@rayanta (and everyone else I missed)  Hello and welcome to the VG Army!  

Hello and welcome to the VG Army!  

In a stunning turn of events, Disney has announced its acquisition of Veterans-Gaming, the world's most premiere online gaming community founded by retired Marine Staff Sergeant BLuDKLoT.  The move is expected to bring a significant influx of capital to the community, allowing for improved servers and services for its members.

But that's not all - Disney plans to leave its mark on the VG community by introducing iconic characters from its vast library as playable models in all VG game servers.  Imagine leading the charge on Muttrah as Mickey Mouse, or pounding the sand in Kashan as Elsa from Frozen.  The possibilities are endless, and VG members are... well, let's just say "excited" to see their favorite Disney characters in action.

When asked about the acquisition, a Disney spokesperson said, "We're thrilled to bring the magic of Disney to the world renowned online group Veterans-Gaming.  Who wouldn't want to play as Buzz Lightyear in a game of Project Reality or Falcon BMS?".  VG members, on the other hand, seem to be taking the news in stride, with one member quipping, "As long as they let us play as The Little Mermaid on our Arma 3 Antistasi server, we're all good."

The acquisition is expected to bring about significant changes to the community, but Disney has assured members that the core values of VG - camaraderie, teamwork, and a healthy dose of sarcasm - will remain intact.  So, if you're ready to join the ranks of VG and play as your favorite Disney character, now's the time to sign up.  Just don't expect to be taken too seriously - after all, it's Disney.

My AVCS family of profiles were designed for VoiceAttack (v1) - these profiles are not tested in VoiceAttack v2, and I have received confirmed reports that they will not function at all in v2.  Please install VoiceAttack (original) if you would like to use any of my AVCS profiles - install the "Steam Legacy Edition":

Hello everyone. My name is Harry but trying to call myself horizon as I could be below or above that when I fly ;). Anyway, I fly mostly DCS and flew a good number of modules there but two of my favorite to fly is the F16 and F18. I am coming from a Carrier group but that was a while ago. Coming back after a long hiatus, I would like to join this bms group and hoping to really get an experience with this sim in a multiplayer setting. 

Hello and welcome!

Hello and welcome to the VG Army!  

What tutorial on here were you referring to?  If you can link what page on Veterans-Gaming website has this tutorial, I may be able to help you.  Not sure what you mean by side-tone in BMS as this should be a possible function of your headset hardware - for example, I have a Logitech headset, and the option is present in its config GUI:

Hello, 

There is a new version U6 released today (12/30/2024).   I've updated mine and now of course I cannot connect to the VG BMS server because the versions don't match. 

According to @CobaltUK who manages the VG BMS Server, about 5 hours ago:
"VG server will update in approximately 12 hrs 6-7 Zulu 31st Dec"

...that said, sometimes it can be longer - so best to check in after a patch/update is released to see if/when our server will be updated to that newest version.

Welcome to the VG Air Force Club!!  See you around!

Is !rp still work?

Yes, of course.

Also, this is not the appropriate forum to post such questions, this is the introductions thread for players who've joined the VG Army.  You could have just asked this in VG Discord.

It's fixed and running now (seems Melon restarted it)

oh could be on my end then . they dont work for me for whatever reason .

Are you running any ad or pop-up blockers?  Are  you clicking on the link, or are you pasting the following link into Discord expecting it to work?

https://veterans-gaming.com/discord/

...because this is a redirect link that resolves (when clicked) to the following valid Discord invite link to our server:

https://discord.com/invite/MXGxmvT

Otherwise, could be an extension or add-on in your browser causing that.  The link works, in fact, has been used a few more times by people since my last screenshot of this:

Nothing we can do if it's a problem on your end, we did our part correctly.

the discord invite link been expired for quiet sometime now .

It absolutely has not ever been expired, and is quite honestly the most highly used invite link to VG Discord out of all of them by a large margin.  Why would I use an invite link that expires for my custom redirect URL target?

...that little "infinity" symbol means it's infinite - doesn't expire; never has, never will.

Hello, I need an admin, what do I do?

You can contact our PR Admins in game, on VG Discord (in the #project-reality channel), or on VG TeamSpeak3.  Please let them know why you are contacting them, what you need, and/or who is causing problems so that we can resolve matters without further inquiries to you regarding the request.

I'm not aware of any existing sources for Free Falcon 5 (or any version).  The sites which hosted these have all been shut down for years and years.  You might try asking around various Falcon or BMS based Discords, maybe someone has a copy still on their PC.  That's probably the best you can hope for - even if you found a torrent, it's unlikely that anyone would still be seeding it.

Best wishes and good luck!

looking for falcon 4 version with easy avionics option...

Falcon BMS has easy avionics options, and an avionics configurator for even more control.

It is the most advanced and developed modification for Falcon 4 and should be the mod you choose for that reason.  Free Falcon is ancient history my dude - there is no comparison to the level of stability and playability which we now enjoy thanks to the BMS developers, some of whom had likely put in work on Free Falcon back when it was a thing.

Also, if you wanted to use an ancient deprecated Falcon 4 mod for whatever personal reasons, you should have no problem locating a download of Free Falcon; a simple google search revealed several legitimate sources for the application when I checked.

If it helps you understand where Free Falcon falls in the myriad of Falcon 4 mods, this is a full graphical history of all Falcon 4 mods including Free Falcon and BMS (of course):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2WKGzHTS65rd251TU1LMU1jWFk/view

FreeFalcon is deprecated, hasn't been in development in nearly 15 years.

If you're looking to get into Falcon 4 full overhaul mods for a modern combat flight simulator of the F-16, you will want to get Falcon BMS 4

If I drop a crate, but hit someone ,what should I do

Apologize....

also: git gud (practice offline or elsewhere)

If it becomes a trending pattern, you may be grounded until you can demonstrate proper use of this asset.  Don't let it come to that.

Hello and welcome!  Thanks for posting an intro - see you around!  

WOW!! Excellent work!  Been wanting to get something like that as a permanent 24/7 server at VG for a very long time, like over ten years ever since I made a mission that had a shooting range and training area in the main base, for whatever. You could task a real mission from the command tent of all sorts, go out as inf, heavy vehicles, etc.

Would be happy to dedicate one of the existing A3 servers to this, if there's one that is rarely or under used - I'm pretty sure a couple qualify.  Cheers and thank you very much!

Hello and welcome!
