This channel focuses on combat flight simulators like DCS World and IL-2 Great Battles. If you play either of these games or flight simulators like Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and enjoy aviation and dogfighting then this channel is for you. Even if you are coming from War Thunder and BF2042, you can learn to fly these combat flight simulators.
I play using TrackIR5 and do not use VR, this means that I am able to capture footage for tutorials, how-to-guides and other multiplayer tips and tricks video in 1440p.
Eagle Dynamics has made it easier than ever to learn DCS because the game is technically free. The game has the F-15, F-16, Su-27, Mig-29, Mig-21, Mig-19, Mig-15, F-86 Sabre, Jf-17, Mirage 2000, F-18 Hornet and F-14 Tomcat. There are soon other modules coming such as the Mig-23 and F-4. Lastly, there are helicopters like the Mi-24 Hind and AH-64 Apache.
The same is also true for IL-2 Great Battles. With Battle of Stalingrad, Battle of Kuban, Battle of Bodenplatte, Battle of Moscow and Battle of Normandy being released, there is an immense amount of variety covered. The Bf-109, Fw-190, P-51, Tempest, P-47, Mc.202, Stuka, Ju-88, He-111, and so on are all in the game. I focus on making videos to make that part accessible so you can dive into IL-2 Multiplayer. - Ігри
The release of this module is genuinely a really big deal and arguably one of the biggest things to be released to the public this year. The future for BMS looks bright and this is the first step. If you haven't played BMS yet you are simply missing out, it is the best place to experience to Gen 4.

Was a pleasure helping you with this video! I hope you continue to enjoy and fly BMS, and I will see you in the skies! ✈️✈️
One point of clarification I want to make. have noticed that how information is articulated in BMS is very different than in DCS. I don't think one is better than another, I just think its just different. In DCS, everything is very scripted, so people want to do know how to do X and expect information to be presented in a checklist. In BMS, the scenario is much more dynamic and pushes you so the information is presented more about how the systems work, rather how to just execute X. This difference is what I suspect is tripping up a lot of DCS players from expanding their horizon and jumping over into BMS. I do not identify myself as just a DCS player or just a BMS player or just an IL-2 player, I see myself as a flight simmer and I think jumping into each of them is good and I would encourage others to do the same. This niche is too small to be tribal about things and after all the BMS team consistently pushes out new content that no on else is doing.
I think what you mean is that DCS makes set procedures where as BMS relies on the community to work stuff out . This does not mean what you think it does, there is always more than one way to do something in both sims just because DCS gives you a procedure doesn't make it the only way, heck even the Su25T has procedures you can perform for better results that are not explained in the manual.
The only thing not scripted in BMS is the campaign. Like BMS, DCS is a huge beast, don't let your lack of knowledge on DCS run your script.
I’m a huge F-15C fan, and BMS is making a high fidelity version before ED, which is mind blowing
One note … it’s very standard to enter “guns mode” , which is a slewable auto acq mode out to 20 miles vs super search at 10. Also, there is a long range boresight mode out to 40
Not sure if BMS has modeled this yet
@@MultiVeeta There is a manual in BMS but how it reads is just very different from DCS. In DCS it is more organized how to do X vs how to do Y. The BMS manuals read a bit different, they focus more on the systems on themselves and not so much on the specific action.
@@haackhaack4217 BMS only has the 10nm auto acq mode. Even SS which should go out to 40nm is limited to 10nm
Thanks for linking to some of my videos and covering more topics in a different teaching style. We are all in this together so creating videos in different ways will build the community and allow more people to learn in the the way they learn best. Looking forward to flying the Eagle just like everyone else.
One important comment. BMS uses both BRAA and Bullseye calls. It depends on the distance . If contact is close (less than 30 NM IIRC ) awacs will call braas, else it will call bullseye. Of course the awacs will say at beginning of each call which system is use . Like falcon 11 target is braa 180 23 nm. Or falcon 11 target is bullseye 123 145
Congrats to the BMS team!
If BMS can add some Redfor aircraft I’ll 100% make the jump. It’s amazing how many little QOL features BMS has that DCS is sorely lacking, such as a functional ATC. DCS desperately needs to work on core feautures or it’s days are numbered.
It has a MiG-29.
It's really something that the ATC is much better than in DCS. Impressive game.
Thanks for making more BMS videos! Be advised the f15c RWR is bugged for ramp starts and so taxi or runway start is the only way to get spike/ ARH missile homing tones. Cheers!
If i was ED I would start getting really scared, not just because Microprose reacquired the Falcon IP but also because of what heatblur is doing with the Phantom which isn't just another module, what would happen if Heatblur joined Microprose to make a new sim based on Falcon 4 but with a more modern engine and an update dynamic campaign, and lets not forget the fact that Heatblur's F-14 is already in MSFS 2020, what would happen if Microsoft decided to make a new Combat Flight Simulator to compete with DCS.
Then ED would have to actually start working and DCS would be all the better for it. With absolutely no competition at all they have no incentive to get anything done in a timely manner. We've been whining about the AI for 10 years now and they still just add bandaids instead of fix it from the ground up. Modules take 5-7 years to release in Early Access. Modules remain in Early Access indefinitely.
Since Microprose actually announced Falcon 5 I would LOVE it if third party developers who worked with ED left and joined them instead. Falcon 5 could become something else entirely rather than another F-16 Simulator, forcing competition with DCS World.
A little tip for new BMS players that I learned on my very first flight. If you STT lock a target they will turn and run immediately making it so you aren't going to be able to launch on them reliably. If you are going to STT lock make sure you are close enough that your Aim-120 or Aim-7 will have a good chance of hitting if they turn and run. Otherwise, stick to TWS and take the chance of losing the track.
