Hi folks.
I have my original falcon 4 cd witch pristine and it spins up and quits, Win 7 64bit. I also turned my anti virus off. I would really like to fly BMS.

Well, if it's only to be able to play BMS, then you don't need to install 4.0. BMS installation will ask you for either the installation folder or the CD to check the game.


When you're feeling sad, just remember that somewhere in the world, there's someone pushing a door that says "pull".

I was under the impression I needed 4.0 T play BRS.

Every where I ask, and watch videos I'm told I must install Falcon 4 to install Bms. The set
pops up, the disk wheerls'e and back to the descktop.

BMS will only ask for you Falcon 4 CD to check it. No need to install it for BMS.

The sites/videos you've been to are obviously wrong.

Check out my install thread here. The info is obviously a bit out of date as we are now up to Update 7 but the steps remain the same.

Hope that helps!

Alternatively, there is an all-in-one installer (base + updates 1-7) here. You must be a member of the BMS forums to see the link.

If you use this, then start at Step 10 on my install thread.
