Great tutorial! I just loaded BMS and I have to learn everything over again. I bought F3.0 then 4.0 and got pretty good at both; but I feel the level of complexity of this is far beyond 4.0.

@EJ109 8 лет назад

Awesome tutorial, since I'm getting back in Falcon 4.0 BMS after years of not playing this sim. These tutorials are a huge help. Thanks again

@KerboOnYT 8 лет назад

I haven't flown an F-16 sim since Falcon 4.0 was new and these tutorials are a HUGE help. Thanks for putting the effort into making them.

@blz346 12 лет назад

I just started playing BMS for the first time a few days ago and this video is an enormous help to me. Please keep up the basic tutorials for some of the new guys!

@brendonmcaliece9706 9 лет назад

Thanks for all your tutorials. They have been a huge help. Really enjoying falcon now I can complete missions. Great work. :)

@MrMontanaNights 10 лет назад

Great tutorial! I just started with BMS last night and your explanation is great, thanks a bunch!

@MrMontanaNights 10 лет назад

BTW, it took me like 2 hours last night to figure out why the heck I couldn't contact the tower and remove chocks. Should have watched your tut first, LOL.

@BillSirKill 12 лет назад

THANKS!! Been Flying F4 and F4:AF since 1998... decided to jump into bms.. Your Tuts are great!!

Hey Dude! I certainly don't know weather you're a pilot professionally, however, you're the best instructor I've had so far. Thank you so very much for such a detailed and briefed explanation, undoubtedly to be a through explanation with an intensive guide. I was long enough trying to find out this blast of information, and here I got it. Thank you once again.

@mfrank15 12 лет назад

Thanks for the vids! Well done and to the point. Something I noticed as I was setting up my countermeasures programs, was that the time intervals (both of them) would only take the number 5 or 0. If I pressed any other number, '5' would show up.

@CHECK6-963 9 лет назад

Krause you're confusing "Bogey Dope" with "Picture." Bogey dope is flight or aircraft specific and is in BRAA - Bearing Range Altitude. Hot is always assumed. "Picture" is for all players and is actually the Big Picture. This is a very good tutorial. I'll be happy to answer any questions I can.

@Jellybeantiger 12 лет назад

I've downloaded all these. Gonna watch these for a few months before I start Falcon because my memory is hopeless.

@VOLTRIZZZLE 11 лет назад

Great video, taint. I find it helpful to set the joystick axis deadzone to "none"in Controllers - > Advanced -> Flight Controls. This is especially helpful for aerial refueling. A deadzone creates an area in the center that you have to push through before the joystick takes effect. This plays havoc with formation flying and refueling ops. Your joystick's drivers may also have deadzone or "axis shaping" that needs to be turned off or adjusted.

@openflanker 8 лет назад

cracking video and awesome to see someone with the same stick as me. QQ. How do you zoom the TGP? I have the pinky switch mapped to a button on the stick.

@Lb8068 11 лет назад

Damn, well thanks for the speedy response anyway.

@theaceofspades485 8 лет назад

I don't have a stick or a HOTAS (I will get one) the time being I'm just trying to learn a full ramp start. Is there any way to move the throttle with keyboard?.

@musicduct 12 лет назад

Really nice of you to do this. I started with BMS a few weeks ago and have gone through many training sessions using the original Falcon 4.0 manual. But some things are different in BMS and makes that a bit difficult. Right now I struggle most with getting radio contact with airfields and landing using only instruments. is there some charts online to the airbases frequenzees?

@SimoWise 10 лет назад

can you tell me Gear up/dn how to roll Left/Right/Up/Dn how to yaw Left/Right/Up/Dn inc/dec speed full +-speed

@AGenericAccount 9 лет назад

Is there any way to make modifiers for the 3D pro, like DCS?

@tanit 12 лет назад

@musicduct Google Korea map for navigation in BMS 4.32 - it's an interactive online map where you can click on all the airbases and it brings up tower freq, ils, runway headings etc

@makismakiavelis5718 9 лет назад

Hello, Great tutorial! Can you combine keyboard and joystick buttons like in DCS? For example for A-10C i have "alt+POV LEFT=DMS LEFT", "ctr=POV LEFT=TMS left" "win+POV LEFT=Slew TGP left" etc

@MrAlexrodz 10 лет назад

Im using Saitek X52 and i cant get my throttle to work with this it always maps the slider on the throttle any suggestions ?? Thanks

@hackerisslv 12 лет назад

What is your chaff/flare burst and sequence interval on program 4? and would you recommend it for a10c medium altitude CAS ?

