Being Walked Through My First BMS Sortie (Impromptu Flight School)

I was not planning on posting this publicly but people kept asking. This was made during 4.36. This was an internal play session that I had with a friend and I recorded it. I figured in our internal group we could share this around to go over the absolute basics.
I do not feel particularly comfortable making a good guide on the F-16, so I have stayed away from doing any sort of BMS videos that are guides but based on popular opinion I have posted this one.

This channel focuses on combat flight simulators like DCS World and IL-2 Great Battles. If you play either of these games or flight simulators like Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and enjoy aviation and dogfighting then this channel is for you. Even if you are coming from War Thunder and BF2042, you can learn to fly these combat flight simulators.
I play using TrackIR5 and do not use VR, this means that I am able to capture footage for tutorials, how-to-guides and other multiplayer tips and tricks video in 1440p.
Eagle Dynamics has made it easier than ever to learn DCS because the game is technically free. The game has the F-15, F-16, Su-27, Mig-29, Mig-21, Mig-19, Mig-15, F-86 Sabre, Jf-17, Mirage 2000, F-18 Hornet and F-14 Tomcat. There are soon other modules coming such as the Mig-23 and F-4. Lastly, there are helicopters like the Mi-24 Hind and AH-64 Apache.
The same is also true for IL-2 Great Battles. With Battle of Stalingrad, Battle of Kuban, Battle of Bodenplatte, Battle of Moscow and Battle of Normandy being released, there is an immense amount of variety covered. The Bf-109, Fw-190, P-51, Tempest, P-47, Mc.202, Stuka, Ju-88, He-111, and so on are all in the game. I focus on making videos to make that part accessible so you can dive into IL-2 Multiplayer.

*This video was set to not alert subscribers* This is only being posted publicly due to people asking on our discord. I made this video and decided to not post it and just sat on it. *I do not think this video is good* but people kept requesting it because they were having issues with getting started in the F-16. The original intent of this video was to act as a time stamp and a reference point to look back on. I have not flown modern in 2 years and never flown the F-16 before. I particularly do not like flying this stuff but BMS has a very compelling campaign and I am actually having a lot of fun. I have already made some great strides since the recording of this video so I may make more concise videos that follow the progress of a campaign. This video was filmed a month ago so this was filmed the day I installed BMS.

[@somerando8615]

The one way I could enjoy BVR fights in DCS is to conceptualize it like I was playing one of the old submarine games. Getting a torpedo to hit another sub is a lot like trying to get an AIM-7 or AIM-120 onto a guy 40 miles away. I just told myself I was playing Silent Hunter at 30,000 ft.

[@CakePrincessCelestia]

BMS. Never gotten into it. Was trying to before Lock On was released in 2003, but didn't have Falcon 4 either, so I bought that (what a box!), got BMS 1.32 and failed deliberately. The original tutorials were completely broken, there were no new ones to account for that and there was no manual, the Tube didn't even exist. The readme literally told me to google the dash 1 online. That's what made me quit it - but I was going to try it again somewhere around 2008-2010ish, YT was already a thing, but noone had tutorial videos up there, especially for BMS. Manual situation was exactly the same, so I happily went back to my Black Shark. Next time I gained interest in trying it again was when ED announced the Viper. Well, BMS still has no VR support to this date as far as I know... I simply can't, Pancake flying is like "flying" RC. I just can't, unless it's the old 90s sims that I fire up every now and then. I guess I'll never see myself in BMS, but I also don't have a lot of spare time for it anyway. I do respect it though for what it is and it still has that campaign advantage over DCS which is a massively huge thing for offline players.

I spent hours looking at all of the weapons and vehicles in one of the main menus.. then spent a couple hours setting up my hotas, then spent time fighting with my G2 because it was loading up at some crazy resolution and running at 1 fps or less. Learned all the details of the dynamic campaign and set that up... Finally got in the plane and had no idea how to start it. So I gave up. I've flown many planes on DCS, including the F/A 18 a lot.. but had no clue how to start the F 16

[@ec1rs]

In my opinion, this is one of the best videos you have done. Pacing and the step-by-step approach is on point. Even if not designed that way, this video is actually a VERY good tutorial without being dense and formal on specific systems. BMS can be a bit overwhelming coming from DCS as it has a lot more going on than the aircraft itself. So It was refreshing to see a general BARCAP workflow in one video. Very helpful.

[@Enigma89]

That is probably more of a reflection of Tony and how he planned the instruction session. I typically don't like posting videos that are over 15-20 minutes long and I try to distill them down but because BMS is so involved there was nothing to cut out of this.

What does it have going on that DCS doesn't? I am curious.

[@BushidoDevilDog]

⁠@@jimmydesouza4375 Falcon 4.0/BMS has a dynamic campaign engine that has yet to be matched in any other flight sim. BMS puts you in the middle of a dynamic, unpredictable war that proceeds even without your participation, where as DCS puts you in scripted missions that have MUCH better graphics, but are basically static in nature.

