bms BMS Training Missions on the VG server
=VG= Kavelenko posted an event in VG Air Force's Group Flights
untilHi Everyone, This a regular event on the =VG= Server every weekend, specifically 10:00:00 ZULU (GMT) on Saturdays, please check the clock on the home page of this site. Anyone is welcome to hook up with us and fly a few missions, we don't bite. We currently use Veterans-Gaming Team Speak for pre-flight communications; some of us also use the VG Discord voice channels. Falcon 4.0 BMS does take some time to learn so you need to be dedicated to get anywhere with this flight simulator, once you've configured your joystick or HOTAS the first thing to do is to start with Training engagements. Use those exercises to learn the basics of ramp starting your jet, radio communications, taking off and landing, and the basics of navigation from one steer point to the next. You really need to put some effort in initially and get some fundamentals under your belts before joining a flight on the live server. This weekly session means that we can fly in a real campaign and put some of those skills you are developing to practical use. Links to useful information VG Air Club Rules VG BMS Server Connection Details How to ramp start your F-16 (4.35) Air Base Operations (Radio Presets) Controlling Radios with Voice Commands Navigation Fundamentals Beyond Visual Range (BVR) for beginners AV-8B Harrier Ops Harrier AV-8B Ramp Start (4.34 old version) Falcon BMS 4.35 - STOL off the WASP with 4 x AGM-84E SLAMs. Please let us know if you are totally new to BMS or inexperienced so others may help, otherwise see you at Angels 25. -

Working on my keyfile profile for BMS 4.35, almost finished it but I still have a few slots on the shift layer I'm sure I could take advantage of. One thing that has been useful for adjusting my key file is the Falcon BMS Alternative Launcher. Be careful before you rush ahead and use this tool it has a nasty side effect of altering several files in your BMS setup so please read this page on the BMS site BEFORE you download and install it.
I almost thought I would need to do a complete re-install but I persevered with it and now find that this program could be very useful for new players who are having issues setting up their joysticks in BMS. Its very easy to use and set the different call backs to the various keys on your stick and throttle. I've even added a bit more functionality to my rig since using it so I am recommending this great program. Just be warned the program will alter your current setup so please back up any important files before going ahead.
Here is the page to get the installation files and instructions.Also here is a copy of my current setup for the HOTAS Warthog Stick and Throttle.

Logitech Extreme 3D Pro question, BMS 4.35
=VG= Kavelenko replied to Herkyman's topic in Joysticks/Devices
No problem Herkyman, if you haven't already had a look you may wish to go through the Falcon BMS Manual around page 24 where it goes over the setup of the game, check out the section for your controller page 36, you might get there a bit quicker. The other option is to search the Benchmark Sims website for someone who's using the Logitech 3D PRO. https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/content.php The manual I'm referring to is named: BMS-Manual.pdf, once you've got yourself set up then my advice would be to start with the BMS-Training.pdf manual and work your way through the Training Engagement missions starting with Ground Ops. BMS is a steep learning curve but that's part of flying flight sims, its not easy but is rewarding. -
That's not the issue, reset our game tracker stats and eliminate the incentive to spawn camp and base rape.

No I think you'll find that you cannot cap Palace unless Apartments is capped but the problem with that flag is that bots will still spawn on that particular point even when Apartments is capped which can become a problem if Palace is not capped quickly. The spawn point at Apartments is no more broken than the spawn points on Kashan Desert's North Village where they keep spawning well after the flag has been capped. Either way the rule about spawn camping still stands provided its done inside the cap zone of the flag that is currently being capped. The intent of the rule about spawn camping was to stop people setting up on spawn points that are NOT inside the cap zone and farming kills. Sure using a CAS chopper seems OP but then I would also consider 2 APCS, IFV and two .50cal HMMVs OP as well but its not outside of the rules we currently enforce.
-
8. Camping Farming kills by camping spawns and enemy assets is forbidden. Including: Knifing/camping enemy assets. Every attempt must be made to destroy any enemy asset as long as it complies with the baserape rules. Attacking enemy infantry spawn points Enemy infantry spawns may only be attacked when they are inside the current flag capture radius. - <--- please pay attention to this. If players lose the flag at the palace due to the bots spawning on a broken spawn point its up to the players at Palace to fall back and recap Appartments, so technically CAS was not doing anything wrong.
-
Not quite correct, you can camp spawn points so long as they are not outside the flag that is being capped. I thought you knew that?
-
Whats the difference between that scene and this one m8 posted on discord? Do they really need that much firepower to cover a spawn point? Like I suggested earlier try it with an infantry squad, one or two grunts tops can handle that spawn point rofl!

