RE: F/A-18 Improvements/Modifications
I am an user of the EF-18M, the modified version of the F-18A in service with Spanish Air Force. For several versions of Falcon BMS we have detected in my virtual squadron (www.edavirtual.org) several failures that we have been in charge of correcting. We want to put our work at the service of the entire BMS community, so we would like to share the list of errors we have found and how to fix each one, so that the BMS developer team and theater creators can fix what is necessary.

- The TGP in stations 4 and 5 is not correctly positioned, so a continuous masking was created as if the pod was inside the fuselage. To fix this you have to edit the BMS database ( KoreaObj.LOD in ) by changing the EF-18M PARENT.dat file (1091) with the following text overriding the above:
Dimensions = 37.000000 -16.000000 26.000000 -8.600000 8.600000 -3.000000 3.000000

- The textures of the EF-18M are also wrong, the fuselage numbers are not located correctly, so one of our colleagues ( @Fresco ) has made some HD textures more similar to real life of the 3 Spanish fighter wings of EF- 18M with the previous failure already solved. You can find the new HD textures here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1fI2GW019Kk8e_vrEsRjWg3H8nxlf6QeW?usp=share_link
-
- HMS doesn’t work in EF-18M but in RL the EF-18M of Spanish Air Force has the Helmet Mounted Coueing System-HMCS “Scorpion”. This is easy to fix editing the Falcon4_VCD.xml file. To do this, you should to open the Editor, find the EF-18M in Vehicles/Aircraft ( Index 352) and open it, click “has HMS” and click the Save buttom.
-
- Cockpit doesn’t have many of the switches working, the fonts of the UFC doesn’t look right and the kneeboard in the legs of the pilot doesn’t work. I have edited the files 3dButtons.dat and 3dCkpit.dat that are located in …\Data\Art\CkptArt\EF-18M . You can find the new files here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1PTBf9UfWOeNUDndukfa41HWH62T2vC2l?usp=share_link

- Auto Throttle Control (ATC) doesn’t work . I have edited the file EF-18M SPAF.dat which is located in …\Data\Sim\Acdata . You can find the new file here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1T-rLbhdPSTDmrOqEwZwZ2lLaj04KBopY?usp=share_link
These are all the changes. From EdAv, we wish that BMS dev team and others theater makers follow the steps that I have commented in this message in order to fix the EF-18M and they include them in their theaters and next updates.
Thank you in advance.

RE: BMS Other Fighters Mafia (BMSOFM) Journal
@drtbkj I have been checking the stock BMS EF-18M SPAF.dat and I have seen that @TOPOLO revised it this year. I think that it is very realistic but I don´t know the reason why the hasATC is 0 instead of being 1. In my opinion, only changing that could be enough to have a realistic FM.

Hello everyone,
I am very happy to share this :
I am very happy to have completed Ukraine livery !
It was very difficult, but the result is quite good.
Because I like it, I made some pictures with AGM-88.
More to come !

@Scorpion82 Ahh copy that regarding the canopy. These are my numbers:
In your case, 2 should to be 9536 and 3 9535. I had the same mistake.

RE: Download MiG 29 Skin Pack
@Bloodhound161 said in Download MiG 29 Skin Pack:
Here we go:
You have now 5 different skins for the MiG 29:
MiG 29A DPRK
MiG 29A Soviet AF
MiG 29G German Air Force
MiG 29K Naval Forces Russia
MiG 29C Ukrainian Air Force “Ghost of Kyiv”
Just copy and paste the .dds files to your C:\Falcon BMS 4.37\Data\TerrData\Objects\KoreaObj_HiRes folder.
and replace the existing ones.
But heads up: you only can use one MiG 29A skin (DPRK or Soviet).
Saving the Objects folder is recommended.
Hope you like the paintings!

really good job!! Would it be possible for you to make the textures of the NATO countries that have MiG-29 in service? (Poland, Slovakia and Bulgaria).

RE: Cockpit buttons Missing AV-8B
@Hellpluss said in Cockpit buttons Missing AV-8B:
new to falcon bms as interested in flying the Harrier.
Im using the latest version 4.37 updated and found when in the cockpit of the harrier/Av-8b there are some cockpit controls missing.
Parking break switch, Jfs Switch, ext light POS switch, landing light switch and the int light consol switch.when i hover over them they do work but cant tell from the cockpit if they are on or off. Is this a bug or have i missed something.
I suppose it will be the same problem that happened with the EF-18M, I think that after the move from 4.35 to 4.36 new assignments were created and some cockpits were not updated. I was in charge at the time of fixing the cockpit of the Spanish Hornet. I’ll take a look at the Harrier cockpit files as soon as I can to confirm if it’s the same case.

RE: Eurofighter cockpit
@Scorpion82 said in Eurofighter cockpit:
I have created an updated Eurofighter Cockpit and Flight Model package with LOD and BML models and updated instructions for use with BMS 4.37.3.
https://www.file-upload.net/download-15222361/EFCPv1.1.zip.html
You have done a great job, I hope dev team integrated it in future updates and also add Spanish and Italian eurofighters to DB.

RE: Ukrainian Air Force F16 Skin Pack
@TheChemistAstro good job! It would be great if you also repaint the SU-24, SU-25, MiG-29 and Su-27P/UB with the Ukraine textures

RE: 3D models by Luke777 (Kaos)
@pgk007 I join the request. Both models are in service with a large number of air forces throughout the world and can be used in a wide variety of missions, including as tankers.

RE: BMS Other Fighters Mafia (BMSOFM) Journal
Hi, Dardo,
I’m going to try this trick. Sounds interestingMasked TGP was also a failure of BMS 4.34. It was fixed with an update repositioning the coordinates of the TGP.
Another problem of the EF-18 is that it doesn’t have HMS in BMS 4.35 now. In RL, spanish EF-18s have the Scorpion Helmet as HMS as you can check in this video.Enviado desde mi Redmi Note 9 Pro mediante Tapatalk

@Wheelchock is it possible to use the F-18’s helios profile on a “non touch” screen with the mouse?

RE: Santa's wishlist for BMS
It would be great to have HMS in EF-18M, and also CATM in more aircrafts, not only in F-16.

Hey, yes Great work indeed.
But, just out of curiosity …
Are you at least, like 99% positive, that UKR Su-27 is carrying Harm’s ?
So far I was only able to see Mig-29’s … and I’m 100% positive about that…
But Su-27 … no info, I’m afraid…
So, what’s the verdict?https://twitter.com/Fighterman_FFRC/status/1568192414258438145?t=cbfkLG5XDUlLvg4n_HCZ4Q&s=19
