Just coming back to BMS after a few year hiatus. I’m having trouble getting it to ‘bug’….is it ‘radar curser enable’ (that’s what i found in the manuals) or ‘insert’ on the keyboard? I’m trying that, but it won’t bug…while i’m having no trouble scrolling the curser around on the FCR (i’m usually in RWS). I’m running version 4.34. I’m also having trouble getting DMS down (to switch SOI) to work, too.
Thanks!

How do i 'bug/lock' a target on the FCR/CRM?

AMRAAM in 4.33 vs 4.32…are the B and C models different (besides the smoke)?
If I 'm not mistaken, in 4.32 both were exactly the same in actual performance (because both missiles are largely classified, so why code a bunch of fiction?)…is it the same with 4.33?

RE: Screen will freeze (for a second) every once in awhile…anyway to stop it?
So the problem was resolved (or so it seems…I tried many things, but I think this was the one) via updating the latest AMD driver for my card…sorry to waste everyone’s time lol. I’m now up to 30 FPS again (like I used to with 4.32) and no more freezes!
That said, I’ve been running the program like CRAZY the last two days, and this mod is AWESOME! 4.32 was great…this is spectacular! So glad to be running Falcon again!

RE: Screen will freeze (for a second) every once in awhile…anyway to stop it?
What FPS do you get generally? Is it smooth aside from a random, 1s pause? Is there anything running in the background that could be sapping resources unnecessarily?
Well, I just recently re-installed Falcon (I used to run 4.32 a lot about a year ago, but my old rig died and I haven’t flown since the last few days)…I used to get about 30 FPS on my old rig (which was older/slower), but i’m getting about 25 now (which is fine…I just want to stop the freezing), and ya it’s fairly smooth (but not quite as smooth as 4.32 was, obviously). I’ll get a drop to around 20 FPS when I have the TGP up on an MFD.
I’m thinking it’s the trees (specifically loading all the trees) that’s the main problem…4.32 had FAR less trees (and like I said, I thought i’d clicked an option that removed the trees, since they’re just useless background, when I ran 4.32). Anyone know a way I can remove the trees?

RE: What's the best way to boost FPS using the 'advanced' graphics settings?
You’re welcome… What are your rig specs?
I’m not sure if this is what you’re looking for, but: Windows 10 64 bit, AMD A8-7410 APU, 2.20 Ghz (it’s a Hewlitt-Packard)

I never had this problem when I was running 4.32.
4.33 has a lot more trees and buildings and whatnot (if i’m not mistaken, I think I somehow turned the trees off in 4.32?), could that be the problem?
I’ve just got an old/slow AMD R5 (with 8 gigs of RAM)…i’m mostly a consul gamer (EXCEPT for Falcon!).

It’s in his sig, between his system specs and the 13 sigs he has!!!

Sweet, thanks!

RE: What's the best way to boost FPS using the 'advanced' graphics settings?
and I seem to have gotten my FPS up to around 25 now (thanks to editing the config, THANKS sebastianthiago…and also lowering the screen resolution in the graphics settings)…another problem i’m having is the screen/program/game will freeze for a second, every so often. Not a huge deal, but one second can mean a huge difference in an engagement.
Anyone know what I could do to stop said ‘freeze’?

RE: What's the best way to boost FPS using the 'advanced' graphics settings?
and there is a specific section for performance in the hotlist.
I tried looking for the hotlist (and I used the advanced search tool) but I couldn’t find it?

Turning down object density will result in porked mission results (Kills/Dammages)\
Lots of damaged but no kills on ground targets. And there are other problems I cant remember.
oh, ok…thanks for the heads up!

@Cloud:
Yeah, AF and Mipmapping.
Don’t know what you have setup on your GPU though, it may have AF on some setting, which you could shut down.
I’m no expert in it either, but I do know the basics.
One of the video Guru’s around should chime in at some point.

Well thanks for chiming in, anyway! I’ve been doing some research (the last hour or so) and I think I should start with disabling ‘linear mipmap flitering’…then try disabling just straight ‘mipmapping’, and after that ‘anisotropic filtering’.
Hopefully, ONE of those (or a combination of all three) should do the trick! I’ll let everyone know (what I find)!

RE: What's the best way to boost FPS using the 'advanced' graphics settings?
Ya, already turned off shaders, and Multisampling is off, and object density AND detail is already down to min….I don’t actually know what the advanced settings are OR do (lol I’m not that ‘advanced’, I guess)…could turning any of them off help FPS?

What's the best way to boost FPS using the 'advanced' graphics settings?
I’ve already turned everything down in the ‘non-advanced’ graphic settings…is there any of the five advanced settings I should turn off? I have an AMD R5 graphics card (weak/old, I know) with 8 gig of RAM. I’m getting about 20 FPS now…it’s OK, but I was getting around 30 when I was running 4.32.

Flight models in 4.33…are any as hifi as the F16? Or did is it still the 'top dog'?
I’m just in the midst of installing 4.33 (though I had 4.32 for years…but haven’t run it in almost a year), so i’m wondering if it’s worth checking out other planes.
Also, how about clickable (and authentic) 3d cockpits? How many planes have them?
That’s one thing I loved about the old SP4 mod…it had a great authentic and clickable A-10 cockpit (mind you, it was only 2d…but so was the f16 cockpit).

RE: Bought Falcon 4.0 from Steam, do i have to install it before adding BMS?
“once installed fire it up to see how far it’s come” - ya, i’m actually a long time ‘falcon 4 mod enthusiast’ and have been running it since the days of SP4.
My old computer died almost a year ago, and I somehow lost my old copy of Falcon 4 in a move, so I haven’t been running it for awhile (I think the last install I was using was 4.32 update 4?)…looking forward to the new 4.33!

Or is there a way to get BMS to think I have an actual Falcon CD (without installing it)?

RE: All F-16 documentary and video related here!!!!
To each his own I guess. :neutral: I wonder why people feel the need to underlay a soundtrack at all, as if the moving pictures weren’t exciting enough?
Uwe
I guess man. TBH i’m not really an Awolnation fan, but that’s a great tune in my opinion…what’s not to like? Great fat/huge drum sound…soulful vocals (i actually thought he was black til i saw the video)…even some dynamic vocal melody and harmony at the end (“sail with me into the niiighhht”…i’m not surprised it was a minor hit, it had all the calling cards of a hit (this is coming from a dude who’s favorites include Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath and Jimi Hendrix). Anyway, sorry for harping on music for some F-16 vid, but it’s pretty cool if you give it a chance lol.

Nice Imagery, horrible soundtrack
thanks for sharing!
Uwe
Horrible soundtrack? Sail by Awolnation? Tune rocks dude, wtf are you talking about? It’s much better than the techno dance crap i usually hear on most jet fighter promo vids.

RE: Using guided or unguided bombs on SEAD strike missions?
I’d add, it’s not realistic to have HARMs as well as some other bombs on a loadout (standard loadout is always with the 370 gal tanks).
