Some final notes/tips:
-"DMS Down" Will change which MFD is your SOI.
-"SOI = Sensor of Interest" or which MFD your slew controls are current controlling.
-The Targeting Pod is slaved to your Radar unless you press "TMS Up" to put the pod into "Area Mode"
-Mavericks are also slaved to the Radar while in "Pre" mode. Place the Mavericks into -"Vis" (Visual) mode to have the seeker head look strait forward.
-If you get low on fuel, climb! The F-16 is tremendously efficient at altitude.
-If you can't talk to the Tower, you're probably not on tower frequency. Set this in the Data Cartridge before you fly.
-You have Afterburners. If you ever get overwhelmed during combat and you lose track of whats going on, Turn around and Run. Get some distance then turn back in and regain your situational awareness.
-Running the Campaign/Gameworld at an accelerated speed (including 64x) doesn't hurt anything.
-If you ever accidentally over stress your aircraft and get an "FLCS Fault" on your master caution panel, there is a FLCS Reset switch on your back left panel that will clear the error and restore your aircraft's maneuverability.
-Don't ever die with fuel left in your aircraft. Don't be afraid of wasting fuel/munitions to stay alive.
Best of luck learning BMS! Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die.

I can't believe how good this is. I remember playing Falcon WAY back in the day. I'm blown away by this mod.

@marklopez936 8 лет назад

You did an outstanding job in this video. Its great, no nonsense. You just go to the point. Easy listening and great instruction. Keep at it!

@newbieboka 10 лет назад

I have to say that I was not expecting you to be able to go over everything needed to play in an hour, but you pulled it off. Nice work!

@man_vs_life 4 года назад

Damn, this is great. It's nice how in this quick guide you even covered things like setting altitude warning and finding optimal fuel settings. Liked and subbed; no brainer.

@unvmygame 11 лет назад

This is the best tutorial I've found for Falcon 4 BMS. Well organized, well thought-out, well-delivered. This really helps me a ton. Thank you for putting this together.

@KamionKing 10 лет назад

Thanks for this tutorial. Coming back to Falcon after 10 years

@jonathanrobertson3406 6 лет назад

I devoted a great deal of time to this sim back in the early to mid 2000s. It was a great time in my life and I am glad to see that the torch is continued to be carried by developers and virtual pilots. The learning curve is steep, but worthwhile.

@crewchiefken03 5 лет назад

Great job I work with these aircraft for 20 years and you did an excellent job of explaining the operational aspect of this aircraft

@RemmyC4 9 лет назад

Thanks for taking the time to do this. Answered almost every question I had for getting started.

I am among newbies to BMS. It's a great tutorial, Chuck. Many thanks ! I use it with a TM throttle and stick and TrackIR5 to feel a maximum of realism...

@bmanic 10 лет назад

This is awesome! Thanks for the tutorial. Last time I seriously played Falcon 4 was the official 1.08 version so a lot of things has changed since then. Awesome, clear, easy to follow quick tutorial. Cheers!

@EJ109 8 лет назад

Awesome video, this was a great help. Haven't played falcon 4.0 since way back when it came out. I found out BMS was keeping it alive and I have to jump back in. This is an awesome tutorial easy to follow. Now to jump in the drivers seat. Thanks again.

@half_r_mk5 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for this, I'm just transitioning from Falcon 4 Allied Force to this, so far so good. I haven't played Allied Force for 12 years and have just come back to it a month ago...but then I downloaded BMS 4.37 and it's quite different from Allied Force...so thanks for this. Helps speed things up a bit. 🙏

@John.Achor.Aviating.Author 4 года назад

Just returning to flt sims and Falcon 4 - you answered a batch of questions here. Thanks.

@MistaMeowmers Год назад

That funnel gun sight is way more useful than people think. You're supposed to line up the wingtips from edge to edge and then pull the trigger, it's not perfect but it gets you in the ballpark at least! (It's similar to the old gyro sights from WW2) Old video to post a comment on, I know, but I figure it'll be useful for newcomers! Awesome video, by the way! I've flown the F18 in DCS a decent amount, but I picked up some MFG Crosswinds and have been wanting to put my set-up through something real immersive, BMS dynamic campaigns have been on my check list to give a college try and this video has certainly helped!

@Bossshrew 6 лет назад

Insanely good tutorial, this is my ref material over the manuals.

@powerelch 5 лет назад

thank you so much for your time and effort by making this video! I think I'll finally buy Falcon 4.0 because of this tut.

@JRollonPlanes 11 лет назад

Also mark with semitransparent square those buttons that you press in the MFD. You do it via hardware and I have to stop and pause deeply to try to figure which one you did. Notice people that don't speak native english is hard to understand some words. Not for me these functions, because I manage with them.. but for future ones. As said.. incredible tutorial. thanks for your time!

@dusty_five_2 4 года назад

Are you related to Chuck Yeager man? If you are, that's gotta be awesome in the officer's programs if you join. My AF Academy was class of 2010 (started 2006) and AFROTC class of 2012. Both of which a pilot slot never happened for me. Had the 8-pack body, had the flight aptitude scores, had the volunteer hours, had the private flying hours. You can prepare yourself all your life. But you have to be selected in a way too. I sure weren't. Now 2020 in my 30s with a life-got-a-hold-of-ya body. But you know what, thank god for BMS!!! keeps me from going nutz. An old air force colonel, Robert G Wright, once said to me to watch out don't build bad habits from these sims. But cool tutorials to spoon feed!!! the new guys man. I wish there was a video like this over 10 years ago since Free Falcon 5. It is amazing how BenchMarkSims kept improving the Falcon 4.0 program. I've been out of it for years. I just got myself a beast of a desktop & the latest video card along with TrackIR. But man, my microphone sucks! What do you use? Lovin' the new BMS 4.34. It's amazing for someone older like me coming from Flight Sim 98', Nova Logic F-16 99', and Jane's 97' to see something beautiful as BMS.

