It’s brilliant, Manos. The public will never know how hard you worked on all the details but they will love it!

RE: 4.35 U3 Rants, feedback, comments
Big fan of the update. I think AI improvements and improvements to core simulation of basic technologies (missile guidance, radars) capitalize on the things that make BMS better than “that other sim.” That said (purely speculating,) I think some people are less likely to be excited because they’ve caught a sense that a big BMS update is about to drop, namely the terrain engine teases.

RE: EZBoards - Generate kneeboards (flights, comms, stpts, weather) from briefings
Logic, I’m a fan of this software, especially for how quickly and easily it gets the job done. Thank you for this contribution. The http server is also a brilliant addition and makes my iPad essential again now that touchscreen ICPs have lost their novelty. I have a serious suggestion though, and it’s a pretty big ask: what about making the output configurable? I think your tool would be totally unique and more widely used if it were possible, perhaps via switching to an editable XML or HTML template, to change the data fields and their arrangement. Formatting could still be done in CSS. This would allow squadrons / flight leads to produce kneeboard cards with their preferred info on them, as is done in real life. Maybe in the long run it could even run user-customized local JavaScript to generate custom weapon delivery data, etc.
I hope you agree these would be killer features that would enhance capability without complicating the average user’s experience. Thanks again for your work on this tool, it instantly became my favorite way to reference flight data for MP without the WDP dance.

Excellent! Thanks for including the source, too.

RE: BMSConfig: A new config tool
Great work, looking forward to an English version! (Although can probably figure it out in French for now)

RE: Tacview – Understand what happened during your last flight! (alternative ACMI viewer)
Hi team,
I’ve started to notice a frustrating bug with the chart windows which I use frequently to analyze performance. You can see here that regardless of how I scale the charts, certain fast objects will be cut off on the vertical axis. It attempts to scale to a certain point, but always cuts off around Mach 2 or equivalent airspeeds. This is a new issue that did not occur in previous versions of Tacview.
Thanks for your attention.

RE: Nvg mask resolution
Another option for 16:9 monitors. Not perfect but provides a round mask with sufficient clearance to see below the device as is done to view displays in real life.

RE: Nvg mask resolution
I’ve spent some time doing this from the engineering side, and the optical diagrams look as depicted on the website I referenced. Analytically, the referenced diagram is correct.
Irrelevant. Having looked through an actual pair of correctly mounted AN/AVS-9s, the appearance is of a circle. If not, they are incorrectly adjusted.

RE: 4.35 MFD font impossible to read at 'normal' zoom levels.
Same here. I think I can see from that comparison image that although the mfd font mask is accurate sharp, the font rendering method is aliasing the edges, causing the fonts to look thinner and blurry. No setting I can change appears to affect that blurriness. I was hoping that I had some transparency anti-aliasing enabled somewhere, but I don’t.
Although I’d prefer not to see the blurriness, the tiny size of the bullseye/cursor elevation fonts would be a more critical fix, as the real issue here is trying to read those tiny blurry fonts without zooming in. The larger OSB font is still readable even if it’s not sharp.
