Something tells me that, if we’re lucky enough, there might be also a F-4AUP cockpit in the future… After all, there should be some avionics commonality with the F-16 as far as I know…

RE: Tu-204R
Thank you Sniper !
Today WIP !

Engines are there, flaps, ailerons, everything is fully build.
I also made engines, and reverses.
I still need to make wing pods, and gears.
Edit : damn… I forget to rename it to Tu-214 !
Cheers !
Radium
You’re welcome Radium! Also, thank you for your great work!

RE: Tu-204R
The Tu-204 is the base aircraft. The Tu-214 is essentially a Tu-204-200 built by another factory with some modifications, including higher gross weight and some extra fuel tanks. Because of this, it has been chosen as the base for the special missions variants, including the Tu-214R that Radium is creating, the Tu-214ON (Open Skies missions), Tu-214PU (airborne command post), Tu-214SR (communications relay). The only Tu-204 operated by the Russian government should be the Tu-204-300 used for VIP flights.

RE: BMS 4.34 screenshots
Amazing, finally some love for the AMX, it will be great to have it for the Balkan theater. Do you know if he will release the model here in the forum or if it will be part of one of the next BMS updates?

RE: JanHas Models & Skin Thread -Compatible with 4.36
Hi all! The EGBU-50 models are ready… (GBU-10B &G alternative). I’m not that happy about the poly count but it has to do for now. You can download it here https://www.janhas.net/Files/EGBU-50_%5Ba_GBU-10B-G_alternative%5D.zip I will add it to the ALW package in a few days too.

https://www.janhas.net/Files/Image/Large_images/EGBU-50_B_Pen3.jpgThat’s great Jan! I was trying to do one with LODEditor from the stock model but I wasn’t able to do it. Are you also planning to create the smaller EGBU-49?

RE: Eurofighter Typhoon
Amazing, great job Manos!! I can’t wait to fly the new Typhoon in BMS!

RE: Eurofighter Typhoon
Give a look here, maybe you can find something useful. These links are for some close-up photos and walkarounds I used for reference for a scale model.

RE: Eurofighter Typhoon
Ok, this time should work. I think there’s no need to turn the slots, their angle seems correct, lowering them should be enough to solve the problem.

RE: Eurofighter Typhoon
hmmmm .something isn’t right here… any suggestions?
It could be due to the missile position on the rail, it looks a bit too high and to the left, but maybe it’s only the angle of the screenshot. BTW, the real Typhoon has slots in the rails where the missile’s fins are tucked when mounted. Maybe if you have the position of those slots in the data you used to build the model it could help you to check the correct position, I highlighted them in the red circles:
Edit: for some reason the image is not showing, if you click on the link it will work.

RE: JanHas Models & Skin Thread -Compatible with 4.36
HAF Block 52 Peace Xenia 4 is up now too

RE: JanHas Models & Skin Thread -Compatible with 4.36
Polish, Egyptian and Moroccan F-16s are up
@Jan If you have some spare time, could you please add a CATM-9X skin to the ALW pack someday?

RE: F/E/A-18E/F
AFAIK Super Bug is the nickname used when the Super Hornet started serving in the US Navy, now the pilots are referring to her as Rhino

RE: Eurofighter Typhoon
Yes no IRST and LWR. The latter is also true for other operators except for British and Saudi aircraft. These technologies aren’t actuallycsimulated in BMS anyway. IRST exists as a sensor for AI controlled A/C only, though the LANTIRN FLIR capability could be used to emulate an equivalent capability, as could the Sniper’s AA target tracking. There are ofcourse a couple of other limitations irrespective of the tuning options. I’m excited to see what future BMS iterations may introduce in this respect, considering the already existing avionics options and RWR in particular which already exist in 4.33.
Ideally you have basic system functions which could be tweaked, similar to the current radar, RWR and other functions including checking/un-checking of particular options. But that’s just me dreaming.������
Italian aircrafts have the LWR too, it’s part of the Praetorian DASS (Defensive Aid Sub-System) developed in Italy and adopted by all the operators except Germany (they chose to develop their own system) and Spain (they left because of the costs). The Pirate IRST is used by all operators starting from Tranche 2 - Block 5 aircrafts, Germany is the only nation that doesn’t use it.

RE: Eurofighter Typhoon
That should be EF-2000 IPA-7 (Instrumented Production Aircraft - 7) belonging to EADS Manching, a test aircraft. As far as I know, Luftwaffe is not using the Pirate IRST, the only planes using it are the one in the photo and another twin-seater jet.

RE: Eurofighter Typhoon
Any details on the pylons will be awesome! Meaning pictures or schematics! Thanks in advance!
I found some pictures of the pylons here http://www.b-domke.de/AviationImages/Typhoon.html#EF2000T_Lw and here https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/75757-eurofighter-typhoon-centreline-weapons-pylon/.

RE: T-38C
That’s a fantastic surprise! It would be awesome if one day we could replicate in BMS initial flight training in the T-6, Introduction to Fighter Fundamentals in the T-38 and then F-16 B-Course, just like real US F-16 pilots.

RE: Damage from inert GBUs?
Inert bombs are usually filled with concrete, if the angle of release is too low the bomb can even bounce when it hits the ground, but with the right release angle the kinetic energy accumulated during the fall do a lot of damage. There are rumors that, because of this reasons, during Operation Unified Protector in Lybia US jets used also inert bombs to reduce collateral damage in densely populated areas…
