackIR only made out of solid metal, and a PS3 Eye cam in conjuction with Facetrack Noir or Freetrack. Saves you about €100…
that was the name of the clip… forgot what it was called…
facetracknoir is not worth the hassle, it’s shaky and not worth the time to setup tune and tweak only to throw it away later in frustration. (though by far the cheapest solution) free track with that clip could work, esp with the ps3 cam which is reporterdly at 120fps? iirc, possibility there.
plenty of people went before you though grim wreaper so i suggest to google but also to search this forum (as google does not crawl this board so no topics will pop up from here with a google search). trackir is expensive but 2nd hand it’s less so. but it’s almost worth it’s exorbitant price…
and the trackclip pro… it’s price is criminal for it’s quality
