RE: What is something you wish you knew before committing to BMS
@aviationplus I wished I had bought bitcoin in time, it would have had a profound effect in building speed

RE: 2023 - Retrospective from a BMS team member
Hi Max,
The huge amount of appreciation I have for you and all the developer members is hard to express.
A large amount of my life is revolving around the simulator I have build over the years.
And signs are there that 2024 is going to lift things to a whole new level.The coming of 4.38 is highly anticipated, since it will probably coincide here with new things related to the simpit.
Never expected this passion could go so far, and much of it is thanks to all the developers.Wishing everyone here a spectacular 2024 and dreams do come true

RE: F16V (Block 70)
Perhaps a bit overstated
With Yame64 and Helios we are already simulating it.
The are already homebuilt cockpits with a CPD working.
I use yame and it is awesome, with a bit more development and debugging it would be perfect.Idealy I would prefer to have a CPD integrated in BMS, nothing classified there.
A moving map with integrated flight plan, a fuel management page and what not, it is so incredible awesome. -
RE: Question for Thrustmaster F16 Viper TQS
@skippermike
Fine adjusting a throttle with a short TQS arm is very hard, especially if it is a potmeter system.
With a longer arm on a light friction setting it completely different.
And watch videos how dynamic pilots are on the throttle in formation or tanker formation, constant adjustments, no fixed setting but a continue tiny adjustment. -

RE: Link 16 things you want in the next update
<p>Sometimes after my mission I sit in my pit and everybody disappearsâŚpooofff<br /><br />I would love to see more planes and car and equipment, even if it is just static</p>

RE: ChatGPT's answer about the flight model of BMS
@Wazaza Still a nice read and makes me curious what Doctor-Chat says about the âotherâ simulator

RE: Kneeboards for simpit builders
@Atlas Basically I use the printed paper(s) on my kneeboard for mission specifics, I used Weapon Delivery Planner a lot.
Now I fill in pre-printed charts, that is easy because mission planning is a thing anyway in BMS.
On the iPad mini I use databased stuff, like charts of airports, checklists, emergency stuff (but in my little perfect world never needed:-))I donât prefer the sim to connect with my iPad, maybe pre-planned mission info uploaded but not realtime interaction.
In reality pilots work like this and thatâs how I prefer it.
Because I literally sit in a 1:1 cockpit and physically have those strapped on my legs, so thatâs the reason why.
Sometimes in full gear when we create insta content.Besides that I made A5 size binders for the theaters I fly in and keep those in the map box.
There so much good stuff included in BMS that is worth to print and bind.Creativity is your friend, so do whatever is good for you like Stevie says working with jpegs, perfect.

@Gordo
I use an iPad mini for charts, lists and diagrams
Then printed missions on a MXU-163P -

RE: Cockpit ergonomics check
@Atlas
There some excellent cockpit plans that are available for builders on viperpits.org , even it it where to draw just some measurements from it for your setup.
That you have to lean a little to reach mfd functions isnât a real issue imho, sometimes my left hand goes to the right mfd if the steering requires constant input, and then I lean perhaps.
The left hand does more, like operating the ICP and left consoles, the pit is designed to give the right hand less workload during flight.
The right consoles are often referred as âset and forgetâThe seats centre line is less curved than you would expect, the curves increase more to the sides.
As said before my shoulder blades hardly touch the backrest.
I donât what your rig looks like, but if you are in the beginning stage I would buy one of those gaming office chairs and remove the wheeled leg and fix it inclined on a mfd type of support frame.