I started to play FBMS recently and I just love the game design. The dynamic campaign and lots of planning, lots of thinking, lots of tactics. And the fun part - mission execution - is just the cherry on the top.
Full-fi F15 A/C was my biggest dream for DCS. F16 dominating BVR in DCS for the past 6yrs or so gets on my toes.
And no I fly the F15E and even when it gets datalink it wont be on top in BVR.

Good work and quality content! Thank you for supporting BMS🍺
BMS be praised !
Good stuff and thank you for the time to put this video. Nice to see the hundreds of hours put on the development of these new airframe were worth it and community is enjoying it.
Fantastic video man! I’m definitely going to invest some time in the F15C after this
Literal game-changer. Got a new plane to learn it seems!
Great video on BMS! I'm not interested in the F16 which has ultimately kept me from trying it. Now that the Eagle is in the game I'm much more interested in trying it out because the dynamic campaign looks incredible. Once they get the new ground textures that were teased I'll be installing it for sure.
Awesome!
Great video keep it up. Perhaps more on the Eagle after U4?
Very nice.
the thing that kept me from going into bms is that horrible keybinding menue. from the looks of your video it can be done now inflight? or was that just an overlay for the video?
I've RTFM and only gotten some answers. You're helping a lot! Also, I know from ODS stories there's supposed to be some "Autoguns" mode. Is that same as "Supersearch"?
Great video, small question, do you know if there is there a reason why you can enter tws direcly from search in f15c bms but cannot in f15e dcs (need to mini raster and acq switch down)?
I don't fly the F-15E in DCS so I cannot answer that, I haven't flown modern in DCS since I found BMS. I would imagine they made improvements over time. Also note NDTWS and TWS are noted as different things in the F-15C manual.
You can do it in F15E too, you just need to be in actual NDTWS mode already. You press tdc to get miniraster on empty space and then acq fwd to get into either 3HDT or 4TWSH mode and then if you bug a contact it will be already in TWS mode. Then you can un-bug the contact by going boat switch aft which gets you back to NDTWS. Acq down brings you back to RWS.
It's very likely that the way how DCS models it is the actual behavior of the jet, because the TWS / RWS isn't type of 'lock', it's a radar mode. Also NDTWS stands for 'non-designated track-while-scan' so it makes no sense to designate a contact to enter it
The way the F-15E radar is modelled in DCS is as close to bang on as you can get without being sketchy. From what I read and heard from different books and Eagle drivers on podcasts, there are small differences between the APG 63 and APG 70 in the operation. Some of this is due to the 4 inch display on the C model vs the 6 inch display on the E model. Also different blocks/suites did things slightly differently over time.
It's because the radar modes for the F-15C in BMS are still being worked on. Currently there is only LRS Long Range Search. So they have made it simple and easy to use for now while they get it sorted out. Just give it time and the F-15C radar will work as it does in the real thing.
Wait, there's a full fidelity F-15C in BMS?
yes
Do they have plans for JHMCS and 9x?
9X is already in the game and the F-16 already has JHMCS.
Is it as mappable as a DCS jet ? Can we map our Mfd’s to the jet ?
Yes
Thoughts about development of an F-111 for DCS?
That game needs work not modules.
It would greatly help BMS to be able to mix keyboard and joystick buttons for binds.
BMS has the groundwork to be the best, I'm not sure how hard it would be to improve the graphics. The AI models have more variety and they look better than DCS already in most cases. The DCS AI models should have been updated or deleted by now. It's not fun flying a nice looking F-16 next to an ugly C-17.
Desperate need for a BMS Tomcat.
How do you install F15?
It comes with 4.37.3
bullseye and all that stuff is in DCS too, u just never play modern in DCS haha
Bullseye is useless in DCS
@@Enigma89 how?
@@Enigma89 Yeah enlighten us as to how its useless please? I played BMS all the way up to 4.34 then swtiched to DCS. I am a retired Hornet Instructor with NATO transfers on F16s, M2000s and Tornados. All I hear from you is hate towards DCS in all honesty.
@@Enigma89 bullseye works just fine in DCS, been using it for over a decade.
Also you can have bra calls from AWACS in BMS as well.
Just stop hating man.
@@MetaliCanuck The vast majority of the DCS player base doesn't understand how to use it. I can't think of a single populated server that uses bullseye. I realize this is not what you want to hear but that is just how the DCS community operates. This channel focuses on *actionable* information, things that are actually relevant when playing.
On a final note, to be fair to the DCS community, I can see why they mostly use BRA for everything, it's because they have eras that go across a much longer timespan than BMS. BRA is more flexible for WWII an dearly cold war stuff.
the 90s called - they want their flight sim back
lol
Well the same can be said about DCS at the end of the day.
Bro.... DCS is from the 90s... It's older than Falcon 4.0 which is what BMS uses. DCS started as Flanker which released in 1995, Falcon 4.0 released 1998.
You just shit on yourself.
lol "full fidelity" and "bms" don't belong in the same sentence 😂
Go back to your "sim" and quit hating
Please take your troll pills.
You're having a relapse...
BMS now has the only full fidelity F-15C on the market today.
Lol your getting shit on keep on hatin cuz you lost houndreds of dollars on unfinished modules😂😂
bms = weak FMs
Why'd you watch this video old man? Didn't your doctor warn you about your high blood pressure?
You have really no idea of what you are talking about . Why are you even commenting something you don’t know
