Flying a Full Procedure Approach in Falcon BMS

[@JimmyBlonde]

Tutorials simply don't come any better than this riscfuture, well done and thanks.

[@4cGrom]

This is the best tutorial that I saw! It is all well explained. Good job you did Stretch. I hope you do more quality tutorials like this .

[@Van2808]

Great video! Your descriptions are excellent. Only big mistake was to set the CDI to the back course. (CFII)

[@thomasmaier7053]

Very informative and structured explaination, covers everything in detail... I think I'm hooked, keep the good work up.

[@tommyzDad]

Well presented. Thanks! 15:19 DME Arc: ~ DME Indicator *ABOVE* published DME, _TIGHTEN_ the turn to _decrease_ distance. ~ DME Indicator *BELOW* published DME, _WIDEN_ the turn.

[@methhoow]

Nothing else could help more, thank you!

[@riscfuture]

You're not the first person to say that, but on the flipside, I read in an AOPA article that military pilots are taught to set the reciprocal heading when coming off a DME arc.

[@SimDeck]

Really good stuff. Many thanks for taking the time to post this. Another part of BMS i'm gonna have to tackle :) Tutorial comes across really well :)

[@livingthedream0527]

Very kool, Choi use to speak highly of you when he was VMA-513 DetCo. Your training manual made it fun when it came time to teach new SNA's (I was the DetCo after Choi). You should jump on and play ArmA some time!

[@Van2808]

Well that would be quite interesting! It would make sense for a traditional VOR, but an HSI will display correct sensing for a LOC only with the front-course dialed. I'll have to look into that. Again, great video.

[@jamesring7991]

Awesome video, thank you! At 19:55 you hit the middle marker and go heads-up and you're aligned with the runway, but it's the wrong runway (approach is 34R, not 34L). Wouldn't a missed approach be wise here in any event? It looks like excessive maneuvering would be required to get to 34R.

[@Feintgames]

Amazing amount of info. Thanks!

[@SvenHazzel]

At 18:20 you say you should hold the alt until you intercept the glide slope from above. That is a big NO NO in instrument flying, you should always intercept it from below, the needle should always be above you. And also if you want to do this as you would in real, you should do a missed approach if you go over half scale deflection on your instrument as you do at 19:50. Regionalcomnet dont know if it has been answered but i think the reason for the difference in graphic is he is in 2d pit

[@prabe]

What button did you press or click to get the wind direction and speed when you were flying the outbound portion of the hold? Thank you very much for this tutorial, much appreciated!

[@bavella]

Thanks for this incredible tutorial!

[@riscfuture]

Probably also getting my IFR. I only got it a few months ago.

[@SplashHawk]

Nice, very nice ! Thank´s a bunch ! We want more !!! :)

[@jknowledgenet2748]

I love it,I was trying to figure out how this would work on a spinning ball and after watching this video it shows on airplane aviation there is no talk or measurements accounting for the globe,Rralize this 12 miles has alot of drop and alot of times there is way longer areas they have to view and they cant calculate any of it with spherical geometry.how do 99% of people not realize this.all planes level off on the 100% flat runway before take off and fly and keep altitude from following that level,if it was dropping on all side of you at all times there is no way ppssiball to calculate without spherical geometry.open your minds,I'm not saying anything wrong with the video this man has made.ots a great video,I'm Judy saying in general, like he says he wi fly directly there,not one time will he calculate for the ball earth,and how is that possiball? LoL I Judy like saying it that way because its impossiball we live on a spinning globe at 1040mph and we have planes flying flat and butterfly's just floating by.God bless

[@regionalcomnet]

Hi Tim, what mic are you using? Sounds like walkie-talkie radio. Very clear....

[@711Hancer]

great tutorial very professional thank you.

[@Jellybeantiger]

Great tutorial but I'm dumb so don't worry about me.Maybe in another life I will be able to enjoy BMS like you blokes.

[@ralph_f16simulator]

That! Was awesome 🤘😎

[@suds42]

Great tutorial bud.

[@riscfuture]

Yes, but unlike Falcon BMS, DCS A-10C does have a functioning rate of turn indicator underneath the HSI, so you can use that.

[@Flight231]

Excellent tutorial. Did you select QNH or QFE from tower?

