You're shitting me right?

Adam Reed
Nope. Had to figure it out on my own. And it doesn't always work, I'm still not 100% sure of the controls, and I don't have a head tracker. I still enjoy the shit out of the game though, splashing MiG-29's on a 2 for 1 basis through basically going head on and zooming through their formation while popping slammers all over.
...Wait, THAT's what that was? Holy fuck thanks user
Grayson Walker
How terrible are the other flyable planes in BMS? The cockpits are still clickable, right? The systems aren't exactly the same, but it is still better than flaming cliffs style models, right?
Jace Powell
No FC3 is better, because they get F16 huds.

just kill yourself.
Justin Stewart
Why does the f-15 gun have such a huge deal of spread? Is it even realistic?
Angel Jackson
t.Ivan whos butthurt because everyone plays BMS now instead of buying his 60$ campaign
Not ivan, and i don't really play either right now.
Matthew Green
What. That thread is about the Gazzlel.

Nathaniel James
So, I bought silent hunter 3 via steam. Does the GWX mod work with the steam version?
Blake Rivera
Yes. Read the fucking pastebin for more mods, as vanilla GWX is lackluster to say the least.
Liam Rogers
>remember I used to make plane kits as a kid >remember that I still have a Su-27 UB in a box that I didn't even debind Fuck, I wish I had a spare room dedicated to painting kits with a compressor.
Thomas Watson
I read the pastebin but I don't want a hyper realistic experience, just enhance my game a bit s-senpai
Isaac Gutierrez
Get the Stiebler/HSIE series of patches then. They make the game more realistic AND easier.
Liam Gonzalez
Oh, and you can use them with GWX too.
Daniel Jenkins
Probably not relevant to most here since there are so few of us, but if anyone is using Morphine's warthog profile for BMS, be aware that the latest version of target breaks it. Something to do with double binding dx18 means that CMS left doesn't work. If you encounter the problem just use an older version of target. You'll lose the use of the new TM pedals in target, but I'm betting that anyone already using the warthog already has a set of pedals and doesn't need TM's shitty new nut crackers.
Noah Bailey
>Using other peoples shitty non ergonomic profiles.
yeah no.
James Adams
>Actually wanting to go through the fun that is binding shift states and stuff for BMS
Henry Walker
Has anybody tried Rogue System yet? It looks like it's trying to be a 'hardcore' Space simulator
Benjamin Rodriguez
Fuck off faggot. A month ago people here were bitching because no one was playing BMS when there were already pre made profiles. I don't want to spend my time mapping keys and fucking around in editors when there are well know and perfectly good profiles available, not to mention that I still would have had to use target and had exactly the same problem.
Justin Cooper
It's pretty promising so far if you're into that sorta thing, it's just coming along pretty slowly so there's not that much to it yet, though the next update is supposed to finally tie up the basis of the first ship.
Still had hours of fun in it just fucking up my orbital transfers and trying that mission where you have to dock with a spinning station that's falling out of orbit and then try to boost it back into a stable orbit.
I hope the Steam release doesn't fuck up horribly.
Nolan Long
I previously had no interest in the game at all, but your description makes it sound exciting.
Justin Cruz
>'hardcore' Space simulator
The only hardcore space sim is Orbiter (except for that shitty unrealistic spaceplen), fuck off.
Parker Foster
I'm not buying access to a pre alpha of a fantasy craft with nothing to do. Yeah it looks good, but there's no point to it.
Cameron Russell
>doesn't want to bind stuff him self to learn the keys and what they do
>will learn all the systems and how the campaign works no problem though
Explain???????
Brayden Sanders
Thank you, gonna download them!
Christian Bailey
I saw Scott Manley's video on it, and it seems to be devoid of content. Maybe it'll have some actual content in a matter of a few years.

Which BMS theater do I install?
Bentley Kelly
WUT!?! F-5 FKING WHEN
Wyatt Collins
Man,I just checked the link. I got trolled
Jace Powell
Is anyone actually looking forward to the Strait of Hormuz map? The whole thing looks flat as fuck, apart from these few hills, so you could just climb a bit and start slamming AIM-54s around, which doesn't seem that exciting.
Bentley Collins
Where do you find the theaters? Also, seconding this question.
Wyatt Taylor
Jews and Balkans are pretty neat. Haven't touched any other ones.
They're on the BMS forums.
Thomas Hall
redfor soon to be btfo
Angel Reed
No clue about the map, but I am excited about F/A-18s
>marines getting jailed for banter Bootnecks are getting fucked here desu
Connor Stewart
It looks like there are pretty steep mountains along the coastline of Iran and the UAE, the main super flat area is pretty much where dubai is.
However I do agree with you compared to the caucuses it's pretty damn flat. Having Dubai in there and an actual sea with desert is kind of cool though. Seems like a decent place for carrier ops and chopper ops would probably be fun.
It's really hard to know this maps value until it releases though.
Leo Baker
I don't know, this whole 50 dollars for a map, is kind of a meh thing.
Aaron Young
>he didn't watch out for power cables
Matthew Diaz
Any ops tonight lads?
Mason Phillips
You're welcome to suck my dick and call that an op.
Michael Gonzalez
Not if I get you to suck me off first princess
Jace Hall
bms ops when
Jonathan Johnson
Gentlemen please. I'll suck you both off
Joseph Bailey
I'll be down for some when I get off work
Juan Scott
Still got another hour on my train home. If I'm home before ops start I'm game

>DCS: Sniper Team In The Back is actually happening
lmao what
seriously though why is like every goddamn dev team so tight-lipped about what they're doing on upcoming projects? BST basically never say anything at all until they release it, LNS says they'll do a post on something and then two months later say that it had to be pushed back...
I just want my aeroplanes

so, /simg/, what's your flight sim setup?
No pictures handy, but >secondhand TM warthog with a gimbal stickier than sin >ch pro pedals with similar stiction issues >TIR5
I kinda wanna pick up one of those cougar mfd things and hack together a functional MFD display with it but I'm shit with electronics so I'd probably just end up wasting money.
Tyler Turner

there are probably guides online for the MFD things
>hat+dpad that don't work when throttle is >10%, sticky pedals
That makes no sense.
Evan Miller
I actually got a pair of those for Christmas and I've been using them without building any screen for it. I've looked into it, but there's no screens that perfectly fit inside it, so it's always going to look a bit weird.
It does come with plastic slides so you can print your own inserts. I got really annoyed at how silly what Thrustmaster puts in the stock cards, so I printed out screenshots of the MFDs from Falcon BMS and use those instead. The nice thing is, they match up with what's typically on those screens anyway.
As for using it without any monitor, even just having access to all those MFD OSBs without having to fumble for the mouse and looking at them with TIR was game changing. It really made BMS a hell of a lot more enjoyable for me because it's so much easier and faster than clicking them in the 3D pit.
Elijah Cook
T16gorillionsM, homemade headtracking. As soon as I get a fucking job and some spare money I'll get myself a nice pair of VKB pedals and a proper headtracking clip.
