I love this app and I do air battle management for my group but every patch sadly wipes this little app. Now with 4.37.1 it once again will not work. I appreciate Tumbler31’s hard work, but is there anything I can do? Is the version hardcoded into the app? It doesn’t seem actually need to check for the update necessarily.

RE: VG BMS4 Co-op | 24/7 Dedicated Server!
Hello,
i have a (probably stupid) question.
how big the engagement on the mic has to be?
I’m not a big fan of using mics on the internet.
Is there a recommended server for rather nonactive people on the mic?
I’m asking because i would love to play with other people, since this sim is rather bland in singleplayer.
So what are my options here?
thanksWhy the hell do you want to play MP if you don’t want to communicate?

RE: Morphine's Profile
Whenever I put the line of code for the LED’s in, the virtual controller freezes and does not move any axis. Only the non-led profile works and I haven’t found a way to make the LEDs work. ANy ideas?

RE: How Big are yours?
The problem with the F1 analogy is that you can drive a F1 car at 60kph, but you cannot fly a fighter jet at 60kt… You need to have the basic skills, and you need to develop them in RL with a RL instructor. There is no substitute for RL experience. You mention simple or basic tasks. I was just thinking about flying around and coming back for a landing when writing my post. I don’t thin you can go any simpler…
My dad as a flight instructor has done the “I flew FSX, can I fly a Cessna” and has witnessed it being possible with multiple people being able to taxi, takeoff, do a pattern and come back for landing, if a bit bumpy.
Even I took a Cessna for a touch-n-go like that with no prior flight experience.Nevermind that the Navy has let multiple people into its Hornet Simulators and in the recent article, the PC Gamer journalist has no trouble piloting the plane around and being able to do the simplest tasks in the cockpit.
Navy Instructors have stated that it might very well be that propeller planes wouldn’t be nearly as easy as modern jets that offer multiple stability systems, don’t have prop torque and have wider margins for stall and overspeed. This discussion might be different if we are talking about a Mustang or a 109, but in case of modern fighters, the smoothness of the control surfaces and the information readily available in the HUD help a tremendous amount.
Even more so, you keep repeating things like this: “There is no substitute for RL experience.”
Well really now? Good thing though that that has nothing to do with the conversation at hand.
The F1 car might be slower, but the room for tolerance is also far larger in aviation than a circuit track with 30 feet wide lanes. -
RE: How Big are yours?
This discussion pops up regularly in almost every simulation related forum… And I think it is just the equivalent to somebody stating that he could race a F1 car because he plays Grand Turismo…
A Viper pilot goes through many stages of training. By the time he gets close to a viper he’s got hundreds of hours of flight experience, has flown several different types, is used to the seat-on-the-pants, doesn’t get airsick, etc. If it were as easy as having somebody sit in front of a computer for lets say 1000h and then putting them into the cockpit, air forces around the world would not spend millions each year training their recruits.
Enjoy the sim, learn as much as you can from it. Sims can be a great training aid. They can replicate many of the factors involved in flying a real life jet. But don’t make the mistake: PC sims are PC sims. Real life is Real life.
Your post has nothing to do with this and the annoying high horse you are might satisfy you, but has no bearing on the discussion. If you think the Air Forces train people on the skill level of “maybe start the engine and be able to fly a pattern around the airfield”, then lol at you.
The discussion, as often is, is if a person could reasonably perform some of the most simplest tasks given the chance. And based on the simulation, the answer is “maybe”.
The real pilots train years to be in a condition of never to run into moments where they are dumbfounded and confused. But this discussion is not about that, it is if a person can do basic tasks based on the experience in a simulation. And that question, like said, has been answered: yes, they can do the basics possibly, depending on what they have practiced with and how well they remember it. A fluent operation of the jet is extremely consuming and a long process to learn, but as to your other point: It is not about racing in F1 and doing well. It is about driving the car for a bit around the circuit.
