You don't need to be an ACE man, I'm just trying to get enough bums in the cockpit and lets all get to Angels 24! If players are having issues with setup, we have enough brains in the community to get them air borne. Lets do it.

Ok let me start this thread off. For those who don't know I'm Kavelenko or people just call me "KAV". I've been flying Falcon 4.0 BMS since roughly October 2016 or thereabouts. I spend most of my gaming time either playing Project Reality or flying BMS. These two games couldn't be so far apart from each other, PR is pretty easy to play but requires good team work whereas BMS is a whole different ball game. I'm pretty much self taught, although credit has to go to @=VG= SemlerPDX who helped me to get started with his tutorials, helpful tips, and training flights. I started out following the Training Engagements in the BMS manual, watching YouTube videos, and just plain crashing and screwing up big-time. This flight sim is not for everyone and I've noticed that the fall out rate is high due to the steep learning curve needed to get anywhere. I enjoy mainly air to ground missions but also don't mind the odd dog fight with a stray MiG-29. The Jets I fly are the F-16 and the AV-8B Harrier but these days I concentrate more on the F-16. Cheers =VG= Kavelenko

The Alternative Launcher is handy once installed but it does override any keyfile that you have set, I just use the BMS - Full profile and adjust whatever key mappings I want in the HOTAS columns, you can see the default keyboard short cuts here as well. The cursor directions I set in the avionics panel via the setup page in BMS but you could do it here if for some reason the program was not detecting your throttle controller.

Hi @=VG= BLuDKLoT, I'm pretty sure old profiles in BMS won't work with this update, you've got to start from scratch, cant remember when that happened but I had a similar problem when my keyfile became virtually useless. You could try the default set up for the X52 Pro stick, there's one in the Docs folder: What I did in the end was install the Alternative Launcher found here: https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?31774-Falcon-BMS-Alternative-Launcher-(Easy-Setup-Keep-Joystick-Assignments)&highlight=alternative+launcher I swear by that program for changing or setting my Warthog configuration, its the easiest way to get going again IMO. Let me know when you're available and I'll go through it with you on Discord or TS if you want.

This thread is to gauge the interest in creating a Falcon 4.0 BMS event on the VG server. It will be open to anyone but highly recommended that you know how to fly the F-16, this is not an event where you will get instructions on how to ramp start a jet or the basics of navigating to the target area. If you are a complete novice to this flight-sim it might be a good idea to practice the basics: take off, follow basic navigation, and land. Ok so I'm putting this invitation out there for those players who already think they know a thing or two about flying jets, eg. DCS, War Thunder, PR, Falcon 4.0 Allied Force, BMS, whatever. Falcon 4.0 the original was launched in 1988 so its a pretty old game but still available from Steam for A$9.95, you'll need to install that base game first and then install the mods from the Benchmark Sims site, the system requirements are here : https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/content.php?132 The latest version of Falcon 4.0 BMS 5.35.2 - which is FREE - can be found here: https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?42376-Falcon-BMS-4-35-U2-Incremental-Installer Please indicate via the poll if you are interested and what your skill level is. Cheers =VG= Kavelenko

Is Black Gold STD on the bad maplist? It crashed the server once when I was on, didn't record the date/time sorry.

We able to login before the event starts so we make sure our comms & mods are working correctly?

Bravo AR thanks, batmeme you are dead mate!

Hey @PITN, @=VG= ciro et al, I had an question from a random player on the Mike Force Server who was having problems logging into the game. He said he updated CBA mod and it keeps kicking him out. I noticed the mod list has changed slightly, is there anyone who can check what's going on there? I had a similar fault but I managed to get back in the server ok, cant remember what the hell I did to fix it but I notice TFAR is not working the way it used to. cheers, Kav

Thanks Sausag3 and everyone who helped to get this event done, I had a lot fun doing it, stream available here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1082834107 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1083064563

Thanks for that System, we were trying to guess the commands yesterday, that explains it cheers.

I've heard several people mention "Gun Game" is this a thing now and how do we set it?
