After placing the .fmap files in the folder and loading it in Falcon BMS do you select “maps auto update” to have BMS continue to use the generated weather from F4Wx?

RE: Weapon Delivery Planner released
I seem to have a problem with fuel weight in WDP. I set the fuel in BMS save, then open it up in WDP but it always shows the maximum fuel of the aircraft, not what I set it in bms. Is there a way to manually enter in fuel quantity or am I doing something wrong?

RE: Meaning of FCR symbol
A symbol that is not mentioned in any of the manuals is the dual yellow chevrons denoting an aircraft that is actively jamming. That one took me a while to figure out

RE: Flightstick recommendations
dido on the TrackIR but I never heard of this UTC it looks interesting, I do not use a head set (yet, picking up a good one for x-mas) so I have been using the clip on the baseball cap works ok mostly but can lose track at extreme angles if you are not set up properly.

Question again
I guess I will ask again as I got no response last time :D. I use Weapon Delivery Planer for my missions but fuel weight in WDP is not what I set in BMS. No mater what I do, save/re load the fuel weight in WDP is always at max wich give me the wrong performance rad outs. Is there a way to manually enter the fuel weight in WDP?

RE: Pc strength question
A good entry level stick and throttle has been a bit of a unicorn for the flight sim world for a while and just another un needed barrier for people looking to get started with flight sims. But recently Thrustmaster released the T.16000 at $100 cnd and I think this fills that gap nicely. I have not had any hands on time with it but reviews and opinions are positive it might be just what you are looking for. I currently am using the discontinued X-55 myself but have allot of mixed feelings about it. But for the $200 CND I paid it was worth it. The TM Warthog is currently selling for $600 cnd and is beyond my price range unfortunately but represents one of the best flight sticks ever made. CH Products also make a no frills stick and throttle cheap but I am unsure if it is good or not.

RE: Pc strength question
CPU is fine RAM is better then fine but the lack of a dedicated GFX card “may” bottle neck some times. You could always just install it and find out? Falcon 4 can be had dirt cheap now. I assume this is a laptop? if you are not already into aircraft sims a word of advice, In my opinion this sim must be used at minimum with a HOTAS (Hands On Throttle and Stick) even better with a 22" or above 1920x1080 display, TrackIR and some rudder pedals running on a dedicated desktop. Arrow keys and a track pad are not going to cut it.

RE: How modify the Point of view linked for example with the Buttons number "3"
If you are not using Track IR hit 3 again and it knocks the view pitch down more. If you use Track IR like me….it is not worth the headache get use to it

RE: What's with these eroneous wapoint.
What steer point number is it? Random? STP 11 is the alternate airfield. I know this dose not solve the problem but you can just drag the way point to where ever you want?.

WD Planer Weight Discrepancy?
While using Weapons Delivery planer I noticed the the Gross weight, take of fuel and load out weight are not the same as I saved in BMS. I know I have the right package number and saved before opening in WD. What gives?

RE: Remove the radio menu?
Thanks for all the interest!. I did indeed mean the radio menu. I figured since there was an option to disable subtitles and player pilot voice that there would be one for the radio menu. Might make a good wish list feature

RE: Remove the radio menu?
I wouldn’t even know where to begin to do that?

Remove the radio menu?
I picked up a copy of Voice Attack for use in BMS and it is great for immersion but the radio menu popping up every command kinda ruins it. IS there a way to turn the on and off easily? I do not see a key command for it.

RE: Choosing the right load out
Hey thanks for the reply, as with most things in life good intel with good planing goes along way. I just noticed as well that in the load out screen there are some saved load outs for different missions which gives me a base to start out with. One of the manuals references the joint munitions effectiveness manual and with no surprise its seems to be classified, can anyone recommend say pdf of munitions names/types with what they where designed to be used against? I can’t even seem to find a complete list of munitions for the F-16 in BMS 4.33 outside of loading up a mission/campaign and scrolling through the list alt-tabing to google what each are.

Choosing the right load out
I suppose the question will apply to all combat sims, how do you guys go about selecting the right munitions for a mission specifically A-G. There are so many different CBUs, GBUs, JSOW etc that it can be a little confusing as to what are most effective. Maybe there is some sort of list with recommended load outs somewhere?

RE: 3D Cockpit Center with TrakIR
Thanks for the response, that’s a bummer. As for the sugestion, that is exactly what I have been doing but TrackIR has this default dead zone for the center view which is nice to stop small movements. Maybe I will try disabling the dead zone to smooth it out. Cheers!

3D Cockpit Center with TrakIR
when using the 3d cockpit with my track IR the view that the camera is centered to is a little to high for my liking so I flipped throught the BMS-Manual included with the game and found on page 122 what I think I am looking for bud the instruction are vague.
the default view center is like this
But I want this
It states in the manual
“Unlike the Snap (2D) Pit, where we have sticky views only, you can smoothly pan the POV in the pit. Once entering the 3D world this is the default view. It is distinguished between the first key press and the second one (See screenshots below. Note: It’s not a toggle.).”
I dont understand when I press 3 twice I get the same view? but the manual shows two different settings for two different views? I hope I have explained myself clearly if anyone can help.
I don’t want to increase the FOV anymore because everything harder to see I just want the default view panned down a bit like the in the photo.Update: I just tried it without TrackIR on and It worked! like what I wanted but when I turn it on center my view with track IR and press 3 twice nothing happens?

Balkans leg mod for other theaters
I was watching a you tuber who had enabled the leg mod from the Balkans theater and it looks really nice. I know the Israel theater has a leg mod and Harpoon released his a while back but it was a bit of a pain to get it to work. Is there any way to use the Balkans legs for the Korean theater? Thanks.
