The most expensive part of that game is the controller you'll need to play it properly.

Why would I turn assists on? This is a simulator? Why would I turn on the bumpers? (Bowling reference) to each there own. But I want to speed run the simulator experience. Doing it fast efficiently and most importantly myself. Not letting the game do all the work for me.

🤡

I wanna buy the butcher but I’m in Texas , how long did it take for you to receive it?

THANKS, that was helpful

One very important inaccuracy in the video: flaming cliffs aircraft are not just the same but without clickable cockpits and worse graphics. They're far, far more simplified simulations. Most of the systems on those modules aren't even simulated, only a small subset of things can be used (a couple of radar modes, some weapons, and not much else), and even the usable systems are still way simpler than the full fidelity counterparts (compare the F-15E radar with the F-15C radar: ages apart). If you only fly "air quake" pvp you might not notice the difference. But for anyone flying realistic missions and trying to do realistic procedures and operations? Nowhere near.

I salute those that get into the game with a keyboard mouse. o7 I've only gotten my first High Fidelity a few months ago, and its hard to go a day without flying.

Excelent video and yet so little subs

14 days is not enough to learn to fly in one aircraft. But is is enough to try it.

I’m gonna be honest, just spend the money if you have it and are INVESTED. If you enjoy the game trying out a few jets, if you like it, and got a basic HOTAS too, then go for it!

A little late to the party, but something that might help people who find this video: One of the F-45's greatest strengths in BVR engagements is the EOTS. Not only does it make it very easy to spot targets against the sky at extreme distance, it can provide guidance to the AIM-120D up until it's terminal phase when it switches to AHR. An EOTS track is real time, provides BRAH information to your TSD, and is completely unnoticeable to your target. Visual lock cannot be jammed, and isn't vulnerable to countermeasures or evasive tactics like notching. Assuming that they don't see the smoke trail from the missile's engine, and the MWS doesn't detect a launch, the target will have no way of knowing that you have shot at it until the missile switches to it's internal radar for guidance and shows up on RWR. It's a very handy trick that woefully few people use. Gotta leverage all the tools at your disposal!

Are you sure that you can "trial" campaigns? I have never seen that option. In fact, there are many other modules that can't currently be used in trial. Edit: I now see you addressed this in the comments. Decent video, but a large part of it was based off all the time you get to play with free trials, which happens to be only a fraction of what was stated. Not trying to be over critical, but wanted to make that point.

Small correction to this video. You CAN NOT trial campaigns. Big thank you to @cthomas2033 for pointing this out. My launcher showed me campaigns when I went to the "try n buy" section and made it look like they were included in the trial! Everything else holds true, sorry for the misinformation about campaigns!

Amazing video I am considering buying the Viper now that its on sale but Il trial other planes while I can

The only thing making me not downloading this game ain't no money but the lack of vr controller support like in msfs 😭

I have a question, do your eyes not hurt from looking with the 'edge' of your vision on the screen when turning your head?

Great video, don’t let the belief of needing a flight stick keep you down. My ps5 Controller taught me very well until i got my flight stick. Only thing that is wrong is that you cant trial campaigns which is unfortunate. Once again, cool vid

Truly GREAT explanation and breakdown for ease of understanding. You've said in the past....that initial cost can also be broken down by the number of hours you find yourself playing the game, and tends to cost less than a cup of coffee purchased away from home. See you soon mate O7

U only really need to have the back controller steady , front u can free hand

Just subscribed to your channel. Great content. Question on WDP. What folder do I put the file after downloading? It doesn’t come with an installer… I would appreciate any help on the subject. Thanks! Looking forward to your other videos.

The approach is the definition of bush flying. :D I like the content. Just startet to read the manuals. Hope I can fly some missions soon.

I’m new to VTOL and have watched many tutorials. Personally, I find that yours are the best that I’ve come across so far. I totally agree with many of the comments below, I find that your pacing, degree of detail and general ability to get the point across very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos for the many of us that love this game.

So underrated

When you’re that close in instead of using ccrp and going way far out you can also just put the release mode in ccip and line your pip up and the bomb should go to that point and as long as your aim is good enough the laser (also set in training, not combat) will guide it the rest of the way

Where did you find it?

