RE: [BMS Roadmap 4.37 U3] News from the BMS Team
@Mav-jp Interesting it is. But I fly Falcon BMS mainly becouse i love the Falcon. Not the Eagle, even if that is a machine i admire. Perhaps the developers are in the wrong course when they prefere to use time on the Eagle instead of developing F16 to its up to date standards, and forget Link16 and further looking into the new era of F16V and Block 70/72. In Nordic Theater i defend Norway together with the Finnish and Swedish Air Force, and we have been cooperating with Link16 in many years in RL. Exept in BMS. My sugestion is to stick to the Viper, and let others find another suitable simulators they can fly if they prefere anothers planes. But they will regret, the dynamic scenarios in BMS is so good that every serious Pilot will sooner ore later seek back

RE: Creating and Running a Campaign: One User's Guide
@SoBad
I tried another solution. Started the campaign in ordinary way, with HQ as responsible for fragging.Then made three new squadrons on my airfield, with latest edition og mission commander, and set all three to manually fragging.
Then it looks like i can enjoy to play missions with 72 planes for myself. Great!
I dont know if this solution full fill yours need, but i am very pleased, and it was thanks to yours Initiative with your pdf-file.I tested this with only one hooked up in MP, but he did not get any failures or CTD.
I will test further, and let you know. -
RE: Tonight's weather??? SUNNY!!!
@SoBad No problem. Move your squadrons to Norther Norway (Nordic) and choose summer and sunny. Then you have it like you wish 24/7

RE: Questions about DEAD mission.
@Revientor said in Questions about DEAD mission.:
But with AI, normaly AI in AG role, is not going to fight against enemy planes, as you are the only human in there, you must asume what is best.
I feel this is not correct, if you give the order W4 (Weapons free A/A) then they will very often go after Bandits. If not, try “drop stores” to wingman, element or whole flight if you understand the dog fight is impossible not to fight to survive.
Also if you lock an air target and link it over to wingman or element followed by the order Attack my target, they will respond.

@drtbkj Relax. Not necessary. The two answers above gave me the right conclusion, and sorted me out. I only have not had the time to thank them.

Calm before the storm…
The moderators and dev`s hav been very quiet the last weeks, and very few news from the Theater developers.
I can feel why, i think they are working 24/7 and have planned to release U4 before the Easter Hollidays!
I hope. I reale hope… -

RE: Nordic Update
@haukka81
I think Northern Norway and Lofoten is better in VR than Finland Steep mountains and green valleys with rivers full of salmon all the way down to the fjord, in sted of much flat land, wood and lakes ?i made my comment as a teaser for developers of this Theater, the best in BMS besides KTO. But unfortunately no reaction.

RE: Nordic Theater 4.37
@Atze-0 said in Nordic Theater 4.37:
or is this different in Nordic?
I have no clue, but it looks like the TRI files in Nordic only is half done, all of them.
I tried to put the sentences from #DO_EVENT 17 in the Victory script
in the Save0.TRI file for the first Champaign, the Russian Bear, and finally got a medal, and a Champaign win. Tried it once more, and got a star on my medal. But also loose was updated with one each time i got a Victory, and also a new movie showing Russian progress was shown after the Victory movie.// BLUE Wins - BODEN and ROVANIEMI captured by the Blue side

RE: Nordic Theater 4.37
@Atze-0 said in Nordic Theater 4.37:
But you can lookout the objectives yourself: i.e. for nordic look into the winning condition of the tri file where you find the IDs.
Then, in Mission commander search those under objectives in the CampID column and can see in the description, which political target this really is.I did as you said, and took out the three towns, got a video saying Nordic Wins, and then a video with Russians Forces retreating. But no medals as i supposed to have, and no game won marked in the logbook. Can you tell me out of this tri file what should happen after a Victory?

RE: Nordic Theater 4.37
@drtbkj Is this Victory Conditions still working? i am not able to find Rytinki on the map in 2D, so it is difficult to take
“The win conditions have been simplified , but basically the same. In Nordic 4.35 there were 9 cities required to posses to win save0(Russian Bear) , In 4.37 there are just the main three. Kamilarvi, Rytinki, and ROVANIEMI”
Can you help me out where to find Victory conditions in each Champaign in Nordic Theater, i would be pleased. I looked in all catalogues in Nordic map, and used MC and WDP without finding this. Please be advised…

RE: how can i command a flight of various aircraft through radio?
@oakdesign said in how can i command a flight of various aircraft through radio?:
@AWACS334 you can only command / communicate the the AC in your own flight. If you want to go beyond than you need to fly MP with other humans
Is it not possible to tune into their IDM frequency and transfere air targets or ground targets? Air target to Escort and SA5/SA10 to DEAD?

RE: BMS Other Fighters Mafia (BMSOFM) Journal
@drtbkj said in BMS Other Fighters Mafia (BMSOFM) Journal:
We do full Theater Installers. They are over in Theater Discussion, in it’s geographic area, or in the Mafia Files https://www.mediafire.com/folder/rp58m79l0lhys/BMS+4.37.2-3Theaters,Campaigns+and+TE’s .
Well said, but is it well done? When i go to this link, i find Nordic dated May 10 2023.
When reading other Messages from the OFM Team, i find:
OFM 1.7.3.exe dated May 10 2023
OFM 2.3.2 dated Nov 25 2023Both under Theater Discussion (Nordic)
But:
Under Community Mods & Tools i find:Nordic Updater 2.3.4 dated Des 17 2023
Universal Updater 2.3.5 dated Jan 8 2024
Universal Updater 2.3.6 dated Jan 9 2024
Universal Updater 2.4.1.7 dated Mar 30 2024Then i get confused, because we are 5 colleges running MP together, but we do not agree which release of Nordic is the one which is most up to date, and best to use
Of course, included in the latest update we would like a NOR F-35-A working, same with F-22, and of course AIM 9X Blk 2 refinement.
Please give an advise how to get up to date.
My thoughts:
I click on Theaters, Europa and Nordic, and on the Top line i can choose download the current version and get happy. If i have to install the universal updater first, that is OK (I guess), even if original Balkans is my only Theatre besides Korea.
And finally: drtbkj and the rest of the team: You Never Fly OFM Alone

RE: How do you discipline TARCAP (AI) pilots?
@drtbkj said in How do you discipline TARCAP (AI) pilots?:
HAVCAP idea. I’ve had some luck with setting them as BARCAP
i have tried both with success.
I used F22 as TARCAP, they disappeared to the vest… as HAVCAP and BARCAP they did a good job. That means something is wrong with their TARCAP behaviour. I do not know if this is a failure for all TARCAPs in BMS.
