I downloaded and finally got it working on my ancient computer (i5 2500 bought in 2011). After almost giving up because it wouldn't get past the splash screen I right clicked the shortcut on the desktop and in the Target box added -window and -nomovie - ie it looks like this. "C:\Falcon BMS 4.36\Launcher.exe" –window –nomovie
Thanks to someone for this tip, but I can't now find where I saw it!
Despite having a computer over 11 years old it flies very smoothly. I haven't been in combat mode yet , so maybe performance will suffer when there is more going on, we'll see. I was fairly proficient many years ago but have forgotten everything and of course it has advanced immensely, so my knowledge of original Falcon needs updating a lot.
I am astonished in a good way as to how it has changed, just amazing to see a programme from 1998 still going strong and looking so good. To all the people who have been working on it all this time, many thanks!!
