Simply put I can't believe the new BSM until I see it.

Problem is my old Falcon 4.0 Original MICROPROSE disk wouldn't install on Win 7.

How to do?

I tried compatibility mode on a copule version but I'm afraid I'm doing something wrong.

Any help from you "guys who did it"? biggrin
Thanks in advance!

You don't need to install it. Just have the disc inserted in the drive. BMS will look for it and automatically install.

@_@ Smart procedure, dumb user (that's me). Thanks a bunch.

Going to cry in the corner of shame frown

I just spent half a day turning over every rock in the neighbourhood trying to find my F4 disc. After one hour in the attic I found the original Falcon 4 box (Falcon 3 as well) and the manual but no disc. Found the F4 allied force disc but that doesn't do the trick. So depressing ...

Yeah, I had the same problem. I found the original manual, but no disc. I went to Amazon and people had them listed there used for around US$5.00. I ordered one and asked for express shipping, with a total cost of just under US$12.00, so that might be worth checking out for those desperate to get this going. Those are used, so I don't know what the availability is outside the U.S.

I had 2 Falcon4 binders, which I threw away about 5 years ago. I had a backup ISO on my data backup drive as of 1 week ago but deleted it after playing FreeFalcon5.5.5 and giving up hope with Falcon4 (FF5.5.5 crashed or had graphics issue within 3 minutes of playing it.... Like always...) Now a week later BMS is out which requires the original install. Just my luck. Oh well. I'll keep an eye out on the BMS news to see if its worth "aquiring."
