RE: A golden era ahead for BMS
well we r over simplifying things…
DCS is a respected company with very good results. As much as I don’t like DCS and I tease - poke them all the time and I like it this is because I’m a satyr.
As I always say there is no actual comparison between DCS and BMS.
Yes they are on the same category GAME war flight sim and it’s easy to start point by point comparison.
BUT
DCS is a commercial company.
BMS is a company of friends for free.and this means BMS doesn’t care what DCS does to see them as direct competition. Even though some members might see it that way and maybe even act such well we all are errors making humans. It’s a human behavior. As a whole though BMS works way differently than a commercial company would do. The general rule is that each works on what he loves - likes.
Now if ppl and understand and comprehend this then whatever they say about comparing DCS and BMS are out of context and what they say makes no sense.
Both have their good and bad.
What BMS has good we say yea but see DCS doesn’t have it. and vice versa with the old lady with no teeth as BMS was described cause of lack of gfx.
bms are elitist bastards that play it hardcore and above all…
DCS is a censorship machine when you criticize them…
On DCS plus vote they delivered a single variant of F-16 in a considerable small amount of time… small cause if you take a look at BMS time still things are added for the F-16, well for all the F-16 variants but hey it’s 26 years of development and still adding, and have more to add??? yea it’s called free time. You see with this last how easy is to get in to a direct comparison.And all those stupid and wonderful things being recycled over the decades of both BMS and DCS.
Thankfully both have their maturity and focus.
Things go sideways some times, recent example on ED and the many times that BMS team of falcon team was dead and non existing anymore… etc etc…
Those will come again and again as users and circumstances bring them up…Users will continue with the no sense and base comparison as always…
The end point is user experience. in personal level do you enjoy it? either BMS or DCS well enjoy it and don’t make it a Jihad… there is no point. U r eager for features??? well don’t go Jihad up your sleeves and actively join the effort.
So as the thread tittle says yes it’s a golden era for BMS as it was always from the very beginning only this time in my personal opinion it’s more bright as more things get addressed, new members with full passion and love are added and bring magic with new features and address issues of the past.
That’s all from a former bms dev team member.

RE: Rypley's Hangar
just some small tips or info.
beign on DX for normals and in tangent color space is the thing for normals and BMS. blender is on OpenGL by default iirc.
high poly model on the high-low poly workflow doesn’t need uvw unwrap or mapping at all at least with substance painter (hope it’s the same for blender).
Using substance painter , again without actual knowledge on blender texturing, is quick, it helps with some anomalies or errors to be discovered in the transition and baking the basic maps from PT (PT=substance painter) also helps alot to find such hidden issues or have a great result.
The negative on the high-low poly workflow, is more time on the model and very good organization in order to be able to make changes if needed afterwards so not to search in a mess and mostly important to have a clean project as all this work will pass to BMS eventually and someone else in the future might have to deal with your model, so it must be clear in order to find his way in that.
using the High-Low poly workflow gives a great potential for more detailed models while you save triangles. But it introduces an important factor which is Texel-density. This is even without the term known to artists but with this workflow it comes even more important. So you might save tris in the model but in the UVW real estate you need more pixels, so your uv-islands (parts of the uvw of the 3D part) you must make them bigger , or increase the resolution or brake the texture from 1 to many. Here kicks in TexelDensity. This can assist if used correctly to determine Texel Density for your model parts and separate them to texel density groups and have an acceptable for u result without for every part going back and forth to fix things and maybe at the end to have to redo everything from scratch and save time.
Another important thing has to do with non English creators that use their native language to name parts in the 3D model.
So please use English and easy to understand names, example not “the upper thing” or “leva” or “changer” or whatever native word besides English.
If u ask well what we do with multipart objects? easy “piston-main” “piston-main-1” “piston-main-2”. I know it sounds harsh but besides future guys will also help you on a very complex model. -
RE: how easy is it to make 3d models for falcon bms?
just as a reminder blender exporter is in beta testing so 3dsmax will not be needed in order to create a falcon functional model.
this doesn’t mean max exporter will not exist.
it’s kinda hard to switch from one app to the other when you have many years of experience so creators will have both tools on their disposal. -

@jayb @Micro_440th thank u guys but the credits go to @B3rNO he created the original thing in his marvelous trailer 4.36 video. I just added some salt and pepper nothing more.

