4.38 Screenshots
Let’s make a thread and save all. 38 shots we’ve seen so far! Nice to have them all in one place.

Pics of your flight setup / home cockpit
I couldn’t find a thread for this and it’s always fun seeing what other people use to fly BMS with so I’ll go first.
Here’s my little corner in the basement.

I just turned 40!
How about a juicy screenshot from upcoming. 38?
Please don’t blame me for trying ️ -

Another thank you for 4.36!
Been flying 4.36 now for almost two weeks, trying to get a few missions done in the campaign (Balkans) each night. Today I flew a dead profile and attacked an air defence batallion of SA5 and SA6. Managed to keep my TOT and TOS perfect and joined up with my package.
While my wingman ran out of fuel on the way home and our sead flight bought the farm, I made it in, took out 15 ground targets with my CBU-105s and made it back to tell the story. It was during night and a few enemy flights in the AO.
I managed to score a mig29 on my way out and limped back home to land in Italy. What a great feeling and what a calming voice to hear welcome back from the fantastic ATC!I wrapped my evening up by dogfighting the MIG29S on Ace and landed a 3-0 score. That AI is the best I ever fought in a sim and I have no complaints what so ever. It’s fantastic!
I want to extend my thanks to everyone who was involved in making all of this to work. I can’t think of a finer combat flight sim than this. The complexity, ai and overall polish is top notch!
Many thanks!

RE: Santa's wishlist for BMS
My wish is the release of 4.38 in the not to distant future.
If I could wish again, it would be rad with more widespread use of night lighting like we see around airports. Really like the depth sense of all the light bulbs. That makes me wonder, what is a realistic distance for lights to show up based on our eye sight?

RE: Happy 25th Birthday Falcon 4.0! 1998-2023+
Let’s hope for a very juicy 4.38 video to celebrate what BMS will become.

Lack of ATC response when requesting departure
When requesting a departure from tower and your takeoff time is in the future, no response is given from the tower, if you ask once more, approval is given for departure.
I would like to suggest that the tower replies something related to planned take off time for the flight, just to inform the pilot. What we have today works, just that it’s a bit hard to understand for newcomers. Adding an extra voice line for this would make it more crisp.
Details below:
Background:
Auto-fragged campaign mission on Balkans, take off from Aviano AB (or any theater or air base, we’ve seen it happen many times)I’ve also seen this with manually fragged campaign missions.
Runtime - scenario 1:
This specific mission, I’m starting via “TAXI” I talk to ground controller via UFC CH 2 and get clearance to taxi to runway and hold short.When arriving at the runway threshold, where I hold short, I contact the tower UFC CH 3.
No reply is given if my take off time is in the future. If I ask the same question again, tower comes back and approves our entry on the runway and take off.
Runtime - scenario 2:
Start “Runway”, player spawns in on runway threshold and contacts tower on UFC CH 3 with request for departure.If take off time is in the future, no answer is given, if player asks again for departure, approval is given.
Unknowns:
Is ATC busy with other flights?
Assumption is that tower waits to clear you to the runway before getting close to the take off time.If you want more data, please let me know. I can run a few missions additionally to test it.
Additional info:
How close to the hold short line should I be when talking to tower? I’m close to it, but not on it. - relates to @skippermike comment.
Post made by @Amadeus75 is what I’m trying to explain.

RE: Falcon & the New Meta Quest 3
My only real concern I have is the communications with ATC and AI flights. I use VoiceAttack which usually works great but sometimes it glitches out and I have to use the minikeyboard below my ICP
Finding the right button sometimes is not that easy

RE: Time for a new headset -- what to choose?
I’m very happy with Quest 3. Great lenses and resolution, mature product and software. Goos price for what you get.

@spotdott
Lol to be honest, I can live without VR but I love the immersion levels it adds. I think it’s time for BMS to get that new graphics engine in place and add on VR. If the new engine supports it, I would be thrilled to use it! -
RE: Santa's wishlist for BMS
Talking about AWACS, I’d like for them to keep me updated with relevant changes and addition to the pictures instead of me just requesting info. Like check in and that gives you rolling up dates. Checkout takes you back to request based flow.
