RE: So Proud
Real life stuff is what happened, lol. Met a beautiful woman, started a new company (integratedarc.com), and have been passionately following both of those dreams! How you been?

So Proud
Well, after being gone something like 1 1/2 to 2 years, I come to find out that BMS has become unequivocally beyond reproach in terms of its relationship with the publishers, developers, community, and particularly, lawyers.
Iām SO PROUD of our guys, what theyāve accomplished over the years, and the absolute passion they have for the sim.
There are literally too many names to mention, but in particular, Jammer and Boxer (and Mrivers just cuz. :)) ventured on a journey something like 10 years ago (heck Iām too damned old to remember). These guys represent a very tight group of people that have bled, begged, pleaded for the continuity of Falcon, and much is owed to them. Although I know they would want no accolades for their achievements, Iām sure there is a simple pleasure to know this sim is still alive and well loved. If you knew what I knew, youād know how hard they worked, how much patience they had, and how calm they remained over numerous and contentious issues over the years. And yet, they persevered.
Iām humbled and truly honored to have been a tiny tiny part of that type of community.
Next beer I drink will be for the BMS Devs! You guys rock!

RE: F.L.A.R.E. Revived
This is an awesome project. I especially love the fact that this will be a mod given freely to the community, as mentioned in the very first post. Assuming it remains like that, this mod, and others like it will get as much support from BMS members as can be given. Thanks again, this exemplifies the spirit BMS has been trying to create within the community!

RE: Hot List
This is a new thread to keep it clean as requested for it to become sticky.
Sticky made. Thanks for doing my work for me.

RE: 3D Cities for Falconā¦
Guys ,
If you really want this project to leave some mark on Falcon, IMHO the best chance is to try to work with what already existing. There are multitude LOD models of cities, towns , settlements , industrial objects already in Falcon. Why not improve them by growing them larger?
You can double, triple all the way to n-uple by copy@ paste, and then transpose: move & rotate virtually any element of the existing database. You can ADD new elements, new buildings and industrial or military complexes, new super airbases. This can be really well coordinated with background tiles to give more robust look in 3D.There is virtually unlimited number of possibilities already within our reach without kind of inventing the wheel, which is fine for the purpose of the posting, but not really for practical follow up and implementation in the 3D engine.
What is perhaps needed is little more user friendly interface of LOD Editor and some serious individual commitment. Yesā¦ little learning and unfortunately lots of time. Just my 2cā¦
EDIT:maybe it cant be done, maybe not. LODEditor is crashing a lot
I couldnāt agree more. Hereās the thing that chaps my hideā¦ if you tell people to stop dreaming and get to work, they tell you that youāre being negative. Well, this is a classic case. The ability to add buildings are already in Falcon. So why hasnāt more work been done on that front? Two reasons: 1) With the current engine it will kill FPS and by default, immersion. 2) Itās HARD and takes TIME. I propose the people spending literally hundreds of hours posting on these forums should instead spend some of that time actually doing some of the things they propose others do. The excuse of āI donāt know howā is irrelevant, since these same folks also want to come across as the experts of these subjects. Really, itās time for a reality check and give some respect to the theater creators who DO spend the time and energy doing it as quickly and efficiently as can be done.
Sorry for the rant, but this is getting old.

RE: BMS F18 A and C upgrade - community involvement
@Smokin:
How about a cockpit video of this thing trapping on the new boat. Cāmon! Throw another bone.
In order to do that, heād have to land the trap.
