Looks terrific. Been a DCS guy for many years, but the fact they still haven't bothered to even attempt to make ATC functional makes me want to give BMS a shot. I played Falcon 4: Allied Force many many years ago, perhaps it's time to go back and play this new iteration.

@@automag928 I started in the LOMAC Flaming Cliffs days too. DCS has come a long way in some respects but the game definitely favours cockpit simulator gameplay as opposed to real war fighting and airmanship. It’s depressing that after almost 20 years of playing it we still have the same brain dead ATC from the initial LOMAC days. Not to mention how frustrating the mission editor is compared to F4.0
While ED does move quite slowly in some areas, I feel I really have to take issue with your phrase 'haven't bothered to even attempt'. That is factually false. They've been actively working on a complete ATC overhaul for some time now - it actually seems like one of their biggest current activities. Based on what's being worked on, it could end up being the most faithful and intricated recreation of AI-based ATC communications in any sim. Please try not to just make stuff up in future.
DCS, in my experience, is fine if you want to fly the plane (you more than likely bought). BMS simulates an actual war, as well as stuff DCS does not do. ATC, certin features of the F-16, etc. DCS is flashy, while BMS just deos it's job.

@simgaminglife4392 Thank you for this trailer, awesome teamwork and great time we had creating this badboy. You are the BEST cinematic trailer creator we can wish for :-)
I am proud to belong to the 90's generation and had played from the one of first f16 sinulator falcon AT from Holobyte, and the falcon 3 and falcon 4. The BMS team keep the nostalgia of that times with paixon and perseverance. Big thank you for the enfort of the team.
I have to say, I realize this is probably the last update until 4.38 but maybe some hotfixes. I have to say there were a couple of shots in there that I got goose bumps.
Thank you for giving us a proper full-fidelity F-15 cockpit. I understand Falcon 4.0 is an F-16sim so you really didn’t have to, but I love being able to properly use my STECS in a sim aircraft.
Do you like Falcon 4.0 ? I was never really a great fan of their early work, too artsy. But when BMS came out in 87' ... I think 4.37 is their undisputed masterpiece.
Yo DCS mods had a literal conniption fit on their forums because I asked why the TGT SEP button didn't work on the f-16C. They can kiss any more money from me goodbye.. Glad I only bought the f-16C at half price before I figured out the devs at ED were absolute cry babies. BMS all the way.
Sweet Jesus, I'm so excited! My HOTAS died a few months ago. I've been reluctant to get a new one for some time now, but this release has definitely convinced me to move forward with that ASAP!
@@MaxWaldorfYou and your formendable crew have done a brilliant job under the hood keeping this sim alive. I salute all your efforts. I am confident the new terrain engine coming will take this sim to another another level.
I spent over $500 on DCS - half of them do not work correctly. Other than the usual bugs, recent Eagle Dynamics vs Razbam fiasco has completely wrecked havoc on DCS playability. Where as for BMS, its almost free (they still recommend to purchase Falcon 4.0 proper), and you get the best experience ever.
Thank you and thank you , I remember going from Tucson az to get this simulation back in 1998 , 2 hr back in /from , it changed my life ,I had so much enjoyment specially with the campaign, even got my privet license pilot but things changed in life and I had to stop and be a business owner to support bills, life , my happy place in my mind has always been on that f16 taking off from the east Korea base and being in there doing my perimeter AA , Im glad this is still a thing

Is there a transition guide for players coming from DCS? BMS looks like it is so much better, i fly custom missions with a large DCS group but BMS looks like it will be so much better for my single player time
Please read!! As a 3D artist and jets enjoyer it's AMAZING! BUT here are some points that can be easily improved: The terrain textures can be seen repeated many times all over the ground and mountains. The trees, glasses and shadows in general are excessively dark. Also, I can't see light reflections (not speculars) in materials that are not glass. That's all I can say, again, it's AMAZING. Can't wait to play it.
Amazing release update, downloading soon when its available. Hoping on the next update, the BMS team will update the Terrain, I can see repeated tiles like the old FreeFalcon or Falcon 4 Allied Force. Overall i'm impressed.
