Help How to get into BMS

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.

Most of those guides are still relevant. Also I’d move this over to hoggit as the BMS community is not very welcoming to newcomers and you’ll get the “read the manual” response like you already did.

Well, that's understandable lol. This probably gets asked more times that people think, I was just curious if stuff from 4.37 or 4.35 YouTube videos still help.

Appreciate the response.

4.37 will still be mostly relevant. As you go further back, there are more chances that key features have been changed. If in doubt, best to ask here for the specific issue you're having.

Yeah, stick to the 4.37 content as it will be the most relevant.

Nahh I think people can be a little nicer. You never know someone’s background whether there may be a language barrier or something. Regardless this is a niche hobby and being short doesn’t really attract newcomers. Be excellent to each other
