Falcon 4 BMS 4.34 Update 4 released

Recommended Posts

2020-03-29_233352.thumb.png.b9062378c9711361bcbb2f4b3477544a.png

 

On behalf of the entire BMS development team, I am happy to announce that the latest iteration of the Billion Soft Falcon 4.0 total conversion modification - Benchmark Sims 4.34 U4 - is available for you to enjoy as of RIGHT NOW!

BMS 4.34 U4 requires a legit installation of a Falcon 4.0 (all older and newer versions are accepted alike, i.e. Microprose, Hasbro, GOG, Steam, Retroism). The check is performed both at setup time and every time you start BMS. If no valid installation is found, BMS will exit with a corresponding error message.

U4 is an incremental update on top of 4.34 base + U1 + U2 + U3, so you need to have the BMS 4.34 Full Installer package and Update 1 and Update 2 and Update 3 available on your PC. You can both update your existing 4.34 base + U1 + U2 + U3 installation as well as perform a fresh 4.34 base + U1 + U2 + U3 + U4 installation from scratch, as you like. See the installation instructions below for details.

NOTES:
======

— The build number string in the Falcon UI will read "4.34.4 (x64) Build 21393" after the update.
— The shortcuts in the start menu and on your desktop will NOT be renamed to U4, they will still read "Falcon BMS 4.34" after the update.
— If you have any questions or found bugs regarding the change log items please always(!) reference the revision number, e.g. "(r12345)".
— The original 4.34.0 manuals remain valid (but please see the U1/2/3/4 changelogs for possible updates).
— None of the .ini or .cfg files will be changed.

      View File F-102A RAZBAM pack v1.0
      YOU NEED RAZBAM F-102A FOR USING THIS PACK
      ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      I had this reworked F-102A in my HD for a long time.
      I have combined Paulopanz 's skinpack in RAZBAM with my own improvements.
      I made a complete rework of the performance specs, engine data, cockpit and avionic mods, new pilots, and ravenclaw weapons with completely new loadouts.
      There is also
      - a Vietnam specific version that can fire Air to Ground AIM-4s, converted by me, and SUU-11 pods.
      - a HAF specific version which is not much more than deleted AIM-26 capability in case X aircraft and a new pilot.
      Credits must really go to
      - RAZBAM
      - Paulopanz
      - Ravenclaw
      Known issues - the SUU-11 pods are not placed correctly. I didn't have time to fix it. I hope someone will fix them.
      EDIT:
      1) About the weapons:
      - For some reason I have Ravenclaw's AIM-4E but not the AIM-4F and AIM-4G. If someone has them, please notify me to include them in the pack.
      - This is the first actual use of Ravenclaw's AIM-26s. I was really surprised to realize that the AIM-26s were actually used only in the updated F-102s. It is weird that the AIM-26s were not used in the F-101Bs and the F-106s
      - I have included the AIM-4F also. I cannot remember exactly, but the AIM-4F was actually carried by the F-102A, I am not sure if it was certified for actual combat use or only for testing (F-102s were used as development planes for the F-106). My final conclusion is that the AIM-4Fs were not issued into operational service with the F-102As simply because they were not enough AIM-4E/F/Gs made, barely enough for the F-106A alone.
      2) I have not included a READ ME file, which I think I will do in the future.
      3) a possible update would fix the SUU-11 issue plus improved avionics, if someone has some suggestions for further improvements please PM me.

      Ladies and Gentlemen,
      On behalf of the entire BMS development team, I am happy to announce that the latest iteration of the Microprose Falcon 4.0 total conversion modification - Benchmark Sims 4.37 U4 - is available for you to enjoy RIGHT NOW!
      BMS 4.37 U4 requires a legit installation of a Falcon 4.0 (all older and newer versions are accepted alike, i.e. Microprose, Hasbro, GOG, Steam, Retroism). The check is performed both at setup time and every time you start BMS. If no valid installation is found, BMS will exit with a corresponding error message.
      DISCLAIMER: Please make sure to have a clean base (no installed mods) before update…
      For those of you who are new to Falcon and still need a legacy Falcon 4.0 license, you’re lucky, as there are various season sales going on.
      Retroism GOG If you have already installed BMS 4.37 Full Installer you will need to launch the “updater.exe” in Falcon BMS root folder (or from the new launcher). Alternatively, you can use the offline incremental installer available on the Falcon BMS Download page.
      This mod may not be used for any commercial purposes. Any such use may constitute a violation of the intellectual property of Tommo Inc and the non-commercial Terms and Conditions under which Benchmark Sims make this mod available to you.
      After the update, when starting BMS, the version string in the BMS UI will now read:
      FALCON BMS 4.37.4 (X64) BUILD 2355
      A big THANK YOU to everyone in the BMS development team and to the gents from Microprose and Tommo who made this release possible!
