    • Looking for user made missions in 4.37

      There was a post by someone back in 4.35 and later updated for 4.36 that had a large number of usermade missions that went well with the training missions.
      It had a mission that was easy, medium and hard flights and missions for the F18. The were very well done.

      Does anyone know if these missions are available for 4.37.

      Also is there a spot where ppl can upload and download usermade missions. I can make my own missions, but since I made them, I know apprx where and when the enemy AI will appear which takes away some of the mystery of flying them.

      Also, has anyone posted usermade mission specific to some of the theaters. (i.e. if you have the Mideast theater, usermade missions for Persia, or Israel…

    • Range Knob won't bind with CM2 Throttle

      I use to have my range knob binded to my Virpil CM2 so that I could zoom from 1x to 4x quickly in the TGP.

      However for some reason I cannot bind that now.
      From the Avionics and Radar page in the Alternative Launcher, I click on assign and move the knob back and forth and it doesn’t bind.
      In the Virpil configuration is is button 15 and 16 when you move the knob. (that should be within the button limit of faclon.

      Any ideas how to bind them.

      Same issue with the Virpil Flaps lever. I use to have it bind to the gears toggle. But for some reason it doesn’t bind now…

    • Cannot map any buttons using Alternative launcher

      for some reason none of my buttons on the CM3 throttle is mapping to the alternative launcher in BMS. My joystick is mapped, but not the throttle.

      All buttons on the VPC Configuration tool lights as per normal, but when I press a command in the alternative launcher and press the button I want, none are being assigned. Even trying low number buttons (>32) don’t map

      The only thing that works is the throttle position,

    • Virpil CM3 axis inverted,,cant seem to fix

      Re: Virpil CM3 Throttle inverted axis

      For some reason my virpil CM3 axis got is backwards, in that when the throttle is at 0, BMS throttle is at 100 % and when the throttle is at 100, the BMS throttle shows 0%,

      I opened the configuration software and clicked on the Inversion button and saved. I had to recalibrate but now although the virpil configuration software shows the input source going from 0 to 100%, the Axis logical (output) only hovers between 49 and 51%.

      I tried checking the setting the inversion for rY and not checking the inversion for rX, This shows that inversion is false for rX and true for rY, but BMS still has the setting reversed.

      If I check both settings to inversion, then both inversion shows true and the axis output is between 49 and 50%,

      Any help with this,I am using 4.35 as I have a number of training missions and don’t think they are compatible with 4.36.

      Any help would be appreciated,

    • How to swtich missiles or bomb racks on the wing in AA or AG mode

      I want to program a button on my hotas to switch missile types (i.e. Aim-120 to Aim-9x) with one button.
      I am in AA mode with the missile selected is the AIM-120. I have programed to my hotas the NWS A/R DISC MSL Step Swtich. However when i press it I get Guns. If I press it again nothing happens unless I press AA again and it goes back to the Aim 120

      I know there my not be a button like that in real life, but I am not a real pilot and want every advantage against the AI .

      Also, I assume that if I am in AG mode, I won’t get the next type of bomb (i,e from MK 82 to GBU-XXX

      Is there a way to do this

    • RE: Does anyone use Elgato Stream Deck XL Advanced Stream Control . Thinking about getting one

      Can I ask what mfg and model you guys use to get the above.
      And how hard is it to program…Is it just a matter of downloading a user file on DCS or BMS (I don’t have the skill or understanding of programming to write a LUA or any type of compter script).

    • RE: Does anyone use Elgato Stream Deck XL Advanced Stream Control . Thinking about getting one

      thanks guys…
      When you say profile,how easy is it to program. Is just a matter of working with the falcon BMS setup screen or the alternative launcher, then pressing a corresponding button for it to be recognized, or is it more in depth than that.

    • Does anyone use Elgato Stream Deck XL Advanced Stream Control . Thinking about getting one

      I just saw this thing and looks really good to program a number of short cuts (like using it as a ICP and other functions). Does anyone have one of these devices, and if so, how hard is it to have it work with 4.35 or 4.36.
      Although there are others with less button and less expensive, but I like the 32 buttons. I figure I can use this in falcon or other flight sims as well.

      I saw this one on the BMS forum. https://forum.falcon-bms.com/topic/17620/streamdeck-profil-falcon-bms-4-35?_=1669330833686, but don’t know what model this is. nor how old it is compared to what is new out there.

    • Look for key command for zooming in/out view in TGP

      <p>I want to program my hotas so that when I am using the maverick I can zoom in and out the view in the tgp using one of my rotary dials.<br />I thought it was ctl f3 or f4, but when I press the combination it doesn’t jump to anything so I may have deleted the command or it was never assigned…<br /><br />However I can’t find the key command for that…<br /><br />Does any one know what it is…<br /><br />Thanks<br /></p>
