well not bubble but LOD 3d model distances most probably…
Anybody know the parent record numbers of all craters please?

My idea would be to create a simple KTO TE, bomb a red airbase with various weapons and then trying to land on it.
So have we already verified that GBUs work fine?
Cheers, Uwe
I tested and below is the result:
-Bomb craters can be seen very well from cockpit view. My plane get exploded at landing after it hits a crater on the runway. Mission report log also confirms the runway is destroyed.
-Bomb craters by dumb boms (MK-84, BLU-107) and GPU/ laser bombs (GPU-31, GPU-24/27) all disappeared after 5-10 second in ALL EXTERNAL VIEWS (`,6, 7, 8, 9, 0, shift 7 keys). When I jump back in my cockpit, I can see them all appear again within a distance of about 7000-8000 ft.
So I think it is the issue with all the External View functions

OK will test today then let you know the result?
@luan_vn From cockpit view they last longer?
-Yes, Craters lasts longer in cockpit view. I tested and saw they are still in place after 10 minutes.
-Craters from Laser and JDAMS bombs only last 5-10 seconds in satellite view (` key) and External view (6,7,8,9,0 keys)
Can’t reproduce at least not for AP GBU such as GBU-31(v)3/B /AP, GBU-24/A/B /AP and GBU27/B /AP craters persist even after going 20 miles off target and come back after serveral minutes
Thanks for letting me know so I can try to do something…I changed graphic setting AA from sample 8 to sample 1 and did not use the satellite view button () to view craters on the runways so they all appear very nice through the cockpit. Craters still just last for 10-20 seconds then all disappear in satellite view (
) but that’s OK for me. BMS 4.35 has very nice ground tiles and naval strike performance, really love it!
it works fine here, and onestly looks like bigger than previous falcon versions.
how do you set the BA before dropping?
I tested and found the bomb craters by dump bombs such as MK-84, BLU-109 are all OK, bomb craters cause by Laser bombs and JDAMS bombs all disappear after 7-20 seconds, is there a chance to correct the issue in the Editor?
I’ve noticed in 4.35 that, less than a minute after a successful BLU-109 strike on runways, OPFOR Migs still take off, as if there was no damage (mission debrief confirms multiple runway sections were destroyed). I noted it as a probable bug in repair times and moved on. Would be nice if it’s a bug and can be fixed, though. I’m happy to submit mission files, etc., if it helps…
Mine has the exact same issue too. Please report the crater quick disappearance bug and runway immortal bug, thank you
if that’s true, yes that’s odd and should not be -
Yeah, all craters only last 5-7 seconds on ground or on the runway, is it a bug or just something wrong with mine?

Oh now I know why, on the runway, the craters just last about 6-7 seconds then disappear! they are supposed to stay there on the runway until I end the mission. Do you know any setting to keep them last longer?
Perhaps it is a distance problem, at other versions, craters are visible up to a certain distance and dissapears passing that threshold
I let many AI aircraft (F-15E) do OCA strike on Haeju runway, even they drop several bombs hit the runway and I view the hits at very close distance, just 200 feets from the hit but actually there is no any crater on the runway!!!
Hello
I noticed BMS 4.35 has no bomb craters on the runway or else where on the ground, no matter how many bombs I dropped on enemy runways in OCA strike, the runways look like “new build” ones. Anybody know how to correct it manually, or it is a bug? thankyou!
I tried the TacRefDB Editor V2 to open the file TacRefDB.bin but it seems this editor version no longer works with 4.35. It used to work well for 4.34. Anybody know any new version please help, thanks a lot!
The canopy handle looks same as 4.34, the handle responds when clicked but canopy does not open, anybody please help?
After you are familiarized try these improvements for the hornet.

Yes, I did. Those are great stuffs, I also modified a little bit all of them for my taste
Jammer works after take off, did you try that?
Oh That’s the case, It works now, thank you!
Don´t know whats wrong on your side. Maybe other users can help.
Edit: I remembered now! You have to map “aux: master mode norm” to your keyboard or joystick, then TMS left for IFF scan.
I don´t remember if there is a switch in the cockpit.
Great, that make IFF works perfect now, thank you!
How about the Jammer, I did all switches “ecm xmit, dispenser bypass and aux rel enable” and pressed “J” but the jammer indicator on front panel still did not light up, any idea?
IFF - i just press TMS left.
Jammer - during ramp press mouse left click at these switches “ecm xmit, dispenser bypass and aux rel enable”. They are located close to de HSI. Then map “SimECMOn” to your keyboard or joystick.
I did TMS left but It didn’t work. It only works if my F-18 ramp is started by the game :roll:
Hi there,
Just some more issues with the F-18 ramp start in 4.34. How to turn on IFF and Jammer power anybody please help?
I don´t have any video.
Just follow these steps:
- after take off change INS switch to IN FLT ALIGN position(try to stay level flight - don´t do hard maneuverings);
- in INS screen at DED wait until count 4.0 or 6.0(i don´t remember exactly) or up;
- then change INS switch to NAV.
Done, have fun!
Great! I did and the INS turned on OK after take off, thank you!
If you want to play without any updates you can do IN FLIGHT ALIGNMENT after take off from carrier.
Do you have any video link for in flight alignment?
