@buzzbomb said in Some suggestions for improvements for the next versions -4.5 ?:
If I may be so bold…I speak as an inconsistent flyer. I go through phases of totally ignoring Falcon or BMS and then I go through a phase where it is what I play when I have any free time. I also suffer from a bit of impatience and tend to be a skimmer rather than a deep reader, unless I get super interested and FOCUS. That’s when “deep learning” takes place for me.
I remember that the original Falcon 4.0 had a very nice series of progressive training engagements all neatly written up in the spiral bound book that came in the retail box, which accompanied the training TEs in F4. SUPER helpful and useful.
BMS…well, honestly I miss the list of TEs that were in F4. Because I’m relearning . And that brings up a big point I want to make, the reason for this post:
I understand that what sets BMS apart from all competition is the level of hardcore realism to flight models, operational procedures, tactics and strategy, etc. To the point that sometimes it has bumped up against the fence surrounding classified data. Although it’s never talked about much if at all, I think it’s really impressive that the BMS team has communications with government monitors whose input keeps the sim out of classified territory. This a sim that is not to be taken lightly.
But…it’s not user friendly toward a newbie or someone who’s getting back into it after an extended period of time away from it, who basically is starting over.

One final comment/suggestion/request: The control assignments screens could be substantially improved. I would like a feature that lets you press a button on your controller (Cougar HOTAS in my case…I’m old school) and have it identify the function assigned. And have a search feature that lets me find out if there is an assigned control for a named function. And…be able to create a control to feature assignment. For example, if I press the weapons cycle/NWS switch on the upper right side of the Cougar stick, it should list the commands and commands with modifiers that are assigned to that button. Or if I don’t know what the Nose Wheel Steering assignments are, type NWS or Nose Wheel Steering into a search bar and get the assignment.
