Confirming really quick with AWACS and just identifying with RWR is a sure way of knowing, especially when you are deep deep in enemy territory. Plus those MIG-21s have a rather special design that you can tell apart from the F-16 at a certain range.
Koozomec No it's actually true. It lacks the technical sides of it, but in terms of performance at certain altitudes it performs pretty close to it if done right under combat loading none the less. But we are talking F-16A.
Koozomec You might be surprised, modernized MiG-21's aren't a joke. The Indian air force has a bunch of very modified 21's that could stand their own against an F-16. But those are not the 21's in the video, of course. (still, this just means they aren't to be underestimated, they're barely in the same league in some aspects not equivalent.) Btw, in the end, it comes down to who has the best support and best pilots. A flight of F-16's flying blind against a flight of 21's with good pilots, awacs and intel would face a tough day.
Man that was awesome! When I first clicked and saw the length I was like "Eff this im not sitting here for 18 minutes!" But that was WELL executed and played out just like a movie. It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Bravo. Good, good stuff!
totally, but I realized that those bombs didn't drop. On my first pass they did, but the second pass I guess I was too low? I'm still learning the settings for the F-16 but it appears that's what happened, so I was clear to dive in.
We lost two, mainly due to the SAMs, but we downed a shit ton. Lines package downed a few before they got to help me, and I got 4 on my own. All and all I'd say that we took down at least 10 if not more.
Absolutely no fuel left to fight (I landed with 400 pounds left). Practically no missiles left either. That 21 was just inside of the threat circle but not too close yet, and that missile launch came from the SA 8 site, which I dodged, not from the single 21 that was on the RWR that went cold right after the missile launch.
Great video! Super immersive. I was on the edge of my seat. Yeah, AWACS mod would help as would some sort of air-to-air refueling, if that's been implemented.
it's just me that thinks the F16 is such a beauty to behold? this thing fully armed is like a shark comes from the beach to fuck your day so hard that you won't even remember your designation when they finish.
That was bad ass. I have this game, i just never could figure it out, I have a full stick setup with throttle and everything, need to get back into it.
I've had to sever my arm and leg, then sacrifice a goat for the gods and donate my liver to get it to work... It literally brings men to their knees when it comes to setting up BMS on your own for the first time. I'm sure there is a guide out there, but I got my friends to help me with that. It's easy after your first time. Kinda like murder.
Ralfi this video was AMAZING!! I had no idea an A-10 could even give a MiG 21 a good dogfight!! It just goes to show it's not the aircraft it's the pilot!!
Also the recon not being 100% accurate all of the time is one of the things that makes the campaign of falcon so amazing. Even in real life sometimes when you plan a mission targets move or sam's end up being in places not previously known about. Same thing happens in Falcon's campaigns say you do a preplanned CAS on a tank battalion if they are on the move they will not be at the steerpoint anymore so you need to hunt them down generally they are not to far away though. :)
We are currently in the mood for fast fighters, and FC3 is not offering realism due to their messing around with the missiles. Till they fix it, we wont go back. A-10 is still fine though.
No it's not. There is essentially no slip and slide. You can't do things in it that a real F-16 can... it feels limited. So on the flight physics side, FC3 is more in depth than falcon ever was. Which is a shame. Obviously the in flight computer gets in the way of a lot of things, but you would still be able to snap the nose for a second before sinking. Can't do that here.
Great stuff, I've been flying DCS world exclusively of late but after watching this I think I'll have to dig out Falcon 4 and install the BMS mod. It looks like a ton of fun although I guess much of that was down to you guys.
The best f16 simulator ever :P It was originally designed to train f-16 pilots in the late 80's. BMS is a community version of falcon 4.0 that has made huge improvements on making the avionics as real as possible since it already has a damn near 100% accurate flight model. Also the next big release will have an f-18 hornet that will have a pretty accurate flight model tested by real f-18 pilots. Granted the game is designed around the f16 so your stuck using f16 avionics in the f18 but still. :)
Really cool video. I've been playing around with DCS A10 but the dog fighting is no good of course. I'll have to look at Falcon BMS. I can't really use my CHProthrottle and Combatstick for the A10 because the setup is for the F16
Something is weird in the BMS flight physics. Like when you saw me pulling and rolling, I was FULL STICK left/right/up/down, and that bitch was just taking a stroll... Like I felt an A-10 was more maneuverable at that point...
