Have you been enjoying the ground pounding? I’m too busy these days for video making, but maybe later this year.

Ok Boomer

You’ve trimmed the pitch and it still does this? There seems to be a bug where I get a violent pitch up or down as I accelerate or decelerate through certain speeds (these speeds vary based on altitude maybe) but most of the time it’s stable enough if trimmed. Something’s probably broken w/ the flight model, or maybe it’s something about stability augmentation modeling in BMS I don’t understand and am using wrong.

ua-cam.com/video/Jv59Choyw6Y/v-deo.htmlsi=4uHMoahuRpNMRwpW The beauty of a sparrow fired with no lock in BST is I should be able to crank up to the radar gimbals and fire a SECOND sparrow at a second bandit. So I wasn’t in STT- I decided that some I’m facing 2 bandits with one behind the other by a couple miles, I’ve want Jester to “track” both bandits till within visual range on the closest guy. I was hoping I could bag them both - killing the trail bandit just before he passes me in the merge. Pulled it off in a previous flight.

Look for F4E and the “WSO” category of controls. This is a list of controls you can map so you can work the backseat controls from the pilots seat. Check for fine gain increase and decrease, antenna elevation up/down

@@Wheelman_PCAS thanksss

@@_MertT fo sho

that button is for uncaging sidewinder seekers just before firing. the Cage button is what enters cage mode, a 5 mile range radar setting which allows the WSO to lock something in your pipper, or the pilot to enter auto acquisition mode by then pressing the nose gear steering button to attempt an auto lock. Here I'm just entering cage mode, putting the pipper over a visual target, and firing a sparrow with no lock. The missile interlock switch must be in the "out" position, and the aspect knob in the back seat must be in the proper position - watch other flood mode tutorials about this

I’m calling it “boresight” but technically the WSO hasn’t selected the actual boresight switch position from his seat. Kinda an override from the pilot seat but this should be called “cage mode” as I understand

The manual is bare bones! Surprised they didn’t have a dedicated person put something together for the release.

It really is. I know there are a lot of pages but there isn’t a lot ON each page. One page for a picture of a switch and a description. I get though, that this was done to allow for the in-game manual “pop up” - which is VERY helpful. I just wish the manual would explain how certain features should be used and why you would want to use them (instead of just the switch to activate it).

There’s a number of steps - did you look up Enigma’s video on “flood mode”?

The thing is the minimum cost of +200$ (not counting the gear to play good, hotas and track ir)

I’m sorry I don’t know the answer- I haven’t looked into it yet and won’t for a while due to moving house! Check the forums tho.

@@Wheelman_PCAS Don't worry, I found the answer, apparently the keyfile I had was just incomplete. While I have the commands now, apparently they don't work as seamless as they do for the viper on my stick. Thanks for the reply though!

Do you know if the F is more accurate/ reliable? My practice has been for flying in eras when that's all there is.

@@Wheelman_PCAS Yes, the Aim-7F is an improvement over the E model but i don't find its by a whole lot. The Aim-7M variant that came out in 1982 is a VERY capable missile and performed excellently in the 1991 Gulf War. They are deadly in that 2-5 mile range. Doesn't mean it hits all the time but it is reliable enough that - if you are using the systems properly, you should have no problem taking out head-on approaching aircraft 5-6 miles out. If you are consistently having Aim-7M missiles fail to track/impact, then you are likely doing something wrong. I advocate using the variant that is realistic for the time period; BUT, when it comes to learning the system, use the variant that lets you know when you are doing it right. You have no idea if your Aim-7Es aren't ever hitting b/c of your error or the missile failing, Makes correcting errors tough

@@mikeck4609ah ok. Reminds me of the shrike in the A4 and also this plane. But hey at least the E can be fired in boresight without a lock to scare people before the merge.

Cheers!

Had not learned about lockless sparrows yet! This is awesome!

Yes hence why the backseater counted to 4

@@SkyDawg91 DCS World - F4 Phantom poor man’s TWS mode ua-cam.com/video/Jv59Choyw6Y/v-deo.html Splashed 2 with it here!

