Thanks for the feedback guys,
Is there any indication that the speed is different for F-16blk52?
I get this as a reason to set the speed to 350 kt
Thx and happy flying

Or give tribute to BMS team. Korea BEM Vol5 in your doc folder, search, “overhead”.
Which is one of the sources for 300 kts
Hi Revolpathon,
Thank you for the answer. Interesting but a bit off topic
hey Snowman.
did a bit of googling and essentially what i found out is that there is no set speed.
you might’ve seen this one already but here it’s flown very aggressively but with a starting speed of 315 kts at 1660 agl (i did notice his radar altimeter kept working at that bank angle… naise)
I have seen this. Speed is ~309 on initial and of course thats ~300 so an argument for 300 kts as a guideline as i see it?
https://www.f-16.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13328 here the 2nd to last post is the most informative but it concerns tactical overheads and not normal overheads.
Interesting, but not the question. Tactical arrivals are completly different subject.
https://man.fas.org/dod-101/sys/ac/docs/11-F16V3.pdf pages 20-22 are an interesting read. but again don’t give exact numbers, just a bracket to fly in. and it’s a document from 1995 so old procedures.
https://www.bits.de/NRANEU/others/END-Archive/afi11-2f-16v3.pdf this one is from 1999 and has conflicting information with the previous one on where the break should be initiated. no set speeds given, but it does give specific points on where the jet should be on short final.
Yes interesting but no speeds which is the question.
i think real life there’s a lot more leeway in how the overhead is flown compared to how we fly it in the sim, as long as certain parameters are met as described in the above 2 documents.
I think in the sim you should also have more leeway, but if we write a procedure to teach from it should have some basis in RL or logic (hopefully both).
Thats why we use 300 knots traditionally since multiple sources can be found that support that. I have not found any for other speeds so i am trying to find them
Hi all,
For years we have been using 300 kts speed (cas) for the initial fase of the overhead break.
I heard that this speed is 350 kts for other types of F-16s from somebody.
I was wondering if that has any basis in Real Life?
So do all F-16 variants fly 300 kts in the overhead break or does that vary?
Thanks for your input.
Edit: sources of different speeds would be appreciated
Hi guys,
I just made my first flight in 4.35
I am using the BMS cockpit builder keyfile since i have a full cockpit.
i noticed that some keycombinations have extra functions:
CTRL ALT ENTER switches UI to fullscreen / small screen.
in the pit this results in loss of my screen for a 2 seconds.
ALT backspace combination will result in a title bar on the UI screen.
-> is this a BMS command combination or windows ?
-> how do i disable it since i use the combinations in my pit for other functions.
greetings Snowman.

Great video!
A bit off topic: i notice the Gear bracket is not shown in the HUD?
Happy newyear!
Snowman
Are you in NAV mastermode? (Bottom left in hud NAV)
Good to hear it. To correct you on a little point: the video is not made by me ( i would love to be able to create this kind of quality )
Extra info: keep in mind the F-16 landings are of a different technique compared to for example a cessna.
Enjoy!
Snowman
Edit: see the post of Dee-jay. The papi is not that important, but the glideslope is. If you aim for the area around the touchdownpoint, with the correct glideslope, you will get two white two red. If you aim for the threshhold you will get four (three) red. This in itself is not an issue.
Hi guys,
I did not read the whole thread (so apologies if it reverts a bit) but my squdronmate made a great video with (i think) very nice diagrams on how tot land the F-16.
It is in Dutch, but the diagrams are selfexplanatory i imagine
I hope it helps all beginners tot master the landing safely
Edit: In my experience of you master your approach, the ILS becomes a lot easier to do
Hi guys,
I am an avid YAME user to power my gauges and MFDs.
Is YAME going to be 4.34 compatible?
hi guys,
i was looking to reduce the hiss on the IVC comms, so i can understand people better.
for this i think i want to change the IVC client config file.
i opened this with a text editor and saw the line posted:
there is no chapter 14.5
so if people have a suggestion on the values-ranges i can employ please let me know.
Of course i will also start experimenting
greetings Snowman
In -1 page 151
text reads: With the C&I switch in C&I all IFF settings are changed through the UFC (Up Front Controller) pages.
should that not be: With the C&I switch in UFC all IFF settings are changed through the UFC (Up Front Controller) pages.
?
hope it helps
greetings Snowman

Hi Blu3wolf,
I agree with what you are writing. I am fully aware of the fact that if you switch engine feed off you will experience a flameout at any fuelstate when pushing neg G. My post was meant as a suggestion for the OP to check.
Because my experience is that in order to help someone it usually pays off to do these checks. (It solves 80% of the cases). The flameout could e.g. also be a simple coincidence in the timing, resulting in more ore less the same fuelstate.
And to be clear: i did not suggest the check because i thought the OP had absolutely no understanding of the fuel system, but because we are humans
Anyway: lesson learned for me (Just not on the topic at hand, but more about human nature)
I will enjoy the cool additions of this update
Greetings Snowman
It surprises me to note the tendency of some people to show how much they think they know while disrespecting other people that are trying to help. If some common manners would be used it would make this forum a less toxic place.
Apologies for derailing this topic for a bit.
/Rant off

Another failure to understand how the res tanks feed. If you go to engine feed off and go inverted or negative G you are removing most, if not all, of the systems ability to feed the engines. That you should be able to duplicate at any fuel load and would be the normal response to an abnormal input.
Or from BMS1F-16CM-1 Page 123 in reference to the engine feed knob.
“With the knob in OFF none of the pumps work and fuel transfer occurs only via gravity and siphoning action. During heavy manoeuvring or negative G the engine may flame out.”
And a failure tot Read the post correctly. But thanks for the use of more words to say the same thing