God I can't wait to start playing this and DCS! It's going to take me forever to learn how every system in each plane works though lol! Would you say the Rhino is a good HOTAS for these games? I really don't have the money for the Warthog, I'm only 19 and living on my own.
DCS is great, I've been flying the A-10C. It took me a little while to learn the ropes. Thus far I haven't bought a HOTAS flight stick (I will shortly) though I feel comfortable that it will be very easy. Once you understand the the SOI/SPI system and the targeting pod, the rest really is quite intuitive.
That was a fantastic video. But I have to ask, were those Mig-21s even carrying missiles? And I feel like going low and slow in that proximity to a Buk SAM in DCS would result in almost instant death.
Wow you guys are fast when it comes to identifying bandits and friendlies during dogfights. My squad has problems when shit hits the fan. We waste so much time figuring out which is which.
You will want to read the BMS manuals the f4 manuals use the older avionics that BMS has changed a lot. When you download bms it will come with a dash1 manual and the regular manual they are located in the falcon folder under docs under falcon BMS manuals.
Man I wish my friends played this. I have a shitload of gaming friends but I'm the only person I know that's into flight games/sims and I'm not good enough to play with people I dont know if that makes any sense. Only prepared to embarrass myself infront of people I know well enough lol. That looked like a shitload of fun though. Ty for the up, enjoyed watching it.
Fighting Mig-21s in falcon is like fighting TIE Fighters in x-wing alliance. Easy to kill when caught alone, they put up exciting and relatively low risk fights when in numbers, and can get you in trouble if you are careless
good shit gentlemen...good shit. keep up the amazing flying and maybe one day once I actually learn how to use my A-10 dcs maybe you guys give me top cover one day. XD. I just hope I never see you and your wingmen in my mirror if you know what I mean
@Ralfidude did your block not have Helmet sight or did you just not think of using it? It's really useful in dogfights. You can engage before your nose is on the bandit
You mean the actual installation? It was really simple for me. Open the installer, tell it where to look for the F4 disc and then let it do its thing. Patches can even be installed when you install the game first time. I never really put any time in to learning bms though, its something i look to play more later on.
This is still one of my favorite Videos of all time
There was genuine concern in that "holy shit ralfi", these guys take it serious and I love it.
Dude, that Splinter Cell guitar riff at 8:30 when you splashed that Mig was some Fantastic editing.
Love seeing the teamwork and coordination between you and your teammates.
Great incursion on the airfield, the furball was amazing.....Fucking love the music selection, fits perfectly.
damm right
That is amazing.
Simply amazing, thank you!
Il post the names of the songs when I get home. But yes, they are both from Splinter cell.
Confirming really quick with AWACS and just identifying with RWR is a sure way of knowing, especially when you are deep deep in enemy territory. Plus those MIG-21s have a rather special design that you can tell apart from the F-16 at a certain range.
I love how you used splinter cell soundtrack when the dogfight ensued
F-16 against Mig-21?! What next, F-22 against Fw-190? :)
Those who fight fair die first. Plus, under a good pilot, the Mig-21 has similar maneuverability as F-16.
ralfidude "Plus, under a good pilot, the Mig-21 has similar maneuverability as F-16" Trolololo :D
Koozomec No it's actually true. It lacks the technical sides of it, but in terms of performance at certain altitudes it performs pretty close to it if done right under combat loading none the less. But we are talking F-16A.
I find it hard to believe but you know this much than me. I trust you.
Oh and i like your videos a lot dude.

i LOVE how immersed you all got in this
Man I miss the old school crew, IASGATG, Linebacker, Simis, ect. So many legendary videos.
i felt like i was watching real combat
This vid is an all-time classic
15:45 looks like that F-16 was feelin the adrenaline surge lol
Beautifully done video, super flying! That music you had during the dogfights actually set the mood well. Bravo!
