045 'Bullseyes' let the fun really begin...
Just realised how little i know about bullseye calls and how to decyper them.Finding this little tool very useful
TOOL
While this is all well and good. I still find it difficult, and here's another to find bullseye calls.
1. Make HSD SOI
2. Zoom to see the BULL.
3. Move the cursor close to the bull call, ussing the cardinaal indicator on the circle and the compass to help.
4. When the cursor is close enough, click the FZ button (OSB7). This freezes the HSD, with the cursor point in the center.
5. Maneuever to bring the radar cone over the centre, you may need to zoom out the FCR radar scan cone.
6. Make the FCR SOI, and move the cursor on it, so that it aligns with the HSD center.
Updated for BMS 4.33

To data link AIR to AIR....
1. Sender designates a TOI (target of interest) with curosor in FCR, TMS UP
2. Sender presses one of OSB 7 - 10 depending on which group member to recieve the info.
3. Receiver sees the target on his FCR with yellow half box, and his group number over it.
4. Receiver designates with cursor and TMS UP.
To data link AIR to GROUND
1. Sender makes a mark point, with ICP7 (starts at SP26), and selects this as current SP
2. Sender makes HSD SOI,
2. Sender presses IFF IN (comms right), and hears 'data'
3. Receiver sees a blue Plus on both HSD and ground FCR (if active).
4. Receiver changes SP to 71 (this is where the first in coming mark gets stored).

041 BMS Electronic Flight Bag
Just a couple of things i came across lately that may be of interest to you or not.
BMS Electronic Flight Bag is an App for Android and it has just about anything you need at hand with regards to procedures and frequencies. All the charts are in there and loads more. You can get it here
The other thing is a website where you can upload your logbook and it expands all the information into something more comprehensive than the one used in game. I have never bothered with the logbook and keeping stats on my career etc i usully just start a new one whenever i re-install the sim., until now. Just got my first promotion after flying this sim for well over 10 years. Now i will die a happy man. Anyway if that floats your boat you can upload it here. If nothing else it's a good place to send multiple logbooks for backup.