[@Duvstep910]

Nice to see somebody else getting into BMS as well. The F-16 is a pretty cool and easy fighter. Some tips for you: The shortcut for the pilot model is alt c + p The hmcs has to be aligned every 15-20mins Read the training manual. It really helps when you forget stuff.

[@xXrandomryzeXx]

Bruh, I though you had to align the hmcs once, and then forget about it. I guess that's why it hasn't been working for me

[@Duvstep910]

@@xXrandomryzeXx lol; also some older models do NOT have the hmcs even though the knob is there (BMS simulates every version of the F-16; even the israeli ones. You just have to have the right theater installed to see them.)

[@MistorGator13]

RIGHT!!!!

[@therealCG62]

If anyone is using this as a startup tutorial, be aware that we found that it's usually better to wait until ~25% RPM to bring the throttle to idle (clicking the "cowlick"). Just waiting for SEC to extinguish and 20% seems to have a decent chance of causing a hot start. Not sure how realistic that is, there's footage here on youtube of an F-16 starting up with fuel introduced at 20% RPM and not burning itself up, but who knows, it takes like ten more seconds for the RPMs to climb up there and it has thus far avoided a hot start every time.

[@evansnyder8461]

It’s perfect, we need DCS’s competition to be advertised. Seeing we can get an entire full fidelity game for the price of the F-16 module anyways… I with the new 4.37 update it should be shown some love in the spotlight.

Welcome to BMS! It is overwhelming for everyone but, glad you are trying it out. Learning is part of the journey and nothing is more rewarding than flying a persistent, dynamic campaign with friends :) Also BMS really needs talented people such as yourself for some cool ~10 minute videos for people to see how much fun it can be.

[@Enigma89]

Thank you . Yeah I noticed that in the youtube space that most of the videos were really long which is a reason why I did not want to make this one. I promised myself that 2023 for me will be the year where I only make videos that I feel like making so I am going to shun away from guides, additionally I am not an expert in the F-16 so I will most likely make a video series of a campaign in BMS.

Glad to see videos like this I was just now switching to having shorter videos. There is a time and a place for 1 hour plus videos just make sure to include chapters. I might have to go back to my old style. Good to have you looking forward to flying together one day maybe even get into one of our training missions and even ground school. The cockpit is not a good classroom.

[@Enigma89]

Thanks but I am actually all caught up already I filmed this a month ago, a few minutes after I installed BMS. I need to go straight into the cockpit first and then double back on reading later. I sort of have to see it to have it in my head for when I read about it later. After playing this game for a month, I can say that I still think the F-16 is an incredibly boring plane because of how streamlined it is. Now despite that, I am still playing BMS, this is really a nod to how compelling the scenario is in the dynamic campaign. It would be really interesting if we had a SU-22 or a MIG-21 in this or a F-16A. The older janky planes are more of my jam 😀

[@Duvstep910]

@@Enigma89 the thing about BMS is you can install other theaters that have older blocks of the F-16 you can fly.

I gotta admit, that I haven't quiet given Falcon the love it deserves in recent years, but the recent launch of BMS 4.37 has made me diving into it again as well, after not having touched it much for almost a decade. After last weeks DCS newsletter I'm also really curious how the upcoming EDDCE for DCS will look like and if ED manages to get it anywhere close to the awesomeness of the Falcon campaign.

[@defenderbwe]

Great stuff !! And great tutorial !!

[@2BachShakur]

I know this was a month ago and not sure if you’ve done it yet so I’m just throwing this out there: I recommend using the alternative launcher if you don’t already. It makes it way easier to rebind keys and HOTAS controls (native BMS control binding is not user friendly). It also comes with several 3rd party program links that really enhance the experience. For instance, you can use the Weapon Delivery Planner to save mission data to your in-game kneeboard so you can look at airport data, frequencies, IFF codes, steerpoint info, etc. during a mission, in case you forget. Hopefully this helps.

[@waynegriswold8953]

i really enjoyied this video! one suggestion is when you are getting close to a target to reduce the range of the radar. example the first contact your radar was set to 160 and the contacts were at the very bottom of the screen, if you would have decreased the range to 20 or 40 it allows you to see the picture easier. also at the top row of buttons on the radar mfd there is a word NORM this is for normal view of the radar, if you press it, EXP will show up and its for expand and it will allow you to break out targets that are bunched very close together. on the hsd page there is a DEP and a DCPL if you press them one will bring the view to the center of the page and the other one makes the hsd follow the same distance as the radar. so if you zoom out the radar the hsd will zoom out to, if you zoom in the hsd does too. i enjoy seeing the variety of games you get into and it is cool to see a noob learn the ropes of a new game to them. PSs. have a fantastic NEW Year!

BMS, I just heard about this a few days ago and now thanks to this video I'm so interested in it. I'm surprised how close it is to DCS cold starts.