[@regionalcomnet]

Hey Tim, thanks for the quick response. Ok so, i have bms on my Lenovo laptop but doesnt look like yours. The pit doesnt look clear, I am running win7,4gb ram, 250g hhd. 32-bit. Please help.

[@Flight231]

Thanks. In Russia they use QFE a lot. The barometer setting then gives the aircrafts height above the runway. Anyway, have you considered doing any Weapons instructional videos? Your instructional style is excellent.

[@Gospel-hochzeitenDe]

Incredible Video. Thanks...I love Falcon !!!!! I wonder if I can install this on win7.

[@ericplanamente5300]

you can... but you need BMS mod (free....) to be installed on a genuine copy of the game...

[@ericplanamente5300]

oooops.... just noted that I replied to an 8 year old comment... ^^

[@SplashHawk]

Any chance you could make a tuto on how to use a Navigation Heading/Bearing/Intercept wheel ? plizzzz. Thanx

[@livingthedream0527]

Tim Morgan? As in the Tim Morgan that was once Captain Tim Morgan VMA-513 in the 15th MEU (SOC) Realism Unit?

[@foxone41]

GREAT TUTO MAN!!!! CNGRATULATIONS!!!!!

[@Onejob2001]

Top marks. Excellent!

[@pappoulakis]

Great.Thank you very much!

[@jayveecee1]

Awesome, thank you Sir.

[@fockewolf6]

is there a way to put charts and maps in the cocpit without putting pilot in?

[@Senor0Droolcup]

This is really helpful, thanks!!

[@Cryton12345]

Is there any way to have the Kneeboard inside 3d world? or am I forced to go out of 3d world before mission and read up?

[@biffrapper]

Amazing. Thanks man!

[@8ASIMULATORS]

Hey ! thank you for your tutorial. Do you know how to display the knee board with your Approach chart and radio Frequancies? Or the game does not have those? thanks!

[@riscfuture]

I dunno, I'm not really in the troubleshooting business ... is your resolution set to maximum? Check your anti-aliasing settings. Or your graphics settings generally.

[@ramiveiberman3182]

Great Bideo. I tried yesterday to do ILS approach to Ramat David AB in BMS 4.33 ITO and it was a mess. Few questions: 1 Don't you like to use the steering cue on the Hud? It makes life easier, isn't it? 2 Certain airfields in falcon have only 1 runway with ILS, and it isn't necessary the most suitible one to land at. what d you do then? 3 how to do you compensate for wind in the "heads down" approach? the hud does have compensation but here you don't. Thanks for the grid Vid.

[@eddievhfan1984]

+Rami Veiberman It can (and does), but I was watching a video by +Krause yesterday where he got nailed by flak during a night mission, and it killed his HUD and MFDs. He had to navigate eyes down before he was in sight of the runway lights (though he did perform a visual landing).

[@riscfuture]

+Rami Veiberman 1. Yes, but proficiency requires practicing without the steering cue just in case you lose the HUD one day. 2. You can perform a circling approach, where you fly the approach to the published circling minimums, then circle-to-land visually to the desired runway. Or, you can land with a crosswind. 3. You find a heading that keeps the CDI centered and not drifting.

[@xatumiller2]

Would the formula for calculating the bank angle be effective for a a-10c?

[@riscfuture]

Yep!

[@-_Nuke_-]

That's too much work! I'll just set insurability on and land vertically xD Thanks for the video Morgan that was very instructive

[@Jellybeantiger]

Got a tutorial for the tutorial?

[@RioFalconBmsBrasil]

It's been a while since you answered someone here, but i'll try: I want to know why did you have to reach 160 radial? where did you get it from? Thank you for teaching us!!

[@riscfuture]

The final approach course is shown as 340°, the reciprocal of that is the 160 radial from the airbase.

[@cesarzamora2959]

Hi Tim, in BMS if an airport chart in particular does not show any info on IAF at all nor an specific approach procedure my question is do I need to land following overhead approach in that case. I’ve seen charts that don’t even show turn radials either. thanks Tim

[@riscfuture]

The only charts you should reference in BMS are the ones that come with the sim, in the Documentation folder. Some airports have charted approaches and some don't. All those that do should have an IAF that you can commence the approach from. If the airport does not have a charted approach, you cannot land there IFR.

[@Jellybeantiger]

Watched this 2 times and still don't understand it.Is there a noob guide on ils landing because this one is too hard.

[@regionalcomnet]

I'll check all that then, didnt know..Lol. thanks Tim.

