Maybe some of you don’t know it but we have an online tool that enables anyone to plan, brief and debrief with other players!
The beauty of it is that you don’t need to install anything…
Specifications
Location: https://maps.falcon-bms.com
Available Maps:
- KTO
- Balkans
- ITO
Collaborative server info:
- Server address: collab.falcon-bms.com
- Server Port: 443
How to use it?
You have a full manual available on the website.
Nevertheless, here are some cool features you should know about…
Use your BMS generated files
You can drag and drop files onto the map like:
- *.fmap
- *.ini
- Whiteboards (png files saved from the website / essential to recover a previous briefing)
Collaborate with your team
Use the left menu sandwich bars (the 3 lines picto) to bring up the connectivity tab.
You can then use the Falcon BMS default server or use your own (if you have a docker server)
To use the BMS official server, please enter the following:
- Secure connection: Yes
- Callsign: (Choose for yourself)
- Session: (use a unique ID made of letters and numbers)
- Server: collab.falcon-bms.com
- Port: 443
Then simply connect and voilà!
Just bear in mind that flightplans cannot be shared so if you drag and drop your ini file, others won’t see it…
Note: Make sure you save your briefing changes locally or those will be lost (collab server doesn’t keep sessions alive forever)
Improve this tool
Well this is provided for free by the BMS team and public domain…
