The manual issue really is an issue - most of the stuff seems to be written for people who "moved with the times" of this sim at least since the early mods. Whereas a newcomer needs to know how to get from A to B and eventually Z, the manual often references the old way to go from A to B and only explains what's different in the new version...

It's a hell of a sim, but with hell of a learning curve...

I came straight from F4AF to BMS 4.32.

I read the AF manual perhaps 100 times, yes 100. It is written in a foreign language but it was possible to learn to fly and fight in the damn thing

So with this in the bag, it was not really hard to go to BMS. Yes there was some new stuff like the radio and the data cartrigde new weapon systems, but there is also great tutorials over at BMS homepage.

Read the manual and watch the tutorials and you are good to go.

Worked for me anyway.



Happy hunting
