It was pretty fun, and we didn't notice my wheels were out before I landed, but I stopped it in the center of the right half of the runway anyways.   edit: everyone should buy a track ir... also you get a 60% off coupon for a DCS module when you purchase track ir 5

No sooner had I finished setting up my controls for F4 BMS than my USB hub shorted out. I have a suspicion this will cause all my controllers to be renumbered and mess up my DCS, war thunder, and BMS controls. But the worst part is I can't plug in everything until I get a replacement. Thank god for same day delivery.

Get the thing cold started 10 minutes later, except I didn't have a HUD attitude indicator (just the climb indicator) and I couldn't toggle it between guns/CCIP/CCRP bombing.

The HUD still told me where waypoints were though so I still found an MLRS and blew it up with the gun through the old-fashioned "shoot and see where the shells land" method.

I think that is kind of misleading because most A-10C missions are in the mountainous areas of the map where 17,000 MSL is actually more like 5,000 to 10,000 AGL

First flight SEAD strike callsign Snake took out 3 SA-2s, 2 SA-13s and Baloogan got some random Radar with cluster bombs One F-16 damaged from an SA-14 (I think?) I think most of us RTB without dropping cluster bombs as we were heavily defensive from MIG-29s, and Elukka couldn't get his HARMs to launch. Second flight BARCAP callsign Stud, I think we killed approximately 11 hostile planes a couple of MIG-23s, MIG-29s, and MIG-19s. One F-16 lost to something, I am not sure anyone checked to see what took it out. Both flights were Baloogan, Elukka, semper wifi, and myself.

Galaga Galaxian posted:No problem. There are just keybinds to fire chaff, flares, and run countermeasures program, but I can't find a bind to select which program to use, which is what I assume CMS does. There is a program dial in the cockpit to select countermeasure programs 1-4. Unlike the A-10C where the CMS controls the program, in the F-16 it controls the ECM, run program 1-4 (preselected on dial), or program 8. There are some good diagrams of the HOTAS functions in the BMS manuals folder, which resides in a manuals subfolder of the BMS install directory. Such as these: A-A MASTER MODE: Side stick:  Throttle:  A-G MASTER MODE: Side stick:  Throttle:  I also came across this which may help keyboard players and should probably go in the Falcon BMS post near OP: They should all be known by anyone playing the game either on the KB or bound to joystick... code:Burno fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Jun 3, 2014 |

We have been trial running it right now, if anyone wants to come try it out on my server. Everything you need is already with BMS just a matter of binding some keys and enabling it when you connect to the server.

Sorry dudes who showed to fly and may have been disappointed. I got stuck at work until I was a little late, then when I turned on my PC my joysticks had all new direct x ID numbers which completely render the BMS key profiles useless. Then when I tried to host in 2D it seemed like it was crashing. I still haven't fixed my controllers, and it is very frustrating. Anyways it looked like Baloogan's server was working so I hope you guys were able to get a couple of flights in tonight.

INTJ Mastermind posted:Situation is kind of flipped in DCS where only the Mig-29S can carry R-77s. Of course the missile modeling now is so weak that a <M> on your RWR is more like "Hey FYI, there seems to be a missile out there. You might want to do something about it sooner or later, if you're not too busy and have some free time. Otherwise no biggie. Just thought you'd like to know." The missiles in DCS also seem to fly only direct profiles, unlike BMS where the BVR missiles will climb to like double the launch altitude and enter terminal stage with a lot of kinetic energy This also has the added effect of really lovely ranges in DCS if you want to actually get a kill

Elukka posted:I'm having weird problems locking things up in BMS. Air-to-air locks on the FCR work absolutely fine. HMCS locks work almost never; I've been able to get the circle by holding TMS up once or twice, but the vast majority of the time it does nothing. The same goes for Maverick seeker locks and TGP locks. Most of the time TMS up does nothing. What's up with this? You need to uncage the seeker head. quote:The UNCAGE switch is used to cage/uncage missiles, remove the AGM-65 dome cover, and provide AGM-65 weapon video.

The Korea Strong DPRK one has B-1Bs and B-2s plus others I think, also each scenario has different planes, the most dire situation one usually has fewer squadrons in much better planes. However there is an application to edit the squadrons it is called TacEdit. Load it to day 1 and change a squadron.

simble posted:HOTAS Warthog + Track IR. My strategy was get low in DGFT mode and just look up for spots in the sky, pop up and shove an AIM-9 up their poop hole. Bonus points if you saw 2 or 3 guys furballing above you and you get to shoot all of them. I don't know if you use the AB detent on the TM Warthog, but if you file down the leading edge of the insert you can get a slight stop before you go AB that you can then push up over without having the lift the throttle. DSauer posted:Once you run them dry its not so bad. They don't seem to have any effect on the aerodynamics of the aircraft its just the weight that's the issue. Neat that they allow you to free up two hardpoints under your wings but you can't really use those hardpoints anyway as ordinance is just adding even more weight. Are you flying Israel 0.991?

There is something special about zipping across North Korea at mach 2 just screwing all their radars up and being almost invulnerable. Then going for a refuel and doing it again.   However, refueling 32,000 LB of fuel sure does take awhile. I also added a bunch of other planes I wanted to check out to Seosan AB and this happened:  I got your B-52s, not pictured are the 4 in front of my plane.

So last night I briefly flew over North Korea in an EF-111A and thought it seemed like I was invulnerable, but then this morning I was trying to read more about how the ECM flights work while a player is flying and some BMS guys said it doesn't work when a player is in control of the plane. Well I just tried in a TE and approached an SA-10 at 40k feet and got this picture  So yes EF-111A does work for jamming while being flown by a player. There are some quirks to it though.

Lee Outrageous posted:Something just randomly came to mind with the talk of JDAMs and those B61s. There was a tactic employed by SAC medium bombers carrying those things to basically lob them into a target zone by pulling an Immelmann and releasing the bomb at 45 degrees. They did that partly because the high speed of the bomber carrying it allowed it to throw it a fair distance to avoid the blast. It then occurred to me that you could probably do the same thing with some JDAMs at mach 2 and keep clear of areas with heavy AA. Anyone ever tried this? You can use CCRP for toss bombing. It works pretty well. With the JDAMs you can use the ripple qty 4, impact spacing 999 ft and cycle steer points to throw 4 JDAMs on 4 different (nearby) steerpoints with a toss bombing.

You can get a force sensitive sensor mod for the warthog now which probably makes it the best stick out there if you are going that route. The warthog throttle works well enough in BMS w/morphine's profile. I was talking last night about moving the antenna elevation from the slider to the coolie hat which I may try to set up.

We also found a lone B-2 cruising at something around 18,000-20,000 feet headed straight for the center of the DMZ. Given how many planes were on the DMZ, I kind of doubt he made it through unless North Koreans are blind.
