@@baptisteteixeira6389 thanks for the advice, I will try to remember to have that running next time!

@@MCP2002 it's really good! I unfortunately had some technical issues during this stream but for the majority of the time it's stable and performs well

@fisgasfighties Nice!!!! Is it pretty easy to set up?

@@MCP2002 yes it's pretty straightforward, just activate it on the launcher, pick either SteamVR or OpenVR.

@@misovfb if you release a weapon and someone else is designating, then no, you don't need to keep the spot, you can completely turn away, look at something else entirely. I just kept it on the target for demonstration purposes.

@@fisgasfighties ok thanks, i was wondering because it wouldnt make much sense because buddy lasing i thought was used so ur buddy fires the laser to a target, you are the one that goes to release the weapon and just turn without nedding to keep.tracking the target so you would be safe from a thread

@@misovfb exactly. Technically you can even drop an LGB on a coordinate without even having the TGP loaded on the aircraft. If course the whole part of spotting the designation won't happen but as long as the laser designation with the correct code is present, it works.

@@nicovelthuijsen I'm glad to be helpful, thank you for watching!

@@nicovelthuijsen thank you! In that situation it's not really relevant, the LST code is the code your TGP will look for if you press the LST OSB, for example in a buddy lasing situation. If not then you can leave it on whatever code you want, the code your own TGP will be emitting on is set on the TGP Code line. If you want to see the LST in action, check out my tutorial about buddy lasing: czcams.com/video/wMoMzHHQcZY/video.htmlsi=XxfStz0G1hG59sls

@@dasdguy7606 thank you for watching!

@@DJeb86 personally I use PRE mode when I have a TGP loaded on the aircraft, I then use that for targeting after slaving thr seeker head to it. I would also use it if the target is stationary like a building or skip that's docked for example. BORE mode I'd use if I don't have a TGP loaded and I'm engaging targets of opportunity, by simply pointing the nose of the aircraft to the general area os the target and then fine tune my targeting. But I think it comes down to personal preference and practice with the different modes.

@@fisgasfighties great thanks for you answer.

@@DJeb86 anytime!

Shift+Home I think

@@VerdadDivinaVerdad thank you! The effect is from IVC which is the primary tool for communications on multiplayer. You can access it on the BMS launcher.

@@cayancesardeoliveira5708 thank you! On the demonstration where I'm lasing for his bombs, I lased the whole time because whenever I'm employing LGBs I'm always trying to prevent any significant deviation that the bomb might experience either due to an imperfect release, with pitch or bank angle, or if significant winds cause it to drift from its intended target area. With lasing the entire time at least when the nose cone is looking at the target area it picks up the designation right away and continuously performs adjustments to its flight path on the way down. I've not experienced any noticeable impact on range while using this method. However, you can absolutely use the method you're describing. You can stop lasing as soon as the other aircraft spots the designation and only resume lasing when the other pilot tells you the bomb is 16 seconds from impact. I hope that made sense.

@@fisgasfighties It makes perfectly sense buddy! Thanks for the answer!

@@NitroViper_1 what about the pretty dudes flying them? Well, at least one of them...

@@Gold_Roberto cool! You've been waiting for this video for a while so I hope it was worth the wait.

@@marcquintin7855 thank you!

Good question, I'm not sure how it is IRL, I'd say it might depend on the block or the specific version for a country. For example, apparently the USAF Vipers weren't equipped to carry Harpoon or at least it wasn't very widespread, but other air forces had most/all of their Viper fleets equipped for this capability. About the Sparrow, this version block of ROKAF Viper can carry 4, and considering BMS' tries to be realistic I imagine it's based on some source.

@@fisgasfighties thanks for the detailed reply!

@@soysauce6977 but like I said, I'm not sure if this is actually the case IRL, you may be right in thinking they were limited to 2.

@@fisgasfighties The bms devs probably know better than me so I’d say it’s probably accurate

@@dasdguy7606 thank you for watching, I'm glad to hear it was useful!

@@Aequitaserz thank you!

@@patmillin thank you! I am planning on doing a ramp start, I think I'll have it out relatively soon. When I'm flying I do it on VR. I do have TrackIR but since I got VR I don't use it. The static views are just for the series.

@@Aequitaserz thank you for watching!

@@dariuszmatt76 in every tutorial? Ouch... I was always under the impression that a wider search area meant less detail, but I guess I may have misunderstood, thank you for the correction!

@@dasdguy7606 thank you for watching!

It's true, with the current terrain it's not easy to make out terrain features and other important things. I'm hoping that when the new terrain is released this will improve.

Thank you! My knowledge of the Harrier in general isn't very extensive and I'm not sure to what extent it's implemented on BMS, so I can at least say it's not on the plans for the near future at least. But never say never!

@outfield1988 this is Falcon BMS. You need to get Falcon 4.0 either on Steam or GOG, it should be quite cheap. Then go to the Falcon BMS page and download the mod: www.falcon-bms.com/

@@Jacobruxo thank you!

@@vikingo3001 thank you so much for your kind words!

@@Thehelldiver I've never used that weapon, I'll have to check how it works

Are you looking for a group to fly with or are you are you asking how to using the multiplayer functionality?

@keidian2048 Thank you for your kind words! @AviationPlus has some really good ones too.

Thank you for your kind words!

@@boysen01 thank you for watching!

@@sturmanaskie if you prefer DCS then by all means go enjoy it.

What advantages does this have over DCS? Is there a bigger community?

@@sturmanaskie I'm not sure about the size of the community, but BMS has a dynamic campaign, implementation of data cartridge which is essential for aircraft like the Viper

Wow, dcs isn't even in the same league as bms. Especially once 4.38 comes out, the gap will be much larger.

@@sturmanaskie Almost everything, as far as fixed wing jets are concerned. Compared to DCS F-16: More accurate avionics, flight model, failures, missile behavior, radar behavior, stores over-G, more customizability, better AI be it flight, combat, ATC, tanker etc., dynamic campaign engine with things like logistics, an actual working IADS, early warning radars, more accurate datalink and AWACS, it goes on. Oh and a high-fidelity F-15C. Soon F-15E as well among others. It's also really easy to frag missions and host a session. Far better performance too. DCS has, when it's not entirely broken, better FLIR modeling and some graphics features, better cluster munition modeling and...yeah that might be it. And some helos with bad flight models.

@@Privateer91 thank you! This one didn't take me long to do at all because I had already covered the radar usage and missile symbology on other tutorials. My next tutorial might take a few more days to come out, as I'm planning on making it about a more complex topic.

@@MeliokFR thank you!

@@sacobred8400 thank you for watching!

@@RadOTOW I have to admit I'm not the most knowledgeable guy about the best burst altitudes, I don't use clusters very often. What would you recommend?

@@fisgasfighties - Your videos are very helpful, by the way. Well thought out. If you do a little research online, it will reflect the historical comments in the forum in the past about this subject: 2000-2500 feet for relative wide dispersal but possibly less individual damage, 1000-1500 feet for a tighter pattern with greater per-vehicle damage potential. But less than 1,000 feet is far too low to take advantage of the characteristics of this type munition. Also, don't forget the Mk-20D.

@@RadOTOW thank you for the feedback! You're right, I didn't mention the Mk. 20, the variant I normally fly, the blk 52 doesn't carry it I think (or I didn't notice it on the munitions list). I should have checked more variants. About the burst altitude, those settings make sense, I'll pin your comment.

@@ZingueZangue I'm very flattered, but I'm just a guy trying to spread the knowledge and help out. I never thought about that, the autopilot in the F-16 is so simplistic, but I think someday I can do one about it.

@@fisgasfighties You should be proud, short videos, to the point, just perfect. Amazing service to the community. I know they'r but for me I always manage to break then at some point and get "AP FAIL" and have to manually fly for hours.Im probably missing on something. But in any case the videos you'r already provided are amazing just keep doing what you'r doing.

@@ZingueZangue hang on, you're getting an AP FAIL? During normal autopilot operation or is the TFR involved at any point when this happens?

@@ZingueZangue all you do is flick the two switches switches to steering select and altitude hold and you should be good; do not press the button because that's for the TFR

​@@ZingueZangue if you get an AP Fail it means you broke one or more of the AP parameters ( over g, high roll , pitch, low speed, etc. All you have to do to remove the fault is flip the FLCS reset switch and you are good to go.

@@dasdguy7606 thank you for watching!

@@fisgasfighties Yeah. no problem man. I found a tank column in my present campaign and want to use clusters. I say, let me see if Fisgas has something. Cool.

@@dasdguy7606 which one did you use?

@@fisgasfighties I'll use the ones for Hard targets more so than soft.

@@dasdguy7606 good choice

Thank you for your kind words, I'm always happy to hear that they are being useful!

No mods and I didn't mess around with the settings much at all, just activated some od the options in the config program prior to launching and that's it. Update 4 introduced new models for the Viper that look amazing!

​@fisgasfighties can you help me a bit bc I'm new so like what settings did you use and what did you do in config bc I can't find a video anywhere