[@bloyamind]

Thanks for sharing this! It does show why Falcon BMS seems daunting to me, but great watch regardless. Not about this vid, but about others that DO say they're guides, they presume knowledge that presumes knowledge that presumes knowledge. And an encyclopedia full of abbreviations. They seldom explain why you're following the steps you're following. I guess it's also a problem of 'modern' with all it's systems, which is why I keep 'giving up' and go back to WWII warbirds ghehe, where I'm not following steps as much as knowing what's actually mechanically happening under the hood. That kinda appeals to me :). In any case, when I finally get around to firing up BMS again, this is definitely a video I'll be coming back to! It's one of the most clear around.

[@bloyamind]

Also playing the A4-E a bit in DCS, which is somewhere nicely on the edge of that.

[@ZaytexYT]

That's why the best way to learn is reading the manuals that come together with it. They show what everything does.

[@bloyamind]

@@ZaytexYT Thanks! Yes, agreed. I dabbled. However, still pretty daunting, as it's absolutely chock full of abbreviations and links to other manuals, also filled with abbreviations. I guess the trouble I'm having with the manual is that it's super complete. It's not something you can read in one go and remember. The scope is great, but it's difficult to gauge where to start. I guess that's where the tutorial manuals come in and I could use the other manuals as a reference, but It's a pretty big threshold/hurdle for me still. On the other hand, I do see the fun in slowly learning and having things click. The complexity does trigger me to want to actually learn as an act of resistance. Which is why I just watched another hour long video on BMS and replied to it I guess haha. I guess what I'm also saying on the side is, I wish there was something like BMS and it's dynamic campaign (and decent enemy AI) for older jets and warbirds too! And no stress, at some point I'll slowly dip my toes in a bit more.

[@ZaytexYT]

​@@bloyamindYeah, it sure is a packed manual, which can be a little discouraging at the start. Like you said, it's almost impossible to read in one go, so what i would recomend is picking something that you want to learn, whatever it is and do that till you really get it. At the end of the day, what really matters is if you're having fun while doing it or not, so do what you enjoy doing. Btw, IL2 is a good option for older birds. The campaign is not that good compared to BMS tho.

[@bloyamind]

@@ZaytexYT Thanks, I guess that would be the best approach :). I've been playing IL-2 Cliffs of Dover Blitz and Tobruk, because I really enjoy the flight model. But the AI is absolutely horrid in a dogfight. So I've been flying the Spit in DCS a lot lately. Also I've been playing a community made dynamic campaign (by theOden) of the Battle of Brittain for Blitz. It's good fun, but the doing a weird dance after half an hour of formation flight can be a bummer.

I've played the DCS Liberation mod a few years back. It was pretty good. Basically it's another application that runs the dynamic campaign and produces a DCS mission. Then when you finish the mission it'll read DCS's results file to see how you did and update the dynamic campaign.

If you get disconnected during a multiplayer sortie, the AI takes over for you, and you can just rejoin in your same jet to take it back from the AI. It's a really nice feature, and it also means people can't disconnect to deny their opponent a kill.

[@fuzzybloodpc9291]

[@Enigma89]

[@KenshiroPlayDotA]

How far was the nearest alternate airfield after getting hit ? Despite not having fired up Falcon BMS in years, it's etched in my memory that the glide ratio for the F-16 is 7:1, or if conservative and remembering the original Falcon 4.0 manual, for every 1000 ft of altitude, you can glide 1 nm, since 1 nm = 6076 ft. After being hit at 25K ft, you should be able to glide for at least 25nm. Just maintain the attitude that keeps a constant airspeed, and that should maximize the glide distance.

The launch warning was blaring at you for like 20 seconds before you did anything. He probably should have briefed you on what it sounded like. Guess this is your introduction to the F-16 since it makes the same sound in DCS. Also anything you learn in BMS regarding the use of F-16 systems for the most part transfers to DCS, at least for important things.

[@Enigma89]

I don't fly F-16s, this was my first time. I mostly fly Russian planes so the RWRs are mostly suggestions more than anything on top of that I have a massive disdain for fighting AI so I simply did not respect it. It was clear after the first sortie that the AI in BMS is smarter than I thought so I had to use the last month to adjust and adapt. I wasn't really planning on posting this video but people asked me to so I thought it would be nice to show what DAY 1 looked like to contrast it with future videos where I know what I am doing.

[@NuclearFalcon146]

@@Enigma89 Yeah, the AI in Falcon 4.0 caught me off guard many years ago. I was used to the AI in Falcon 3.0 and Janes USNF and ATF, which was much easier to cheese. I would imagine that BMS even has improvements over vanilla Falcon 4.0 AI and is something to be wary of. Also missile guidance in BMS is superior to DCS from what I hear. They path better and as a result have considerably longer effective ranges than they do in DCS. What looks like out of range in DCS may be well within range in BMS. I remember in vanilla 4.0 and Allied Force that I would regularly land AMRAAM hits at 40 miles. Yes it can be done in DCS but they seem harder to evade in BMS.

It works almost the same. I was using dogfight and missile override modes to switch between long range and short range engagements. Knowing more ways to switch between missiles and use the MFDs is great to have. Same with where all the tacan and fuel economy stuff is off the DDI.
