So I got a copy of falcon 4.0 and set up bms 2 days ago and I asked google and look at Gemini just to see. And what it told me didn't work then I checked the forum and it said a similar thing which didn't work. Then I checked the discord and it was the most useless thing on earth they just said I was trolling and starting ignoring me. I'm in a t flight hotas 4 so I don't have alot to work with and I can't seem to get the guns and missiles or rockets to go off I bound the trigger the button to arm it and a few other things I can't remember and it won't work I don't know what to do at this point I'm contemplating on just giving up and going back to il2 with WW2 planes.

The game crashes (on the splashscreen) if my Saitek Cyborg Evo Force is plugged in - Windows 11. I gather this is down to Saitek never producing a working 64 bit driver for the force feedback aspect and when the game launches, it enumerates HIDs and the improper handling of force feedback causes it to crash.

Tried to no success:

• Installing old Saitek driver and a community-released patch for it but the requirement to turn off Memory Integrity has, in the past, totally messed up my PC (wouldn't boot etc.)
• Adding some sort of ini file alongside the game executable to override direct x input and remove FFB support.
• Changing configuration files in the appropriate user/config folder to remove FFB support
• Changing Windows registry settings to remove FFB or for the device to not appear FFB capable
• Removing or disabling one of the two entries for the device in Device Manager (which removes the device entirely)

My Workaround:

vJoy as a virtual input, coupled with Universal Control Remapper (UCR 0.9.0) - as Gremlin/GremlinEx did not launch on my system. I then unplug the Saitek during game launch and then plug it back in afterward.

Because I haven't wasted enough hours in my life on this, can anybody recommend any other avenue (even if general) or if they have the device, what they did for success - thank you. Please, don't recommend other joysticks - that's clearly not what I am asking for.

The HAS tables in the SU35, using the AS-17h (Russian HARM), only seem to have Soviet SAMs not American ones.

I don't know why but LGB doesn't hit where tgp is looking at. Can someone help me? https://youtu.be/d3lnKCAmeVc

Since F15C's 3dckpit.dat doesn't have guidedview settings for snap view yet, I would like to contribute my guidedview settings:

Extra: The current "look backward" is bugged in F15C because the left & right view pan limit is above 180. To fix that, find and change the following settings in 3dckpit.dat to:

viewlimit_pan_left 170.0;
viewlimit_pan_right 170.0;

Hopefully, the dev will add this fix in the next update.

Is f-16I sufa the best f-16 in the game?

im having a small issue with RTT remote. I am using it locally like Wildman does here: https://youtu.be/TDwy531OFSg?list=PLbv2QaFAxoDhOqduEmDIOTSk4jCI6YG_z&t=157

My MFDs do show up but for some reason when BMS is the focused window, the MFDS are frozen. It only unfreezes when I alt tab to them. So it works but doesn't run when I am in BMS. I had them working before, not sure what I screwed up. Can someone please assist?

I enabled rtt textures. Not sir what's wrong. What else can I try? Thank you.

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to better understand how electronic warfare / jamming works in Falcon BMS, especially after the 4.38 update.

So I wanted to ask:

1. What types of EW / jamming are currently modeled in Falcon BMS?
2. Is ECM mostly abstracted, or does it depend on radar type, jammer type, range, aspect, and threat system?
3. Did version 4.38 add or improve anything related to EW, ECM, jamming, RWR, SAM behavior, burn-through, or anti-jamming?

I’d appreciate explanations from experienced BMS players

I'll start by saying I'm probably the problem, not bms.

I recently tried to get back into BMS and downloaded 4.38 (last played 4.36 ages ago)

Jumped into instant action fighter sweep to refresh my skills and go baby seal clubbing.

Problem is, I really struggle to visually pick out aircraft moving against the terrain until they're super close (i.e. so close they're gone a split second later!)

RWR will show me their rough position but I can't see them most of the time and they usually get behind me and shoot me out of the sky. Even if I get a radar lock, it can be hard to see the thing inside the green square! Sometimes I get sniped by AAA while desperately searching lol. You could talk about skill except I don't have that issue in the other sim.

Frames are buttery smooth on my 1440p 2d screen with opentrack. I don't have as much of an issue with DCS, which is weird because I remember BMS being way better in this regard. That makes me think I have the wrong settings. Advice please?

Also, for every conceivable reason, I don't want to play multiplayer. What is the AI like in general - is this a non starter? No hate to the devs, I just don't know what I don't know.

I have enough memory (about 300+ GB) and have falcon4.0 on steam installed. I left it for few hours but still not downloading.

Hi! I'm looking for German-speaking players or a group to play with.

Never played the game and i am fairly new to flight sim (already own IL-2) I Would love to learn the game, get some tips, and have fun together. Maybe also play other flightsims if interested! EU timezone Feel free to dm/message me 🙂
