@@chrisj7656 glad to hear you got it sorted and thanks for the correction. I’ll need to make a new version as there are new additions of systems coming to the Eagle in the next releases and we have the JTIDS power up procedure to add that came with U4. Did you fly Eagles or did you fix them after the pilots broke em?

Probably spent a good amount of time unbending that stick, after the pilots pulled on it too hard.

@@rockwellh6910 it’s a texture mod, available on the BMS forums :)

@@__Dusty_ Thanks. Will look into it

That's very kind words but honestly, we are big fans of the Razbam F-15E, they have set the bar extremely high for their quality of 3d model, FM, radar and avionics. We are striving to match their quality some day in the future.

@@__Dusty_ you're welcome and don't be so modest hehe

why would you want to port this full fidelity F15C in a sterile environment ? This beasts are made to combat in full scale realistic war. Not sand boxes PvP airquakes

Sadly, both communities have plenty of people who talk a lot of trash about the other sim. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. I think the issue with DCS is that bc people pay quite a lot of money for modules that are often buggy or subject to longstanding DCS core issues, it makes them quite vocal in their dissappointment.

@@__Dusty_ That is a common factor that comes up in r/hoggit, but such people have no concept of proportional work and effort. How complex is it to make and manage a sim/platform like DCS. And it's all too common of a pattern that BMS is the one and only "clearly better" sim. It's not like anyone is comparing to any other combat flight sim. That's why it's toxic. No one is being genuine about how much their money should get them considering DCS for what it is, and aims to be. The "constantly buggy" state you mention, I'm sure exists for some of the less popular modules, but often it is some functionality that isn't super critical for a platform and the complainer is overblowing it. If the fuel page for the F/A-18 is busted and I can't tell what the optimal endurance altitude and speed are, I wouldn't consider the F/A-18 broken, but over in r/hoggit, it's unflyable in some hairline necessary scenario that someone will claim is the bread and butter of all missions. Again, it's that anti-DCS gaslighting that makes people say "oh, it's a buggy mess" when I rarely run into game breaking bugs -- thought F-15E was the first and only non-ED developed module I've purchased. I've seen BogeyDope, a real F-16C crew chief I believe, post videos of updates of the F-16C changes since early access has been available. It's rare, but happens that I catch him saying "_____ was completely broken before and now it's fixed." Never has he said "oh yeah, couldn't at all use the F-16 for an entire class of mission because ___ was broken." A vast majority of what happens are improvements or adjustments towards higher accuracy and completing implementation, but rarely changes how you would fly the F-16 in DCS. It's one of those "the internet says over and over again" but does your actual experience constantly do that.

Haha yeah it's a bit of a joke.

Lmao, nice troll. But the genuine answer is that people who enjoy combat flight simulators that are less arcade and more on systems depth and environmental depth will always prefer BMS over DCS. Personally, I like both.

Because a combat simulator is much more than nice GFx :)

I didn’t know’VTOL VR but now I understand what beeing a big Troll means 😂😂

Absolutely, the way that BMS is structured from a UI/UX perspective, it effortlessly protrays the processes of planning and flying fighter missions in the modern age. The dynamic campaign is the most immersive experience available of any combat flight sim and even when you become very experienced, it still throws curveballs at you. The thing about BMS, is that it's not just one element, but the confluence of the air/sam AI, campaign engine and UI that gives an unparalleled experience.

@@__Dusty_ why can't dcs do this is what i want to know

@@cyborgbadger1015 who knows, might be because they can't charge for it or because it would require such a massive re-write of their entire game.

I don't think it was possible for me to have a similar experience. I got Falcon 4.0 on release and I did not have then nor ever owned or played Flanker (the earliest precursor to DCS). Most PCs I had since then could not run LOMAC multiplayer and I could not play DCS until recently when I finally bought a gaming rig so I was stuck with Falcon 4.0 and derivatives (mostly Allied Force). The one thing I will say DCS wins out on is flying helicopters... for now.

It's 'Toxic' by worst grin beats! Forgot the credit, whoops!

@@__Dusty_ thx <3

Absolutely. Flankers won't know what hit 'em!

To be honest, our radar is nowhere near as complex as the strike Eagle! It will get more love and become even more real in future updates though. Definitely do download and try it. After all it’s FREE! DCS is great and does some things really really well, and for sure the graphics are better, but with the new aircraft models and PBR that came with U4 - BMS is looking amazing. Also, for modern BVR combat, BMS is hands down the best replication of any sim!

@@__Dusty_ I don't know man, the acquisition controls are pretty much 1-1. Yall are killing it and you've earned yourself another guy wanting to try it. I'll be doing a download today for sure since it really sows look incredible. Thanks for the hard work and can't wait to try it 💫

Yup.