@Sinbad683 9 лет назад

WOW, I used to fly with the Freebirds VFW with the standard SP3 or SP4 (I forgot which, it's been years). I just recently got back into F4 and I was beginning to think the DMS hat switch controls weren't working along with the CMS LOL.

@Lb8068 11 лет назад

Hi Krause, do you know how to clear the command a button is binded too? For example if button 6 is binded to dogfight mode is it possible to "clear" it so that button 6 does nothing? I started getting into my flight stick profiler and I need to clear the binding for it to work properly, if that's any help.

@Harlequin43 8 лет назад

How do I invert the throttle axis? Some kind of imbecile appears to have though it would be a good idea to leave it without the inversion checkbox. How do I make all axes works on my joystick, trottle and pedals? The settings allow to choose only one device for axes.

how do you get the fcr to work when u switch modes

hello.how are you karuse. how to move the head of the pilot under and above because there are buttons I can't see it

@HaveGunWillTravel15285 Год назад

Thank you Krause, awesome info. I have to ask my mouse is messed up. The standard set: the large plus curser was in middle of screen and mouse worked by passing over switches and knobs , left button turn off ,right button turn on . This is no longer now you have hold the right button down and try moving it over console ,it’s to hard to do and still fly , how do I reset mouse?

@ArcherAC3 11 лет назад

Is it Logitech extreme 3d stick good? I was thinking about buying it, but it's throttle keeps moving I see. And, btw, is it DeadZone good?

@tanit 12 лет назад

@TheNewDivide91 Yep, just go into 3d view mode by pressing 3, then right click and slew around.

@ulisses_vanio 3 года назад

Good night my friend. How do I communicate with my A.L.A playing offline since I don't know how to set the radio to talk to him

@MrMontanaNights 10 лет назад

To anyone that has questions about what the tower frequency is if you aren't setting it up in the data cartridge, or are diverting to a different airfield that you don't have programed in, you can manually change the frequency while in flight using the DED. If you look in the Documents folder in your BMS installation folder there are several checklists and the manuals. The main manual (currently Dash-34), has a list of the "blue force" airfield freqs. Clear skies and good tailwinds all!

@getous 12 лет назад

What happened to the image you were gonna attach about the default radio channels? GREAT tutorial btw ;>

@hydrohornet558 8 лет назад

Will your data cartridge download work in 4.33?

@ArcherAC3 11 лет назад

Uh, can't I choose how many flares\chaffs I want to take to the mission? Like a Total? Or it's always like the max. number of countermeasures for every mission?

@MustNotRead 12 лет назад

does anyone know how to adjust the mouse sensitivity for the 3D cockpit? movement between knobs and buttons is far too slow and i cannot see any settings to configure it in the game

@VarunDaniel 8 лет назад

Hello there Krause, first off, your videos are incredible! Keep up the real good work. I have a request though, I bought a logitec attack 3d pro, so I was wondering if you could share your profile file with me, I found the profile you use for dcs a 10c but unfortunately wasn't able to find one for falcon 4.thanks in advance good sir

@Warbirdguy1 6 лет назад

How can I see friendly wingman locations on the HSD? I saw someone did it a while ago.

@farishamdy 6 лет назад

It's done through a data link between aircraft, it's fairly simple to set up. Have a look at Krause's Data Link video, it's got a great explanation on all of it's features.

@victor-emmanuel7485 8 лет назад

Hello, just getting into BMS... Could you make a video about the "how to fly multiplayer"? How many servers are there? How populated are they? Do they have passwords and is a certain skill level required to join? I'm really into BMS, I come from DCS, but that sim really isn't optimized very well for my computer... I also like the f16 more as a platform. Also, what would be the best graphics setup the have the highest fps...yet good visuals? thanks a lot in advance! -Verdi

@-_Nuke_- 8 лет назад

+Verdi I would like that too actualy!