I have wanted to learn Falcon since I was a teenager. I owned it then and own it now. I followed BMS and watched it grow to what it is now. Still, I was intimidated by all of this and went to DCS instead. I am 41 now. Your video is going to help me reach a goal that I just never really tried hard at all to reach lol. My Grandfather built simulators for the first Vipers, and taught the first pilots how to use their new planes. So it will be nice to finally take the time and learn a little about my own legacy with the viper. Now I am gonna go blast the Hound War song and annoy the neighbors. Thanks!

notable stuff about firing fox 3s in the f45 you do NOT need radar lock to be able to fire fox 3s in the f45 and ef24, you only need enemy rwr pings so they show up on TSD. once the missile is close enough its radar will activate and surprise the enemy while keeping you stealthy if you're firing from the tsd and you want your radar ON turn on "point" in the menu in the corner of the TSD page as it auto radar locks your selected target its usually only good to fire AA missiles just below the engine cutoff line (or whatever you call it) on the launch ladder so the enemy cant just fly cold (away from the missile to out range it) to defeat the missile

All love a aim120 but guns for the fun baby

hey man a tip here, don't use the subtitles in every dialogue use it only on important topics!. Nice video man!

I plan on getting a vr headset with birhtday money next month, if you are still down i'd love for you to teach me the ropes

A small form sacrificing everything else😂

Glad to see I'm not the only one who keeps repeatedly taking missiles to the face in this mission 😂

Thank you fir the

I am considering buying a vr headsrt some time this year and your video was helpful. Thanks.

I dig your BMS walk-through! Most people post multiplayer sorties or single mission videos...which can be fun... but its much better IMO to watch one person strategize and put a plan into motion. And beginners can learn from your mistakes so they wont have to make them hehe! I noticed here and in prior videos that your glideslope is way too low. Keep the FPM on localizer centerline using yaw/roll but always maintain glideslope with throttle- never pitch input. Pitch input is used to establish the approach and once its set its mostly just throttle work. 7 degrees nose up then flare to about 12. Rule of 1/3 with GS. At 3nm be at 3K ft. At 1nm you wanna be no higher than 350ft and no lower than 300. Give or take a little depending on wx etc.

Magic!

Hey I'm so glad I happened upon your channel! You cover just about all of my questions on this great sim!

For a new user like me this is great. Clear, concise and a well made video! Thanks - subbed.

Is this video still valid for 2025 or only good for mastering BMS in 2024?

Wow ude these masterclass series is awesome! Thanks man, keep it up please!

i recently got the ef-24g and i genuinely cannot find out how to turn on the tgp can somebody help

W server my man

Bought mine after watching the vidéo great one btw and let me tel you the gunstock is nuts quality and feel are top notch

Hey man I heard u wanted to increase your FOV and I figured out how to do so, first you go into and Open, \Falcon BMS 4.37.6 (whatever current update is)\User\Config\Falcon BMS.cfg` in Notepad.. Look for `set g_fDefaultFOV` and `set g_fMaximumFOV` lines Ensure maximum > default. You could also look in the Falcon BMS 4.37.6 (whatever current update is) folder and you will find a orange app called config, from there there will be a drop down box called general and then FOV and set your maximum FOV to your desired FOV. Hope I could help if you encounter any issues I’ll look into it 😊 thanks for the BMS content man

I love this game. I'm not very good but I'm improving. Your picture/graphics are the best I've ever seen. I play solos on Quest 3 stand alone and run the Quest Optimizer. But the clarity of your's is crystal.

Thanks for the video. Can you put together another video on how to calibrate and recommended settings for Contractors Showdown please? Thanks

You probably figured it out, but the reason the laser didn't fire wasn't because you weren't in point track. The laser was set to training mode. When you go to the LASR-page on the UFC (where you checked the laser code and auto laser timer) you can see it's set to "TRNG" or some such. If you hit the down arrow under the number keys below the HUD, you'll select laser mode. If you then hit 0, you change from training to combat mode. Ater that the laser will fire, as long as it's also armed. Also, the SA-2 at 95% you were worried about didn't have the Fan Song radar. Probably been destroyed by another SEAD/DEAD flight. Without that, it can't shoot :)

The laser didn't fire because it was in training mode. When you set up your LASER page it shows A-G:TRNG (@4:25), also on the TGP you see the letter T above OSB12, it also indicates traning mode. Keep up the good fight!

New to BMS and your videos are really helping in just getting my head around it all. I've binge-watched up until now! Keep it up!

Cool vid. I would love to see some coverage on the maximum envelope of missile usage. In the sense that the agm can be lofted 10 miles when the target is near your altitude and you almost always will hit, but the accuracy indicator will show you are well outside the threshhold. At 30k feet ive landed 25m shots using gps-a target coords easily despite it being 6 miles outside reliable day time tgp seeking. Ive seen 40 and 50m shots before as well, these rank more like parlor tricks as it requires 45k+ feet alt and airspeed greater than 400kts to really stick the landing. The fuel spent, and reliance on tgp'd gps-a coord strike limit you to soft targets due to aaa just easily picking them off unless their angle is too steep.
