RE: Tanker question
@alfred said in Tanker question:
thank very much you for the responses. How can we make the element refuel before the wingman, say for example the wingman is half empty but the element is bingo. I was thinking rejoin call to the wingman
If your element and/or wingman are AI, the refuel sequence doesn’t allow the swap among flight ship. When I get other members running on vapor, I use to call the tanker for refuel and, once received the clerance, call again for “done refuel”. This let the #2 to go at precontact position and take fuel. Same for elements if present. Then, I contact the tanker again to take fuel on my own. When refueled, I call “rejoin” to my flight to determine the end of refuel. Don’t forget to call the tanker for “back to pre-contact position”.

Thanks for the recommendation!
At the moment I have these and looking for some F-15A/C books…
Don’t know about A/C version, but “Strike Eagle - Flying the F15E in the Gulf War” (W.L. Smallwood) is a very interesting collection of 335th and 336th FS Strike Eagles pilots experience, during the deployement in the Perisan Gulf.

RE: The F16 blocks
@DennyITA said in The F16 blocks:
Thanks but regarding the models, avionics, ordnance, missiles, etc., I considered the dash34 table (page 592). I would like to know the substantial difference of the engines of the blocks, F100PW200, F100PW220, F100PW229, F110GE100 and F110GE129.
To better understand we must consider the mass-production series in the US inventory; basically after block 25 the US DoD decided to endorse the two big homeland engine manufacturers: General Electric and Pratt & Withney, using both engines for the block 30’s. To recognize the versions, they started to use different block nr; -30 equipped with GE engine, -32 with P&W. And this suffix going on up to block 50/52 (included plus versions); block 60’s, 70’s and V’s are made for export only so far, and fit the GE engine only. The differences between GE and P&W, and different versions are so many and articulated that could result tediously to explain here. Useless to say that it’s easy to find the history of various versions online.
For what regarding BMS, I strongly suggest to read the HFFM Manual that you can find in Docs folder. It’s an exhaustive book that explain the difference between engines and how they has been modelled onto the simulator. -
RE: ATTENTION: action needed for U3 update
@seifer
Never experienced this issue in KTO (Kunsan AB is my home base), but I wanna thank you and BMS team for your effort.

RE: Return to Pre Contact Position.
@Mav-jp
Copy. I’ve drove F16’s only for my entire “career”, so I admit the lack of experience on basket system. -
RE: Return to Pre Contact Position.
@Bayonet
Never tried, but I guess “Return to Pre Contact Position” could’ve been introduced to help the flight leader to manage the AAR. I mean, if your are the leader of a ship, and are going to approach the tanker, there could be the case that your wingman is on vapour and need to get fuel before you. In that case, after the call in, the tanker is waiting for the leader, not for wingmen, thus you have to call (-3 ) “Done Refuel” to call you off and let your wingman to get fuel. After he fill the tank up, you can call “Return to Pre Contact Position” to back in at gas station. I’m not sure about that but I’ll make a try very soon… -
RE: Lesson learned...
@SoBad It’s a very weird behaviour… I mean, if you’re sure you never open the refuel door in flight (ok, long flight but no AAR 'aight ? …), the only moment you may forgot to close it is on the ground, during the check in phase (if you do so…). But either in flight or on the ground, if you go wit refuel door open, you got a FUEL TRP warning flashing in your HUD after some minutes…

RE: Crash to Desktop Falcon BMS 4.37.3 Unplayable issue (LG 29WP60G-B Ultra Wide Monitor + Gigabyte GTX 1650 4GB GDDR6 Graphics Card )
@john1974 Just to say…does 65 °C and 60% Fan limits could be too low ? especially for an OC card

RE: Crash to Desktop Falcon BMS 4.37.3 Unplayable issue (LG 29WP60G-B Ultra Wide Monitor + Gigabyte GTX 1650 4GB GDDR6 Graphics Card )
@john1974 Yet when I load BMS 4.37.3.2, the moment it says… 'please wait until your cockpit is setup’, it goes into a FREEZE and then it CTD’s…
Did you consider to scale down to 4.37U3 ? just to make a move…

@john1974
I’m agree with @Arty ; the PSU is underpowered in any case. The first action I would do is to get a 650W Bronze/Gold PSU, aren’t so expensive and garantee enough power for every use. I’ve recently got a similar issue that drove me nuts. My Asus-NVidia GTX1050Ti suddenly crashed out when called to perfomance (i.e. graphic rendering or BMS when in flight), got me figured out he was gone to graphic cards heven (5 years of service, can make sense…). Purchased a new Asus RX580OC 6GB, and with my surprise the crash-in-to-dark was still present. I’ve even tried to downrate the refresh frequency at minimum available, and noticed that was a 'lil bit better but definitely not solved.
Well, being shorty, a BIOS check revealed a randomly 10,4 V onto the 12V CoolerMaster 650W PSU line (3,3V and 5V seemed ok). Replaced with a new 750W, and back to fly. Needless to say that GTX1050Ti is in perfect shape…
Hope this experience will be useful to solve your problem. -
RE: Availability of JSOW AGM-154C
@Stevie said in Availability of JSOW AGM-154C:
@drtbkj - what pod does the Viper use for Datalink? I know it’s not the AWW-13, which is what the USN uses. But a D/L pod is required to support the C1.
I should think it would be the same pods used for SLAM E/R…if the Viper can support SLAM E/R.
F16’s can’t carry the -C1 variant of AGM154, that is currently developed for F/A-18E/F, F-35A/C
