I wish . . . that the CANOPY JETTISON will be functional on the next updates/versions.
On my last mission i did a flameout landing, landing gears collapsed, i was too slow and driftted to the side of the runway.
Couldn’t open the canopy and wished i could use the CANOPY JETTISON . . .
I heard that in DEAGU city is the best pizza place in S.KOREA, so i decided to drive my jet and try their pepperoni pizza.
Down the road i tried to use the bridges to pass over rivers, but all of them look like they are not “blended” to the ground, so my F-16 turned into a big ball of fire . . .
are all bridges behave like that, only vehicles can pass them but not aircraft ?
Not very serious subject but it is interest me why bridges configured like that.
Playing with a TE i made to explore different types of aircrafts that use AAR. I will update this subject from time to time.
Several types has graphics issues (connection point) that need to be fixed by the DEV team.
Things i found while making the tests :
Each model got its own AAR altitude/speed, so the tanker is changing its alt/speed according to the next aircraft in line.
Kc-10 gives “basket fuel service” only to one aircraft at a time . . . i don’t know if in RL tanker can refuel 2 at the same time . . .
Some models can do the initial connection during the tanker turnning phase and some don’t. All those that made the connection while tanker is flying straight, keep the connection later when tanker turns.
Few models, after they make a successful AAR, get to some distance from tanker and after few minutes ask to refuel again, this time a very short AAR (they almost have max fuel from previous AAR).
Enjoy 
Thank you BMS team for keeping this sim alive and updated
(BMS updated to 4.36U2)
Next update : the F’s (Part 3) - F-16A & F-16B
F-16A-15, F-16-15 IAF, F-16AM(BAC, RDAF, RJAF, RNAF, RNoAF), F-16B, F-16B IAF - all AAR ok
(BMS 4.36U3)
Next update :
HARRIER GR.3, JAGUAR A, JAGUAR GR.3 RAF, KC-10, KC-130H, KC-135E, KC-135R, KDC-10 - All AAR ok.
HARRIER GR.3 - Not sure, but this model should AAR using probe-and-drogue. Here it is done by flying boom (RED CIRCLE in the picture).
JA-37 VIGGEN & MB-339 do not have AAR capabilities, as in RL.
This BMS DEV team is the BEST !!!
Doing all this work for free and at their own time . . . respect to this dudes.
They keep this great simulator alive for such a long time and always listen to the community.
Thank you !!!
Next update : the F’s (Part 1)
F104C, F-111E, F-111F, F-117, F-14A, F-14A AGR, F-14B,F-14D - all AAR ok
(F-104DJ, F-104G, F-104J - don’t have AAR capability)
@LorikEolmin said in #2/#3/#4 - no 2nd AAR in same mission:
It looks like this older report
https://forum.falcon-bms.com/post/336454
… where AI can’t do the extra step humans can bring with Y2.
Ok, 2 thing i will check next mission :
Plus, i will have 2 tankers on the air on my next mission, maybe i will try 1st AAR at tanker #1 and 2nd AAR on tanker #2.
(BMS 4.36U2)
Next update : the F’s (Part 5) - F-16C&D Blocks 40-50
(+ checking again the “problematic” F-16C-32 ROKAF from previous update)
F-16C-40 EAF, F-16C-40 IAF, F-16CM-40, F-16CM-42,F-16DG-40 IAF, F-16DM-40, F-16C-50 HAF, F-16CM-50 - all AAR ok
F-16DG-40 IAF - the boom is too deep . . .
F-16C-32 ROKAF - quote from previous update -
“for some reason the aircraft never reached the refueling area and no communication between him and the tanker. I will check it again and report.”
So, i checked it again. This model made 1st AAR with no problem.
After he finished the AAR he got for some distance and after 1min he ask the tanker to refuel again !!!.
The 2nd AAR lasted for 1-2sec and then he disconnected and go out of there.
So this model seems to have chronic problematic behavior in AAR.

@regev
Aaaah. Mate… that’s not bug, - it is a feature. In BMS , weather is
“moving” (since it was implemented so, … 4.3x… can’t remember)… but yeah.
Did not new that and actually it a great feature.
I now have to make several WX areas over the map and it will dynamically changed.
This sim is never stops to surprise me with its realism.
I continue to check the WX problem.
What i found that the area i edited in s.korea is moving constantly, it even goes to n. korea.
Original area position :
Now system move it as time passes :
@white_fang said in Weather Commander updates:
@regev
strange… Do try again and watch more closely (can use time compression)…
will try again and see what happens.
@CheckPoint said in [4.37] J-20 is missing from AWACS vocabulary:
J-20 is present in KTO Campaigns
I added the J-20 & Su-24 using MC (KTO).
And i hear the “key mike” (twice . . .).
So now, when i hear this sound, i run away . . . and run fasstttttt
Also su-24 . . . AWACS do not say its type.
I used WC to edit the FMAP file of my mission.
During the start of the mission i noticed the weather i configured.
About an hour later i came back to the same area and weather was clear, not as supposed to be.
After the mission i looked at the FMAP file and it was empty (all tabs).
“maps auto update” is unchecked in setup.
What am i missing here ?
Any help will be appreciated
Is there a way to see the mission available tankers TACAN channels before the mission starts ?
Sometimes, during the mission, when i ask AWACS for the tanker details, i can not recognized the TACAN channel he states.
So i want to write it down before the mission starts.
@jayb said in [4.37] Hook landing - not working ?:
@regev noted issues at Suwon as well (I have not tried Suwon myself).>
I will check eventually all bases that have cables and report here for DEV team use in the future updates.
