[@simgaminglifeofficial]

Well done man! Cool video very informative for newcomers 🙌 BMS ftw

[@cerberus0351]

I’m beginning to be torn on the subtitles. Thoughts?

[@enzo.n.aguiar]

Nice video, very useful to get my feet wet on BMS 4.7 after some time whitout flying since Allied Force & Open Falcon.

[@cerberus0351]

Oh man, that's a long time off the stick! I'm glad I could help get you back into such a great sim

[@charalamposkatsogr8566]

[@cerberus0351]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@jakobole]

Get the TMS and DMS hats mapped to two hats on your stick - those are crucial.

[@cerberus0351]

lol. They are. I have about 600 hours in the f16 😉

[@thebiggestoneyouveverhad]

Nice!

[@cerberus0351]

Thank you! Cheers!

I would've added a section for headtracking, where you could talk about how to use opentrack and something like FreePIE IMU. You can strap a cell phone to a pair of headphones and get headtracking without the need to get any extra hardware.

[@cerberus0351]

Opentrack works great in BMS with a webcam but I have it cause problems in DCS. I preach head tracking instead of high end flight gear. It’s a must have for me. I don’t usually use opentrack since I have trackIR so I may not be the most qualified to go in depth with open track. But that’s not a terrible video idea!

[@Tom-qf3mq]

There was something that made no sense to me. On the preconfigured flight plan, I never saw a steer point 99, so why would steer point 99 be stored as a target? Thank you for taking the time to create & upload this video.

[@cerberus0351]

Great question. I chose 99 because I know it will never be a steerpoint on my actual flight plane. So I can use the gps coordinates of the target and store it as an arbitrary steerpoint for getting the data to the bomb later. You could use any steerpoint you’d like. A lot of people start at 25 but I like to go to 99 and work backwards so I can use 25+ for mark points if I need them on the fly

[@BenjaminSchiel]

Hey, this is actually a nice intro to BMS, but what the heck are these annoying subtitles supposed to be? Nobody can read that, its just distracting and causes headache. Please don't put these in your next videos!

[@cerberus0351]

Guess why they are there? Because people said I should add them to videos. Can’t please everyone 🤷‍♂️😂

[@Wheelman_PCAS]

@@cerberus0351subtitles should be SUBTLE! But cool video ;-)

[@NightmarishAngel413]

​@@cerberus0351make them less obnoxious please, it's overwhelming

[@charalamposkatsogr8566]

​@@cerberus0351 iliked the subs😅 just sayin

[@expertnewbie]

@@cerberus0351 This is KZbin, not TikTok. KZbin has its own captioning system. Either way the subtitle pop-in is obnoxiously bad, you could've just shown the text without the incredibly annoying zoom effect. It's already barely tolerable for a 30-second video, but headache-inducing for a 30-minute one. No other flight-related channel does subtitles like this in their videos, and this is why.

[@RDD756]

nice tutorial but those subtitles are godawful lol, they show up once per word and just flash lol

[@KashouWannabe]

Indeed. More of a distraction than anything else. Almost seizure inducing. I skipped forward a bit hoping to gleam some actual useful information past the installing part and it's still there, and I'm like "nope, I'm out".

[@cerberus0351]

So what you’re saying is add more strobing effects! Got it 😉

[@the_bloody_sniper5669]

Falcon moment!!!😊

[@omon316]

Cool video, but a SA-14 is a MANPADS (Man Portable Air Defense System) so its very mobile! :D

[@cerberus0351]

Oh... You're absolutely right! Manpads are definitely mobile. This is where my DCS knowledge starts to bite me... BMS has some nuances, especially in the tacmap, that are different enough to trip over.

[@omon316]

How can I config BMS, so that 2D is in window mode, so BMS is a different res and 3d in Fullscreen res?

[@cerberus0351]

I don't know if you can. 2d and 3d both use the same client window from what I'm aware of. I could be wrong though, I've never had this need. I'd ask on the BMS forums, you'll find someone there that knows for sure!
