There is Mirages in BMS too, with awesome 3D clickable cockpits (for the 2000) !!
I'd say BMS. You really SHOULD try BMS

Hi, my name is Tom. ATM I use the FF utility called F4XChange available at the FreeFalcon site:

http://www.freefalcon.com/forum/showthread.php/16377-F4XChange-Released/page14

Creator is Khronik.

I already had 2 FF installs installed and stored via F4XChange. This utility manages Falcon registries.

After having my 2nd FF install ready, I installed BMS4.23.
(Did not even deactivate my with F4CXChange activated FreeFalcon install, just installed BMS4.)

No issues on my rig, I see 2 seperate registry entries for FreeFalcon5.55 and BMS4.23.

BUT: I would rate this question WIP since not many FF teammembers have investigated on the issue and I know of one teammate who could not use his last FF ITO2 install which he installed after BMS4.

I assume F4XChange is the safest way to use FreeFalcon and BMS.
That's not proven, only my experience.

Check above link and homepage for additional info.
Or feel free to ask at the BMS site as well.

Regards

Tom

Disregard, double post!

Cheers

PS: Before abandoning FF, try at least our new ITO2 theatre, the terrain textures are something you won't get in BMS this way anytime soon. Best Falcon desert theatre ever created IMO..and many fans agree.

BTW love the M2Ks in BMS as well, kickass.
BTW2: I installed BMS in a different drive than FF, just to make sure.

Tom, those cool Tornados are with 4:3 2D cockpits. Add problems with AA for nVidia users, sorry.
Nice screenshots.

Dirk.

Falcon's diversity reminds me why ice cream shops have more than one flavor.

Right, in my case unfortunately I'm on a widescreen monitor and nVidia card. No one wants the demise of FF, on the contrary, the more the better. But FF should consider newer hardware and OS to make their production enjoyable to the mainstream F4 users on recent hardware.

Cheers,
Dirk.

splendid, thanks for the clarification. I am unable to find the download link on the official BMS website (under downloads is only the Weapon Delivery Planner, nothing else) does anyone have a good link for BMS 4.

BMS requires nothing else than falcon 4 disk in the drive, correct?

Right. Installing the original F4 is not necessary. Just point to the drive with the disc in it during BMS install.

One thing I never see mentioned about the new ITO2 Theater is that there is a new .exe included. To me that's just as much important news. Haven't looked at the change log yet though.
