I think I’ve mentioned this before (a LOOONG time ago, in regards to a previous update), but I’m really hoping for a hands-off campaign weather system. Just some simple one-click “dynamic weather” check box that takes care of it all for the user. Whether that is downloading the real weather maps or just making up random weather.
Dealing with all the fiddly weather stuff is a pain, and it’d be a nice change to not have to deal with downloading the maps and getting it all configured.
Hello! With prior versions of BMS, I was always able to force settings (AA, SS, Vsync, etc.) from Nvidia Inspector. However, after messing with BMS 4.34 for a bit, none of these settings seem to have any impact at all. Confirmed that Inspector is pointing to the correct executable.
Is this a known issue? And if so, any way to get around it? I find that using the in-game settings doesn’t provide the visual quality I’m looking for.
Thanks!
It’d be really nice to get something along the lines of F4Wx integrated into the game and made completely hands-off for the end user. When starting a campaign, imagine just checking “real world weather” and then forgetting about it. Or having a dynamic weather system run by the campaign… this way, it could generate weather out in advance and give you forecasts (with a little randomness thrown in so the forecasts aren’t perfect) alongside the current weather. Either way, the point is to have as few external programs (ideally none) to run alongside the base game.
I’m really curious why the default color was changed to yellow. The photos I’ve found online all show white or green.
Looking good! Did the campaign updates include changes to the ATO? Less suicidal missions?
Question is … would you be able to follow enough precisely ATC instructions to not put the mess in the queue and not be kicked from it … ?
How many Vpilots here always flies a heading +/2° altitude +/-100ft and speed +/-10kts … ?
ATC is not perfect in 4.33 … but is it mainly because of AI and ATC brain, or because of human Vpilot’s skills?
I don’t know about other people, but I definitely stay within those limits quite easily… so to answer your question… it’s the ATC, at least for me. 
Personally, I find it really frustrating when I follow the terrible ATC vectors perfectly, then get asked to go around anyway because it messed up - frequently because it clears someone for takeoff at the same time it’s putting me on final.
It’d be really nice if it’d give a few vectors to just get you downwind, base, final without all the left, right, left, right nonsense. Or a single vector to intercept the final approach course if you’re approaching downwind from the runway. Even if you’re right on speed, it’ll often give really excessive speed changes - like asking you accelerate from 230 to 300!
It would also be cool if it would specify a visual or ILS - probably based on whether the base is in VMC or IMC conditions.
After dealing with their shenanigans the last few missions, I’ll add a vote for better ATC as well. Mainly with two issues; the first is the constant, large speed changes while being vectored. The second is its inability to properly sequence aircraft which ends up in lots of go arounds, especially for the player.
Is there a way to pre-plan a specific target for each AI ship in a flight? On an OCA strike, for example, I normally arrive at the IP, and start designating various bits of the airfield and giving “attack my target” commands. It’d be very nice if, before the flight, I could just assign each ship a target or targets and not have to worry about them. Just drop my bombs on my target and trust the AI to hit theirs. Is this possible?
One thing I’d still really like to see would be a much more hands-off campaign (with the ability to micro-manage left in for those who want it). As someone with no interest in managing the campaign, it’d be great if I could just let the AI run the war, trusting it not to generate stupid suicide missions and throw away my airplanes. It would also be nice if the default flight plans were optimized a little better, especially vertically. Right now they have a lot of up and down silliness.
It would be amazing to me if I could just jump into the campaign, be given a mission that has reasonable goals and a decent chance of success, and fly it. For those of you familiar with it, think of the dynamic campaign system in IL-2. It gives you a mission, you fly it, come back, and it gives you another. You just play the part of fighter pilot and that’s it.
Wait, am I missing something? Do we not like 1C?
