Same boat for me, flew a ton of DCS and ended up forming a small group but not BMS is all I want to fly. The campaign has really stolen me from DCS, realistically don't see myself going back until they release theirs.
dude i was a 2R3 at the wing level at Aviano i looked over the 555th and 510th this is dope i got to work around the officer that made the sorties or planned with the squadrons and im happy to see someone using the best F16 wing 31st FW respects
Hope the official dynamic campaign for DCS will be good like this one...we will need Vulcan as well though....question: why does the hud look different in bms compared to the DCS viper?
How did u declutter your helmet display to just a target cross? Looks good. I'm liking BMS more and more. Keep the vids coming. Maybe there will be more multi-player dcs guys playing this more. I know I will be
I was alive in this mission on the red side and one F-16 was hit in the back right part of the plane and fire came out on it from the side and it went to Zagreb at a low altitude with 2 friends accompanied by it. ariano, because he had severe impairment 😁😁🤗
Tricker, can you maybe create a tutorial about how to get started with BMS? It looks like so much fun but also very difficult to get into the first place...
Were you able to establish comms with the tanker, using the 'Y' menu? If so, then sometimes you need to "cycle" it by reporting that refueling is complete and then immediately requesting refueling again.
I know I'm a bit late, but I learned you have to reapproach the tanker. Separate by ~10miles, come back, try again. IIRC it had something to do with a bug/quirk in the tanker AI.
Being old school BMS just a few obversation ,there was no handoff from the tower once you departed? Why the caution warning on the way to the target? No comm once mission was completed? Good mission
We departed and contacted departure; I believe in this mission we had icing so that’s what the caution was and we turned on anti ice. We had comms on the way back but I didn’t show everything on the way back to cut out some unwarranted footage
Hi Tricker, what campaign is this and did you frag this mission yourself or is it done by HQ ? If you fragged it yourself could you do a video explaining the process ? Love your BMS and DCS content BTW.
@@TrickerDCS Thanks. I think remember you said you fly for an airline in the US. What aircraft type are you on ? I’m flying for a 737 operator here in Australia and we are only just now returning to normal ops. We are getting the Max next year and am about to do the Max differences course. Should be a busy year.
@@speedbird8326 yep I fly the airbus for a carrier here in the USA. I’ve been flying my butt off for the last few months, hopefully things pickup for you down undahhhhh
how simulatory is this game? this is the first time seeing this sim and my only reference is DCS...is it better, worse? more realistic less realistic? fully clickable cockpits and the such?
@@jamestopoleski9255 I'd say you could take off and poke holes in the sky with your BMS / DCS time but landing not so much. Employing the aircraft as a weapons system no way.
th-cam.com/video/tn9FI_e7A6w/w-d-xo.html What is that constant sound which goes like a high pitch squeal, then turns into a low buzz? It's constant during the video (more or less). Does it have something to do with the pilot breating, or something?!
Ay guys, been years since I tried, crashed and burned on BMS. So please someone give me the tips on what I need like theaters and stuff I need to get back up fully stocked. Much luv and thanks to the community
Love BMS, always have. But I think the way forward for BMS will be to switch it to Unreal Engine 5...or 6, when it's released. As much as the current graphic engine is a huge step up, it's just not on the same level as what DCS and xplane and MSFS are running now. Going to UE will solve that problem.
Unreal is absolutely horrible for games of this scale. It'd be the worst thing they can possibly do; and also practically impossible. They already have a modern render engine and are working on a new terrain system, just give it time. It'll end up looking better than UE ever could at this scale.
@@jamestopoleski9255 Nobody believes that graphic quality and realism doesn't matter. In principle even the most specialized and realism focused military simulators have always focused on the highest graphics and realism quality possible without compromising the other important factors of the simulation. BMS should be no different. For BMS to remain worthy of continued improvement, it must have a large user base. If it falls too far behind its competition (primarily DCS) then it will lose users to DCS which has only been getting progressively better. Don't think that BMS can remain competitive ONLY because of the dynamic campaign, which is unequalled in all the simulation world.
After hearing about dynamic campaigns coming to dcs i decided to get this game and get the mod, which of course I have to run into problems and I can't play the fucking game because my laptop has issues with .net framework or something, I FUCKING HATE THIS FUCKING THING
BMS has quickly been my favorite thing to fly. Run a DCS liberation group. But the campaign in BMS is wild.

Can't wait for DCS dynamic campaign, will inject a lot of life into the game.
@@StefanoZibell cost $300
init? :) I've got 3000 hours in Falcon 4 since 2001 :)
If you didn't realize 10+ years ago that DCS is a joke compared to Falcon BMS, you're clueless and/or brainless.
4.36 is such a gem of a flight sim!