[@j_c_1]

For the holding pattern, how did you determine where to draw the line to separate between the direct entry and the teardrop entry/parallel entry?

[@riscfuture]

+John Celmer In the cockpit, the rule of thumb is to place your thumb on the left or right side of the HSI (depending on direction of turns in the hold) and draw a line as shown in this photo: www.langleyflyingschool.com/Images/Handbook%20References/holds%207%20Pod%20method.gif Mathematically, that line is 20° offset from the 90° line: www.langleyflyingschool.com/Images/Handbook%20References/holds%202%20Sectors%20normal.gif

[@Vorox144]

now do one a tut on how to fly a DME ARC or a rnav approach thats the only app i dont know how to do i was using this tut for FSX flying :)

[@enesicoz2357]

Thanks!

[@TigerMotionPictures423]

It's time for update for this video

[@kgd192]

For flying the arc just keep the bearing pointer on the 90° index ;) which you allready do btw ;)

[@GZA036]

7:35 Nah man, got the terminology wayyy mixed up..... the Decision Height (DH) is simply the _height_ above ground level of the Decision Altitude (DA) DA is for a precision approach like the ILS. When you reach that altitude on the glidepath, you must immediately make the decision: land or go missed. A non precision approach has an MDA - Minimum Descent Altitude. At the MDA you can level off and hunt for the airport until you reach the MAP.

[@jurgenvanimpe6465]

Great tutorial, I was practicing this yesterday, but I never actually heard the marker beacons nor did I see the light flash. Am I overlooking things? I entered the TACAN channel and ILS and I switched the mode to TCN/ILS at the final straight. Also the sound of the ILS sound knob is fully clockwise. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! Cheers and great upload!

[@eddievhfan1984]

+Jurgen Van Impe Are you sure the base you approached had marker beacons installed? Some ILS installations omit them completely, requiring you to use the TACAN for ranging information.

[@jurgenvanimpe6465]

Kyle Tekaucic I think it was Kunsan runway 18 which has the approach above the sea so no beacon there. Worked on other places though. Thanks

[@eddievhfan1984]

Yeah, some over-water approaches may have marker beacons installed on barges or buoys, though. I believe Gibraltar does that, either as a visual or marker beacon.

[@craftypilot3]

Tim, i downloaded kunsan approach chart, and it has something different than yours, there is a little triangle between the iaf and dme arc, also there is dme15 and dme 20.. i don't understand this well 0_o

[@riscfuture]

Triangles are intermediate fixes between the IAF and the MAP.

[@Q8_BoRashed]

20:41 what do you mean by Angels 7?

[@micograal182]

5 years late but hopefully this still helps , it’s a altitude code brevity ex: 15000ft is 15Angels

[@ebubekircagrsen7824]

Hello, this is wonderfull. Would you allow me to translate and make a new video from yours by mentioning you. Cheers.

[@riscfuture]

No problem

[@dhultgren1]

Good stuff TIm...er Stretch :0)

[@riscfuture]

Yes, I'm an instrument pilot IRL so I know both of these things. Sorry it wasn't perfect.

[@Jellybeantiger]

Still don't understand this 1 iota.

[@riscfuture]

I run it under Win7.

[@riscfuture]

Yes, I let the needles get away from me towards the end.

[@Rasmorak]

Man, that is way more involved than pressing the approach button in the Airbus.

[@Frederic_Lord]

Altitude of 7,000 feet.

[@Jellybeantiger]

Bugger this.I will just use the waypoint and use my eyes to land.All this would take me 5 years to figure out.

[@Rasmorak]

+Jellybeantiger I felt the same a year ago, when you posted this. My first online campaign mission I ever flew with other people was in weather straight out of hell. I learned a lesson that day.

[@fredj63]

Jester lol

[@Jellybeantiger]

You lost me at the 14.25 min mark.Sobs I will never understand the HSI in my lifetime (cuts wrists)

[@c.castro4630]

This is amazing and intimidating. I think BMS is just not for me.

[@Jellybeantiger]

Lol.way over my small brain.Couldn't understand the radial stuff and still don't know .Brain just too small to understand :-(

[@calumlittle2]

So I'm not supposed to do a split s and just stall onto the runway like a baws? Aww, better shape up.

[@riscfuture]

Nothing special, just the mic on my Sennheiser headset.
