I think people come to BMS to fly a fighter jet in a dynamic campaign. Open source or not isn’t really a factor they look at when they come over. Smart(er) AI, dynamic campaign, co-op MP, and other factors carry more weight, I would imagine.
I was not trying to say open source was going to be the reason for people to play, people don’t care that much, but i was saying the effect that it would make was going to be the reason.

What makes you think BMS is dying? For a project fuelled by passion, they just released 4.36 with loads of improvements. The hardware/simpit side seems to be going strong. Once DCS players hit a skill ceiling and realise the limitations of DCS, where do you think they’re going to go? Do you think a DCS Viper player who is looking for more (or maybe just gets fed up with his stupid AI wingman!!) will balk at the £3.99/£7.99 price tag of Falcon 4.0 after being in DCS where modules cost $50-$80? ED is talking about making a dynamic campaign engine. Where do you think people who want a DC now will look? Or those that are not happy with the limitations of the Liberation mod, do you think they won’t come check out BMS due to it not being open source or because of the £3.99/£7.99 price tag?
I think a lot of the community is moving from BMS to DCS, obviously not everyone, there is people very pasionate that won’t move, but most people yes. As much as some don’t care the truth is that for almost everyone is an important factor things like graphics (yes, this is a simulator, and that is the first requirement, but people also gives graphics a lot of importance because that is like “simulating real life look”). I think BMS is really good on some things, much better than DCS, but the more time passes DCS looks more like the future.

Curious the brand new accounts created lately to complain and/or predict the demise of BMS. hmmmmm Every year same thing. BMS is dying, and yet we are here. Thanks to dedication of dev team.
This is a new account, that doens’t mean im new on this. I started on the aircraft combat simulation with BMS 4 years ago but my group moved to DCS 2 years ago, and i also saw that change on a lot of youtube channels. I have another account from the older forum but doens’t remember the credentials so i created this new one.