Love the ZZ jets 👌

Totally understandable! I play both sims as I love helicopters in DCS and the strike Eagle. Yo don’t need any mods to get VR working! It has VR support built right in :)

@@__Dusty_ man i think im going to HAVE to play…..

Thank you!!

Check out Aviation Plus youtube.com/@aviationplus?si=E8vtjQGEGmIguGfi He has a video tutorial for everything!

@@__Dusty_ ah thanks, I've been running into a problem tryna update, every time I hit update, it says "a update has been found" I click "Ok" and it does absolutely nothing lol

you're not the only one, bro.)

But now we will get "abandoned" F-15E Strike Eagle because the drama😢

​@@edwinalwy2039, That's why I'm going to play BMS again. This and the dynamic campaign

@@edwinalwy2039 I would not be surprised if BMS gets a full F-15E because 3D assets for a Strike Eagle cockpit ALREADY EXIST in BMS and a lot of the systems needed can be transferred over from the F-15C. The only thing that will be missing is multi-crew functionality. Functionally the F-15E is already playable; it just has F-16 MFDs, sounds, and HOTAS commands.

Thanks Tricker!!

Nope, ILS and TCN is new! Forgot to mention it in the video 😣 No A/A TCN yet though.

@@__Dusty_ happy to hear it! I left the f15 aside after missing a couple of must haves, but looking at it now it’s feature complete as far as mission readiness goes; time to knock that switchology back into memory

Haha, I’m on board!

Just wait for 4.38 and the graphic improvements.

@@EpicNinjaRides Nah, I don't play BMS for the graphics, but sure it will be a great addition to the experience. Like when we add ortho tiles in X-Plane

Thanks mate! Incredible work on the U4 trailer, really appreciate your work!

@@__Dusty_ Thank you very much Dusty! Means a lot! Micro is a hero as well, he helped enormously! BMS team is ♥️

@@simgaminglife4392 Agreed! Can't wait to see the video's that come out for 4.38!

@@__Dusty_ When the time comes, I’ll make sure we make some noise 😎🤙🙌

They lived a long life and had a ton of BMS moments together 😂

Hope you enjoy it Wheelman! You can drop GP bombs now too so ‘technically’ it’s now a CAS platform! 🤣

@@__Dusty_ No way I didn't expect this so soon!!

Yeah that's such a sad situation. I'm a huge fan of the RB F-15E. Their radar model is out of this world. Huge respect for their module, hopefully they can continue to work on it one day.

@@__Dusty_ yeah I just wish it was anyone other than razbam building it. its a great module for sure, but its razbam.

@@utley never had any issue with them personally, but I’m not fully across all the DCS drama lol. Looks like they definitely hired the right people for the Strike Eagle tho :)

​@@utleyI dont get the Razbam hate. Their modules are not bad, especially considering the DCS engine.

@@freakmusicaddict you would have had to bought their modules in FSX or P3D to really understand. They play the blame game, its never their fault when something doesnt go their way. First experienced that when I tried to tell them their AV-8B was broken in navigation when their GR7/9 worked just fine, and their excuse (why did they need one?) was that it was FSX that was the problem and Microsoft was the one that needed to fix it. Why? It worked fine in one of their aircraft, the code couldnt have been that dissimilar to each other...Im just sick of Razbam and their excuses.

No JHMCS at this stage. MRM time-to-active is a really important feature but it did not make it for U4 sadly.

@@__Dusty_ oof. Oh well, the other features make up for it 😁

@@__Dusty_what about the RWR ramp start aural tone bug?

@@Wheelman_PCAS Fixed!!

Hell yeah it will!!

I want in DCS

@@freakmusicaddict I think there's long range boresight on strike eagle as one of the aacq modes? But pretty confident that ED will never add it to the FC3 F-15C

@nubbins70 the f15e isn't supported anymore tho :(

​@@MusicByNemo1I mean it still *works* for the most part, though at current you have to change your OS date to be June 12th after DCS launches, so that your radar isn't frozen. I use Long Range Boresight mode all the time in DCS, because alot of the time, I can visually spot the target out to 20+nmi, so it's alot easier to just lock the radar that way.

Hey! Since making this video I upgraded to a winwing Orion base as well (F15EX version). So it’s totally possible by using those commands. I’m away from the PC but I’ll double check what I set and get back to you. There should be specific binds for both engines though

it's the FlyUIA virtual sounds that are a part of the vAMSYS ACARS client.

@@__Dusty_ so like it's a specific sound for a specific livery and a specific server?

@@TotRuAv0015 kind of, many of the airlines that use vAMSYS have their own sounds that play different messages at different times. Really it's just a feature that many virtual airlines have in their ACARS

@@__Dusty_ oh nice

Thanks mate, heaps of new features coming with the next BMS update. I'll make a video for all of them!