It really shows how far this game has come after watching this video
Damn, you have to get on the Falcon Lounge Discord and fly BMS again! Loved the immsersion in these videos!
Another reminder to me to FINISH getting Falcon BMS 4.34 installed - and then join Ralfi on missions like this !
sure thing, let me know when it's done.
Ralfi has real good taste of music :D I have almost all musics used in his videos already in my music collection :D
What is their title name?
totally, but I realized that those bombs didn't drop. On my first pass they did, but the second pass I guess I was too low? I'm still learning the settings for the F-16 but it appears that's what happened, so I was clear to dive in.
simply the best mission flying i have seen so far...and when the Amon Tobin kicks in...just WOW
Might be it. I asked my lead if I had to change anything. His response was "nah, it's cool"
yup!
We lost two, mainly due to the SAMs, but we downed a shit ton. Lines package downed a few before they got to help me, and I got 4 on my own. All and all I'd say that we took down at least 10 if not more.
Let Linebacker know that F-16s do not taxi with the canopy open. Great video, like always!!
Nicely executed sortie and beautiful landing.
ED just announced dynamic campaign in the works!!
Love how you used the Splintercell Chaos Theory theme music!
Perfect soundtrack mix. Rock on, Ralfi.
Absolutely no fuel left to fight (I landed with 400 pounds left). Practically no missiles left either. That 21 was just inside of the threat circle but not too close yet, and that missile launch came from the SA 8 site, which I dodged, not from the single 21 that was on the RWR that went cold right after the missile launch.
This makes me so happy you used Amon Tobin. Fuckin perfect for the situation
Never been in a furball that bad before... Superb stuff!
"Who's still here with me!?"
*crickets chirping*
Mate that has to be your best video. Brilliant !
Great video! Super immersive. I was on the edge of my seat.
Yeah, AWACS mod would help as would some sort of air-to-air refueling, if that's been implemented.
That looked so real in parts, it was f..king scary!!
Great dogfight Ralfi. Great comms and situational awareness.
it's just me that thinks the F16 is such a beauty to behold? this thing fully armed is like a shark comes from the beach to fuck your day so hard that you won't even remember your designation when they finish.
That was bad ass. I have this game, i just never could figure it out, I have a full stick setup with throttle and everything, need to get back into it.
Think so... that or my monster PC is just handling it well. (Video of my specs is there from January)
Well, that was exciting to watch, that's for sure. Outstanding video

Always enjoy your vids, man.
6:37 pretty close to losing those due to low altitude.
We are currently in the mood for fast fighters, and FC3 is not offering realism due to their messing around with the missiles. Till they fix it, we wont go back. A-10 is still fine though.
I was, but the same happens in CAT I. Not sure now, gotta look into it some more.
No it's not. There is essentially no slip and slide. You can't do things in it that a real F-16 can... it feels limited. So on the flight physics side, FC3 is more in depth than falcon ever was. Which is a shame. Obviously the in flight computer gets in the way of a lot of things, but you would still be able to snap the nose for a second before sinking. Can't do that here.
Love the Amon Tobin in there - Splinter Cell in the Air ;)
Great stuff, I've been flying DCS world exclusively of late but after watching this I think I'll have to dig out Falcon 4 and install the BMS mod. It looks like a ton of fun although I guess much of that was down to you guys.
this is so entertaining, great mission and good flying!
Your flying was impressive. Looks like fun.
Very nice video indeed!
Makes me want to fire up BMS myself though I have spent so much time in the hog that I pretty much am useless in it.

Man, you just don't see furballs like this in modern air combat any more. That was the shit. Great flying.
Something is weird in the BMS flight physics. Like when you saw me pulling and rolling, I was FULL STICK left/right/up/down, and that bitch was just taking a stroll... Like I felt an A-10 was more maneuverable at that point...
Good flying as always by Ralfi, Simis and Line. Home in time for Brandy.
