Falcon BMS 4.37 Tutorial - AIM-9 Sidewinder and Dogfight mode

[@ufo8mycat]

Hey thanks for making these. I picked up BMS recently coming from DCS and was lamenting the lack of a series of to-the-point tutorials for various weapons and systems which are really common for DCS modules. Plus much of the material for BMS on KZbin is super old, so getting something concise AND fresh is awesome. These are exactly what I needed. 👍

[@fisgasfighties]

Thank you! Yeah I tried to stay away from all the super minute explanations but sometimes I can't avoid it.

[@herveledref636]

Excellent and very useful tuto - Thank you for all these very detailed and complete explanations 😉

[@fisgasfighties]

@@herveledref636 thank you for watching and for your kind words!

[@martwint6]

Nice tutorials! Keep going. My 2 cents, you can change slave and bore mode by pressing and holding the enable button.

[@fisgasfighties]

I didn't know about that feature, thank you!

[@whammo11224]

Where's the enable button? Thanks in advance.

[@martwint6]

@@whammo11224 On the throttle.

[@fisgasfighties]

@@whammo11224 you're looking for a key called "cursor enable", by default it's on the throttle, on the TM Warthog it's when you press on the radar cursor

[@whammo11224]

@@fisgasfighties Thank you!

vertical scan tutorial is needed this happens too much when enemy is too close to you at low visibility or at night very hard to spot you know the direction but can't get them on radar no time for antenna elevation please make a video of how to deal with this situation! thanks.

[@fisgasfighties]

@@youssefidbella5979 when I eventually make a tutorial about BFM I'll mention vertical scan as it can be very useful in those situations

AT 11:05, target AA is 170 right, not 17. Target is hot 10 degrees to the right(170 + 10 = 180) 180 being 12 o clock hot. It's rounded, 17 degrees right would show AA 02R and that will mean you are slightly left from his 6 o clock

[@fisgasfighties]

So what you're saying is that value is actually the target's heading and not its relative position relative to the nose of my aircraft?

Thanks for the vid :)

[@fisgasfighties]

Thank you for watching!

[@cyrotechnium]

what's the default key/button for locking up a target on the radar?

[@fisgasfighties]

@@cyrotechnium it's TMS Forward/Up

[@cyrotechnium]

@@fisgasfighties thanks ive been trying to lock radar targets for like a week lol

[@fisgasfighties]

@@cyrotechnium awesome!

[@iloveamerica1776]

I pretty much only use the F-16A, so I don't have to learn AMRAAMs and Sparrows lol

[@fisgasfighties]

@@iloveamerica1776 you make it work with just the sidewinders?

[@iloveamerica1776]

@ Israeli F-16As and ANG F-16As only carried sidewinders to my knowledge, so I make it work

[@TheArcticFoxxo]

AIM-9Xs shouldn't have a WARM/COOL function.

[@fisgasfighties]

@@TheArcticFoxxo they don't have that IRL?

[@TheArcticFoxxo]

@@fisgasfighties No, they don't. There's a cryocooler for this that replaced the Argon cooler for the earlier InSb seekers.

[@fisgasfighties]

@@TheArcticFoxxo I see. Maybe the BMS team isn't aware of this functionally?

[@TheArcticFoxxo]

@@fisgasfighties It was more than likely carried over from early SMS functions of missiles, and code for the 9X was copy/pasted from the 9L/M.

[@fisgasfighties]

@@TheArcticFoxxo probably. If what you're referring to is mentioned in an open source document I'd say send it to the BMS team, I'm sure they'd try to implement the system in an accurate way.