Glad to see you up, running balkans as well. Good luck ! Keep us posted
Glad to see you in the air.
Man, this had me on the edge of my seat the whole time! Awesome stuff as always!
You must of been watching your own content 👀
@@TrickerDCS that's not even close 😅
Great mission, you make it look so easy.
Hopefully more coming soon!
Beautiful flight bro
Love to see a fun Falcon 4 mission. Makes me want to setup a new PC just for BMS.
Shouldn't even need a new PC for it.
@@jimlthor I don’t have a PC 🤷🏽♂️
@@thefluentone well. You could probably play it on a cheap one or even a laptop
this is a real simulator.
More BMS stuff please!
Hope the official dynamic campaign for DCS will be good like this one...we will need Vulcan as well though....question: why does the hud look different in bms compared to the DCS viper?
This is a Block 40 F-16C. BMS has several different block F-16s to choose from. All are different in some way. The DCS is a Block 50.
Your going to be waiting till the end of time to get a dynamic campaign out of DCS Bo offense.
@@Boomer25wa 😱

That’s because I didn’t know that 4.36 added alignment for the HMCS and I did align it lol

Tricker, can you maybe create a tutorial about how to get started with BMS? It looks like so much fun but also very difficult to get into the first place...
Honestly I’m still new to it as well but when I get a little more comfortable with it I’ll be doing that for sure!
@@TrickerDCS 👍 Can’t wait!!
What was that last building, though?
FRY Control Center destroyed by Tricker at 08:09:01
Orphanage destroyed by Tricker at 08:10:37
Let's go!
Were you able to establish comms with the tanker, using the 'Y' menu? If so, then sometimes you need to "cycle" it by reporting that refueling is complete and then immediately requesting refueling again.
Yah we tried that and unfortunately we couldn’t get it to work. He would keep saying “Roger,” and then nothing. Will try again on the next missions

Subscribed.
Is it just me or are the roads and lakes.... remarkably minecraft-like? Does this apply to all such ground structures?
the original game was released in like 1997, so it kinda makes sense

@@TrickerDCS I appreciate your response and explanation. Thanks
hopefully we get 4.38 soon
I hope so!
That was fun to watch! Do you know why the SEAD and escorts missions showed as failures even though it said 0 aircrafts were lost?
Honestly I have no idea, maybe they didn’t destroy anything so it’s a failure,
I would have locked the target with FCR and dropped CCRP instead of CCIP. That way I could stay higher away from AAA and potential manpads.
Real men go in CCIP baby
@@TrickerDCS you are right. Dead men were real once. 😂
@@Ripper669 TEHE
@@Ripper669 But we're not dead. Just damn good.
@@TheRandomSqueak this time. BMS is about surviving a full campaign. Not single missions. But the mission looked great and y'all did well.
What are the constant ring tones in the cockpit?
How did you get the TGP to focus on the STP while you're in CCIP?
Whatever you're TGP is looking at (SPI), It will stay locked onto it.
Hi Tricker, what campaign is this and did you frag this mission yourself or is it done by HQ ? If you fragged it yourself could you do a video explaining the process ? Love your BMS and DCS content BTW.
Yah this was a fragged mission. I’m pretty busy the next few days but I’ll see what I can do. Thanks for the comment
@@TrickerDCS Thanks. Appreciate it and it would help a lot. Was the campaign Balance of Power or Deny Flight Two ?
@@speedbird8326 it was balance of power

whats that digital fart sound? (dont mean rwr, the very high freq one)
I just dropped the BMS due to the lack of VR, but it's a fantastic simulator, the best F-16 sim in my opinion.
What is the viper version/block in here? Is this F-16s (not F-16c)? Any details? I am comparing this viper to the one we have in DCS
Block 40
have they updated the Balkans terrain?
No updates to the terrain
Update some new AB
Terrain update is still deep in the works, vr will be coming before terrain update
What sick and cool DCS mod is this?
This is not a dcs, read description
LOL
how simulatory is this game? this is the first time seeing this sim and my only reference is DCS...is it better, worse? more realistic less realistic? fully clickable cockpits and the such?
This is a fully loaded question. I’d say a lot of things are more realistic in BMS. DCS has the graphics.
@@TrickerDCS Agree. 👍👍

The IDM, a datalink.
this looks amazing how is this from 1998
The base game is, most of the graphics have been reworked a ton, save the 2d UI

Hey was this ever meant to be a series? If so what happened to it?
I’ll give you a snappy comeback! I got some more lined up, just been extremely busy this month
@@TrickerDCS No worries, was just curious.
Hi, BMS is less hard than dcs ?
Dcs is easier

We can´t compare it to DCS. It´s incredibely cheap to get this, and DCS is a ton of money. Even though i see your point.