@ApoTroll 11 лет назад

Any idea how I can set up Joystick Buttons as modifiers? For example trim button 6+5+POV Hat? I have a Thrustmaster T-Flight Stick X and it is basically Plug&Play without any macro software. In DCS this works fine but now I am kinda lost. I really want to set it up like in DCS - so I don't need to relearn and even more important unlearn what I brutally practiced in DCS. Now I would also have to forgoe some in my opinion important functions. Sadly no money for a new Joystick, TrackIR hurt bad!

@Amir2Earth 11 лет назад

How do i reset the key to default? Not all keys but just a specific one

@dixievfd55 7 лет назад

I tried this. It will not save my control layout. When I go to load *my* layout, it loads BMS Full instead. Every time. I am using a Thrustmaster HOTAS X. Does that have something to do with it?

@garyjnj1 5 лет назад

Hey Krause, any way to have the data cart set automatically by default for each missions without having to go in and tag every single target each mission? Wouldn't this stuff be set by ground ops and be ready after the pilot briefing? This is a nice to have but seems pretty tedious. Don't have as much time as I used to to fly. Can't imagine having to repeat this for every mission.

@yoker300 12 лет назад

Yah, by the nose wheel steering button it says that Ctrl- Shift/ -"no function assigned" and i cant find the mapping name of the key Pls respond

@JayDKB 8 лет назад

for some reason I can't contact tower when I run the training?

@hassaanahmed5784 8 лет назад

+Jay Johns you first have to set your data cartrige before starting otherwise flares and chaff wont work and you wont be able to contact tower and the displays in the cockpit will not work properly . by the way im also new to this game but i just found this out by watching this channel.

@prince999_ 12 лет назад

do I need a Mouse to control the plane?

@oneworld9071 7 лет назад

just neighborly tip, cap'n krause, it's "brakes" not "breaks". a mass find/replace could work well...... for the killer lists you've done and updated :) GREAT show, man..... thanks, know this is pre-4.33 but absolutely helpful. I've been schlepping an Extreme 3D Pro with weakened solder joints or renegade peanut-butter-n-jelly in contacts; been using Alt/Space for pickle/release til I replace current stick. The point on "apply" AFTER "save"...... does the sequence matter; i've been baffled by some apparent key-bind losses.

+Krause Ive also tried it in the campaign, i had the frequency right and still no response. Btw how do i set the frequency for a aerial refueling training mission?

@andysmarandescu7452 10 лет назад

1. That was an awsome useful tutorial. 2. I set the default uhf for channel 15, I went to fly ramp start and I could succesfully communicate, but when I wanted to fly the landing final aproach mission, I couldn't request my landing clearence? what am I doing wrong? 3. How can I toggle the EWS programs? I tried to do that on the DED but i couldn't succeed.

@playloud90278 9 лет назад

andy smarandescu There is a dial switch in the cockpit. I think you can also assign a HOTAS switch to change the program.

@SONNENKVLT 10 лет назад

Anybody knows how I can assign two joystick buttons as rudder? I have a Logitech Attack 3.

@tanit 10 лет назад

You have to use direct-x shift keys. It's not very easy, you have to manually edit the key files. I'd recommend asking on the BMS forums.

@SONNENKVLT 10 лет назад

Thanks, I downloaded a key editor but as you say is really complex, once I have time to do it carefully I will edit it, thanks.

@tanit 10 лет назад

Franco Soto Yeah it's too annoying for me to mess with so I just don't use shift-keys. It's a shame because I prefer a HOTAS setup but it's too tedious to do. I don't have a thrustmaster or warthog so have to use a few keyboard commands.

@capadham5674 9 лет назад

hi i can`t get a joystick so could i play falcon bms by gamepad please answer me fast

@playloud90278 9 лет назад

Adham Hosney I don't see how you could control the fidelity of a game like Falcon BMS with a gamepad. Refueling in midair would a nightmare. If you want a simple, reliable stick. Pick up a Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro off eBay. I see some for under $10 at the moment. It doesn't have enough buttons to really shine (it's not a HOTAS), but it is an accurate stick, and comes with a dial throttle. Just make sure you get one with the USB adapter.
