I'll admit, I've not messed with the different modes and just leave it in normal as I play missions. However, when flying campaign missions, I find that the RWR is quite noisy with lots of friendlies (15, 16, 4, P) cluttering up the display. The incessant beeping I quell by turning down the threat warning volume on the left console which probably doesn't help. I've quickly read the manual on the RWR, and it gives general functions for the different handoff modes, but not necessarily how to use the display in combat. I guess the only info that might be useful in my situation is that in Diamond Float, it "gives the max SA". I reviewed the last mission I got shot down and there definitely was a 29 and 19 on the display before I went down, but it was kind of hidden, mixed with all the friendly contacts.

How should the RWR be used in combat missions? Are pilots putting the RWR in Diamond Float during fence in? Will the display be cluttered with buddy spikes in diamond float or is there a way to filter out the friendly contacts on this display?

Thanks. Just trying to improve my cospilot skilz.

I'm able to run DCS in VR quite nicely at Ultra resolution in Virtual Desktop, so with BMS being an older game I expected it to run even better. I was surprised to find out I can barely run it at 60fps with medium graphics and anti-aliasing. I've already tweaked a lot of the user config, which did make things better, but it just seems odd to me that DCS looks a lot better while also running smoothly at 72fps with medium-high settings.

Is BMS just more demanding than DCS now with the latest patch?

Supporting new hardware is only as good as people with the hardware being able to create templates for others to use, this is always the most valuable contribution you can make!

Moza have sent me their entire product pack, but I need help converting these into templates for the community - If you're interested please reach out!

We have a dedicated page for understanding how to create them - https://www.joystick-diagrams.com/templates/custom/

I heard that amd had issues with 4.38 when it released. How is it now? Can any amd users report? Thinking of upgrading gpu.

Hi DCS F-16 lover.

This plane is my baby ever since my time in the air force. I come in from DCS to get a taste for my beloved SUFA, wanted to know if there are any up to date guides and videos on how to get started in BMS since the UI felt like a lot to remember and do.

Setup IVC, weapon delivery planner, frag missions. Installs.

I've seen some guides but most are 2-3 years old and I don't know if they're still relevant.