Hot List
First of all welcome to Falcon 4.0 BMS community forum. We hope and wish you enjoy your time here and become an active contributing member as well which is how this simulator exists in all it’s glory over the decades.
Let’s clear out that I’m not a BMS developer team member. Just a long time Falcon user and a community member for many years and bellow are all personal thoughts and guidance for you.
This is not a developers forum but lot’s of developers are members contributing with their knowledge and expertise.
Have in mind that the whole BMS project is a community build up project from people in their free time. No one is getting payed here for developing anything for BMS core or theater or add on or modification. Please don’t suggest payments or contributions… the team doesn’t accept it.
Mainly it’s an F-16 simulator regarding the airframe and a war simulator regarding the whole application with the famous falcon dynamic campaign which is unique in this sector.So let’s get down with it.
History of Falcon:
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?11123-The-Falcon-Epopee-The-history-of-Falcon-4First check if your system is up to it:
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/content.php?132Some basic FAQ:
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/content.php?131While you start downloading it might be a good point to start reading about it… yeap lot’s of pages which you will find later on on your BMS setup folder in the DOC’s subfolder:
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?78-DocumentationOh if you find something wrong in the documents, please verify it first with a solid source, or if you find a typo please post it here (community, we help each other):
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?35681-BMS-4-34-Documents-correction-reportHow to get Falcon BMS and install it:
You need the original Falcon 4.0 Installed on your pc. Then you download and install Falcon BMS which is a separate installation. Falcon 4.0 is needed just cause a valid licensed Falcon 4.0 must be present in order to install BMS. You don’t need Falcon 4.0 other than the BMS installation.

the following guide is from 4.33 and it’s updates and the same principal is for 4.34
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?31312-Starting-with-Falcon-4-BMS-4-33-Update-3
Here you can find links to download BMS latest version:
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?47-AnnouncementsYes the UI is 1024x768… so live with it. We all do you can too.
You can have it full screen which is ok or windowed mode which is not ok on large resolution. U choose.
Read the manual how to operate and adjust the windowed mode.U can have an alternative Launcher:

