I wish for more appreciation to the BMS dev team so that they can keep making the sim better.

RE: 4.37 killed the AMRAAM
It seems like the only thing this thread will ever agree on is that the AMRAAM and the Phoenix are both missiles.

RE: News from the frontline, 4.37.3 delayed (and explained)
@Seifer the shadow mapping optimization is worth the wait for me

RE: fog model inconsistency
I use this fog ‘feature’ to spot ground targets when they are otherwise completely invisible.

RE: 4.36 TODAY?
<p>@16th-ACCW-Android I for one am checking every day for the release at this point lol</p>

RE: check this out!!!!!
“I started with a HOTAS setup on the desk” Ah yes the gateway drug

RE: F16s are going to Ukraine. Any one keen for a Ukraine theater?
Maybe after the war ends.
Yeah

RE: [BMS Roadmap 4.37 U3] News from the BMS Team
@regev I’ll give you cudos to have taken the time and illustrated the entire BMS roadmap on MS Paint. Now I know what’s really going on behind the scenes. In fact, I think I can make an F16 simulator with that now. It will have link 16.

RE: Sooo... Ukraine
<p>@Foxtrot701 No politics, I’m trying to find a theater of operations that is relevant to current events for personal reasons. Last I checked Korea is still at war, people in Israel/Palestine are still dying, yet we have definitely those theaters for BMS?<br /><br />Edit: yeah I see how asking this question now can be seen as insensitive… I retract my question</p>

RE: Falcon BMS Korea Theater Airport Name Translated into Original Chinese Name
Origins of the names are interesting, and can seen as history that two cultures have in common with each other. Most South Koreans over the age of 40 can write Chinese characters. It’s part of the Korean heritage and I do not know any Korean person think less of their culture because of it. Does that give the peoples republic of China rights to claim Korea? No because other countries also speak and write Chinese. Singapore, for example. Singapore should by definition also have claim to Korea then shouldn’t them? Let’s give the OP the benefit of the doubt that they have no political agenda, and just trying to find the original meaning of the landmarks.

RE: Is BMS supposed to look like this?
@robmypro oh eww no not at all, you are supposed to set AF to 16x. Your graphics card can handle it. World of difference. You’re welcome!

RE: Maverick training mission 14 difficulties
<p>yes, it’s very hard due to the missile having trouble in fog and cloud (newly implemented). This I heard is a problem in real the Maverick, and forces BMS players to pay attention to the weather briefing when deciding on weapon loadout or even scrub a mission if atmospheric conditions are not favorable<br /></p>

RE: VR testing and findings
Thank you. After testing for another few hours, here are my optimal settings (low end machine, 4790k, 16 GB DDR3 with a 3060 Ti, Reverb G2):
Steam VR resolution set to 84%
Steam VR smooth motion on
WMR for Steam VR reprojection on
WMR for Steam VR graphics card resource optimization on
WMR for Steam VR force DirectX 11 onConfig file:
set g_bVRParallelRenderThread 1
set g_fVRResolution 1.3
set g_bEnvironmentMapping 0
set g_bWaterEnvironmentMapping 0
set g_bShadowMapping 1
set g_bVRNoPresent 1This set-up gets me pretty decent performance (airfield and in the air). jitter is kept to a minimum and the sim is enjoyable. My 2 Cents.

RE: Snowplow HOTAS issue.
@Stevie I find that snowplow mode works great on tgts of opportunity.

RE: Free CH Pro Joystick and CH Pro Throttle
Just received them. They are in great condition! Thank you again I’ll take good care of them!

RE: I love the BMS flight model
Reading through this thread is both fascinating and amusing. From an outsider looking in, it’s like Einstein arguing with Hawking, over the the 9th decimal of the cosmological constant, with the majority of us not aware of any difference between the two. I commend the efforts that both sides are striving to make BMS into the most realistic flight model.

RE: Small EOY update...
@chihirobelmo took a crash Google course on c++ just to reveal the hint, accidently created Falcon 5. Sorry will be busy for the next month playing this new creation.

RE: [VR] "My legs are small and my cockpit is tiny" fix
@Snake122 I have the reverb G2. With 110 percent scaling applied. My main concern is the apparent distance to the MFDs. Doesn’t seem like my arms would reach it even fully stretched. The pedals shouldn’t be that close to the pilot, it needs to be positioned further forward of the aircraft (deeper into the pit). The pilots model makes the MFDs look like they are just above the ankles. This is incorrect. If the pedals are deeper then the knees would go in more and below the MFDs.

RE: Not looking forward to the VR update
I’m very excited for VR implementation. Got a rift S that I’m waiting to upgrade to a quest 2 or reverb g2 just for BMS. Know there are plenty of folks sitting on the sidelines waiting for VR to come to BMS, as well. Now I can tell them, oh yes it has VR support! Icing on the cake is that all the optimizations would benefit track ir and monitor! Now you can choose which way you want to play! Wow!
