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: 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: News from the frontline, 4.37.3 delayed (and explained)
@Seifer said in News from the frontline, 4.37.3 delayed (and explained):
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: 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!

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.

RE: Cougar's condition…...and thanks for your support
Oh my! You were incredibely lucky that your heart stopped beating where and when you in the hospital with staff (more or less) ready for such action and not, say, home alone!
Good luck on your next surgery, it will be fine. Have to be.
Best regards,

RE: Best throttle options
Mower, have you tried to connect that card to PayPal? I have my prepaid card connected to PayPal and it works very well. Recently I was also able to link my company’s benefit card with some crazy restrictions to Google Pay. In both cases even if the shop does not support said payment methods you should be able to transfer money back to your bank account.

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.

RE: Throttle axis seems to be impacting all other axes in throttle handle
Hmm… for sure I have disconnected it recently (you mean in TQS box, not joystick one?), but the problem with axes appeared just after I had replaced mobo/CPU/RAM and reinstalled OS, not after opening it. Then I found I have a problem with Cougar… anyway, I am going to open it again today and check all the cables and connections one more time.
In the worst case scenario I will replace all electronics with 2 MMJoy2+ProMicros combo.

RE: Throttle axis seems to be impacting all other axes in throttle handle
Woah, someone replied No, it is hardly possible, it was still sitting in my simpit. I have found that I am able to calibrate it with TM calibration tool and then main axis has full range (however center is a little bit off), but I am unable to calibrate cursor axes. What is strange it looks like main axis is impacting other axes while being not impacted by those other axes. Strange, isn’t it?
I have also found that electrically all connections are OK, I used multimeter to check that.
So it is something with the chip/EPROM?

It has to be a joke.

RE: What is new in 4.35
Hello,
I’m very happy to share this trailer video of my J-20.
It was produced 8 months ago under BMS 4.35 for testing proposes, but not yet available. I’m eagerly waiting it to be released for the whole community !
Cheers,
Radium
Oh my, imagine J-20 being flyable.
Yeah, I know, it is still UFO, but **** that. I miss 90’ with their tons of F-22 simulators

Throttle axis seems to be impacting all other axes in throttle handle
Hi,
recently I have changed few parts in my PC and I am still working on making my PC great again!Unfortunatelly I have a problem with my Cougar - initially I thought it is poorly (auto)calibrated cause I am getting something like 0-63%. Worse, it seems that main throttle axis impacts all other axes as well! I mean when I am increasing Z-axis I see that both S1 and XR (ANT ELEV and RANGE) are being increased as well and to the exacly value (58774/89.68%). Radar cursors are also impacted but due to their nature it is hard to tell how much.
It is very strange and this is the first time I see something like that. Have you exprienced similiar error?
What I have tried:
- reconnecting,
- connecting to different USB port,
- reinstalling,
- reflashing.
Nothing.
Kind regards,

RE: BMS 4.35 trailer
Ok Guys, I have to confess something. Since leaks from I-Hawk I was hoping that .35 and .36 will be merged together even if it would mean we would have to wait a little bit longer. I wasn’t waiting for .35, I was going to even skip that version completely…
but…
lets get this party started again! :bdance:
.35 installed, will check it later.
Thank You for keeping the Dream alive.