I wonder, not sure! They would certainly have a better chance of surviving if there wasn’t any SHORAD left

​@@Wheelman_PCASyes It makes sense of course. And also, in the worst scenario, it is better having our ground forces to deal with truck and support units than them. So, it could be a win-win anyway.

​@@xagremnightyndale673 The campaign engine definitely detects, when a SAM radar has been disabled.Maybe it detects destroyed SHORAD (Sa-13, Shilka...) Either way, this would make A2G flights, together with CAP/Sweep, more likely. It does depend on the overall situation and how the AI has set priorities (if kept to "set by HQ"). The AI is somewhat smart about this and you should see regular CAS/BAI packages in "cleared" areas.

@@fonesrphunny7242 thanks! This is very interesting. I am always looking for ways to be effective for the campaign engine and stimulate its planning to push the action. Any suggestion is appreciated

I’d say BMS still is hungry for all the CPU hz and cache you can give it. But cpu upgrades are at least affordable.

@@Wheelman_PCAS It depends on the Motherboard and how upgradeable it is to see how cost effective would be. But yes, that's an option.

@@thejetfighter yes I just think about the 4090 and the wide gap in affordability between that and almost any other piece of hardware!

I learned to check the stability of the ASE circle/ dot. It jitters all over the place when you’ve locked something spurious. If you have a good lock it seems to steady out pretty quickly. Also I think the In Range lamp lights up and goes dark randomly as you can kind of see here.

Well, I hope you haven’t found anyone in the community to be particularly rude or offputting, majority of people seem very cool, and there are these very casual pick up flights on Sundays and Saturdays with the UOAF. Casual, but leaning towards MILSIM.

@@Wheelman_PCAS it hasn't been any negative interactions but Ive gotten extremely unlucky with only finding dead forums/groups and/or groups operating outside of my availability. I also didn't have any guidance for where to find people so I'll look into who you mentioned

That’s a great way of putting it. It has a bones or a frame. A sandbox is fun but all that sand doesn’t hold shape for long.

Good question, also, why are RL wargames not called war simulations?

I still always get a little hop on Landing unless I really really really really grease it, but after I understood the stabilized approach, I never crash landed again, or floated too far

Excellent! I wonder if I’ll ever get bit by that rotary bug. Gotta follow where the passion leads!

I tried and actually it was about the same, maybe…? I hooked up quick in DCS but found myself using the same way I had to in bms- I think a lot of it is flying at the boom instead of by the lights like in the viper. Just surprisingly different technique

Vipers easier in bms than dcs for sure- have you tried both? I heard bms simulates a change in input sensitivity when stuck on the boom.

@@Wheelman_PCAS No, I haven't flown in BMS for years, maybe I'll try it soon, I'm waiting for 4.38. I think that tanker lights are more visible in BMS, and the lack of boom physics in DCS is annoying.

I think you could use the RL chart or adjust a little if needed

ru.flyua.net/images/charts/UGTB.pdf - a 2011 chart that shows some different headings and elevations vs. DCS Tblisi chart - which is also not current?? DCS chart shows runway 12R not 13R. Anyways this has a 17.1nm DME arc @ 6700' from the VOR on page 11. Finishes the arc at 14.5 DME - right about where I wound up by winging it except I was very high up!

@@Wheelman_PCAS cool! I will have to give this a shot! Thanks dude

@@briantoplessbar4685 I have flown DME arcs before in BMS, but never really tried fiddling with the course dial like you’re supposed to - stepping constantly thru different radials as you fly the arc. Will have to try it as well

@@Wheelman_PCAS yep in BMS I just set the final approach course after I intersect the IAF and fly the DME arc till I get till I hit turn to final. Preety much just keep correct distance and that’s it I guess I need to map my course knob!

I was just about to say the same thing. Thanks. Been looking for a video about how the ILS works in the Phantom and this is the first one I've seen

I understand, and I think a lot of my optimism comes from being a new player. BMS team doesn’t make promises that I’ve seen- or at least one that can’t keep.

Hi are you suggesting to show the path in another video like in Tacview?
