I really must get back to BMS, DCS is good but the campaign is rubbish compared to Falcon, and even EECH for that matter.

[CCIP]

Yeah, there's really nothing that touches F4's campaign - EECH/EEAH is 2nd best if you like modern-era mud moving on a smaller scale, and also still well-supported. But the scale of what Falcon does is pretty breathtaking.

Took me forever to get back into BMS and I dreaded having to re-learn the ropes, but within a couple of days I brushed up on it enough that I'm now flying campaign missions again and it feels like I'd never been away. I've been playing F4 since a few months after it was first released, and I don't think it ever left my HD since then.

I must admit, I never ramp start, I got most of the hang of the F16 in AF but BMS is a whole different kettle of fish.

[CCIP]

Haha, it's a habit thing :) I managed to get it down to a 21-item checklist that I keep in front of me - works pretty clean and I'm usually ready to roll in only 5 minutes (though the INS takes about 8 to align fully). The data cartridge system (especially if you use WDP to configure it outside of Falcon) really takes a lot of work out of the initial config. I always actually found the DCS A-10 to be more work in startup.

Windows for Warthog is a pain in the arse, I agree, although I think I've managed to get it down to a rough start without using the checklist, the error board helps, sometimes it's a case of working until the board is empty. I always forget the EAC switch though and Arclight or Raptor has to remind me where it is. :haha:

The data cartridge is an awesome piece of kit, but yeah, a bit of work to set up, but handy for putting in additional steerpoints for quick target location. :up:

Managed to avoid the Wall of MiGs (TM) so far then. :03:

[CCIP]

Haha, the wall of MiGs is long gone! :D

In my current campaign, the DPRK air force lasted all of six hours. They definitely put up a fight at the start, but were hopelessly out-fought in the air and on the ground (and that's despite the difficulty sliders maxed out to balance out for them). After that, every single one of their air bases was not only obliterated, but would continue to receive a going-over by a strike every couple of hours. Every once in a while a base or two comes back online and sends out a few packages, but they're picked up and blasted out of the sky right away.

Now it seems the same has more or less happened to their ground forces - without any air cover, they just basically got torn to shreds by A-10s & co. It's afternoon on Day 2 now and I don't think they'll last much longer here!

I've always wondered, what year OOB is the campaign set around? I know there's the default Korea campaign and...Korea 2000 I think, but is there a more recent one?

[CCIP]

Haha, yeah, the answer is... I don't know anymore :dead:

My sense is that the current BMS default is still set somewhere in the early 2000s, albeit with a reduced commitment of allied units at the start for balance. I mean, there are only 4 USAF combat squadrons (3 F-16, 1 A-10) in the campaign at the start; it takes about 30 hours for the first carrier to arrive, and some of the ROKAF units are also not active until Day 2 - and so far I haven't seen any strategic air power arrive at all, and the only USAF combat squadrons are still the ones attached to USFK. It seems to be set up for a sort of balance more than anything, probably to prevent the game from generating too many allied flights.

There's all sorts of other flavours too, both mod and default. The "Iron Fortress" scenario in current BMS looks interesting since it has a lot of other NATO units brought in.

I too am enjoying FSX:SE, though I usually fly Cessna, Beechcraft or Moony.

IL2 looks very nice but I have not gotten the newest releases yet.

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

I still play IL-2 1946 patched up to 4.12.2 plus the C.U.P super-mod which has three eras of flight ranging from WW1 all the way up to the present day. Here is a couple of screenshots from a mission I'm testing/modifying.

I was not aware there was a WW1 mod for IL2: 1946. That must be interesting. Is it anything like Rise of Flight or Over Flanders Field? I'd say it's more like OFF then RoF, but then again I haven't done much with it yet other then to load it up to make sure it works. It does have a decent number of planes including flyable Zeppelins and multiple maps covering different fronts from the Great War. You can read more about it here http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,45222.0.html (I hope I'm allowed to post this link.)

W:oW, Those screen shots on that page looked awesome. :yeah: Indeed, C.U.P has totally changed IL-2 for the better and is ready for when the 4.13 patch is released for IL-2 1946. I've mostly been focusing on the World at War part of it as I'm currently making a Battle of Britain mission and editing some old missions all of which are for multiplayer.

@Aktungbby No sepia toning there, it was a taken during an early morning patrol and I've got a mod that changes the games sky box to proper morning/dusk colors and it looks very amazing.

