Welcome @NitroViper !

I’d like to reinforce what @Radium said, Modeling for BMS is not hard, and also it’s getting easier by the day thanks to our awesome devs.

For your first project for BMS Pick something that speaks to you, that you’d like to see in BMS, it may be something that is missing or also a legacy model that needs a revamp.
Post some updates on your work! people will keep you motivated here by good feedback!
If you have any questions you’re welcome to contact me on PM.

Looking forward to see what you’re gonna come up with!

@tsb247 I had the same problem. Make sure to bind the VR HMD RESET in your controls and press it when you enter the cockpit.
callback is SimVRHMDReset

Hello,

It might seem like I’ve abandoned this project, but after working on and off for a long time it is finally done. all models and texturing is done and tested

This is my first big project for BMS done. I hope it will serve us good.

Hangar LODs as was requesed here (poly info in link)

Cheers,

@radium Awesome! Looking forward to it!

@radium Amazing work! keep it up!

Hello!

Earlier this year I got the offer to work on a model for Ramon AFB for the Israel Theater by the developers.

I have made a different airbase model in the past but haven’t had the chance to complete it.

I decided to start working on Ramon AFB and complete it the whole way through for the community.

This is the model complete for the runways and taxiways.

I’ll be posting updates on my work here

Cheers,

Spearhead

@zap737 I remember I had a similar issue, try before pressing takeoff to click on the flight in the flights list and then click on your aircraft again. this happens where you’ll click some other flight on the 2d map or list and it would load that same aircraft’s flightplan instead of yours.

@radium Amazing work! keep it up!

Haven’t updated for a long while, been very busy at work

Last couple of days i had some time to put into optimizing and texturing the new HAS model.

hopefully soon when I have more time I will start testing the base ingame to make sure everything is working correctly

@Dee-Jay:

Many issues here …

Indeed, no pushback.
Other problem is that, you can limit the access to those shelter to a/c with a wing span equal or less than an F-16, but if you (or any theatre builder) add some other a/c type on the airbase (i.e. F-15, F-14, Su-33 …) much larger than F-16, if we set the PkPoint inside the shelter you will have to choose:

• Accept graphical issue of wing conflicting with walls.
• Accept to restrict those shelter to F-16 (and less) only but in that case, you have to have a lot of other place where wider a/c can spawn. If you don’t have those places, ATC will be messed up by a/c spawning in the wild.

… This is why on most airbases, when I do not have a lot of possible spawn-points that match with any kind of big fighters, I do not pout the PtPoint into shelters.

The model was made fully with BMS in mind. Being a simulator and anything can happen in it - including people spawning in planes that aren’t F-16s even though these are the only planes flying out of the base IRL,
I made the HAS model to comfortably fit aircraft as big as an F-15 and just barely fit an SU-33, and even if anyone were to spawn any bigger aircraft,
the airbase features a cargo/helicopter ramp that can house planes as big as an E-3/KC-135 so there’s plenty of room.

@Raptor:

@Spearhead very very nice! Will you also implement the height elevation difference in the tarmac area models as per real? (assuming it is possible to handle)

I wish! The only way to do that would be to raise the whole airfield and make a model for the ground around the runways. Even then I don’t know if the collision model will work correctly for taxiing up and down things.

The objects will just be above ground somewhat like the shelters in DCS with the ground texture on top

Of course. i’ll be using different LODs and the models are seperated to account for in-game use with as low of a polycount as I could manage.
the higher poly detail will only be shown when you are in the direct area around the model.
