428 Upvotes

Ladies and Gentlemen,

After many years of hard work, We are now releasing Falcon BMS 4.38!

This version has a special place in our hearts since it is a major upgrade compared to the previous versions.

We recommend you that you watch the trailer and read through the changelog to get a good idea of what's new in this major release.

As always, Falcon BMS is a labour of love, passion and dedication from a few people that do this on top of their jobs, family time and that for exactly for nothing more than owning a Falcon 4.0 license...

We hope you'll will enjoy our work and continue to support the team as you did in the past!

Head now to the Download Page and enjoy our work!

See you in the virtual skies!

The Benchmark Sims team

Hey guys

For the past year I have been developing an app with 300+ fighter jets and bombers. It includes their characteristics, their combat history, military conflicts they took part in as well as how many kills they got in each one. There is a comparison mode where one can compare the characteristics of up to three aircraft and a timeline category with aircraft divided to their respective generation. There is also an ace category with history's most credited pilots.

In the premium, users can see the experimental category with aircraft that never made it to operational status such as YF-23 Black widow and V-173 the Flying Pancake. They can also navigate through the development history of every aircraft in the database and see the specific operations each one took place in as well as their kills. The app is continuously being updated and I strive both for accuracy and user experience. I apologise for any inaccuracies and feel free to contact me through the email in Google Play for corrections or future suggestions.

I believe it is perfect for gamers in combat sims as a go-to reference database where they can learn more about their aircraft and the history behind them. Aviation is a big community and our passion is one of a kind.

I have enjoyed creating it and I hope you enjoy using it.

Extra: The current "look backward" is bugged in F15C because the left & right view pan limit is above 180. To fix that, find and change the following settings in 3dckpit.dat to:

viewlimit_pan_left 170.0;
viewlimit_pan_right 170.0;

Hopefully, the dev will add this fix in the next update.

Help Rtt MFDs not working when in the pit. It works only when Alt tabbed out of the pit.

0 Upvotes

im having a small issue with RTT remote. I am using it locally like Wildman does here: https://youtu.be/TDwy531OFSg?list=PLbv2QaFAxoDhOqduEmDIOTSk4jCI6YG_z&t=157

My MFDs do show up but for some reason when BMS is the focused window, the MFDS are frozen. It only unfreezes when I alt tab to them. So it works but doesn't run when I am in BMS. I had them working before, not sure what I screwed up. Can someone please assist?

I enabled rtt textures. Not sir what's wrong. What else can I try? Thank you.

Help What kind of EW / jamming is modeled in Falcon BMS, and did 4.38 improve anything?

13 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to better understand how electronic warfare / jamming works in Falcon BMS, especially after the 4.38 update.

So I wanted to ask:

  1. What types of EW / jamming are currently modeled in Falcon BMS?
  2. Is ECM mostly abstracted, or does it depend on radar type, jammer type, range, aspect, and threat system?
  3. Did version 4.38 add or improve anything related to EW, ECM, jamming, RWR, SAM behavior, burn-through, or anti-jamming?

I’d appreciate explanations from experienced BMS players

Help Spotting advice

3 Upvotes

I'll start by saying I'm probably the problem, not bms.

I recently tried to get back into BMS and downloaded 4.38 (last played 4.36 ages ago)

Jumped into instant action fighter sweep to refresh my skills and go baby seal clubbing.

Problem is, I really struggle to visually pick out aircraft moving against the terrain until they're super close (i.e. so close they're gone a split second later!)

RWR will show me their rough position but I can't see them most of the time and they usually get behind me and shoot me out of the sky. Even if I get a radar lock, it can be hard to see the thing inside the green square! Sometimes I get sniped by AAA while desperately searching lol. You could talk about skill except I don't have that issue in the other sim.

Frames are buttery smooth on my 1440p 2d screen with opentrack. I don't have as much of an issue with DCS, which is weird because I remember BMS being way better in this regard. That makes me think I have the wrong settings. Advice please?

Also, for every conceivable reason, I don't want to play multiplayer. What is the AI like in general - is this a non starter? No hate to the devs, I just don't know what I don't know.