Logitech Extreme 3D Pro question, BMS 4.35
=VG= Kavelenko replied to Herkyman's topic in Joysticks/Devices
There's three of us flying tonight at 14:00:00 ZULU (Check the clock on the home page of this forum), roll up to our Team Speak if you have time and we might be able to help.

Logitech Extreme 3D Pro question, BMS 4.35
=VG= Kavelenko replied to Herkyman's topic in Joysticks/Devices
You might be ok with the default keyfile but if you want access to all the keyboard controls load the full BMS keyfile. Go into the Setup section and check your buttons and trigger actually works when you pull it, S1 or S6 should light up when you do. If that's ok then you are probably not in the correct mode for dog-fighting, that's a guess. This is a proper F-16 flight sim so you don't just jump in the jet and pull the trigger it doesn't work like that, there's a few things you need to know.
-
That's another good reason to buy a TrackIR, as Semler says you can just hold down the scroll button and slide around the arm rest to view it. Or use the keyboard short cut - press SHIFT + . <---that's the full stop key once (Air Source Up). Print out the keyboard layout which is found in your docs folder of your BMS installation. You'll find a lot of documentation in that folder including the BMS tutorials, and other manuals. The directory to this file is something like: C:\Falcon BMS 4.35\Docs\01 Input Devices\01 Keyboard Layouts\Full, here's a copy for ya. BMS Keyboard Layout (US Int).pdf

Have you tried it in DogFight Mode? Press D on the keyboard DF Override, then pull the trigger and see what happens. I am assuming you are using the full BMS keyfile. -
Airlift & AirToAir Rearm/Repair, Your Thoughts?
=VG= Kavelenko replied to =VG= XOR's topic in Project Reality
Great ideas nonetheless, ok how about this scenario for Coop? Take the Goose Green map and develop a Harrier vs Mirage map, pure Air to Air combat only. Some of the best dogfights I've had in PR have been on the Falklands Vehicle Warfare maps, it is awesome when you can fly against 10+ jets, pure chaos but a helluva lot of fun! -
Airlift & AirToAir Rearm/Repair, Your Thoughts?
=VG= Kavelenko replied to =VG= XOR's topic in Project Reality
The last time I looked its the PR Devs who make decisions about these things. Have you asked Melon and FastJack about these ideas they should know whether they'd fly excuse the pun. There was talk of players being able to fast rope from choppers in PR, still waiting for that welcome addition. -
To be honest this PR server has not changed that much since I came here. Players come and go, VG members also come and go, so there's no recipe that will make our server the "perfect" environment. Singling out admins because they don't quite fit your own "sense" of how PR should be played is a pretty subjective thing to do. It takes all sorts to run a team, squad and its not going to suit everyone on EVERY map or situation. As far as I know those players Sciddles complained about have not broken any rules, until they do its unfair to imply that they do not deserve to be here. We have a competent team of admins who are answerable to our admin guidelines which are comprehensive, and we look into any "serious" complaints about our admins but please check your opinions against our rules before you accuse other players of "un-acceptable" behaviour. Our rules cover most in game incidents that occur but admins also have more information that helps them to make decisions about situations that fall into grey areas. We are all brothers in arms, lets just get on with it and play the game. Cheers.
