FAQHere I will list answers to questions asked by new Falconeers... while some may seem silly, do remember that Falcon is different from most games available today and it's very easy for a new simmer to be confused.
- There is no need to buy BMS. It is provided for free by the BMS dev team. You can only get it via download, there is no CD available.
- There **IS** a need to buy Falcon 4.0.
- You **CANNOT** buy BMS from Steam/GoG/Retroism or anywhere. You **CANNOT** buy Falcon 4.0 from the BMS team.
- Please download BMS only from official sources or officially-provided direct links. You are free to ask and there are members of the community who can give direct links to privately-uploaded copies of the installers, but if you get a virus or if things break, you're on your own. Please do not complain about broken installers that you've downloaded from un-official sources.
- BMS is not a MOD for Falcon. Well, not in the common understanding of the term. BMS can run by itself and does **NOT** need the Falcon 4.0 .exe or the Falcon 4.0 install. The BMS devs have chosen to include these requirements to satisfy the current IP holder of Falcon, Tommo.
- BMS does not need to be installed where you installed Falcon 4.0. You can install Falcon 4.0 on your 5TB 5400RPM drive alongside your backups and movies and pictures, then install BMS on your 500GB M.2 NVMe drive.
- **DO NOT** uninstall Falcon 4.0 even after you've installed and ran BMS. BMS will check for the presence of Falcon 4.0 each time it starts... if you delete/uninstall Falcon 4.0, you'll have to install it again.
- **DO NOT** delete your \Falcon_BMS_4.33_U1_Setup folder... you will need this to install/apply future Updates.
- For those installing from a disc, you do not need the FULL install. BMS will run even if you only do the MINIMUM install option.
- BMS does not need to be "added" on the Steam library to run.
- Feel free to express your thanks to the BMS devs in the official forum, but they do not accept donations of any kind. Instead, you are encouraged to donate to a charity of your choice. Or find ways to "pay it forward" to the simming community.
