Falcon 4 BMS 4.34 Update 4 released

[MigBuster 2,884]

 

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.

This mod may not be used for any commercial purposes. Any such use may constitute a violation of the intellectual property of Billion Soft (Hong Kong) Limited and the non-commercial Terms and Conditions under which Benchmark Sims make this mod available to you.

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.