https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?5292-Weapon-Delivery-Planner-releasedYou can create your missions within the BMS UI but you can use Mission Commander (MC) which is for the advanced user that knows his way around:
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?10005-Mission-Commander-beta-releaseIf you prefer there is a nice suite of apps for Falcon BMS here:
http://www.weapondeliveryplanner.nl/Real Weather Data: Oh yes we enjoy them… and besides BMS options and tool, here is a fine tool:
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?29203-F4Wx-Real-Weather-ConverterNow how do you learn the THING… well easy. You must devote a considerable amount of time.
Read the manuals, practice the training missions, watch some wonderful training videos in youtube. Watch out those videos cause each user has his own practice and procedures. The manuals are the point of reference here and they cover almost every aspect for the newcomer, we are proud of them so read them first or you’ll get many RTFM’s by asking around everything in the forums.
You can find some videos here along with many valuable info for BMS, Just scroll down to the In game tactics - tricks - videos section or search for videos or tutorials.THEATERS: Oh yes those are free too and plenty to choose from.
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?32-Theater-DiscussionNow that you broke the ice and maybe managed your first landing and maybe your first mission or campaign well it’s time to get serious and join a virtual squadron to get you to the next level, discover and enjoy the essence of Falcon BMS.
Here is the full list of virtual squadrons:
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?32205-List-of-Virtual-Fighter-Wings-and-SquadronsYou will be greatly rewarded. The experience is phenomenal and unparallel. The level of knowledge and expertise you will experience and gain is one of a kind. Though the Falcon AI are ok there is nothing compared to the war’s and battle’s that take place in the virtual skies of Falcon by joining large packages or participating in online PvP dynamic campaigns.
Most Virtual Squadrons have years of knowledge and are very serious. They have structured training programs for you to gain your wings. They are more than willing to help and support active newbs and members. And most of all the climate and relationship between them is what builds up friendships.Now let’s remind you that all the above are totally Free. You don’t have to pay anything for those, and we just scratched the surface of it. Needles to say as easy its for you to get them and install them and enjoy them, it’s way hard and time consuming to build all this. Some take years.
If you find something wrong or a bug please try to reproduce it and be on a vanilla setup.
Post your bugs here:
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?30-Technical-SupportBased on this:
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?35644-How-to-make-a-bug-reportSo please be respectful and grateful cause many community members contributed so that everyone can enjoy their hard work and free time effort from the smallest to the biggest innovation that came to Falcon BMS world.
Once you spot something that is missing or is inaccurate or could be better, first validate and confirm from a valid source. In most cases we end up to real pilots or official documents and then we report things to the forum.We don’t discuss about new features or new release and their time schedule.
The dev team has a free selection from their to-do list and they go along as they see fit and what pleases them to work on. We already know the release dates and they are on a rigid time period. This period is “3-4 weeks”. Which means it will be released when it’s ready and that’s when the dev team will be ok and tested it and it’s ok with them to be released publicly. So don’t waste your time asking about those. Your answer is the same “3-4 weeks” always. You can always make suggestions for new things, but please don’t go like this should be in already and it’s a joke that it isn’t. Your thread will be locked and you will get the answer of: “ Oh since you know all and you can do all come join the effort and you do it and provide it for free to the community”. So please don’t play it a wise guy.The typical questions like how accurate BMS is or how real it is, or if it’s better then others etc. well it’s all answered many many many times here in the forum and previous forums over the decades of Falcon and Falcon BMS life and we are bored with it to tell you the truth. The history of it, the fact that real fighter squadrons use it and real fighter pilots are shocked by using Falcon BMS speaks for it and makes the team and the community super proud about it and it’s the fuel to keep pushing to make it even better in the future. Yes it has and real fighter pilots that contribute and are active developer members. No one knows them (for obvious reasons) but they are there. Could it be better? Well please read ahead…
Many aspects are not proven and you will never get a proof. BMS manages to get the data needed and be close to the real thing as much as possible. We trust those guys for decades and they have proven their intentions and expertise. If you want to question them also think twice. Someone already did before you, so don’t just be another comet. We still give them (Developer’s) hell but not just cause but on specific aspects and with valid verified information. Their free time is valuable and we respect that. We don’t want to waste their time cause we heard something from a friend whose friend has a friend which is a pilot and something is wrong in BMS. Or this sim has this and not that or the other… The team has a long list and things to implement and the future and new features are very exciting. We experience that in every BMS release major or update. We wish you will also be part of it and help in the process of making BMS even better with constructive criticism.
So since we got there… start considering your participation to the community. It’s our ethical duty not only to receive free and enjoy but to provide back to the community so that Falcon BMS will go to the next level and kind of pay for our vast enjoyment by using this extensive platform. Yes you can enjoy it for free for as long as you like. No one is going to force you about it, but please on the back of your head once in a while think what it took for all this to be build up and how and the endless time that it took.
All you have to do is find the way and what would you like to help with and start a thread in the forum asking around. No need to be an expert to a field, you will become if not as most of us did. The whole community will help out. Be prepared, the Falcon “monster”, as we call it, is not an easy task to develop. It needs stamina and dedication. Are you up to it?Bellow is the classic HotList

