Hello, I need to find out if it’s possible to shorten an ACMI that lasts 1 hour to a shorter version focusing on a specific action I need to study: is that possible?

I’d thought of extracting the contents of the zip file and searching through it to see if there was a chronological timestamp so I could cut out everything I’m not interested in, but it turned into a disaster.

Hi guys, I was looking for a short campaign to play and I decided to try the Balkans theater for the first time in 4.38.

The map is stunning, but I crashed, or rather my game froze with sound keeping on, two times on the same spot on the map.

It was my first sortie in the Under Siege campaign, I crashed in the area around central Serbia. I found many posts on the forum regarding these weird freeze-crashes, do I have to give up on this theater? I am on the latest version of BMS and I downloaded the latest version of the theater + the 1.2 hotfix.

For now I uninstalled it, I am a bit recluctant to try it again and lose more hours of playtime

So I’ve been trying to make the jump from doing TE’s over to actually starting a campaign. I’ve done this OCA strike missions a few times both as strike and escort. My main issue is that the flight plan, the campaign generated, doesn’t line up with the runway. Once during the approach I got confused and collided with friendly a10’s taking off🫣

I tried changing the flight plan to match the angle of the runway but I think it messes with the time on target and flags some of the steering lines/points red. I also felt like I was too separated from the strike team when trying to escort them. How can I adjust my flight plan without it breaking? Also I’m embarrassed to ask but how do I know which way to land? I was following instructions but the right runway was occupied and used for takeoff? Was I approaching from the wrong side?

When doing the OCA strike is it possible to select two separate target points on the runway? I click recon and then select the point it drops me in at.

I also struggle to lock onto enemy planes with the FCR I made sure to be in MRM mode, but most of the time I can’t lock on even at less than 30NM. I kinda have to spam TMS up until it locks on. Any tips for using the FCR? I’ll rewatch the Fisgas guide again tonight.

Thanks for reading and any input!

I have a very bad pc and I want to play a flight sim that is at least somewhat realistic compared to let’s say War Thunder, I will most likely buy a Logitech extreme 3d pro flight stick. Do you guys think that it’s worth it or should I just get a much better pc and play Falcon BMS or DCS? Also does the base game come with a fully functional cockpit?

My HOTAS doesn't have a lot of buttons It should be good for actually flying the plane but I am more concerned about weapon systems Is there an option to simplify controls? I have not yet Acquired the game

Any falcon bms enjoyers in Asia? Looking for a wingman to fly with me. Getting back to BMS and it would be nice to have someone to chat with on ingress and egress. Looking for chill players.

Currently located in Japan. I can fly during Japan evenings. DM and I will send my discord.

I dived into fbms thinking if I can play dcs with a controller, how hard could bms be..

​

It's so damn hard, I am using controllerbuddy with a built-in bms config (install script from their GitHub) .

​

Is there an easier way? Something like tuvaas's configs similar for dcs modules?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there. I’m trying to install and run the server portion of Falcon BMS control app. Does anyone have guidance?
