Falcon BMS 4.33

Flight Sims
41

Yes, that’s pretty much how I do it. With 4.32 I learned my start-up from Gerry Abbott - and that’s how he said to do it.

Works every time in 4.32. I’m really mystified. It’s a shame my 64 bit 4.33 has never worked, too. Many people have reported the same on the BMS forums, but I’ve not even seen any acknowledgement of it. These two things are what stopped me flying Falcon4 BMS.

I reinstalled both versions to try again - but it looks like I’ll be sticking with 4.32

I have it sussed!

Thanks to Pickinthatbanjo and his BMS 4.33 start-up video. The trick is to set the idle detente by clicking the throttle part in the VC.

I checked that my controller was returning the correct command for idle detente within the sim controller UI and it was - but it seems that makes no difference (so why have it?). Once I clicked on the throttle part for idle detente in the VC, it fired up straight away.

Awesome! Enjoy! (I think the Harrier is especially fun and probably not a bad prep for a future mod we’ve all been anticipating).

That was terrifying.

I heard you call dibs on the lead, I locked up the trail and merged to get a visual, next thing I know I look over in your direction and there’s just a fireball.

“But he was right there!” :fearful:

Not bad. But apparently you should have seen what those “other forces” did for the war effort. Stop slacking, 2nd Lt Blind!

Anyone on here still flying Falcon? I’m debating whether or not to reinstall it after my recent hardware refresh. Those new viper models by Janhas are pretty amazing. Best looking F-16 model I’ve seen in any flight sim to date.

Oh I would really like that- it’s just the setup for HOTAS and controls that kills me… but boy do I love me some Falcon…

Well friend, looks like YOU NEED THE FALCON BMS ALT LAUNCHER

Edit: Because the BMS forums are tightly guarded, here’s a video of it in action:

I was really into Falcon about 6-12 months ago. I also have the warthog and ended up using some profile I downloaded on the Falcon BMS forum. When I fly DCS I really miss the ATC, AI and Dynamic campaign in Falcon. I just wish the Dev’s will update the UI and the engine in the next major update. If we could get some better lighting, autogen and clouds this sim would be so awesome.

VR ruined falcon for me :sadpanda:

Ditto. I badly miss Falcon. I miss ARMA too. But I am never putting the TrackIR back on.

  • Dynamic campaign
  • Mission planning
  • In-context use of ordinance
  • GCI, AWACS, Tower, and other AI assets actually use the radio properly.
  • More theaters than you can shake a stick at from any number of global regions and eras.
  • Most in-depth simulation of the F-16 publicly available.
  • Massive scaling potential from single player up to large-scale multiplayer.
  • All the above for $10.00

…Yeah, the inability to see the world through screen door coke-bottles really ruins it for me too. :laughing:
