Available NOW on the BMS site.

This is just...jaw dropping. This is it. I will not need another flight sim for the rest of my life.

Oh. My. God!

DoctorQuest · October 30, 2015, 05:35:43 PM

Just downloaded it. See you guys in a month or two. O0

Any advice on how to get your control settings to stick? Everytime I configure my throttle and stick in the advanced flight control settings, I lose my POV hat for view control. When I go to reconfigure my POV hat, I lose all my saved axis settings for the throttle and stick...what gives? I'm pressing "ok" and "save" where appropriate.

Think this might be it...

I don't want you to think I'm ignoring you- I won't be able to download this and play it for a few days at least probably. Can you believe my HOTAS when TU? So until Amazon brings me another, I'm sorta watching on the sidelines.

Man does that trailer look fantastic though. Auto-gen trees! F-4! F/A-18! Harrier! New comms!

I feel your pain. One of the axis plates in my Thrustmaster Cougar snapped. :'( I've had that HOTAS for 15 years

and nothing else feels right. However, this new release just might allow me to get used to the CH replacements Amazon just delivered.

Wow...looks gorgeous! This isn't a game it is a career. :)

If I wanted to play this, what software do I need? Falcon 4.0?

Grim.Reaper · October 30, 2015, 10:12:32 PM

Yep, falcon 4...can pick up at gog if you don't own yet.

I wonder how quickly we could see support for VR headsets that are supposed to be out next year?

It will be the best $10 you will spend for a while.

All you need to do is install F4 then point BMS to the F4 install folder. Works like a charm.

Yes. No need to dig up those old CD's

RyanE · October 31, 2015, 07:58:05 AM

Two questions...can it be downloaded without registering on the BMS site?

...and do the non-F-16 planes still use the F-16 avionics under the hood?

Thanks

Yskonyn · October 31, 2015, 08:12:57 AM

Holy crap!
Thats awesome!!! That trailer is amazing. Buddy lasing made the cut. New weapons avionics.
The guys at Benchmark continue to be a great opponent for DCS.
With the improvements to the graphics they made sure Falcon will remain relevant for a long time to come and if the Ground War has indeed been improved well, I'd argue Falcon might be All we need as serious air combat sim enthousiasts because DCS os taking so freakin long and lacks the whole Dynamic war part.

JH, Controls are funny in BMS. The most reliable thing I've found is to edit the .cfg file of the Controls profile you use in something like Notapad++.
Still, its hard to find which functions do work and no longer work, as the file is riddled with references to old inputs obsolete in BMS.

I am sorry I cant be of any more help.
