[@RadOTOW]

You might want to do some research on appropriate burst altitudes.

[@fisgasfighties]

@@RadOTOW I have to admit I'm not the most knowledgeable guy about the best burst altitudes, I don't use clusters very often. What would you recommend?

[@RadOTOW]

@@fisgasfighties - Your videos are very helpful, by the way. Well thought out. If you do a little research online, it will reflect the historical comments in the forum in the past about this subject: 2000-2500 feet for relative wide dispersal but possibly less individual damage, 1000-1500 feet for a tighter pattern with greater per-vehicle damage potential. But less than 1,000 feet is far too low to take advantage of the characteristics of this type munition. Also, don't forget the Mk-20D.

[@fisgasfighties]

@@RadOTOW thank you for the feedback! You're right, I didn't mention the Mk. 20, the variant I normally fly, the blk 52 doesn't carry it I think (or I didn't notice it on the munitions list). I should have checked more variants. About the burst altitude, those settings make sense, I'll pin your comment.

Thanks, Fisgas.

@@dasdguy7606 thank you for watching!

[@dasdguy7606]

@@fisgasfighties Yeah. no problem man. I found a tank column in my present campaign and want to use clusters. I say, let me see if Fisgas has something. Cool.

[@fisgasfighties]

@@dasdguy7606 which one did you use?

[@dasdguy7606]

@@fisgasfighties I'll use the ones for Hard targets more so than soft.

[@fisgasfighties]

@@dasdguy7606 good choice

[@ZingueZangue]

The HERO we all need. Can you do one about auto-pilot ?

[@fisgasfighties]

@@ZingueZangue I'm very flattered, but I'm just a guy trying to spread the knowledge and help out. I never thought about that, the autopilot in the F-16 is so simplistic, but I think someday I can do one about it.

[@ZingueZangue]

@@fisgasfighties You should be proud, short videos, to the point, just perfect. Amazing service to the community. I know they'r but for me I always manage to break then at some point and get "AP FAIL" and have to manually fly for hours.Im probably missing on something. But in any case the videos you'r already provided are amazing just keep doing what you'r doing.

[@fisgasfighties]

@@ZingueZangue hang on, you're getting an AP FAIL? During normal autopilot operation or is the TFR involved at any point when this happens?

[@Duvstep910]

@@ZingueZangue all you do is flick the two switches switches to steering select and altitude hold and you should be good; do not press the button because that's for the TFR

[@mikekal4472]

​@@ZingueZangue if you get an AP Fail it means you broke one or more of the AP parameters ( over g, high roll , pitch, low speed, etc. All you have to do to remove the fault is flip the FLCS reset switch and you are good to go.

[@sturmanaskie]

Why play this in 2024 when we have DCS

[@fisgasfighties]

@@sturmanaskie if you prefer DCS then by all means go enjoy it.

[@sturmanaskie]

What advantages does this have over DCS? Is there a bigger community?

[@fisgasfighties]

@@sturmanaskie I'm not sure about the size of the community, but BMS has a dynamic campaign, implementation of data cartridge which is essential for aircraft like the Viper

[@robertwallace4515]

Wow, dcs isn't even in the same league as bms. Especially once 4.38 comes out, the gap will be much larger.

[@ArchOfficial]

@@sturmanaskie Almost everything, as far as fixed wing jets are concerned. Compared to DCS F-16: More accurate avionics, flight model, failures, missile behavior, radar behavior, stores over-G, more customizability, better AI be it flight, combat, ATC, tanker etc., dynamic campaign engine with things like logistics, an actual working IADS, early warning radars, more accurate datalink and AWACS, it goes on. Oh and a high-fidelity F-15C. Soon F-15E as well among others. It's also really easy to frag missions and host a session. Far better performance too. DCS has, when it's not entirely broken, better FLIR modeling and some graphics features, better cluster munition modeling and...yeah that might be it. And some helos with bad flight models.
