The new Falcon BMS is available and will serve all news for Falcon[...]

BMS realistically models Limit Cycle Oscillations (LCO) - stores-induced buffeting at certain speeds/loadouts. Based on real AIAA flight test data.

BMS models real F-16 brake energy limits based on weight/speed/conditions. Overheating causes tire failures, fires, or gear collapse.

Set joystick to LINEAR response - F-16's real control curves are already coded in. Force stick users: match real aircraft forces for authenticity.

New flight model simulates real-time mass, center of gravity, and inertia changes from fuel/weapons, affecting aircraft stability and responsiveness.

Developer spent 5 years perfecting F-16 flight control system, switching from NASA model to complete block diagrams for more realistic handling.

Developer Notes on the FLCS gains based on F-16 state of flight.

Chose tabular, local-surface aerodynamics over Navier–Stokes/geometry; uses HFFM CL/CD + NASA for accurate F‑16 behavior.
