About

BMSNav

Features
Read full description

BMSNav is a companion app for the Falcon BMS flight simulator that displays kneeboards, briefings, and various navigation aids on a mobile device. It was built primarily to act as a sort of physical kneeboard, obviating the need to activate the pilot model and to flip through the in-game kneeboards. Note that in order to use BMSNav, you must run the accompanying server (BMSNavServer) on the same machine as BMS itself. The server monitors the kneeboard files for the selected theater and automatically [re]generates the images any time a change is made in Weapon Delivery Planner. It also monitors the briefings directory and grabs the latest HTML file whenever the user "prints" the briefing in BMS. As such, there's no need to copy/paste files or manually convert images and transfer them to your mobile device. Simply run the server, select a theater, and you're set! Detailed installation and usage instructions can be found at the BMSNav website... https://rsedev.net/bmsnav Good luck on your next mission!
