Quick and Dirty dogfight w/ MiG-21 | Falcon 4 BMS


Falcon 4 BMS with the new improvements to the graphics is much more immersive.  In fact the ground textures used to the only thing that turned me off F4 BMS.

Now, it looks much better. 

I downloaded the Red Flag Mod/Theater which comes with some nice UI improvements.  There is even a new dogfight feature, that can quickly set you up in a dogfight in either MP or SP. 

This video  is of myself trying the SP dogfight feature.   The enemy is a lowly MiG-21.  However, I am a bit out of practice so I thought it would be fair J




What I think happened was I got way to close to the burning wreckage of my opponent, and suffered severe damage.  Lesson learned!

Good thing I have an unlimited amount of Viper's in my puter.

Falcon 4 BMS Training

It's been a while and the urge to fly couldn't be resisted any longer.

I tried DCS first actually, but I crashed a few times and gave up.  I think I'm officially done until they update it.  Oh well.

F4 BMS is great.  However, if I don't keep flying regularly, I forget the HOTAS setup, and I need to re-learn most of it.  So, I normally take it up for several quick training flights to get the muscle memory going again.  It can take several flights...
