26 years later. Still simming. I guess I picked a good one!
Huge talent behind this. BMS i will love y forever. 😆
Once upon a time, a long, long, very long time ago, i started in Falcon AT. Then Falcon 4.0, then the sourcecode got leaked, and the real Falcon was born, like a Phoenix....rising from the ashes of it's predecessors. Falcon BMS, truly is THE Fighting Falcon sim, that influenced the simpilot in me, like no other...
I feel a new wave of BMS players after the devastating Razbam news. I played Falcon 4.0 religiously when it was first released, I never saw the dynamic campaign fixed before I threw in the towel, I may have to take another look at this now.

I swear, all this better be incorporated into Falcon 5.0. Such a shame ED can't even get their F16 module working to this extent. Everytime they release an update they fix one thing and break like 5x as much.
BMS has come a long way, and what they're showing in this product is stunning. I think I'm stuck with DCS for now though because anytime I'm in an F-16, I wish I was in an F-18. The F-16 is my least favorite module in DCS. Nothing against IT or it's "fanbase", it just doesn't grab me the same way other aircraft do. I did play a lot of Falcon 4.0 though, like 15 years ago, hah. Great video though, and I'll still keep my eye on BMS and it's development. One thing I do remember liking about Falcon was it's dynamic campaign.

It would take a great deal of time to come with a simple answer as is very subjective. I would recommend to listen to “The Tactical Frequency” Spotify podcast. It’s a Magnificent presentation/introduction to the BMS world and will most certainly set the tone for you to happily start flying BMS. Also make sure to watch “Aviation Plus” KZread channel for the same reason. Other than that, to me BMS is a mature sim with incredible community that prioritizes realism. Cheers ✌️

Ай бұрын
Hi! For the moment, those are the only ones allowing the Infra Red energy absorbtion and albedo to work. Since it is paramount for accurate IR missile modelisation, it will remain as is. Maybe someday the volumetric cloud will be considered but it may have a performance hit. DCS made the choice of having volumetric could without being able to simulate their opacity to IR seekers making IR missiles and laser designators immune to moisture/fog/mist/clouds/smokes/fume and dust and no possible diffraction of laser beams. Matter of compromises. Kind regards.
Does clouds still rotate in VR? xD
It is and will always be the best military flight simulator... there is nothing for anyone...
Everything looks great until you see clouds during high speed turns where it becomes obvious they are flat 2D textures that are always pointed towards the viewer and rotate like crazy against the backdrop.
