so…. made a pair of wings model myself last night. this seems more like it!
sorry for the thread derail Pumpyhead……
Looks great!!

Ok I finally leaned far enough and also spotted the nose needle so I do believe Skwabie
One sexy ass plane!!!
molnibalage great stuff about MolnyFalcon v2.0**.**While I agree that RWR on every tank is overkill and the air defense should be enough,I still feel that its a lose lose situation for armor.I mean a Shilka or a sam site is defeatable easily from a distance,or so thats how lockon portrayed it.Any attack on a column meant getting visual on the air defenses and taking them out from afar.Then just going in with guns and dumb bombs to clean up.I would not wanna be a tanker in a war against a superior air force.
Paveway,I agree to a point….you control how much of a sitting duck you wanna become but armor really are just sitting around waiting.
You need a dedicated MANPAD carrier vechicle that can be assigned into a battalion roster. But if every battalion have MANPAD or SHORAD maybe mean over modeled defense. Therefore at least two types of battalion required form a T-72 battalion. One have olny AAA - only problem that even MG accuracy and damage seems to me seriously over modeled in BMS4 - and another should have SHORAD or MANPAD. Other issues is the qty. on missile for one platform and selecting the MANPAD counting the modeled era. This is why requires about every decade an own database…
Bigger problem in Falcon world modeling the identification problem and reaction time for IR guided systems.
(I know where can be set reaction time for radar guided systems:
I have no idea how detailed the F4 campaign is so……coudln’t there be a chance of having dedicated MANPAD carrier vechicle?And the reaction time in F4 was what worried me.I would fly circles over sams and then all of a sudden when I went to land they would fire at me.But just now with ACE AI the sams loaded 10 missiles at me in a matter of 30 secs.
Also,someone posted about the sniper AAA and I did agree they were way too accurate.Lockon seemed real to me that if you loitered in the area at slow speed your dead but you did manage to easily evade the AAA.I mean if they are as accurate as BMS makes them then why bother with SHORAD?
And back one minute later.OMG I entered mission with AAA sams on ace and the instant I spawned I had two sams headed my way….I dove to deck and a rapid fire sam was spraying me with missiles.LMAO that was hilarious and enticing at same time!!!
molnibalage said: Yes, they are. During ODS in one day with 46 F-111F destroyed 132 tanks and other vehicles. Varks carried typically 4 GBU-12 on tank hunting missions.
Thats crazy and makes me wonder how dumb this army was to let loose all that armor unsupported or improperly.
No, they do not have. Why should have?
To see when a long distance radar is seeing them though I guess thats where the portable sams would be for.
BMS4 requires tweaked campaigns and DB to fulfill your wish.
Will this ever happen?
Ok,so modern warfare really is how I picture it.Lockon had some missions where you were being fired upon from all directions and the hidden manpads were killer.Manpads where the death of me usually but you first needed to take out the long range AA support.
It just dawned on me that I have been playing all this time with the AI on easy so maybe I am talking out my wazoo
I need to get this off my chest.Are tanks really that vulnerable to AtoG attacks?If I knew what I know from F4 I would never step foot in one knowing that there are planes that see you from distance/lock on to you and then your dead.There has to be something to get men to climb into the vehicles.Who would build these high expense machines to throw them out to the field thats basically a shooting range?And so I have a few more questions.:p
So I wonder,do tanks have RWR built in?
Do they have men standing around them looking for enemy aircraft launching on them?
Do tank columns in real life have more AAA,manpads and sams with them than we see in game.
Do they execute more tricks into luring targets in.Stuff like setting an advanced radar and waiting for enemy planes to kill.Then when the plane thinks its safe to get closer and use up close weapons the y turn on the other radars and manpads and the enemy is pretty much dead.
Do tanks ever hide behind buildings to keep enemy aircraft from being able to lockon?
You guys sure about this?I always lean forward and up and do not see a nose sticking out.
I haven’t been using tower guidance much, but if he vectored you into a mountain, I would avoid paying attention to him in the future (assuming you had the correct altimeter setting)! (Also carry a chart with you and never blindly accept altitudes from tower – double check on your chart! We do this in real life too, in the civilian world.)
LOL,yep he is not to be trusted.Now I will constantly be thinking plz don’t fly me into a mountain.Will do the chart things.Whats great is you can pause,CTRL/ALT/DEL out and then look at the interactive Korea map.Excellent help it is.
Inbound - I’m 20 miles out, get me “in the system” and give me vectors for an approach.
Request landing - basically the same as inbound I believe
Declaring an emergency - Priority landing, usually cleared in to any runway.
And why put in two options for same thing.That will constantly bug me as I try to figure out what the devs were thinking.
Well, it’s not easy in windy conditions, but like everything, practice practice practice.
Weird that they dont make it more intuitive.Make it act exactly like the steer point and voila its perfect.I guess its a computer that calculates all that and when the hud is gone so is that computer.
