I know it is possible, but without an SDK or published guides it is hard to say what exactly is possible.
You dont need an SDK to make 3D models, and there are published guides on this very forum!
Or, well. There were. I guess Im not sure if they survived the great Purge.
weapon effects is probably one of the lesser developed parts of BMS. Should be able to pull up hitpoints and damage data with the BMS editor.
mono does not, but you can use winetricks to install native SAPI5. I’ve been working with that to try get a System.Speech method working (in vatSys, an air traffic control client for Vatsim).
As regards the keypress stuff, I’m not entirely sure sorry.
Hoover,
If you’re up for the beta testing, I’ll add you to the distribution and send you a download link. Currently requires 64 bit windows with .net 4.7 or higher installed.
I mean, Im currently running software which requires 64 bit and .net 4.7.2 or higher… on linux. So it might not be so hard and fast as you might assume.
What licence is this under? If no choice has been made yet, may I suggest GPLv3?
No idea if this is true, but my logic says that empty fuel tank can be reused. Either at AAR during flight (can you refuel your fuel tanks midair???) or back at home base. It’s a piece of equipment that you don’t need to replace with new one.
Yes, it is possible to refuel the fuel tanks midair, provided they are depressurised.
Why would that matter? You’re saying “keep the fuel tanks, the airplane will go that fast with them.” Doesn’t matter, more drag, more fuel burn, less fuel margin.
Those last three lines are the key bit - in general, the fuel gained by keeping the tanks tends to outweigh the potential fuel savings by ditching the tanks.
Exceptions obviously exist, Operation Opera for example.
Spooky, distinguishing between the “concept” and the “idea” is not meaningful in English - perhaps this is something that has been lost in translation?

At least in theory, this is what should limit all such discussions on this forum, from a rules perspective.
It lets you fairly quickly appreciate where you need to get the nose, in order to establish lead for accurate snapshots out of plane. If you are in plane with the target, you dont really notice the difference.
Most Air to ground stores are limited to 1.2 mach and 600 knots for the store, which limits your ability to do 1.5 mach 150 foot penetration runs with ground stores. The TERs (when loaded) are limited to 550 knots or 0.95 mach (600 and 1.6 when empty - 700 knots in some configs). After dropping bombs, the remaining suspension gear (if no TER used) is limited to 700 and 1.6, and the tanks suspension gear, to 750 and 1.6.
The fuel tanks on the other hand are 600 and 1.6, so Im not seeing why the fuel tanks are the issue with a high speed low level penetration?
Okay, the funnel doesnt show the projected path of the shells. Thats the misconception.
The Firing Evaluation Display System (FEDS) shows the projected path of shells fired, and is used in level II (no lock). In level III and up, the Bullets At Target Range (BATR) symbol is used instead to show where bullets passed the target.
In level II and III, the funnel works very similarly to with LCOS. It does NOT show where the bullets will travel. In levels II and III, it shows a range of valid solutions for the current normal acceleration (G) in plane, with the wingspan currently selected being used as the gap between the lines of the funnel. In level IV and V, the funnel is in the targets plane of motion (POM) rather than your POM.
Thing is, your target isnt maneuvering, so picking their plane of motion is a bit of a crapshoot.
I guess Id suggest having another look at the EEGS symbology levels explanations, particularly the explanation of how the funnel works? The short version is that the funnel isnt showing you where the bullets will go, its showing you how much lead you need - and once you have a radar lock, it starts showing you the lead in the plane of motion of the target - which is VERY useful for figuring out how much lead you need to pull when you are not in the targets POM, such as for snapshots.
For abnormal situations, one useful thing you can do real world is point out your needs to ATC: Seoul Tower, Falcon 1 requires RWY 01 due heavyweight.
I guess that could be a neat improvement to have for the ATC code at some stage, although Id imagine this would have a little complexity to the arrivals process.
Hop on one of the various discords (Ready Room for example) and see if you can get a flight going - someone will likely be happy to coach you through getting connected, getting started.
Welcome (back) to BMS!
So, a 2.38 mile radius turn would be required to put the wingman 15 miles in trail. The turning circle would be 4.77 miles across. The wingman would fly a circle 15 miles circumference and end up where they started at, while the lead flying at the same speed would also cover 15 miles in the same timeframe. This would give you 15 miles separation.
Neatly enough, speed is totally irrelevant. As long as you are cospeed with the wingmate, it works. Changing speed will change the time taken to establish the maneuver, and the required bank angle and G force, but so long as you keep the radius the same, you will end up with the same amount of separation after one orbit.
Well no. That antenna is used for the UHF and VHF radios as well as the data link. One antenna system, shared by multiple radio systems. I think its to minimise self interference?
but awacs announce the print of other hostile ac in bogey dope. e.g. mig29 or su30 etc
PRINT is an NCTR indication. PRINT FLANKER - means we think its a Phazotron N001 Myech pulse-doppler radar we can see, so its probably a Su-27.
So how is a Ka-50 (with no radar) or a Mi-24 (also with no radar) going to be ‘printed’ by AWACS?
I mean, using power to control rate of descent is not an unusual concept, specific to fighter jets. Adding power in the flare likewise, not uncommon even for GA drivers. If you want to fly the viper in at 8 degrees AoA you could do that, but you will be very fast…
If you are between 11 and 13 degrees AoA you are on speed by the book, and on speed by the bracket, so its a little odd to hear that you think that’s too fast.
Legally you can’t rely on the HUD. It’s not IFR certified (FAA/NAS and I assume ICAO too). That might have changed in the last few years I don’t know.
You cant rely solely on the HUD. As of at least 2014 it is IFR certified as a primary flight instrument in the F-16. You can fly the approach to minima based on the HUD, using the heads down instruments as backup. Obviously below minima you must be heads up, visual with the runway, with sufficient visibility.
The ADI is a primary flight instrument, and can be relied upon for flying instrument approaches. Before the HUD was certified, it was required to be relied upon for flying instrument approaches. The SAI is a backup flight instrument in case the ADI fails.
For landing you have to look out the window. For approach to minimums, yeah ADI is part of the instrument scan. I have done a full instrument landing procedure from IAF to minimums with my head between my knees referencing just the altimeter, ADI, VSI, AOA, and HSI. The first I look up is when the alarm goes off at 600’ radalt. Everyone should try it from time to time. It’s educational.
I think I got more out of flying heads down approaches in BMS than I did out of the rated sim while I was doing my instrument rating. Ditto that its very educational.
More advise - start landing the Viper on-speed, instead of fast - if you use the Bracket in the Viper you are actually landing fast, which also has you at a lower AOA.
What makes you say the bracket is fast? On the bracket is on speed, on AoA. Should be 13 degrees at touchdown, 11 to 13 on approach - middle of the bracket is 13 degrees, on AoA, on speed.
AFAIK, ATIS is always broadcast on it’s own discrete VOX freq
Well, the reason I ponder is that a few of the local navaids in Australia operate that way.
Morse Code identifier for TACAN and ILS
I wonder if any of the Korean air bases broadcast the ATIS on the ILS freq instead of the morse code identifier?
Shouldn`t you guys know that until now never ever any picture or details has come to public before release?
XD