Hot damn this looks like fun. I'm gonna get it and join you all.
@Ralfidude BMS 4.33 U1 is out... can we expect more falcon fun? Balkans p'raps?
Nice fight guys, Used to play this years ago the new mods look great. Might give it a go.
man dcs should add more fighters modules! cant wait for mig21
And just when you think it's over.
that would be correct
I luve your flying skills
God I can't wait to start playing this and DCS! It's going to take me forever to learn how every system in each plane works though lol! Would you say the Rhino is a good HOTAS for these games? I really don't have the money for the Warthog, I'm only 19 and living on my own.
DCS is great, I've been flying the A-10C. It took me a little while to learn the ropes. Thus far I haven't bought a HOTAS flight stick (I will shortly) though I feel comfortable that it will be very easy. Once you understand the the SOI/SPI system and the targeting pod, the rest really is quite intuitive.
What an amazing video! Was entertained all the way through, Is this DCS, and what tweaks/ addons/ mods do you use?
Thanks, fantastic video.
That was a fantastic video. But I have to ask, were those Mig-21s even carrying missiles? And I feel like going low and slow in that proximity to a Buk SAM in DCS would result in almost instant death.

I look at this I see all the buttons and I remember one thing. God I forget how hard this game be at points....
that was amazing! keep up the good work, i really enjoy your vids!
Iron Eagle with Ralfi.........
Man I wish my friends played this.
I have a shitload of gaming friends but I'm the only person I know that's into flight games/sims and I'm not good enough to play with people I dont know if that makes any sense. Only prepared to embarrass myself infront of people I know well enough lol.
That looked like a shitload of fun though. Ty for the up, enjoyed watching it.
Hey, did any of you guys take HARMs? Great video by the way, loved it!
I am boycotting Flaming Cliffs for a bit till they fix what they fucked up last patch with the missiles. A-10 is still fine though.
haha my palms are sweating, some epic teamwork there, wp!
You guys are awesome!
Fu***g A mission!!
nice vid.. whats better this BMS Sim or FC3?
Run and hope for the best, the last words of 50% loss rate LOL.
Well.... I'll say it. Great flying dude! Enjoy your video's.
Fighting Mig-21s in falcon is like fighting TIE Fighters in x-wing alliance. Easy to kill when caught alone, they put up exciting and relatively low risk fights when in numbers, and can get you in trouble if you are careless
3:57 - xD
Holy shit, that escalated quickly :O
good shit gentlemen...good shit. keep up the amazing flying and maybe one day once I actually learn how to use my A-10 dcs maybe you guys give me top cover one day. XD. I just hope I never see you and your wingmen in my mirror if you know what I mean
@Ralfidude did your block not have Helmet sight or did you just not think of using it? It's really useful in dogfights. You can engage before your nose is on the bandit
nice proper topgun moment :D
Very cool combat!
Oh lawd oh lawd dat Splinter cell music.
So from what you'be played so far are you enjoying BMS more than DCS?
Awesome flying, I wonder how you manage to not get even slightly black or red outs?
good teamwork
What do u prefer between Falcon BMS and the DCS Series ?
Blondes
I prefer reds =D No dude seriously, what do you think about this two simulators ? Falcon BMS is more realistic ? DCS has more features ?
Vashyroth Both do a good job, one does some things better while the other does others better, they compliment each other.
You meant blondes and reds? =D =D
Jonáš Lipenský he basically means he dont want to upset the bms community xD
You mean the actual installation? It was really simple for me. Open the installer, tell it where to look for the F4 disc and then let it do its thing. Patches can even be installed when you install the game first time.
I never really put any time in to learning bms though, its something i look to play more later on.
how many "which game is this" you get on your inbox ?
XD
loving your vids
i learn a ton even from each of them !! keem them up
Intense. Keep this up and I may never need to watch Top Gun again.
Nice work, good try. Would Falcon Allied Force work to download the patch? I saw it on ebay and I wanted to know before I make a purchase.
That was some great flying. And you did it all without the HMCS, you gangster.
