Is that a high res version of a cockpit? just seems very clear.
Good vid and good flying!

Luckily, I bought a proper HOTAS before I got into BMS. also struggled like you so what I did was downloaded a joystick configuration from here, and printed off the button mappings. While in flight, I would pause, alt n tab out, check out you tube vid, go back into game, check joystick config print out. few weeks of this and I was able to just figure out the rest for myself.
I’d always recommend Krause video’s for learning how to fly / shoot, but, you really need your joystick mapped properly first and know what each button does
Although their TS server has changed, cant see a BMS section any more, they may have had a crash and had to restart from scratch.
3 days ago or so I flew a mission on there. Its still up and running.
Because your munitions did not destroy it, it damaged it. If it then sinks 10 minutes later, coding would state it destroyed itself. Im only presuming. Bit like in Arma, you shoot a plane down, you don’t get the kill, as it killed itself by crashing while on fire into the ground.

Ive no real experience in this, but Ive noticed when I hit a ship, on results page it only states “damaged” not destroyed. But recon reveals that ship has disappeared anyway. As others states, I think it will eventually sink. I cant recall which ship this was, but it was a single 65G
Ive had good feedback from this thread people PM me and Im making contacts so I thank you all for that.
No point idling on the FO server, as I don’t have rights to talk, or txt chat etc… I will wait until a new war starts, so I can register and then get talk rights on the server for now, Im able to catch the odd game on the VG server. Big thanks to all who responded
you could try hanging around the falcon online Teamspeak server as you will find people to fly with there. Id be more than willing to fly with you for instance
Thanks! Still not sure how to go about getting permission to talk on that server, as registration for wars is closed. I guess falcon online and VG server’s are the most popular option? no other Im missing?
Hi Chaps,
Im seeking some online play now my skills are up to it. VG server seems always empty, falcon online subscriptions all closed but the red flag (which doesn’t appeal to me). So my question is, are there any other servers out there I can participate in, or any squads who allow guests?
(I cannot commit to a V Squad just yet until Oct as currently my attendance would be here and there).
Eager to fly along side someone. Ive completed around 3 offline campaigns now, so just a stop above a total noob
Been trying this theatre for past few weeks and struggling (in SA / Offline mode). AI flights don’t really schedule themselves, only the flights I schedule, day 3 no helicopter, f-15’s etc… in sight… Occasionally once per 5 hours a couple A-10 make an appearance. Also, 4 F-16’s v 2 migs always loose, seems my side looses every fight it is presented with. Unsure if its related but when I look into mission commander most of my bases have the “require repair” checked, even bases far back that have never seen action. Unsure if I’m doing something wrong or if its goosed?
Also with 300 - 400 ground units rush (over my ground units) within two days straight to my city, and every AI flight I send at them do not hit any targets. Maybe my campaign is foxtrot uniform. Forced to give it up, with much regret as I love this theatre and all the work that has gone into it.
I was getting frustrated about the AI turning back due to bingo not too far from a tanker. After speaking to someone in the know, they mentioned that is correct behaviour for RL pilots too. Because what would happen if you go past bingo to get to tanker, and the tanker has a malfunction? Hence why US always chooses paths for their long flights where there are alternative landing plates nearby, as tanker malfunction does happen.
So, the answer is, plan to perform Air refuelling before you hit bingo.
Im not saying this is gospel, but how I believe it to be.
in next update… more simulation. If you get shot down, hardcode it to fry your motherboard.
Thank you Icarus, that did the trick. easy when you know how (and when you got the courage to mess with file structure).
Korbi, no its the 1.1.5, the Balkans theatre made by Falcon Online, force on force. The v3 one doesn’t agree with me, and keeps freezing up.
While I have people’s attention, are there any high res cockpits out there proven to work? I know everyone is on a drive to maximise FPS, but I got plenty of them.
Hi Guys, I was wondering if anyone could help me.
Ive been playing Balkans 1.1.5 SA version, and I’ve fallen in love with the sound (the base AB’s) and the pit. Ive managed to find a pit mod, but, where can I get that sound pack? or can I maybe just copy some files from one theatre to another?
want it, need it, must have it, cant stand playing any other theatre without that F-16 engine sound
As long as its just not me Thanks Agalnov. My path is clear
Thanks Angalnov, I just needed that direction. It all makes sense now, use the TGP rather than weapon camera (AGM 65’s) etc… use recon to educate myself what each unit looks like. Ive put this into practice with good effect.
Other issue : Any flight that leaves my base gets destroyed, even 4 flight sweep within friendly territory, friendly AI seems a little dumbed down, and enemy ground forces seem to plow through the lines. Is it meant to be biast towards the reds so much? I always return with no weapons on my pylons but loosing the war fast.
Any tips on ID’ing and putting a markpoint on the SA’11’s (radar’s) rather than its support vehicles in the column ? I struggle with visual from 20 miles out.
