    • RE: Santa's wishlist for BMS

      Boresighting Mavs on the ground before take off, which apparently is done in RL (?)

      Wow, thanks Max and the Dev team. I can’t wait, but I will and am more than happy to do so. You haven’t disappointed yet.

    • RE: Viperdrivers interactive map not available

      That’s very regrettable news.
      Red Dog’s contribution to BMS has been enormous.
      Apart from the Map, which is of huge value, his training and other manuals are a tremendous resource.
      I hate to think that these and his contribution to the forum will be lost to us.

    • AWACS Check in/out.

      Hello Forum.

      In the AWACS “Q” menu there are options to Check in and out.

      Do these calls have any effect?

      Thanks,

      Bayonet.

    • AAR with the CFT F16

      Hello Forum.

      MultiJp51’s video showing him refuelling from the basket with the CFT F16 is magic.

      How do I select that aircraft ?

      Thanks,

      Bayonet.

    • RE: HARM.....Attack my Target.

      @LorikEolmin

      The command is provided because we can’t actually talk to an AI.

      Right, understood.

      Question answered.

      Thanks,

    • RE: AAR from the basket.

      @drtbkj Huge thanks for all your efforts on this one.
      Real life has delayed my KTO experiment until the weekend.
      I’ll send a Sit Rep asap.

      BTW, the tanker I used is the C-130, again for no other reason than I just wanted to look at it.
      The last time I saw a C-130 up close was at 15,000 ft standing on the edge of the ramp prior to stepping off.

      Regards,

      Bayonet.

    • Logbook Score.

      Hello Forum.

      Are logbook points always reduced due to a poor score or an infraction during a mission?

      Are logbook ranks also similarly reduced?

      Thanks,

      Bayonet.

    • RE: 4.36.1 New Feature ? Package feedback com more important ?

      @ericfa2a

      Yes, I’ve heard the “package marshalled” message also.

      As I’m sure you know, when following an escort, a holding point at steer three, for example, is included to enable strike and escort to coordinate their time on target.

      It’s a nice addition to the comms.

      Regards,

      Bayonet.

    • RE: Campaign stop clock

      @mj3437 @GhostDog-0

      Oh, I see. So that’s what the “Campaigns 0/0/0” category in the logbook means.

      And there I was, thinking things were going well, with my forces moving North quite nicely.

      Ah well, back to the drawing board, I’ll never make Major at this rate 😧

      Thank lads,

    • RE: Campaign stop clock

      Hi @mj3437

      I’m in tiger Spirit and the logbook does not register a win, if I’m reading it correctly (?)

      Although, now the game is asking if I want to "Start Campaign.

      I’m confused, what do you think?

    • Campaign stop clock

      Hello Forum.

      I’m playing a campaign in the KTO.
      I stopped the clock while I adjusted loadout etc.
      However, I can not re start it, it remains stuck on “Stop”.

      Any suggestions on how to get it moving?

      Thanks,

      Bayonet.

      @gabrielgcosta

      Yep, BMS User Manual page 9-190.

      There is, however, no reference to how / why points are deducted.

      Thanks,

    • RE: Logbook Score.

      @malpaso
      Yep, I’ve read that.
      I even have the set of hard copy manuals which Red Dog and others produce a number of years ago.
      As you say, a good read.
      I suppose I was just moaning when I lost points.
      All I did was shoot down a friendly F16.
      We all make mistakes 😉

      Thanks,

    • RE: Weapons Delivery Planner / Constant DDS problem.

      Hi @Falcas

      Yes, my reference to 2,049 refers to the kb.

      Previously, I regarded a DDS kb value of less than 2,049 as an indication of corruption.

      As I mention above, I copied and pasted a DDS with a kb value of 2,049 from 4.35 into 4.36 and it worked.

      But, you say the kb has no relevance.

      I have, however, been supplied with a fresh set of DDS files by a friend and the WDP is again active.

      Thanks for your reply,

      Bayonet.

    • Weapons Delivery Planner / Constant DDS problem.

      Hello Forum.

      Unfortunately, I’ve become familiar with DDS files becoming corrupted when trying to import an image into the WDP.

      No doubt, many members have encountered the “Unhandled Exception” message.

      So, I find the faulty DDS in “TerrData Objects KoreaObj” in 4.36, its size will be other than the required 2,049.

      Then I Copy/Paste an uncorrupted version from 4.35 and as if by magic, problem sorted.

      Until now.

      I wanted to import the ground chart for Birgi in the Balkans theatre into the WDP.

      But no! “object reference not set to an instance of an object”

      All DDS files in 4.36 are correctly set at 2,049. So, what now?

      Forgive me for asking, but could there be a coding error in the WDP?

      It’s as if the WDP is learning from AI SAM operators in BMS, constantly changing to evade detection.

      Any Ideas?