RE: AV8B... oh dear.
Well big thanks except the whole team - coders - DB - Doc’s - Beta’s guys goes to @qawa and his wonderful job on several cockpits.
You can’t imagine the time and effort needed to create a functional 3D pit from zero and not having the actual thing available for reference.- Research
- 3D-Modeling
- Texturing
- Functionalities
- Animations
Each of them is a whole project on it’s own…
And iirc harrier must enjoy the wonderful code and data by Mav-JP and Topolo for Vertical take off’s and in general Thrust vectoring… -
Mission Commander Manual WIP
As I said I started a manual for Mission Commander.
The progress is a bit slow and for sure I will need the Help of all the people here.
The main goal is to cover all application options and selections in a way what you see and what it does from A to Z.
The second goal will be to go deeper in to things and explain maybe objective things out like how do I alter or create from zero a mission.First draft can be seen in this link:
I don’t know if I will be able to maintain it there for ever as it is the e-HAF ftp and I used it just to give u guys a short look and correct me or point me to the correct direction.
Please bare with me as I haven’t set any rules on terminology, and what you see are described from the user point of view as I don’t have the developer point of view.Any comment criticism is welcomed but please try to be constructive and contribute to it’s writing.
The tool used is DR.Explain and it can produce HTLM - HTML5 / PDF / CHM files. Also keys can be used and the project can be integrated - implemented to the application as those keys will provide direct link to the written info and sections.
The html version is responsive (for now). For those that don’t know what responsive is open the link on your smartphone and your pc at the same time.I don’t have any Indexes yet and Search doesn’t work for now.
That’s all for now.

RE: Falcon BMS Open Source
well that suggestion is a bit out of topic on it’s birth. Besides what Mirv said the current state is a transition state. So don’t forget that.
BMS just entered the DX11 era and for sure it hasn’t shown or taken advantage of the potential that DX11 has to offer to the platform.
Already many things are kinda announced so the posts for gfx and disadvantages fall in to this and the fact that there is no actual competition and we don’t care what DCS does. Paid vs non paid here… different “all”, just the same game category.
In the past I was also full in on open source… that was times of trouble…and open source sounded to me as the only case for Falcon continuation…
Now with the years that passed and Falcon proving that it will never die and seeing things from a new perspective you just can’t imagine how open falcon is.
Not in the meaning of open source exposed code and contribution but in the sense that if you truly are knowledgeable and dedicated to it the doors are already screaming at you to join in and start doing things.
Exposing everything out in the open will only bring more trouble… the team has it’s pace and you just can’t imagine the continues effort done to reduce issues and structure things up for the future. If it goes full open then this will be in danger and could cause greater issues than solve. Believe me the monster is always there waiting for the next fighter…
So you don’t really want it to go out in the wild… better think how you could get in and fight it… make it better.
Are you up to it?
We always want to make it even better and everyone is invited… -
RE: [BMS Roadmap 4.37 U3] News from the BMS Team

Oh you can also join the club for the fire and explosions…We all want as you to make things even better… so we encourage everyone to contribute as this sim is build up from contribution only the latest xx years.
hope to see u soon on the other side…

RE: The appetite for an F117?
guys with the new bml format and pbr things are not like the old days where after decades things were mature enough to say in numbers the tris limitations per model category.
The general rule is to use the minimum u can. Don’t just add tris for the fun of it or because you want crazy details like you will see an antenna from 5cm away.
So keep it sane.
Now guys that don’t actually know or are newbs or need a guideline then use the old one and when you reach it start to be very conservative when you pass it in order not to skyrocket it.
For guys that want to get crazy in details I would suggest to use the High to Low poly workflow.
U use the low poly for the Falcon gfx engine and the High poly to bake the basic mesh maps when you start to PBR the Low poly model.
This way you can give super details to your model BUT it has logical limitations… for example with this workflow you can’t make it look like there is an antenna that sticks out of the fuselage for 20cm. -
RE: A golden era ahead for BMS
@RalphROV no point to do so now for 4.38.
wait for it. since things will change and get optimized till then, wait for it for a fresh hw suggestion and probably prices…
