RE: Raygun/Buddy Spike.
I’ve solved this one. “Handoff” in the RWR must be selected in order to hear the tone indicating that you’re being painted.
The AI responds with Buddy Spike because he has “Handoff” selected because he’s clever, like a computer

RE: Boresight and Cycling from A/G to A/A
@tdr As per the manual 4.37.3 page 177….after boresighting, follow the SOP……TMS down….Wide FOV…….CZ (cursor zero). All cursor slews are cancelled and you’re ready to go.

RE: New Computer
@airtex2019 @Atlas @foxster @Icer
Thank you all for your help, I’ll study your recommendations and jump in with fingers crossed
Before I do, I have to install my Virpil HOTAS and then all the other bits and pieces a BMS pilot uses.
Thanks again,
Bayonet.

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.Bayonet.

In the AWACS “Q” menu there are options to Check in and out.
Do these calls have any effect?
Thanks,

"Override World Scale" Pico 4
Hello Forum.
I’m finding my way around the settings in my Pico 4.
I cannot alter the setting in “Override World Scale”.
I select “Per Application Video Settings” in the Video section of settings in Steam 2.3.5, Falcon BMS is shown but I can not change the entry from OFF to NORMAL and so can not alter the setting.
What am I missing please.
Thanks,
Bayonet.

RE: Key binds dropping.
I understand now, eventually
I hadn’t spotted the AB and Idle tabs in the throttle axis section. Not seeing the wood for the trees, I suppose.
Thanks for your perseverance.
Appreciated,

RE: Key binds dropping.
@Quasi_Stellar I see in FCTRL in the Launcher, there is a selection of options for “Throttle Idle” and various Afterburner settings.
How are they set in the launcher?
On my Virpil throttle there are physical detents which I feel when the throttle levers pass over them. In the old Set Up (which I promise never to use again ) I could set the Idle and Afterburner there with a mouse click.
There’s no AB/Idle buttons on my throttle to map.
@Atlas @drtbkj Thanks again, “Setting up new PC’s is soooo much fun” Eh, no. Never again!

@airtex2019 @Carbide @drtbkj @jayb
Sorry for the delayed reply, real life interruption…
Thanks for all your help, I played around with the axes on my VIRPIL HOTAS as per your advice and the rudder is now performing normally. The AB and Idle “ticks” in Setup are still not holding.
However, having endured the trauma of transferring everything (TrackIr, Voice Attack, WPD and Tacview etc.) to a new computer, I’ll live with that for now.Thanks again,
Bayonet.

RE: Key binds dropping.
@drtbkj Hi,
The YAW axis in the Launcher shows Rudder Joy 0:2 and the blue bar moves as expected. The Rudder bar in the old Setup is blank and the rudder on the jet does not move.
The Throttle in the Launcher shows Throttle Joy 1:RY. Now, the throttle in the pit functions fine in as much as I can accelerate and decelerate , but the After Burner and Idle Detent “ticks” in the old Setup, are gone.
I see in the Launcher…FCTRL: Throttle Idle and Min. Afterburner, but there are no keys to map and I don’t know how to s
et those detents in the launcher. As they say these days “my Bad”.Thanks for your help,
Bayonet.

Key binds dropping.
Hello Forum.
I’ve recently changed to a new computer and have mapped axes and buttons.
However, the mapping for (1) the throttle settings for After Burner and Idle Detent and (2) the rudder, are lost when I close the sim. I have to add them each time I fly.
Other than my Logbook I didn’t copy across anything from the Config on the old computer.
Also, in case it’s relevant, I had 4.37.2 on the old computer but have now updated to 4.37.3
Thanks,
Bayonet.

Pleso (LDZA) Zagreb, Croatia.
Hello Forum.
Albeit that there is a new Pleso Airport Diagram updated Jan 24th 2022, the previous frequencies from 4.36 remain in operation.
No doubt that will be amended with the next fix.

RE: Boresight and Cycling from A/G to A/A
@sungad Yep, that’s the best method. Planning a steer point on a convenient cluster of buildings avoids having to waste time searching with the FCR which then nearly always entails a course change to line up.
As shown by @Fish44 in his video, as I reference above, on approaching that steer point, using VIZ to quickly bring a building into the TGP is very efficient.
