I think some still applies but a lot has changed or has been added, I'd read both. You can Alt + Tab BMS, I do so all the time and have experienced no problems with it yet.

Ok, thanks Lieuwe.

Over and out

Anyone know what would cause this on install?




EDIT - Could be lack of HD space..lemme look..

Thanks...

@BeachAV8R

Lack of resources (HDD space or VM), or possibly corrupted down load (which is less likely if you got this far), or permissions (try loading as Admin)

It was lack of HDD space.. Thanks!

NOOb question... Is it possible to assign Joystick buttons as modifiers ala DCS?

Nate

I read a good usage of your HDD would be less than 2/3rd at max. Then you start suffocating your programs running off that disk, something along these lines.

I also downloaded and installed the Falcon 4 BMS but can’t seem to get a “wow moment”. I struggled for at least a couple of hours just to get the joystick Z axes to work. I use X52 Pro with SST software and is using the slider as zoom but can’t find any menu to tune axes. By default the slider is making zoom levels “shake” because it is so inaccurate and for other sims I tune the axes to defeat the problem. Can’t find this in Falcon 4 BMS.

I also have some issues with Norwegian keyboard and the configuration functions to remap keyboard is a mess. Anyone else with this problem or someone who can advice what to do? I have had a look at the provided spreadsheet with the keyboard functions but adjusting by using this and notepad+ directly in the keyboard config file will take weeks!

I’m also a bit disappointed regards of cockpit graphics. I have ATI 5870 and run 1920x1080 so it should be set to its best. I have not tried the sim yet after adjusting D3DOverrider to apply VSYNC and Triple buffering but I suspect it don’t give much regards the cockpit graphics. Anyone got a tip on if this is what there is or if I could have some wrong settings?
I will complete all the training missions using BeachAV8R training mission for Falcon 4 but it is going to take a long time just fiddling with settings in this sim I think.

PS! I also finished the settings and tested a dedicated server placed in Norway so I can host the default campaigns with good speed and FPS. Anyone wants to use a day or something on a dedicated server can contact me on PM here. I can also provide a TeamSpeak server. As far as I know the in game voice channels do not work in Windows 7 64 bit which is the OS of my server.

Let's make it clear, that at least first few disappointments that you mentioned were mainly due to the lack of your own knowledge, not the BMS's shortcomings. You could have covered most of the questions by reading Documents folder (there are quite a few pdfs) and asking on the boards.

Cheers,
Dirk.

I'm an old Falcon vet but I have to say I'm currently utterly confused. Are there BMS tutorials available somewhere?