Here's some pics from my first multiplayer sortie since upgrading to the new 4.33.1 version of BMS. My wingman and I were tasked with the destruction of the Puro-ri naval base in North Korea. The pics are from ingress and egress to and from the target. Didn't have much time to take screenies during the actual attck, but it was a huge success, with almost all assets at the base destroyed or heavily damaged :)

BF109 time, dived upon fighters covering the IL2's attacking the German supply convoys, after dodging and chasing for quite some time the enemy fighter I was after made a mistake and lined itself up nicely with my gunsight:

Since I was running low on fuel I headed back, thinking I was in the clear to my surprise a LA5 managed to catch up and banged up my 109 before being delt with by the others.

Just getting back to propper flightsims after a 4 year break, mainly IL2 but also am getting myself familiar again with the Mig21 in DCS world.

I recently got a new PC after frying my trusty old one (which had a good life for the last 8 years and will be missed) while trying to upgrade it to 16GB of RAM. Now I can fly DCS properly (with exception of my totally worn out joystick). I now have the Viggen module in addition to the UH-1.


Unfortunately my work hours don't allow for flying in the night anymore.:-?

[HunterICX]

Viggen is a very nice and interesting aircraft from what I've seen, I got my eye on their F14 Tomact module they'll release soon™. Which is my all time favorite Jet aircraft.

Pretty impressive to have blitzkrieged your PC :D

I had to drop some of the eye candy with DCS 2.5.x update but I got it playable which is more important. So long my PC still works I'm not planning an update until Cyberpunk 2077's system requirements are confirmed so I can aim above those for my next build.

My work hours still dictate I can only fly in the evening though it may be just a thing of getting older that time seems to pass on a lot faster then it used to :hmmm: though it doesn't seem to work when at work :hmph:

Yes, it's fun to fly but it's old tech means that your survivability isn't that great. Very crude RWR, no air to air radar and a computer that reminds me of an Apollo space craft. Still ahead of the Fishbed though.:O:




Pretty impressive to have blitzkrieged your PC :DYep...I couldn't fly DCS online anymore since the update to 2.0. So at the end of November I finally caved and wanted to add some more RAM...a funny smell later I had to realize that I had to "tell Jim that he was dead".:dead:
Totally awesome considering how much new systems cost these days and that I have a job that pays barely above minimum wage.:dead::dead:


But fortunately I got some help from the family with that.:rock:

2nd sortie of my LW career.


En route in formation.
https://i.imgur.com/bXH5I55.jpg?1


Providing Air cover for ground units, soon some Laggs decided to engage us.
https://i.imgur.com/ukzLEPd.jpg?1


While trying to get a shot at one his buddy sneaked upon my six and whilst trying to shake him which is about impossible to do in a sluggish 110 he got a good shot at my engine.
https://i.imgur.com/yzTyqgh.jpg?1


Now the 110 is basically done for but I try to head back to base. But the Lagg wouldn't let me :wah:
https://i.imgur.com/TSUTgJs.jpg?1


After he did another pass and more damage I had two options, continue my pitiful attempt to head back to base with a blasted Ruski trying to finish me off or go for a swim...I chose the latter and bailed above the lake you see in front of me.
https://i.imgur.com/3Yzq7PS.jpg?1


at least it was over friendly territory so while the 110 gracefuly went down I lived to see another day.

The picture in the last post is from DCS. The WWII ones are some iteration of Il-2, I assume Battle of Stalingrad.

Heatblur really went the extra mile on this module, it even has a walkman :D and to get to the next track you need to Fast Forward like the real thing :haha:

Dropped some Mk81's need to work on my accuracy though, close but not close enough to knock out some vehicles.

En route towards 2 F18's, tried using my AIM54s Phoenix missiles shooting them in sequence to 2 different targets designated by my RIO (Jester AI) fired 2 missiles aprox. 40-50 miles out 1 splashed the F18 the other F18 managed to avoid being hit as he dove to the deck, pilot locked him shortly after and nailed him with a 3rd Phoenix missile. :D

Heatblur has quite the track record with the excellent Viggen and now the F14. I'm thinking about getting either the 14 or 18 when they drop in price. But I need to get a proper Joystick first as my current one always adds some right rudder when I only want to use right aileron... Oh well, I think the thing is over 10 years old now...:dead:

I'd always apply a bit of deadzone on the rudder control.

Anyway I recently replaced my Cyborg Evo stick with the Thrustmaster T16000M + HOTAS and I'd recommended if you look something within a decent pricerange and what you get for it. It's got the same sensors like their top of the line Warthog stick and with the HOTAS unit you got plenty of buttons to asign to the thing's you'd be needing in DCS modules.

Yep, I was thinking about that one too. But being the super tight German that I am I still go with the "oh, come on, your old stick does still function now (somewhat) , doesn't it?" routine.