@OlavBergman 8 лет назад

The per-fect tutorial!!! Thank you very much for it. Cheers.

@Rell2601 5 лет назад

I know I’m kind of late to the party, but I’ve gained such a sudden interest in learning everything about flying this aircraft, so here I am. I’ve played a lot of dogfighting arcade games. Ace Combat has a special place in my heart, but now I’ve been trying to jump to something closer to the real thing. So far, it’s actually been really fun. It takes a lot of practice and memorization but I love it.

@simpilothr6653 5 лет назад

You're not alone, my friend. I'm still new to BMS and tbh, it is great! I have some knowledge on how to start up this bad boy, and now I'm learning the weapons thanks to manuals and this video! And welcome to the community!

Hey Chuck, just wanted to say, thanks so much for the upload! Helped me out a lot!!! I was wondering if your in a VFW/Squadron or who you tend to fly with.

@Phearlock 11 лет назад

Pretty decent tutorial for anyone wanting to get into the game quickly, good job. I feel that you should have taken a few minutes to cover the RWR due to it's usefulness in maintaining SA at any skill level. But I'll happily link this to anyone wanting a "quick" introduction to BMS.

Here's the truth. There is NO way in hell I could do this! Props to you that CAN do this. It's a shame that I don't possess the aptitude to play this game... Should I call this a game? There is a first, I've now seen a product so thorough that I question whether or not to call this a game. A game to me is something I enjoy. This is by far the best Flight Sim I've seen to date!

@isaaccoote2874 7 лет назад

Hey Chuck Yeager, Thank you for the video. I am a big user of DCS and just recently picked this up but have been working like crazy to get my controls correct. You mention being able to set key configurations by simply clicking on and then pressing the corresponding key to replace it. This never works for me, expect what it does do is carry me to where the key is assigned (Very much so like in DCS when you are not setting a key but you press it and it shows you what it is assigned to). This has been a huge issue for me as I have been able to join my two flight devices (stick and throttle) and have been able to set my Axis's but the keys seem to be out of my control completely. Any advice? Thank you man.

@stephenmaher100 9 лет назад

Quick and dirty? I feel like I could fly a real F16 after watching this, thanks a lot! Especially the radar section, very quickly made sense. Just need a far better joystick now for all the buttons I now need lol. Sub'd good sir.

@Rasmorak 10 лет назад

Beautiful video. I've been playing with BMS for a while but I came from other, more dumbed down combat sims. I decided to finally pull the trigger on BMS and learn every thing I can about it. This is exactly what I needed to get my feet going. I just have one question: Is the tower frequency the same no matter what?

Finally figured out how to move the cursor (shift arrows) in A2A..lol Been a long while but I have the original Falcon 4 when it was released. I don't seem to have the same Training missions, which look like the originals, that you do. Probably on my F4 disk? (glad I'm a pack rat)

Hey Chuck, thanks for the great video, but now since the release of 4.33, some of the keys you mentioned in here are different. Will you be making another video or simply adding some notation bubbles for us getting started with 4.33? Still a helpful vid in general for the new players starting in 4.33 btw :)

@buffnerd9313 10 лет назад

Chuck I don't know if you will even get this, but I have one question. I am planning on getting this sim when I return to the states. Is there a free flight mode in multiplayer that will allow you and a friend to practice delivering weapons at that range or just learning how to work the systems in the jet?

@diegohands9366 4 года назад

Hey Chuck, I notice your squadron insignia is that of my home state of New Mexico and our state bird. I’m watching on mobile right now and the screen is too small for me to read the actual squadron designation, but it looks pretty identical to the NM Air National Guard’s 188th Rescue Squadron, “The Tacos,” based at Kirtland AFB. Are you from New Mexico as well, perchance? I’ve never come across anyone with references to New Mexico before

@JRollonPlanes 11 лет назад

Incredible tutorial! I was searching for one of these looooong time. From cero to sky! Of course there are lots of things lost, but we can go deep the manual. By the way, could you please add in the video a caption above it to transcribe the correct name of the function used to manage it in controls? For example the zoom and in the TGP. just say what is the funtion called in the controls to map it ourselfs. I had it after 9 hours watching other videos or searching in controls.

@ArcherAC3 8 лет назад

Just a small correction, not sure if there was a balloon or something since I can't see the icons through the RU-vid app on the phone. But anyway, at around 32:45 minutes, when your cursor is at 5nm you'd be scanning down to a value higher than 9000ft, 4000ft wouldn't be possible as you said, since it would be out of the cone.

I'm just wondering if bms has the same or similar 30 tutorial missions that allied force has, and if the manual runs you through those missions...like it does in allied force? I have allied force and went to start learning with the tutorial missions but to read the manual and play the missions I need to print the manual out to read it whilst I can just pause the game during a mission. I feel the tutorial missions in allied force in conjunction with the manual is the best way to learn the game, as it starts off the with utter basics of handling the aircraft with the hud features, and you progressively learn everything else in separate missions, all in conjuction with the manual...definitely the best way to learn. I feel that if bms doesn't have the same tutorial missions (or similar) which the manual walks you through, then I feel the game would just be too difficult to learn...and I want bms after watching the vids as I can see it looks so much better...otherwise think i'll just stick to allied force.

Obviously, we're not related and we've never met and He was no Idea that I exist but my second cousin has met him a couple of times. If I'm being honest I've only met my second cousin like 10 times in my entire life, so... the point is I know a guy who knows a guy.
