1.2.1.15 MANUAL PITCH override panel
The MPO switch is a two-position switch momentary in OVRD. It provides a means for
the pilot to override FLCS pitch and give direct control of the elevators to the pilot.
There is a stable trim point around 60° AOA which allows the aircraft to enter a deep
stall. In this configuration the FLCS will always command maximum elevator pitch
down angle, but in this configuration the aircraft will remain in the deep stall.
In such a deep stall the pilot needs to override the FLCS and pitch-rock the aircraft to exit the stall
condition. The MPO can be tested at ramp. Simply move the elevator to its fullest extent and hold the
MPO switch in OVRD. Notice the increased elevator angle as long as the switch is held in the
override position (this is also now visible in multiplayer).

1.2.1.16 Throttle grip and left side wall
The left sidewall has two important hotspots. Hotspots are areas where the mouse turns into a
selective zone where a switch can be clicked.
The first one is the canopy area. Normally the canopy switch is hidden inside the left sidewall and
protected with the yellow spider. The spider is just a switch guard. But in BMS it is the switch itself if
you are using the mouse to operate it. Click on the spider hotspot to open or close the canopy.
Alternately you can use the keystroke callback. The mission starts with the canopy open at Ramp
start in BMS.
With the Idle Cutoff option disabled (in Falcon BMS.cfg) the idle detent needs to be depressed when
the JFS has spooled up the engine to 20% RPM in order to start the engine. It was done so to
simulate moving the throttle from the vertical CUTOFF position to the horizontal idle position. Likewise
to shut the engine down the idle detent needs to be depressed when the throttle is idle for the engine
to spool down. This was done to simulate lifting the throttle out of the idle position to the vertical
CUTOFF position. Note that the idle detent only works when your throttle is all the way back (at its
minimum).
There is a third feature on the left side wall that may be of interest: the SLAP switch. This is a
pushbutton programmed to drop countermeasures program 5. The pilot usually slaps it in the real jet
