Not “my first Sony” but my first F-16 simulator game. Loooong time ago on the Atari 1040ST.

RE: Central Europe Theater
@JOKER_duke said in Central Europe Theater:
Making cold war style campaigns base on Central Europe Theater is my longtime dream.
My dream will come true in bms 4.38…
I hope so. I have been waiting forever for this theatre. For me having only this one would be enough!

RE: Where to find Balkans for BMS 4.33?
@Aragorn I managed to find the file I needed. Installed and works fine.
To cure your curiosity, I’ll tell you why I needed this file. I have built an entire cockpit for a F-16 MLU version. All switches, knobs, displays etc. In fact I am still building and improving this cockpit. After making some adjustments to my cockpit, I wanted to test some things. Everything works fine with BMS 4.33, F4toSerial and Yame64, which is kind of my baseline/zero version. But I needed to re-install some things and wanted to try Balkans but must have misplaced the file and could not find the file with that specific version of the Balkans theater anymore.
Anyway, despite all the “help” over here, the wall is painted red now.

RE: Cougar TQS with TM HOTAS magnetic base?
The setup you describe is what I use. I also do not have a TUSBA as I found this rather expensive. My solution was to use an Arduino. The wires coming from the throttle pcb are connected to an inexpensive Arduino (Pro Micro). On this Arduino I used the (free) MMJoy2 software. The only thing I changed on my throttle was to replace the old potmeter with a new Hall sensor. Works like a charm.

A full dinamic campaign on EUROPE Theater 128x128!
That would be Santa and birthday together!!!

RE: Santa's wishlist for BMS
My biggest wish for the next few BMS updates would be NO new features. Just for the next two updates or so, no new features and certainly no work on other aircraft. Just focus on perfecting the original F-16.
Also put the effort in reworking the GUI. Why can’t we have a decent GUI that works with modern monitors instead of the 1980 style GUI?
Along with the GUI a really good interface for assigning joystick, throttle, rudder and all switches. One that makes it easy to assign everything. And keeps all settings! I know there are other tools to do this. But why not build it into the simulator in the first place?
Once that all works flawless, then direct attention to other features.

RE: Ram ?
One thing you have to think of is not very well known. When using a motherboard with DDR5 memory the speed of the memory is reduced when you use 4 sticks instead of just 2 sticks. Most motherboards have 4 slots and can have 4 sticks but the speed depends on the lanes used.
Normally you would try to buy the fastest RAM module you are willing to pay for. So if you buy lets say two 16GB sticks with 6000 MT/s and use them, your motherboard will reach that speed. But if you buy two more later and use all four slots, your memory speed will likely drop to about 4000MT/s or less because of the lanes architecture.
When I built a new pc last december, I too wanted to start with 2x16GB and upgrade later when needed. I had my eyes on 6400MT/s memory. Then doing research I learned about this and decided to only use 2 out of the 4 slots, maintaining the high speed. I went for 2x32GB 6400MT/s memory with fast timings.

RE: Intel i7 14700K + nvidia 4070ti super 4K?
Just did a quick test to see the actual values. The values in the circles are the temperatures. The bars below show the utilization in % and MB.

RE: Intel i7 14700K + nvidia 4070ti super 4K?
Well, it is way overkill for BMS, I have a 14600 with 64GB RAM and a 4070 ti card. I have three 32"1440p screens (7680x1440 pixels) and 4 other small screens.
I always have AIDA64 on a separate screen to show the actual usage and temperatures. My pc is already overkill as I always see that both RAM and video memory are only partly used. 32 GB RAM and 8GB would be more than sufficient (DCS uses more of the memory). Also both the CPU and the GPU are under 100% utilization. BMS itself show a steady 165fps rate on the three main screens.
