So friend told me we should get Free Falcon cos he wanted to fly F16, and in the process of looking at youtube videos we found BMS. Now I have downloaded both of them (BSM 4 and Free Falcon 5.5.5, but i'm wondering which one is best? what are the differences, pro's and con's for the 2 cos its quite confusing.
Is it somehow possible to have both mods Installed? how are the 2 in regard to multiplayer, Co-op and PvP as well as online player base? which of them would you reccommend to get. As of right now the cockpit graphics of BSM has me slightly stunned, but at the same time the prospect of flying Mirage and SR-71 in Free Falcon sounds awesome to say the least.

BMS would be best if you're flying online.
Can't get one to appear here.

BMS brings Falcon up to date with new hardware. Inbuilt clickable 3d pit, eyefinity works, dynamic shadows, DX9 - and that's just all for the eye candy not forgetting what's under the hood. All this just from the initial install. No more fiddling about with the install. The only cfg editing I did was for my Eyefinity POV and side panel viewing. yes, the graphics are quite miles apart between BMS & FF, and BMS is more stable on my pc...

Tried FF5 real quick. not impressed with the graphics unfortunatly, and i couldnt get BMS to run as SuperPAK 4.0 wouldn't install. And then I had to reinstall FF5 cos it wouldnt run with Falcon 4.0 installed (the original game that is)
Taking up the fight with BMS though

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/page14Creator 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

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.

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?
