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

@Bayonet

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

@GhostDog-0

I did…I am……but…

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.

@BibleClinger I’ve listened to episode 4 today, keep it going.

Hello Forum,

Are there charts for the Mid East theatre?

if so, where please?

Regards,

Bayonet.

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.

Hello Forum.

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

Do these calls have any effect?

Thanks,

Bayonet.

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.

@LorikEolmin

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

Right, understood.

Question answered.

Thanks,

Bayonet.

@Fish44 Small typo indeed, hopefully it’ll be corrected .

Hello Forum.

Dare I ask, is the text in 11.4 confusing?

In the scenario, is lead tracking his wingman’s target?
Or, is the wingman tracking his lead’s target?

“Your wingman’s laser might not be firing yet, so it might not be visible immediately”

“your TGP will move to the target being lased by your lead”

Thanks,

Bayonet

@Dee-Jay @dumba @Ironman3 @LorikEolmin @molnibalage @Stevie @white_fang

Thank you all, this certainly proves the point that BMS is a “study Sim”.

Bayonet.

@molnibalage

@Dee-Jay

Right, I see. So, in planning a series of steer points when creating a TE, it’s TAS I use for Nav and timing and not the (normally) slower CAS.

Thanks again,

Bayonet.

@LorikEolmin @Dee-Jay

Thank you both.

If I may @Dee-Jay, could you elaborate on using CAS for performance. Do you mean fuel efficiency?

Bayonet.

Hi @white_fang

Thanks for your reply and the warning to keep foot out of mouth

I do understand that TAS and CAS differ.

My query, perhaps unclearly worded, referred to a segment in Micros’s

If you have a moment take a look from time stamp 12:30 where he adjusts various items in steer points.

You’ll see that both TAS and CAS coincide. That’s my question, how do they?

I know that at certain altitudes, perhaps over water, they can be close.

So, is it because the altitude shown is only 100FT (NOE) ??

Have I managed to redeem myself?

Thanks,

Bayonet.

Hello Forum,

In one of Micro’s excellent TE creation videos, when he is checking the details at various steer points, for time/altitude etc I notice that both the TAS and CAS shown are at the same speed.

When I’m making a TE the TAS and CAS speeds are shown as different. The TAS is always faster. It’s confusing.

Is there a way to align them please.

Thanks,

Bayonet.

Thanks @Doc0301 since my post above, I’ve discovered how to power up the RWR etc in this F16 version. The button was tucked away out of sight.

Bayonet.
