IF you have loaded the bird with the NVP pod (containing the TFR and FLIR functions), and type a certain altitude in the DED there, e.g. 5000ft, then if the TFR is operating and you maneuver the plane exceeded specific pitch and/or roll attitude criteria below this altitude, then it will light up some warning advisory to the pilot on hud and mfd’s.

As per TO-BMS1F-16CM-34-1-1.pdf page 133:

During the mission the AAF is triggered when the following conditions are met:

1. The TFR is in an operating mode (i.e. NORM, WX, VLC, or LPI) and
2. The aircraft is below the advisory altitude and
3. The aircraft exceeds either of the attitudes defined below:
   a) > 75° bank and pitch < 0°
   b) < 75° bank and pitch > -20°

This advisory consists of a flashing rectangular box containing a double set of words reading CHECK ATTITUDE, which is displayed on both MFDs. The pilot can disable the AAF by entering an advisory altitude of 0 feet.

May I propose, if possible, an HSD -MFD with an underlaying MAP of the theater we fly?

Military contractors with contracts to develop military-standard simulations officially for any AirForce, don’t care to implement DCS or MSFS -level graphics in their training systems…;

Thank you Radium!

@sasah320:

Is this feature real life for F16? Impressive!

Yes, that is a rl shot.

@Stevie:

We should have a moving map in basic BMS by now, I should think…might take some graphics manipulation of the map image, but it should be able to be done.

A small clarification for the “by now” -part.

I do love this “feature”, I’ve seen it live in the rl bird, used it in the rl sim, and have plenty of high-res proves that is a GREAT SA enhancer. For the ppl stating it is too much data / symbols to project on the small in-game 3D cockpit MFD, I would say, first this is a feature that will benefit users exporting MFD’s to a real-size MFD image projection, where they can clearly benefit from this feature info. Second, you can switch the map on/off with a flick of a switch, returning back to the classical HSD symbology.

As a game feature, I would personally say it is some half hour code work to reflect this in-game by a dev.

BUT. We can all understated that most probably there are other priorities, even if this is a small work, and I am sure there are other dozen new features and ideas that too demand small work too.
I would also think Devs would most probably want this to be done the proper way, meaning that this feature is not on all Viper birds, but only to the latest Block 5x+ / 5xM or upgraded ones, where “+” and “M” meaning Advanced and MMC7000, which is the latest Mission Computer capable of supporting this feature. So along this MMC7000 other “features” are present too on the bird/block, from FCR page symbology updates, to Link16, to numerous new cool stuff. So just maybe it is somewhere on a list (mind) when time comes, in a pack of new features largely representing closer this block capabilities as a whole.

But having this feature as optional on an external application extracting data, I don’t see why not from now, not that difficult I presume.

JMHO

In rl life, and from rl local experience, an armed choppa is a deadly piece of hardware even for the best fighter, if the fighter pilot decides to engage it close (IR missiles or cannon) and this pilot is not specially trained. We had dozens cases of AH-64A/D successfully validated cannon shots during trainings on approaching or egressing Vipers after their (unsuccessful) close attack runs. So we now have special training schools and tactics in HAF, for both an attacking fighter and an defensive armed chopper, each one has its secrets and opportunities. But in general no aircraft would like to go towards a 30mm Apache cannon.

So, BMS -wise, maybe one day this would be a reality, I guess there are much higher items in priority…

I was waiting that to happen!! lol

I am not asking for something, just to leave here some beautiful schemes from our country. F-104G Tiger & Olympus.

Yes you can here it within the real cockpit, even when you are in the air and e.g. your wingman passes by you in full AB. Its very special low-freq bass sound, nothing we have now in-sim.

Just for reference, it will take exactly 25 minutes for a Viper equipped with LANTIRN pods and -65’s, from canopy close to take off roll. That time includes all known -here procedures, plus some extra like TFR BIT, FLIR BIT / Boresight, TGP BIT, -65 Boresight. I would expect a couple more minutes for L16 and secure comms.

For certain, the 20 minutes default ramp start period is just not enough to perform all the described above, but there is also lack of some of the above functionalities atm.

Beautiful!!

to do: pilot figure (when I have time)

Yea but you also need to 3d-model a Corvette or Mustang chase-car behind this monster when taxing on the ground!

@radium Just beauties my friend! Happy new year, full of health and all the best!!

If the model is the HanHas LV5 mod from his site, then you need to use his also included in the package FM/AFM.

I believe something is wrong with your FM/AFM files/values… Maybe try to paste them over?

@nil said in Rampstart and canopy:

@rouge1512 In the real world the engine will suck everything from the cockpit that’s not firmly secured, so the safest procedure would be to close the canopy before engine is started. It will of course never happen in BMS that something would be sucked into the engine.

However, we’ve witnessed some cases were the canopy was raised during taxi for particular (demo) reasons. Of course everything should be tight and clean in the cockpit area, and mostly this is allowed with idle throttle. Advancing the throttle just to start taxing increases chances something loose might be sucked into the beasts mouth.
