 AND resetting my key-binding save?!Ok, restarting the game after fixing my controls seems to have ensured permanence. Anyways, I think I've got basic take offs and landings down. Galaga Galaxian fucked around with this message at 06:49 on Jun 3, 2014 |

To streamline the campaign I added to a Falcon OP these as requirements. Not to be too spergy, but we can't herd cats when we are starting the campaign for everybody. Making others to wait for some to get their basic bearings is wasteful. Anyone needing help show up early or ask some other day. If these skills are not in basic grasp, then it is better to skip. With the options and tutorials, these are learned in 30 minutes. We'll worth it. My intention is not to be bossy or spergy, but the amount of goons is exploding and something needs to be done to streamline actual game days. Like said, anyone needing help should ask and help will be given. quote:b]You need to know these buttons:[/b] Planning, loadouts and all that can be done by people who know it as flight leaders. The way the game is made, other people can force plans and loadouts for people, thus making it much easier for others.

Is there an easier way to change steerpoints other than manually jamming the number in on the UFC STRP menu?

So for someone who is time conscious in the evenings, how long does an average mission run in Falcon? Doing goon flights sounds like fun, but if it's like a 2.5 hour chunk of time after 9PM CST I wouldn't be able to play and don't want to waste another goon's time teaching me what's what in the game.

Now that we have some minor rulee re: basic knowledge, each goon sortie is approx. 40 mins to an hour long. Note that you can leave earlier if you need to, and the AI will take over your plane and get you back safely.

Because of the campaign limits on planes, I'm probably going to try and get landings down first because I'm utter poo poo at managing a decent glide path. Is the singleplayer BMS good for training? I installed late last night and haven't set it up yet.

Yeah, its decent, and the "Tactical Engagement" training missions are pretty good (make sure to check the Training Script button before you press commit.)

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 |

This game is addictively fun in multiplayer, campaign mode. I was half temped to buy the CH fighterstick and pro throttle but $200 for a modded game from 1998 is not worth that kind of investment

I was looking at getting trackir... but yeah 200$ .... Anyone know how to slave the targetting pod to the FCR in air to ground mode? It by default is slaved to the radar but sometimes I can break the link and I can't get it back.

Two more buttons that have to be mapped somewhere as a requirement for the goon campaign. Either map em to joystick or two readily available buttons on the game. HOTAS VHF HOTAS UHF Tomorrow campaign continues. Read falcon OP for info. Vahakyla fucked around with this message at 03:56 on Jun 4, 2014 |

Zuh? Are you going to be using Teamspeak and the Teamspeak BMS server magic thing they did to give real in game radio comms? ^^ Yeah. COMM1 is UHF and COMM2 is VHF I believe. The nice thing about having the wrong radio frequencies tuned is not having to listen to that annoying guy in the tower admonishing you for landing seconds ahead of a C-7.

If we are going to use that teamspeak thing I think we should try it out first, get everyone set up and installed with it. I have a feeling it going to take hours to get right hhaha

That and it needs Teamspeak which is pretty poo poo compared to mumble. Finally got everything sorted out on my end so I'll likely be able to join you bros tomorrow night. Went with the X52 config located here which works brilliantly. Still need to work on a post showing poor goons how to get head tracking for next to nothing... if you're handy.

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.

Oh right, I'd forgotten the BMS team somehow managed to get the Teamspeak guys to give them a "no questions asked" license to embed teamspeak into the game and create their IVC Client/Server.

Set the TGP as sensor of interest by pressing DMS down until the MFD has a white border, then press TMS down. I think this also works with Mavericks.
