F-15 often has a kinematic advantage because it is faster. The missile inherits that extra speed, thereby extending its range.

RE: When to engage defensive?
@Ogi135
Hi Ogi,
I’ve had instruction from a few people who I would consider highly qualified on this subject. One of the most important things I learned is that against a competent adversary you probably won’t be able to support your missile all the way to pitbull. Likewise, your adversary should probably follow the same advice. With some luck your missile might still find the bandit when it goes active. For PvP combat, BVR is a game of airspace control, not necessarily shooting the other guy down.For maximum kill probability, I recommend reading about the Rutowski climb. This article can get you started: https://www.engineeringpilot.com/post/how-to-climb-and-why
The basic idea is to spend as little time as possible between mach 0.9 and mach 1.1, where drag is highest. You want to pass through those airspeeds in a dive. If you’re not at mach 1.3 or higher when you launch your Aim-120 your opponent will be. -
RE: Bindings don't save
Nevermind. I figured out that there is a completely different launcher now where you are supposed to save your bindings. This is not the same (old) launcher that is in my install folder. Maybe get rid of the old one? BMS is still pretty awesome.

Bindings don't save
Hi, it’s been a while since I’ve run Falcon BMS. With the newest version none of my keybindings save, even if I save them and try to load, even if I click ‘apply,’ etc. So every time I boot the game I have to remap everything in order to play. Thanks for your help.

RE: Cockpit pan is not smooth
For other reasons I recently gutted my PC and am running a fresh install of Win7 and BMS. Now I get better fps and smoother panning in full screen mode, and it is much worse in windowed mode. This is better for the 2d interface because I am using a 4k TV as a display, but it makes the issue much more mysterious. Some setting I had in the past was causing the problem in full screen mode and I do not know what it was.

RE: Cockpit pan is not smooth
See post #2. That made everything better.
With my old R9 280 it didn’t matter if I ran in windowed mode. With my gtx 1070 fps are in the toilet if I don’t run windowed mode.
Thank you!

RE: Balkans Theater of Operation for BMS 4.33 U5
Whitefang, you seem to know a lot about audio media. Could my problem be related to a codec? Is there something I should try to see if the radio calls will play correctly in the 3d world?
-
RE: Balkans Theater of Operation for BMS 4.33 U5
That is odd. I would try to reinstall.
No change after a new install. Just to check I tried replacing the sounds with the default sounds. There is no change. I also do not hear any chatter in the 2d campaign map view. Of course, that option is checked “on” in the sound setup menu.

RE: Balkans Theater of Operation for BMS 4.33 U5
I installed 4.33.1c with the hotfix, and I have no radio sounds. I checked and double checked the frequencies and volume. I get subtitles but no sound, which seems to indicate something went wrong with the installation. Search didn’t turn up a similar problem. Am I missing something or do I need to install it again?

RE: Does 4.33 U1 support 3840 x 2160 resolution?
Great! We didn’t know that when we set it up. It was probably 2 years ago.
-
RE: Does 4.33 U1 support 3840 x 2160 resolution?
Most likely because 3840x2160 didn’t show up in his dropdown menu, hmmmm?;)
It shows up in the dropdown menu of other flight sims without any problems.

RE: Does 4.33 U1 support 3840 x 2160 resolution?
I don’t have a 4k display but I helped my friend set up his for Falcon BMS. We had to edit a file with hexadecimal to set the resolution correctly for his display.
Use the attached dx9display file for your 3840x2160 display.
This pic shows the important changes to the file.

RE: 4.33.1 will release shortly: what you need to know and how to be prepared
Found the disk much quicker than I thought I would. I have version 1.0.0.2. The OP said something about patching to 1.8, and then said don’t worry about it. So, the original 1998 or 1999 install is OK?

RE: 4.33.1 will release shortly: what you need to know and how to be prepared
This is great for Falcon, and terrible for me. Now I have to go digging through old storage boxes to find the CD. Ugh.:-?

of “Receiving Units”.the bandwidth we set was 1024. have you guys ever found similar prbolems?We found that 1024 was not enough for the client. Try 2048.

RE: Falcon 4.0 now on Steam
The folks leaving the negative reviews wanted to play the original and the software they purchased required the CD to do it.

RE: 4.33 Issues (Known or not)
“Tactical” is given in the briefing.
I tried some of the things suggested above and awacs has quieted down.
-
RE: 4.33 Issues (Known or not)
Avoid CH13 and prefer one of the Tactical Freq … CH13 (like CH14) is nothing realistic (sort of massive broadcast with heavy traffic).
Apologies for dragging up this old post, but I switched from Ch13 to the tactical frquency and AWACS was still spamming like crazy. It won’t shut up and chatters constantly throughout the sortie unless I detune AWACS completely.

RE: No Enemy in Campaign..
Got it working today. Host was set to 4096 and client to 2048. We also disabled the control surfaces and I removed the weather map. Thanks for the help.

RE: No Enemy in Campaign..
I was running a weather map as the host. I’ve disabled that and we’ll try again and see if that makes the difference.
