@Virus Try to adjust set g_fVRZOOMFOV 60 in "falcon bms.cfg file. Maybe from 60 to 50?
Its at the bottom of the file, which is in “C:\Falcon BMS 4.37\User\Config” folder

Back to NORDIC, yeeah. Living up North i love this Theater. Especially with Finland entering NATO and Sweden following on. Nordic Theater more realistic than ever

RE: Looking for advices
@williang83 Hi. I just received my Pimax Crystal, and yes, it is absolutely readable. Everything in the cockpit is clear. Even the smallest text on the kneeboard, the hydraulic gauges etc. I had 8kx, but Crystal is a lot better. I run it at 90 FPS airborne, 40-50 FPS on the ground. Same as with 8KX. Sweetspot is a lot bigger, seems to me almost the entire wiev actually. The FOV is smaller than the 8KX, but the clarity is worth it. I adjust the IPD up to 70 to get bigger FOV, whitout distroying clarity. Strange, but it works. I run the Crystal on a I9-9000 and a 4090 GPU. I use two mouses to interact in the cockpit, and find it ok.

RE: Looking for advices
@williang83 My best argument for choosing FSSB (i have FSSB R3L MKII ULTRA) is the presiceness and accuracy in steering the plane. I was a lousy wingman flying close formation, and i never made contact with the tanker for air refuling with the old thrustmaster cougar stick. Now i can do both, so i highly suggest FSSB. Maybe not the ULTRA, but FSSB something. Its not moving, like the real thing, and its super precise, also after many, many hours of hard use.
I still use my thrustmaster cougar throttle, and its ok.
VR choice is really depending on budget, PC and use. I am planning for the PIMAX 12K myself, due to fantastic reviews for the PIMAX Crystal (the little brother), i only hope my PC can run a 12K. 72 HZ will be fine. -
RE: Looking for advices
Hi Williang83
If i should by all new, and i had the money, say 8 grand, i would buy a computer with a 4090 GPU, 32 GB Ram and a really fast CPU.

F-16 throttle: ( https://fselite.net/content/watch-the-thrustmaster-f-16-throttle-quadrant-system-get-unboxed/ )
F 16 stick: F-16C Viper HOTAS Add-On Grip and mount it on a realsimualtor FSSB-r3-ultra ( https://realsimulator.com/fssb-r3-ultra/ )
Pedals at your own choice
I am aiming for this rig myself, only waiting for the Pimax 12K, because i have a Pimax 8k to trade in when the 12k is ready
Best of luckRegards Actionman

RE: Nordic Update
If we ever needed a Nordic update it is now.!
The reason is shown in the Youtube clip in the link below. Almost as if the Nordic developers have known the future for years now -
RE: VORPX latest verison hooks into Falcon BMS
It is possible to have a tutorial for beginners?
Step by step?
I bought vorpx some years ago but I was never able to make it to work (not only with bms, but with every game I tried).
ThanksTry this, it works for me. Hopefully for you as well…
First, start SteamVR. start opentrack before vorpx, then Falcon BMS last. remember to run Vorpx as administrator, and disable 3D in Vorpx (Alt-X)(only once).
Good cockpit- and terrain-resolution using ingame screenres 7776:4860 (16:10) stretched, and 60 HZ. Steam VR res = 20% gives 2488:2476 pr eye (Using “Normal” FOV in PIMAX 8KX)
In falcon BMS.cfg I am using: set g_fDefaultFOV 140 , set g_fMaximumFOV 140 , set g_fViewlimitPitchDown 90.0
Good luck. -
RE: BMS crashes to desktop when running in VR
After many CTDs with BMS 4.35.2 (especially BALKAN Theatre) and Vorpx, i have tested the following with good result: Run Vorpx as administrator, and disable 3D in Vorpx (Alt-X). Flew five missions in Balkan Theatre the last two days, no CTDs so far
Good 3D effects and 6DOF using Opentrack.

All in all pretty playable with ok 3D effects, good resolution, steady 60FPS and no more CTDs. Have fun everybody -

RE: VORPX latest verison hooks into Falcon BMS
Hi SpectrClaw. I am testing this myself and it works pretty well, unless that i CTD in Balkan mission. A few minutes aftervtakeoff, CTD every time. If i cirkle over the airfield its ok, but CTD when i starte otowards stearpoint two, a few miles away from airport. Maybe something with tiles on airport and away from airport… Will test it on screen tonight, without VORPX, to see if VORPX and tileset is the problem. I will also test with opentrack and virtual Desktop to rule out opentrack. The reason why i like opentrack/VORPX better than Opentrack/Virtual desktop, is less shivering/shaking in the image with Vorpx, and better 3D quality. For me Falcon BMS 4.35.2 works great with Korea and Nordic theatres, but not with Balkan 4.35.2, including update1.

RE: Nordic V3
I recommend in NORDIC V3 that Banak airfield (ENNA) is implemented. It is a perfect airfield to operate from, whatever side you play. Also have a couple of good restaurants/bars.:-D

RE: Bugs and issues Nordic 1.0
Hi Ranger822, Starrats and Neystratiou
Thanks for repying on the kneemap issue. I know there are different meenings about this. Within the group im flyimg with, im the only one doing this. A lot of work etc, but i love it when it works. That way i can have my eyes in the 3D pit most of the time, less on ipads and other screens in my homeoffice. Today we use each our IPAD to view the Datacards after saving them from WDP (sharing them on dropbox for each flight, so only one of us needs to save/broacast them). This is working well for everybody, but again, im one of the “other guys”, liking to have legs and kneemaps in the 3D pit……
Ranger822: I have sent you a description on how this is done in the Add-on Balkans for BMS 4.33 U3. Changing the parent numbers for the 33 different F16 models takes about 20 minutes for me after the installation of the theater, but i have absolutely no idea on how much work lies behind it on the developer side. Its not the end of the world, but for a few of us hobbypilots having legs and kneemaps in the 3D pit gives more virtuality to the game in a pitch black home office.Regards Actionman

RE: Bugs and issues Nordic 1.0
Hello anyone
Does anyone know how to get pilot legs in the cockpit in the NORDIC theatre? I tried to exchange !cockpilmodel2! for the different versions in the cockpit.dat files, as described in “Balkan 4.33 readme”, but it didnt work out well in the Nordic cockpit.dat files… WDP 3.7.5.92.7 is working great, but i miss to have the kneemap displayed on the legs in the cockpit.

RE: Nordic navigation stuff
Hello Nikos.
Im looking forward to see your great work in Nordic release 2
How do you get pilot legs in the cockpit in the NORDIC theatre? I tried to exchange !cockpilmodel2! for the different versions in the cockpit.dat files, as described in “Balkan 4.33 readme”, but it didnt work out well in the Nordic cockpit.dat files…
WDP 3.7.5.92.7 is also working great, but i miss to have the kneemap displayed on the legs in the cockpit. -
