There are a few ways to give unrestricted head movement. Are you using head tracking?

A new Pacific theatre of operation World War II era combat flight simulator has started development from Jason Williams who is partnering with Barbedwire studios. Jason is the former CEO of 777 Studios who made Rise of Flight: The First Great Air War series, and the former Executive Producer of the IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles franchise by 1C Game Studios.

I run it in Windows 11 home 64 okay. May not be necessary as these are legacy steps from Vista days. In the shortcut properties (Compatibility tab) ticked: Run the program in compatibility mode for windows 7 Disable Full screen optimisations Run program as administrator. Core game files are not installed in Program files. Make sure you dont have an antivirus program trying to stop the exe running also

Yep agree with that.

But check out those boxes - drool.

Statement today from Benchmark Sims:

Microprose announce they have reacquired the copyright for the Falcon series and sounds like there will be upcoming work along with continuing to work with Benchmark Sims (BMS).

System specs ? possibly gfx driver or hardware problem. (or post dxdiag output) Does same thing happen without mods? (assuming you have any you will have to try moving them out to test) If you create another instance of the game do you get the same problem? Where did you get the game from?

DCS Normandy 2 map released in early access, and discount on WWII fighter modules.

There must be several others - here is one

The latest iteration of the Tommo Inc Falcon 4.0 total conversion modification - Benchmark Sims 4.37 U2 - is available for you to enjoy RIGHT NOW! BMS 4.37 U2 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 4.37.2 (X64) BUILD 521 DISCLAIMER: Do not update over a modded 3D KTO Database, it will corrupt your install… CHANGELOG https://www.falcon-bms.com/changelogs/falcon-bms-4-37-2/ A big THANK YOU to everyone in the BMS development team and to the gents from TOMMO INC who made this release possible!

The Soviet PVO used missiles, unguided rockets and guns - even Tu-128s were used to shoot at them. A lot of missiles of course missed, sometimes a direct hit by the missile was enough. See defending Rodinu vol 2 by Krzysztof Dabrowski. flying directly at a balloon at 60000ft means you have to be fast so getting out of the way is going to be problematic. an off boresight shot was the best way to keep things as cheap as possible.

I shall add your name to the list - that makes you and Streakeagle.

4 kills from 5 shots on objects. Don't know if they were designed for such low heat and slow objects - presumably dependent on heating from the sun to some degree.

Nice - but you need Falcon 4.0 for BMS that you install only for licensing purposes. check out GOG Once installed download the exe from BMS - once installed - if it is not at 4.37u1 then click on the update button on the initial splash screen to auto update. would need to check size but relatively small. No mods needed to start.

I think it may have already been incorporated or was being worked on years back into some mods remember the discussion. It isn't 22,000 lbs because that is the figure for Emergency thrust at sea level flying at Mach 1 (as stated in the manual). MiG-21bis with R25-300 Static max AB output = 6850 kgf Static Emergency / second reheat = 7100 kgf

I take it you have changed the dates on the FA-18F so it is operational in 1956?

Do your other mods you have in there work okay? Are you just replacing an aircraft type with another for a single unit?

Are you putting the files in the correct place ?

Yes they have to do as part of the licensing agreement with Tommo who own the IP currently.

It has been totally standalone for years now - the original Falcon 4 is only required as part of the licensing agreement. When people buy the game from GOG etc they get an exe I think - but you can convert the CD to another format anyway if you only have that (eg iso). BMS has also completely changed the installer this past year from the past Torrent nightmare and is currently offering an exe for 4.37.

Wait and see what pans out really - I think they are just developing one for now. Yes they could export the settings out like TW did - like everything needs time and will to do it. It just goes to show you how much of the source code has been rewritten because if you ever played with the source code like I have............even doing the GUI was major challenge because it was all so entangled with other classes.................. and at the same time you are having to convert it over to use modern C++ syntax and concepts.
