Re: F-16 Over the Shoulder Cockpit View

You know how I knew this wasn’t BMS 4.36 in game footage…no rotating clouds! LOL

Seriously, really great video.

I thought once the Bingo warning went off that he would RTB but he kept flying for about another 15mins or so! The “E” light must have come on by then!

And where did you find it, asking for a “friend”

@Malc:

You cannot install 4.34.0 without the installer, and you cannot install any incremental updates with it either. You must have downloaded and created it at least once, so chances are you’ve deleted it afterwards perhaps to save space or simply forgot where you created it initially.

To install the update, you will need to recreate the install from the 4.34.0 download.

I ran the 4.34 installer again and it created the setup folder. I then ran the incremental update and pointed it to the setup folder but the actual install process seems to always stop working, at least according to Task Manager.

Any tips on what may be causing the installer to “hang”?

Thanks

I don’t seem to have a Falcon setup folder. I believe the full installer didn’t use one? I could be wrong, so how would I go about installing the incremental update?

There have been some missions I’ve flown that I have looked back on upon landing and feel like “wow, this must be what it’s like to be a real fighter pilot”. Of course, I am simplifying things here a bit and by now means do I kid myself into thinking that I could actually do what the brave men and women do IRL.

It does give one a greater appreciation for the very dangerous environments that pilots have to operate in. We are lucky that we can simply eject or end the mission if it’s not going how we want it.

I have felt a great sense of happiness when doing a mission “by the books” and it all works out in the end. I think it gives a greater incite into how it’s actually done and how much more is required to fly a mission even before walking out to the jet.

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery they say, so I guess the community here flatter the real pilots to a great level.

Hi all

I was just thinking the other day that playing, err I mean Flying! a successful BMS TE or Campaign mission gives me a sense of accomplishment, satisfaction for a job well done and confidence.

I am a rather shy and introverted person by nature, even my imaginary friends would sometimes not play with me!

I find that flying BMS all these years, has over time, given me a greater belief in myself and has helped boost my confidence level. I know that it is “just” a sim, but there’s something to be said when you successfully start the jet, fly to your IP, destroy your target(s) and return home that makes you feel like you can handle anything IRL.

Of course, the online component and community also contributes to that feeling of betterment and belief in ones’ self.

Just thought I would share my thoughts and ask the community if flying BMS has had side benefits in your own lives?

Cheers!

I can’t seem to find any info/docs on how the RWR system, specifically how to turn it on/off, operates in the F16AM model.

Thanks!

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t see an .exe in the file download?

Thanks

Hi all

My TrackIR is out of service for the moment, and I’d like to able to use the Saitek X-55 ministick to control the internal views.

Thanks!

@LorikEolmin:

I bet you are trying to strike a DPRK target in Double Dragon.

Yes, that’s what the issue is. Thanks!
