Stretch Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Anyone here following the Falcon 4 Facebook page? There's been a lot of new BMS screenshots lately, and they're also posting an item from the F-16 ramp start checklist once every hour. People are guessing that BMS will be released when the last item of the start checklist is complete. Anyone have any thoughts/info/ideas?

Slammin Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 I would love to get back into F4 but the only version I can get to at least run on my rig is F4AF. I know if I went to very old nVidia drivers I could get some more versions to run, but I'm not really willing to do that anymore. Will BMS4 run with Win7 and new vid cards and drivers? If not, a big SKIP for me.

SUBS17 Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Wow looking good, great to see people working on this stuff I thought it was BMS 5 not 4 in development. [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]

Steel Jaw Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 What do you suggest is the best F4 experience then please? There aint none at present. But with a gun to my head I will say Open Falcon 4.7.

Teej Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 There aint none at present. But with a gun to my head I will say Open Falcon 4.7. In many ways I'd agree...up until you start talking about wanting to do cooperative online campaigns...then there's only 1 answer: AF. Graphics are weaker. Lack of working datalink is annoying. Giving up the sniper pod is painful... But man...designing your own 20-ship strike package - in the campaign mode, not a TE - and stuffing it with human players who could all successfully take on fuel en route...it was SO worth trading the above for. The year or so that AF was at its peak was probably my favorite year of gaming ever. 1 "Tank! I need a program for a TM Warthog!"

sobek Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Anyone have any thoughts/info/ideas? I'm really suspicious if this is genuine, the shots are all taken from elsewhere, so there is NO ORIGINAL MATERIAL posted on it. Might very well be a hoax. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two.

Kuky Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 My thoughts are... this thing has been around the corner for 1-2 years now... I remember all the talk it would be out Dec 2009 so I don't care about this at all any more... flying the A-10C feels great, IL-2 CoD is almost out and that's plenty of good flight sim till DCS fighter comes out and by the sound of it that might just be next DCS module... fingers crossed... for DCS Fighter that is, not BMS4 ;) PC specs: Windows 11 Home | Asus TUF Gaming B850-Plus WiFi | AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D + LC 360 AIO | MSI RTX 5090 LC 360 AIO | 55" Samsung Odyssey Gen 2 | 64GB PC5-48000 DDR5 | 1TB M2 SSD for OS | 2TB M2 SSD for DCS | NZXT C1000 Gold ATX 3.1 1000W | TM Cougar Throttle, Floor Mounted MongoosT-50 Grip on TM Cougar board, MFG Crosswind, Track IR

Might very well be a hoax. It exists. I have seen it. I have seen the manual. The only question is will it be released publically.

I didn't talk about BMS, i talked about the fuss about the facebook page and the related release speculation. I know that BMS is not a hoax, i'm just sceptical whether it will ever see the light of day. I'd be happy if it did, though. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa!

asparagin Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 The 3d pit is completely useless. Not good for a TIR user. That bothers me most. I have to change constantly between 2D and 3D cockpits, that ruins the imersion for me.

RogueRunner Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 If they make a fully functional 3D pit I would MAYBE look at it again but otherwise I will get my button pushing kick in the DCSA10 thank you very much! With the price of ammunition these days do not expect a warning shot.
Boberro Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 I don't believe it will out, anyway I doubt I would come back to it, if F-16\F-18 is on the corner from ED. Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D ಠ_ಠ ツ

DayGlow Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Would only be interested in a new F4 if it supported resolutions high enough for 3 screens. Can't go back now that I've had a taste.
