Dude, just go back to Hoggit and whine about ED breaking the game with another half ass “patch” and overpriced “early access” dev builds. BMS devs rock. They volunteer their time making a free mod for you to enjoy. We all know they take their work seriously and release when it is ready and not when some entitled brat just wants their new toy right now.

RE: BMS 4.34 screenshots
One unit of the United States ANG i feel close to; TULSA VIPERS from the 125th FS.
I saw them in Tulsa while was on a trip in the US, waiting for my connecting flight to New York. I was in the terminal and then i heard this unmistakable sound of a two ship Tulsa viper taking off.
I get to see them every day in the morning and afternoon because I work at the bus plant right at the end of runway 26. 5 years and it never gets old seeing them takeoff.

RE: Ready to Take off !! :)
Also check out the janhas models and HD runways and taxi in the mods section

RE: Do I need to buy Falcon 4.0 to get F4 BMS?
You can download it off steam or GOG for about $7. Install it. Run the game once and exit.
Download the BMS 4.34, 4.34U1, and 4.34U2 installers in the release section of the forums. Install those. Run the game once then exit.
After that I suggest downloading the alternative launcher to making binding controls far easier. It is found in the joysticks section https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?31774-Falcon-BMS-Alternative-Launcher-(Easy-Setup-Keep-Joystick-Assignments). Bind your controls.
Setup track IR.
Load up the user manual and get ready for a real sim.

RE: Starting from scratch . . . Advice?
If you have it up and running download the alternative launcher found on the forums. It will make control setup much easier.
If you don’t have a cd drive you can download falcon on gog or steam for about $7.
I also highly recommend checking the mod section for janhas f16 models. He is in the process of updating them so it will be a couple weeks before they are ready.
Oh almost forgot, track ir. It is worth every penny. You won’t want to fly without it once you try it. And if you really want to go all out, check out foxx mounts, thrustmaster mfds, and mfg crosswinds.

RE: TE BUILDER
Are you guys having issues with it starting you in the grass? My TE were working fine prior to 4.34U2 but they are now starting me way off in the grass. I also get the problem if I make a new TE and it doesn’t seem to make a difference if I choose ramp, taxi, or runway because it starts me in the same location. I haven’t installed/uninstalled anything other than the U2 update.

RE: Ist Time Installer(Help)
Once you get it installed I recommend the following mods:
Hi res runways and taxiways: https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?19737-Runways-Taxiways-High-Resolution-Textures
Alternative launcher for key bindings: https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?31774-Falcon-BMS-Alternative-Launcher-(Easy-Setup-Keep-Joystick-Assignments)I also recommend the JanHas models but they aren’t working with the 4.34U1 update yet. Check the janhas and the already extracted threads below in a week or so.

RE: LorikEolmin calling LorikEolmin please.
Hello,
I’ve been watching LorikEolmin’s video regarding AGM 65 (Sept 19th '19. 15:56).
One question please….having boresighted both stations 3 and 7…how did you/he get the “C” to appear over the station numbers on the WPN page?
Thank you.
Bayonet.
I haven’t been able to do the hand off with mavs on 4 stations. It only seems to work if you have 2 stations loaded. Don’t know if that might be your issue.

RE: TGP Pod weight makes the aircraft slowly bank to the right
You know what is also crazy. Pylons have drag in this sim.

RE: Tankers and AAR behaviour
The good news is everyone will be pro at keeping contact in the turn once they fix it.

RE: Falcon 4 from Steam
When you get it running I suggest installing the alternative launcher and the Jan Has models. Also the high res runways and taxi ways. You can find them in the community mods section.
Welcome to BMS!

RE: Okay, BMS… I'm ready! :)
There is no date for 4.34 yet. People said it will be out soon for over a year and a half. Everyone was sure it was going to be released last December and we are already halfway through March.

RE: Antenna Elevation Pots and FSSB R2 repair
Oh there isn’t a fit problem the pot works great. Pretty much a drop in replacement. What I mean is the bushing on the pot is slightly smaller M7 instead of 3/8 like the CTS was so there is a small gap around the pot. Digikey includes a washer that is large enough to cover the gap and keep the pot from moving.

RE: Antenna Elevation Pots and FSSB R2 repair
Unfortunately no center detent on that one. That same series (link below) has a center detent version but it was out of stock and the minimum order qty was 1,200.

RE: Antenna Elevation Pots and FSSB R2 repair
Update for everyone in the future that might have this issue.
Realsimulator got back to me and said if the FSSB 2 breaks you are SOL. They can’t repair them due to the strain gauges being epoxied to the board.
I found a replacement pot for the antenna elevation. The bushing diameter is a smaller than the CTS one but it still works no problem with the washer that comes with it.

Antenna Elevation Pots and FSSB R2 repair
So I found a few used cougars at a local electronics store. The guy said a couple were broken but offered me a good deal so I got them with the intention of repairing them and selling them. When I got home I found a few of them had dead air brake and dogfight switches and the antenna elevation pots on all of them were dead. From searching online it seems thrustmaster has stopped supplying the antenna pots and CTS has stopped making them. I haven’t found a post on here or DCS or anywhere else listing a part number for replacement. Being mechanically inclined this land of electrical stuff is confusing but I’m trying to learn. I know the original CTS pots were 100k Ohm but somewhere I read 10K or 300k will work. I looked on digikey and mouser but I’m not sure which to get. I am wondering if anyone here has recently replaced their antenna pots and can provide the model number for the one they used?
Second question 2 of the sticks have FSSB R2. On one of them the X axis is dead and I was wondering if anyone knows whether realsimulator can fix those or has an up to date email address so I can get in contact? I sent an email to the sales and general info email addresses listed on their site 8 days ago but so far haven’t heard back.

RE: RealSimulator F-16SG-HOM Joystick
We need a F-16 throttle not another F-16 stick. And 5 way hats on every button? I have to ask myself why.
