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

… 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.
@Falcas Just wanted to say what a great app is MC, i use it a lot.
and thanks for your hard work for updating it regularly.
Keep up the good work
When in contact with AWACS, he states the J-20 as “blurry/unrecognized sound”.
Hope it will be fixed in U1
@Sharpe happend to me several times

@Snake122 said in #2/#3/#4 - no 2nd AAR in same mission:
did # 2-4 try “Back in Pre-Contact Position” call on the second refuel?
No.
They stay on package formation, make no attempt to contact the tanker.
Normally on the 1st AAR it goes like this :
On the 2ns AAR attemp (later on the mission, after 1hour & more) :
When i finish my 2nd AAR, i say i am done and the tanker immediately disengage its boom and go up from FL220 to FL240.
@MaxWaldorf said in #2/#3/#4 - no 2nd AAR in same mission:
Did you declare that you’re done refueling?
yes.
again, the problem is with the 2nd AAR.
This i noticed in all versions of BMS :
1st time i take my package to make AAR, all is fine.
After we finished the AAR we continue with our mission.
When i’m taking my package to do 2nd AAR, all (#2,3,4) stay on formation and do nothing after i finished refueling.
More to this, after i finished refueling, the tanker close the boom and go up to its normal cruising altitude. So even the tanker not “sees” my other package members.
Tried to give the new order in 4.37 :
They ignore and not making any effort to make the 2nd AAR.
Is there a way to force the to make more then one AAR ?
@Magic49th said in [4.37 KTO] enemy air-to-air missiles destroy targets on the ground:
Hi,
i don’t think there’s something wrong with this.
The R-73 and R-40T are both IR seeker missiles.
So as long as your plane is hotter than the surrounding, those missile can lock on to you, even on the ground.cheers

Never happened in previous versions of BMS, and never heard of others talk about this thing, ever.
So something is changed in 4.37, i don’t know if this was done intentionally . . .
@DUSTOFF17 said in [4.37 KTO] enemy air-to-air missiles destroy targets on the ground:
Do you have a campaign save file of the mission you flew?
No save file.
On my next missions i wil save it and also will make ACMI file so if it will happened again i could check it after.
On my last mission i landed at GIMPO. While i was taxing to the parking area i saw lot of explosions around the base. It was strange . . .
Suddenly i was exploded, debriefing stated that i was hit by AA missiles shot at me.
So i guess all the other explosions were parking aircraft on the base.
Is that something that should be fixed ?
