"why are there so many MiG-21s in Missouri?" They heard that KC Borscht was "Bomb A$$"!!!!! This dude flew all the way in from SpangQuentin for a bowl of that "Slap yo momma soup."

If the ground crew could do something, ... it would be nice.

your sir are a damn steely eyed missile man! i also had been basing off of Metrea Simulations pics of their virtual plane (via artstation); thats proven not to be too accurate oddly enough https://www.artstation.com/artwork/zDgdG6 photos for the sides have been good though im pretty comfortable with the colors as they are now, and have to make some adjustment due to model (like both side airbrakes being mapped to the same spot) but overall this is way more than what ive had so far just the blurry pic alone should get it dialed in abit more. once im done with medical emergencies and the 100th ARW in 1998..........

The latest iteration of the Tommo Inc Falcon 4.0 total conversion modification - Benchmark Sims 4.37 U3 - is available for you to enjoy RIGHT NOW with some major changes ( See change log below) BMS 4.37 U3 requires a legit installation of a Falcon 4.0 (all older and newer versions are accepted alike, i.e. Microprose, Hasbro, GOG, Steam, Retroism). The check is performed both at setup time and every time you start BMS. If no valid installation is found, BMS will exit with a corresponding error message. For those of you who are new to Falcon and still need a legacy Falcon 4.0 license, you’re lucky, as there are various season sales going on. Retroism GOG If you have already installed BMS 4.37 Full Installer you will need to launch the “updater.exe” in Falcon BMS root folder (or from the new launcher). Alternatively, you can use the offline incremental installer available on the Falcon BMS Download page. This mod may not be used for any commercial purposes. Any such use may constitute a violation of the intellectual property of Tommo Inc and the non-commercial Terms and Conditions under which Benchmark Sims make this mod available to you. After the update, when starting BMS, the version string in the BMS UI will now read: FALCON BMS 4.37.3 (X64) BUILD 1329 CHANGELOG https://www.falcon-bms.com/changelogs/falcon-bms-4-37-3/ A big THANK YOU to everyone in the BMS development team and to the gents from TOMMO INC who made this release possible!

we'll his hearts in the right spot, but he needs help from folks that are way more knowledgable than most in this conversation that said, i suspect that a few amongst us have dug deep like he wants, but for whatever reasons arent sharing. there are sometimes avionics or other DLL questions that get answered yet seem like some stuff is held back.....

I truly believe so. What I want to clarify is that I'm not saying dog fights happen all the time. Modern birds and weapons can indeed ensure that warfighters avoid getting into dog fights, but it still has a probability of happening. (especially in games) So this has been mentioned, one of my favorite things to do in SF2 is to lead 3 F-22 Raptors, intercept those Sukhois dozens of kilometers away with 120s, and let the Allies do their job, then keep quiet , stay alert, I think this is what they are best at in reality, but they have never had the chance to practice it (We don’t want this situation to happen either).Of course, the most regrettable thing is that we cannot have a data link... Now it's time for me to close my eyes and dream of a Strike Fighters Game with modern electronics

Yep, it's truly a lazy bunch.

not unless the US and China get into it (which we dont want real world...) or rules of engagement prevent the long range shot. but between AWACS, COMINT/SIGINT and the better reliabilty of fighter avionics and weapons, the USAF and USN can deliver on what was promised in Vietnam; consistent BVR kills really funny is that the F/A-18E that got a kill in Syria tried AIM-9X first, then extended and switched to AMRAAM when the Winder got spoofed by flares... yes the 9X.

Well most of the engagements are set up to be dogfight only, given that BVR fights do exist, so in some cases you will be shot down instead, there is always a chance you'll get in close.

gettin back on track at Mildenhall....

oh, just remind me that i have 90 of the 388th serials figured out, although not which one goes to which squadron why dont you. In fact, while youre at it why dont you give me a nice paper cut and poour some lemon juice in it? heres an early Viper, many years later you ever strafe something just to see what the damn thing is?

Revised upload!

you could go back to Nam, or you could head to the Gulf. ya know ala the latest ODS 30th Anniversary..... mandatory screenie, or get away from my wingman

First rotation in South East Asia ended with 40 missions. On my 36th, I spotted an An-2 over our target and gave it a blast from my M61. Towards the end of July and through August there were more MiGs and more SAMs. I'll be volunteering to go back.

Hey, I think you're a little misunderstood on this one. What I mean is that it is not necessary to simulate like DCS or BMS, but to see how they evolved from the original Falcon4.0 to F4 BMS.

Ten years ago... the ultimate TW update ! Updating the current avionics shouldn't be a disgrace given the time our community members spend supporting and improving this game from 20 years. P.

The Swiss Mirages do look good.....but there's just something about the French ones in silver.

This is a quick reference guide for what all the different "***Type=" Numbers mean when editing Weapons. It's primarily for people who are used to editing ini's rather than Newbies but hopefully it'll help both. I got some of the information from posts on here and some from playing about with the TW weapons editor but if you spot anything wrong let me know and I'll get it changed.

Please consider using GuidanceType=2/3 (CGR) as a work around instead for Large Single Pylon Missiles or GuidanceType=1 (WGR) for smaller weapons that may require Rack mounting (ATR). The GuidanceType doesn't affect the WeaponDataType so both a LGB GBU-12 (WeaponDataType=0) and an EOGR Laser AGM-65 (WeaponDataType=1) use the same GuidanceType (GuidanceType=4 Laser). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***EDIT 07 Jan '12 - Changed GuidanceType=??? section slightly to include AllowedWeaponClass acronyms and new WGR data.
