I saw someone on the BMS forums posted that he copied the keyfile from BMS 4.32 over to 4.33 and it worked fine.  So if you have 4.32 installed and have a working config you might try just dropping that in your config folder, loading it under settings and see how it works for you instead of reconfiguring your HOTAS automatically.

Thank you to THIS post, I will now be able to play Falcon 4 Modern.

I have commented, time and time again, how I was gutted I didn't have my original Falcon 4 but only had Allied Force...and never, ever did this information become available to me.

Thanks to GR's post, I have now bought and installed Falcon 4 and will hopefully be enjoying BMS.  O0

And here was me thinking it was only bad News the Grim Reaper brought to you - talk about a bad rap!  :idiot2:

It was only released on GoG about 3 days ago.

Yeah, I am reinstalling the prior version right now to see if I can bring over the mappings to make it easier...

ALWAYS Back-up your control files, cause there is a known issue (with 4.32 at least) that these files get overwritten easily if you fiddle inside the Controls options menu.
I keep mine in a seperate folder so I can always copy the files back easily.

Seems my 4.32 profile works like a charm in 4.33 too. That saves me some headaches!

And that would explain it.

Anyway - the situation is remedied.

Just curious if anyone has ever used the TacView product for analyzing your flights within these games...happened to come across it and seems interesting.  There is a free version with limited features and then home/professional versions.  Not sure how much it can help you improve your skills, but interesting nonetheless.

Is there a trick to getting this to run?

I bought and installed Falcon 4.0. I then downloaded and installed BMS 4.33. The launcher starts and I'm able to go into various parts of the launcher (though I haven't changed anything)...but when I click Launch, I get nothing. Falcon BMS.exe shows in my processes list - but no game. Also - the Falcon BMS.exe eventually disappears from the processes listed in Task Manager

Any help gratefully received. I will of course go and check over at BMS - but as I've never had any of the others installed, I was wondering if there was something specific I had to do.

Thanks.

We use tacview All the time! The free version is good enough to start with.

I didn't have to change anything on mine for it to run properly....just installed the BMS file and then used the launcher to start the game.  I know that doesn't help you solve your problem though...

Try running it in 32 bit mode and see if that works.

Tried that. All the same result.

I'll go looking about - see what I can find out. I thought it might be that crap RAPTR software AMD stick on the machine. That's killed f1 2015 and pCars for me before. I was tearing my hair out wondering why the hell they suddenly stopped working - switch off the RAPTR interface and bingo....alas - it wasn't that with BMS.

Don't press the Launch button in the config tool. It doesn't do anything.

Just start the Launcher.exe file and press Launch there.

Thanks Yskonyn - but that's the Launch button I was pressing (I was referring to the BMS Launcher as the config tool...not the config tool IN the launcher.

It did get me to try something else though...starting the Falcon4 BMS.exe on it's own. Tried the 64 bit and I got a "Falcon BMS has stopped working" error. I tried again with the 32 bit and hey presto...it worked.

So it seems it was that RAPTR crap afterall. I'm sure this must've been reported to AMD. I've got a virtual virgin PC here and it's still playing havoc with my games.

Pity the 64 bit won't work though...I wonder what gives there. I'd really like the game to have access to *GB of memory.

Anyway - thank you.
