BFM and Weapons Trainer Mission - Upcoming Changes

Just a quick peek at what is coming up for version 4.0 of the BFM and Weapons Trainer Mission (hint: it involves a new name!).
Also a small, unwanted, unpopular editorial: Be nice to each other.

Hey Sedlo, thanks again for all your efforts! And I agree, I think that the new pricing model will hopefully open the map up to more folks.

[@sedlo]

I hope so!

Hey Sedlo, I've been enjoying the trainer. Got my first_ _OK_ _ 3 wire on it today and am getting better with the gun. I'm curious what difficulty the AI is set to? Would you consider adding the F4 phantom as a spawnable opponent?

[@sedlo]

They’re all on ACE. and yeah, F-4E will be in next release!

[@engaka86]

Thanks man for the time & effort you put in such work for the DCS community 👏

[@sedlo]

Thank you!

[@strikkflypilot927]

Thank You for this, man!💪

Hey love the mission and is by far the best training mission I have ever seen but I do have one problem. Unlimited weapons, I get that it’s a training mission but could we possibly get a option to turn it on and off in the f10 radio menu, just like the immortality

[@sedlo]

Unfortunately, you cannot. It’s at Mission wide so it’s either all or nothing :-(

[@RedTail1-1]

I feel like 4.0 is going to be the Trainer you wanted it to be from the start. Also they aren't releasing just one small part of it. People just don't understand it. They are releasing the entire map, and then North, South, East individually. I think most people are mad because only One of them is up right now(even though they say the others will be added as they are ready) and they see that and their nerd rage kicks in.

[@sedlo]

Hehe.. nerd rage ;-)

Can we get russian carrier in the general training mission? And il-76 tanker? Edit: Am I just confused by the name change? Probably I'm thinking.

[@sedlo]

The carrier will be there and I’ll add the IL-76, too.

@@sedlo 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@fa-ajn9881]

@@sedlo oh! Another thing I’ve noticed is that you only have standard ka-50 available for spawn. If you could add black shark 3 model that would be great!

[@Racer0ne0ne]

BVR will be awesome!

[@sedlo]

I hope so!

As long as they sell the full map I wont complain. If they ever take away the full option, I might not stick around. Another issue, players/mission makers might run into is areas might look different. Also why the fuck did they pick the most boring part to start on first?!?! The East portion of the map should have been done first, I'm biased though since I've been to Bagram. Good luck building FOBs without T-Walls and Hesco barriers, should have been in the a long time ago.

[@sedlo]

I think that’s going to be part of it. I mean… I hope so. I’m Canadian, and some of my friends were deployed to Kandahar region. Operation Medusa might be something I could do.

Wags had an interview with Cosmo tv and explained the reasoning behind the Afghanistan map. Pretty clear it's not an attempt to make more money.

[@sedlo]

More players = more cash flow, which I think is not evil at all. It’s been a while since ED has released a module / terrain of their own. It’s gonna be great for us and great for ED.

[@matthancock98]

@@sedlo absolutely agree. I patrolled areas of afghanistan. I'm looking forward to flying the cas for actual missions I was on

[@sedlo]

@@matthancock98 I bet seeing it from the air will be quite the change.
