RE: What happened to Mav-jp?
Since this is a flight simulation forum… shouldn’t the word “grounded” be used instead of “banned”…
Flight leader… RTB for rearming…

RE: F16 Brakes at 4 35
Preventing the wheels from locking up drastically affects stopping distance on all surfaces.
Without ABS, it is not possible to maintain maximum braking effort over any useful duration. Professional drivers could maintain close to maximum braking effort with skill. Just planting your foot would make the wheels lock up, drastically decreasing braking effort and increasing stopping distance. Failing to apply sufficient pressure on the pedal also decreases braking effort, again increasing the stopping distance. A professional driver could maintain close to maximum braking effort by knowing how much pressure they can apply without causing the wheels to lock, gained from much experience.
ABS allows the computer to detect the onset of lockup, before wheel lock occurs, and decrease brake pressure accordingly. You get the maximum possible braking effort, and all you have to do is plant your foot. More brake pressure would lead to the wheels locking, decreasing braking effort. Less brake pressure would be also less braking effort.
Comparing ABS with no ABS, ABS decreases stopping distance. For professional drivers, ABS decreases stopping distance somewhat. For everyone else, ABS decreases stopping distance significantly.
Thanks for the clarity Blu3wolf…

RE: F16 Brakes at 4 35
I always thought that ABS prevents the wheels from locking up and has no affect on stopping distances on wet or dry surfaces… only the type of brakes for disc or drum braking affects that in regards to your speeds.

RE: Jan Has F-16 LV4.2 Update packs
The thread title and download links mention ALW 4. What is ALW? I figured out what LV is (Launch Vipers I assume, from the janhas.net website). But what is ALW?
Air Launched Weapons (ALW)

RE: Going DX programming only on x52
More the other way round your DX buttons are 1-32 per device whereas in the BMS Keyfiles they are 0-31. Example if you press the pickle button on your X52 it will show up as S2 in the UI. But in the key file the callback would be
the red 1 is the button 2 from the UI -1
by the way in your falcon installation folder under Falcon BMS 4.34\Docs\01 Input Devices\03 HOTAS Setup\Saitek X-52 you’ll find a full DX key file BMS - BasicDX X-52.key. I personally use that file and quite happy with the setup. Only change is that I have setup the ministick Axis as band in order to use them for cursor slew in the Logiteck X52 H.O.T.A.S
Oakdesign … is there any way that I could get a copy of your keyfile?
