@Cloud:
And now people are assuming/accusing him of something he was NOT inferring!?!??!?!?! WTH :rolleyes:
Same can be said on the other side as well. Just because DJ replied in a joking half serious manner, does not imply that the mindset of BMS is to ignore the situation. However the back and forth ends. Get back on topic, or I will hand out vacations and close the thread.
Thats not what he said. He said you need never touch the keystrokes file, and you should set everything in your joystick programming.
Which is true. You absolutely can program everything in your joystick programming software, as long as your joystick is complex enough to have additional software.
Which is of course a load of bunk.
Im not sure why you feel the need to demean someones opinion… Im certain there is a rule about that someplace…
You should set the keystrokes file to use directx presses, amd that is only going to work properly if your interface to the sim is a single, solitary cougar.
This is also a totally acceptable way of doing things. But it is also your opinion on if it is the best way or not.
Or you just follow my advice of a 20 years falcon simmer and developer and you never ever touch your keystroke in BMS
Notice he says that it is his advice… Decide how you want to do it, but lets not bash people for giving an opinion
True only in the case where your HOTAS is a Cougar (or WH/Cougar TQS combo). In MANY other common cases, it’s not a 1:1 hat/button match to the F16 HOTAS so you MUST create an alternate configuration to accommodate the F16 HOTAS functions.
I think you are taking what Mav said out of context. He is saying that everything on the F-16 HOTAS is already mapped as a function in the keyfile.
Moreover, I fear the rigourous treatment Raider254’s post and account received may severely hamper his first contact with the sim - he’s been posting several times to ask questions lately, and as long as I could notice, always respectfully. And although something was to be done about his post, this is the first thing that came to my mind.
But moderators know better than I how to deal with it.
Knowing how to deal with a situation better than anyone else has nothing to do with the situation here. There were posts which were removed that attacked a member in a very crude, un-warranted manner. As such he has no place in this community.
So lets say I obtain a Falcon 4.0 download from gog.com then install a BMS 4.33 server on a school LAN (only accessible on the school LAN).
Q1) What are the licensing issues I need to be aware of if any?
Q2) Can I install as many copies of BMS 4.33 on the LAN as I like from a single Falcon 4.0 download or CD?
Q3) Does it matter if the project is for recreation or academic use?
From a legal license standpoint, every computer with an installation of Falcon 4.0 / BMS would need a purchased copy of falcon 4.0.
Example being:
1 server
2 clients
=3 required copies of Falcon 4.0.
As it stands now, there is no difference between a academic, or recreational license. All installation instances need to be properly licensed to be legal.
Check the F-16 checklists starting on page 5/14
2. Boresight procedure is possible on the ground when GND JETT switch is placed in ENABLE position (an master arm set to SIM)
Its a known issue. Waiting for the updated version to be pushed public. It will take some time for all of the tools to be released.
From what I saw in the trailer the Hornet isn’t very realistic at all as far as the cockpit goes…for one, Hornets have always had a color moving map of some variation. No telling about the FM…and if the indexer bracket in the HUD is the same as the Viper, it’s backwards from the real thing and you’ll be learning to do CV approaches and landings in a most “unrealistic” fashion - compare it to the old Janes sim…that is still the most accurate one on the table as far as systems go. But it is old…and it’s FM is based on the F-15 and not accurate.
Doing an “accurate” F/A-18 is not a trivial undertaking…
Im not sure exactly where it says the F/A-18 is completely accurate. This is still an F-16 study sim. Some devs have put time into coding specific avionics such as the ALR-64, but its still an F-18 model with f-16 avionics.
Just watch the trailer twice and it’s still hard to wrap my head around all the new cool stuff…
Great work BMS Team!!!
Thank you!
And there are so many more features / additions that aren’t listed. So many changes in 4.33 that we could never list them all.
