So I am not sure why you are asking that question then as I have clearly asked him the reason for this odd request and asked how one option (unlimited fuel) is not acceptable. As I said, claiming realism but then asking for a magic refuel option is a disconnect.

It’s not only you. Someone else also talked about bad training
Im a member and trainer in this squadron and i have to make this question. And with that question i want to tell you to focus in the subject of this topic.

@Atlas said in Training features request:

So why not focus on what your main objective is? Why do T/O - rejoin - navigate - [main objective] - rejoin - land when you can probably do 2 or 3 rounds of that [main objective] if you start a TE in mid-air a few nm from the fence-in point? Especially if you have limited time, then you are not wasting time on things that you are not focusing on, such as the other phases of flight. Starting in mid-air also eliminates the bad fuel management problem.
Like if a buddy and I want to practice A-A engagements and doing offensive/defensive/neutral starts, we can frag a flight where we do everything from startup to shutdown if we have the time to spare or, as more often is the case, we’ll just skip all of that and fly a dogfight or custom TE.

PLEASE, PLEASE do not tell us what we can do, we ALREADY know.
You spoke about unlimited fuel, unlimited weapons , flights in the frag , AAR, to start the flight near to the main purpose…
Whenever it’s necessary, we do it that way

@kodi gave 2 examples and 1 for me. Again please focus on this 3 examples and pay attention in the subject of this topic.

Since you want to take part in this discussion, answer with a <I do not find it a good idea> <I find it a good idea>

@Atlas said in Training features request:

Sorry, did you miss all the previous discussion and questions?

No, i don’t miss nothing my friend. I am just expressing a question

@Atlas said in Training features request:

Sure, and I can see the point there. For training purpose, why not frag a tanker near your range? If the trainee does bad fuel management, then get him to hit the tanker. That’s even more training for him, pointing out how he did bad fuel management and getting him to polish his AAR skills. Might even practice how to locate the tanker and plan a rejoin.

First of all i will agee with you,
Has it occurred to you that the time I can devote to the sim may be limited? or we have not put an AAP flight?
Nobody said we would press the magic button on every flight, but sometimes it can be magic. What is bad? you can save time for more debriefing.

@Atlas said in Training features request:

Or if it is a training flight and the main purpose is the pop up attacks, then why not start on a hot jet, burner all the way to the range, do your practice attacks, then quit the mission? In the time you save for startup, enroute, egress, and landing, you can probably do another training session. The main purpose is practicing an attack, who cares about fuel states and joker/bingo?

My answer:

@Morgan said in Training features request:

When I train a pilot I try to see and show him not one object but the whole phase of the flight:

I really don’t understand how a simple request results in how he trains a squadron.
You think after 10 years that he don’t knows about unlimited fuel and unlimited weapons or flights in the frag?
Why don’t you think out of a box and try to understant or ask him the reason for these requests?
Let me give you a example:
When I train a pilot I try to see and show him not one object but the whole phase of the flight:

1. T/O
2. Join up in formation
3. Navigation in time
4. let say : pop up attacks
5. rejoin
6. landing
   In the above example the main purpose of the training flight is the (4)
   Now let’s say that the trainee do bad fuel managment and fuels do not reach him for 3 passes in the target and for LAND.
   We will miss the main purpose of the flight.
   Or for reload: 3 not good pass and we want one more for better results
   So: If i use unlimited fuel i think that the trainee will not managment fuels, from the other case i can give him a second chance.
   If i use unlimited weapons and the trainee is doing well, the weight of the aircraft will not change and on the landing it will be heavy.
   Again i say it is a training flight and the main purpose is the pop up attacks.
   I don’t think that this request is insane, for TRAINING purpose

@MaxWaldorf said in Training features request:

For the time being, use cheats as proposed but I don’t see value for BMS to undertake such a work to reduce realism…

My friend, BMS already has unlimited fuel and unlimited weapons and the @Ironman3 request will reduce realism???
Mayby it’s <more realistic> of the species existing now.

@spooky said in Training features request:

Again, BMS team has the right to say no and i think the reasons why we say no are as legit as your requests.

It’s only a request not a demand

@Atlas said in Training features request:

I am curious how you guys are running your training.

I hope you got your answer

Something is wrong with theese models I think.340 skin but the wing…american style
Anyone else with the same issue?

I think and your pit is american too :D:D
Go to c/falconbms4.35/data/add on emf/art/ckptart
Open the file for the f-16 that you want, and look if you have, in this file, 2 more (3dckpit & 3dbuttons)
You have only the 3dbuttons.
look and the other F-16s
From the zip, that you download EMF, extract somewhere only the ckptart file and after copy past in c/falconbms4.35/data/add on emf/ART

@Quasi_Stellar:

Mike, one small critique. There isn’t an IFF Button on the ICP to access the pages on the DED.

In server select basic keyfile and you will have IFF Button.

Im fan with this app…:D Thanks mikej

@Mav-jp:

yeah i did try that in the past, it did not improve the issue

Realy? At least 4 members in my SQ had a problem like yours or like soldano’s and with this HUB now they are all ΟΚ.

Ι cant think something else.

Cougar needs constant electrical voltage. If you have noticed this problem occurs when there is a electric current failure in home. Maybe the port that you connect your cougar dont have constant electrical voltage.
Try to use a HUB with external power supply for constant electrical voltage, that save my life for this problem.

@Mav-jp:

Reboot computer and hop firmware is gone … I wonder what should I do ? Never reboot ?

HUB with external power supply for this problem too.

Try here https://www.sendspace.com/file/u0kpdl

Just a look and i saw that your release is out of weapon envelope
