RE: Happy 25th Birthday Falcon 4.0! 1998-2023+
I will probably repeat myself as I think I wrote it already before…
For me it all started with Falcon. But not that Falcon. No, it was
on C-64. I was 6, maybe 7 years old and I was sold to the idea of flying and fighting. Around that time my parents brought me to some local ‘airshow’ (imagine ‘airshow’ in just not communist Poland organized at the level of municipality… but hey, there was PZL Wilga and my parents wanted to show me how it flies. The first time I was how trees and building and fields became smaller and smaller… it was magic!Falcon Patrol was not the only “sim” on my C-64. There was very important multiplayer combat simulator called
. I played it with my Dad. Gosh, I am not able to count how many of our dogfights ended in the midair collision!:-)Fast forward, it is early April of 1999. I did not have a PC at that time, but I was already begging my parents for months. Coming back from school I bought Gambler (04/99). It had few pages dedicated to Falcon 4.0 tips & tricks.
OH-MY-FUCKIN’…!
I was instantly sold to its muddy-greeny GFX! I knew it was this! But as you remember I did not have a PC yet 14 months later I came to EMPiK and saw big box with Falcon 4.0 for 99 PLN. I bought it immediately. I was 15 years old and its 600+ pages long manual was overwhelming, but I read it as a finest lecture! I still remember how long I need to ask my parents to let me download 1.08us which, if I remember correctly, was 18MB big and it took all night to get it on my
.Then it was eFalcon. It was SP4. It was Red Viper. Cockpits from Aeyes. FreeFalcon… OpenFalcon! Then silence…
…but then one collegue from my ArmA2 squad told me “hey, have you heard, some guys are working on Falcon and it is going be huge!”
I was like… “yeah, right…”.
Few days later I learn about the release of 4.32. Woah, it was like… it wasn’t like mod. It was like full blown AAA combat flight simulator! My collegue was right. Those guys made something HUGE. They has taken everything what made Falcon - Falcon - and brought it to another level! 4.33 was even bigger. 4.34 killed my interest in chatting with Jester, if you know what mean. Hell, trailer for 4.34 still gives me chills!
But then I learnt about new terrain and MSFS happened and my Cougar got broken… long story short… I skipped 4.35. Then 4.36. I was seeing BMS as too focused on Viper avionics. “New HTS and HARM improvements”. I was like “…what?”. Imagine that to this day I probably never released a single JSOW. Never fired HARM in other way that using HTS pod. JTAC? OK, it sounds cool, but looks freakin confusing, pass …
Fast forward to 2023. The year of the Eagle!
I have learnt that full fidelity F-15C has been added. Oh my! My dream came true! I have installed 4.37, then U1, U2 and U3 and instantly realised I need a proper controls. In three weeks I have designed and printed F-15 grips for old Suncom SFS base and today I am going to finish F-15 stick, also heavily modded Suncom Talon. Three weeks! You know when I started this project, but I was unable to finish it due to lack of inspiration? January of 2018. That says something. By the way, last week I have also fixed my Cougar HOTAS and ICP.
I am so extremally glad that Falcon BMS, while not changing its famous acronym, is becoming EBS:
Electronic Battlefield Series
Long live Falcon 4.0, happy anniversary!
Thank you BMS team!
To this day I still have this Gambler issue and I like to read from time to time.

RE: Falcon BMS 4.37 VR READY "and Beyond" Trailer 4K
“New UI”
Whenever I see BMS trailers I see this as well:
Loose translation: “We do impossible things in a blink of an eye, for miracles you need to wait a little”.
By the way - I am really glad that UI has not been reinvented/dumbed, but just rescaled/resized!

This is on me, I planned the schedule, I failed there.
No problem, Mate, you’ll provide some sneak peek 4.37.3 screenshot of F-15 pit and we are square

RE: Throttle axis seems to be impacting all other axes in throttle handle
Nope, everything was and is fine from electric point of view. What a piece of junk, I am 99% it is because SW/FW, not hardware. Anyway, I was going to modify anyway, it will probably sooner than later then.

USS Enterprise (CVN-65)
Hello,
I’d like to share with you my recent work on new flight deck of USS Enterprise. I hope you like it. If not let me know what could or shoud be done better.StenneG (thank you!) inspired me to make weathering in different way, but unfortunatelly due to technical problems I was not able to make this time. Why I release it then? Because it is finished in the sense that is complete and I still consider it as an upgrade, but for sure there is a room for more improvements. Unfortunatelly I am little bit tired of spending evenings working on HUUUGE xcf file, so I need a little break and focus on something else. I would not want to keep it unreleased for ages too.
StenneG, dema - thank you!
Here is the download link:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1H30ekQWhZ6-yLlvJwExxC0KyZPfd84c_?usp=sharing <–- NEW LINK here with corrected share settings (“EVERYONE”)INSTALLATION:
1. make a backup of the following files from \Falcon BMS 4.34\Data\TerrData\Objects\KoreaObj:- 96.dds
- 1756.dds
- 1757.dds
2. copy the files from Google Drive to \Falcon BMS 4.34\Data\TerrData\Objects\KoreaObj
In the Google Drive you will find two 1756 dds files, the one called 1756.dds has the resolution of 8192x8192px , the second one called 4096_1756.dds is obviously 4096x4096px big. Just rename it to 1756.dds if you want to use the lower res version.
CHANGELOG:
07/06/2020 - release
09/06/2020 - cat#1 and cat#2 became shorter (screenshots have not been updated, yet)Best regards,

RE: 3DPIT WISHLIST
Great!:)
but wait… A-10C? I think A-10A it’s better idea - less compromises, less work, less chance of being compared to DCS A-10C (I mean talking like ‘what the purpose of this? you already have it in DCS!’).
My vote: A-10A, (if not then A-10C ;)) and F-15C.

RE: Santa's wishlist for BMS
@Dee-Jay
I have recently bought JetPad and SimShaker Wings for support of Falcon BMS. Tell me please, if you fly straight at 1G… do you feel with your butt anything or everything is smooth as butter? Can you feel vibrations from the engine? Or when gear is extended or raised or locked? -

RE: Hypothetical question on Avionics in BMS
@Raptor
A-10A because there is almost no avionicsOr Eagle, a little bit more complicated, still much less than Viper or Hornet.