No, you can hear your own voice even if you’re not on the correct frequency. You can’t hear anyone else though. You can’t hear your own voice if your volume is turned all the way down or the radio is off. To be extra sure, press COMM1, enter the UHF frequency for your tower (e.g., enter 2-6-7-5-0-ENTER if it’s 267.5), hit enter, verify that the frequency is shown under “UHF”, and try asking for the QNH.
Worked,thanks
Make sure you have joined a flight of F-16s. The icons on the left should be F-16s. If not, pick a different flight above.
Will try that
FSX has an even more detailed IFR implementation. For one, there’s a larger database of navaids – more VORs, more TACANs, more ILSs, and more airports. For two, FSX also supports older (but still used) NDB-based navigation. And FSX lets you practice approaches using a KLN GPS system and a G1000 GPS system, two technologies in use on civilian aircraft.
Did not expect that LOL.I have put off FSX for some reason for years.Most likely because I never liked the FM.
If I have a working HUD, I’d certainly choose to fly with the steering cue. It’s much easier. However, it’s important to practice with the needles in case your HUD is damaged in combat.
Copy that.
Actually, and this is pretty bad on my part, the ILS was for the RIGHT runway, not the LEFT. If this had been real life, I would have gotten a serious talking-to from my CO and from the tower personnel. To stray onto the approach path of another runway when landing, even on an ILS landing, is a BIG no-no.
LOL,oh I have to watch it again.I noticed that the localizer was off right before you looked up.If its really that hard in real life thats like suicide landing in severe conditions.
In real life, not all TACANs have DME support. I’m not sure about Falcon, but my suspicion is that they all have DME in the game. However, it’s possible they don’t, and you are tuning in a TACAN without a DME transmitter. The other possibility is that you are not receiving the TACAN signal. Is it just the DME that’s covered with a red bar, or is there a red flag showing on the HSI as well? If both are flagged, then you aren’t receiving the signal. You are either too far away, or behind a mountain blocking the radio waves, or something else. (In real life some TACANs have “unusable radials” – like for instance a TACAN may not broadcast between the 160 and 180 radial… don’t know if this is modeled in BMS.)

Thanks again RISCfuture.Got tower to respond by doing a TE mission.I do not think that QM’s have control tower working….though I could be wrong and just doing it wrong.I ask for tower to guide me in and he sends me into a mountain.Descend to 2K at heading 90 at 200kts.I do just that but the ground radar comes on and before I knew what it meant I died.For now I would like to just use tower guidance in since that Tacan looks way out of my league for now.Is the tower accurate in F4?
Also,whats the difference between inbound,request landing and emergency?
1. Yes, the HUD altimeter will change with the altimeter setting if your HUD is set to display barometric altitude (which it is by default).
Great,thanks.
2. Make sure you have the correct tower frequency dialed in to either of your radios.
Pretty sure its correct.I hear my own voice and that doesn’t happen when your not dialed in right?Maybe there is no tower in quick missions since you have unlimited weapons etc?
3. Try using a training TE where no one shoots missiles at you.
I have been trying to do training missions but I spawn in a tanker for some reason.Just now I spawned in an A10 doing an F16 campaign….
What I do now is use GPS to get to the airport and then ride the ILS in.The ILS is super sweet and fun for me….is FSX as detailed in navigation and ILS as F4?.Just wondering since I was thinking of buying it.
Your video and Tanit’s video though confuse me and I wonder if they are wrong.Example is Tanit’s video where he says do not chase the localizer but then does that by putting the FPM on it and is zig zagging across the sky.Aren’t we supposed to follow the steering cue on the horizon mark.I do that and it guides you right in to the ILS.That comes to your tutorial where you fly down with the dials instead of hud.There is no steer point on the dials so I wonder if you did it this way to show instrument landing only and normally you would use the HUD?Also,you did an ILS landing tutorial with extreme wind.At first I thought when you went heads up you were way off course but just now I noticed the FPM was spot on to runway.
That TACAN is too complicated right now for me.Also the TACAN DME number is always blocked with that red bar.Any idea why?I enter in correct TACAN number in HED.
True. I called for QNH; if you use any other altimeter setting you will be at the wrong altitudes during your approach and may even impact terrain! So be sure to use QNH only; the other two settings are never requested by U.S. pilots.
You have to forgive me as I am learning as I go along.Just reading about QNH and altimeter.A simple question is when you change the altimeter does it change the info on the hud?Also I am setting all the info correct and when I ask tower for QNH I get no response.I also get no response for any other questions and at one point they started shooting missiles at me.So am I doing a Forest Gump here practicing ILS landings at Pusan AB?Is a message gonna come back saying"are you for real we are you enemy idiot"LOL
Love it LOVE IT!! To **RISCfuture…**Esxcellent done video but its missing an important thing that noobs just do not know.You probably could edit it in or at least the first one I encountered.When you went to set altimeter you overlooked the issue that noobs do not know about QFE QNE QNH.So you called tower and then pressed one but did not explain which one.I have no idea what will happen if you chosse wrong one but from what I gather you can be off somehow.
Any chance of a navigation video with IL landings?
