Such a great thorough explanation man! Supanova's vids have always been my gold standard of how tutorials should be made - but they are now getting more and more out of date. It's fantastic to have a new set of tutorials which are of the highest quality, and are even a little more practical than some of his!
Thank you so much for the kind words! The way @supanova88 does his tutorials were definitely a big inspiration for how I make mine, and I think it shows. It's an honour to be put in the same quality standard as him.
@@fisgasfighties :) FCR to me was the hardest topic to wrap my head around for some reason. Probably has to do with learning to rely on TWS before it got nerfed, and never using RWS SAM and DTT which the manual didn’t explain well IMO. You are an absolute scholar!
@Wheelman_PCAS I know exactly what you mean, back when I first started it took me ages to understand how the radar works and how to use it effectively. However lately I've not been having much success with taking engaging 2 different targets with RWS SAM. I think it's down to the fact that RWS doesn't generates track data for other contacts than the one you're tracking, even the bugged target seems like more of a "shortcut" rather than accurate target tracking. I'll cover that *spoiler alert* in the next video about the AMRAAM.
Excellent tutorials that set the standard for how a tutorial video should be done! Subbed! As others have noted, with the more recent updates to BMS, many/most of the popular YT tutorials (Krause, Supanova, etc.) are now no longer applicable to the current version. I keep running into this as, after a 20+ year effort to get both a computer and a HOTAS setup that actually works in the sim, I am *finally* getting to enjoy BMS the way I have wanted to for so long (= not needing the keyboard at all in flight). Much of what worked/was standard for older versions simply do not work anymore, so you are doing a great service by making these time-saving videos for those that learn better and faster by doing than by purely reading the numerous BMS manuals. 🍻
Many thanks for this excellent tutorial, which is once again very interesting and didactic - it's a real pleasure to learn from your videos - it's clear, concise and easy to understand step by step - Well done again!
So many radar options! Is there a "workflow" of sorts based on range, i.e. what radar sub-mode do you use when x-miles from target steerpoint;? Do you switch sub-modes when fencing in? When AWACs provides contact info, do you switch to another sub-mode? Etc.
@@Jake-love939 as far as I personally handle the radar, there isn't a "workflow". I use the sub modes situationally. Most of the time I keep the radar in RWS and if I have engage up to two targets at the same time. If for some reason you have to engage more than 2 contacts at the same time, switch to TWS. If you're only engaging a single target, want to use all of your radar energy on it and the target being alerted that you're engaging it by its RWR isn't a concern, then upgrade the contact to STT. If the contact you're trying to engage is getting close to you, under 10nm , consider switching to ACM and try to acquire the target visually. Does that make sense?
Great video but please turn down the music a bit. Not all the way off if you like to keep it, but at times it is as loud as your own voice. Thank you for putting out all the good BMS content, we def need more of that 🙂
I really appreciate your tutorials, they are a great enrichment for the BMS community - but I personally find the background music rather annoying. It tends to distract from the valuable content. Nevertheless, please continue to publish such good tutorials...
Thank you for the kind words and the feedback! There have been a number of people that have been saying they dislike the music. I include it to try mask any background noise my microphone picks up. I think I'll try to leave the next tutorial without the music and see how it goes.
@@michelgibert8690 thank you! On the video after this one I start putting in blue boxes to highlight relevant stuff instead of just wiggling my mouse over buttons and symbology. Took me a while to figure out how to do it in my video editing program but I finally understood.
@@FariyTalePurityAnalyser FCR is not a radar mode in itself, it's just the name of page on the MFD, since FCR is also the page used for the A-G radar modes. Does that make sense?
@@fisgasfighties Absolutely. I'm trying to draw a family tree of master modes and subs. I'll just add a side note for *FCR* saying "MFD page" or something like that. Cheers.
I'm sorry to disappoint you but I can't do Link16 next because I'm still not sufficiently familiar with the operation of the system to provide an accurate tutorial about it. I will do an IDM and IFF tutorial soon, but it won't be the next one. I have other things planned, but I promise I will make one about them.
@@sunrrrise I've been trying it, it's great system however if I'm not mistaken the currently implementation is still missing some essential features. I will make sure of this and if my assessment is accurate I might wait until the next update comes around before doing a tutorial about it.
Take your time...your frequency is averaging a video a week which gives us something to look forward to. The cold thing is that I have been flying Falcon 4 since superpak 1 and I have learned some new things just from your vids.
@@jolunchmeat3518 thank you! I try not to rush the videos, I don't want to put incorrect information on them. But with topics that aren't very complex and/or I'm very familiar with, I sometimes manage to get them out more frequently.
When 4.38 is released with the new terrain I belive it will put BMS at least at the same graphical level as those sims. On other aspects it already surpasses them.

Fisgas saw an opportunity to create content based on 4.37u4. Rumble young man, Rumble!! 😁
It's a great time to make content for BMS, there's so much to talk about, and with U4 it makes the models look so good on the videos!
@@fisgasfighties subscribed.
@@dasdguy7606 awesome! Thank you so much!
Great video but please turn down the music a bit. Not all the way off if you like to keep it, but at times it is as loud as your own voice. Thank you for putting out all the good BMS content, we def need more of that 🙂
Thank you! I'll have a look at the level and try to put it even lower for the next one.

So is FCR the master mode of both CRM and ACM?

@FariyTalePurityAnalyser happy to help!
Solid explanation. However, you should use more visible highlighting than your mouse cursor. It was very hard to see in a phone screen.
I agree, it's something I've been trying to do but haven't figured out how to get it done yet on DaVinci Resolve. I'll keep looking into it.
Please IDM, Link16 and IFF go next!

It's still got the graphic straight line in the horizon, they have to get rid of this if it ever competes with DCS/IL-2 graphically at least.
When 4.38 is released with the new terrain I belive it will put BMS at least at the same graphical level as those sims. On other aspects it already surpasses them.
