Falcon BMS 4.37 VR READY "and Beyond" Trailer 4K

:blink: F-15 HUD symbology
Is it now possible to make the airframe-specific HUD/avionics instead of having F-16 avionics everywhere ?

Wait and see what pans out really - I think they are just developing one for now.

Yes they could export the settings out like TW did - like everything needs time and will to do it.

It just goes to show you how much of the source code has been rewritten because if you ever played with the source code like I have............even doing the GUI was major challenge because it was all so entangled with other classes.................. and at the same time you are having to convert it over to use modern C++ syntax and concepts.

Interesting.

Fingers crossed that type-specific avionics come true, one day.
This would make BMS very interesting for me  :ninja:

I hope they someday untie the game from its rudimentary disc. 2032 year. Install Falcon BMS 5.24. The first step. Insert the original game disc into yiur  CDdrive. If you don't know where to find a CDdrive, ask at the museum

It has been totally standalone for years now - the original Falcon 4 is only required as part of the licensing agreement.

When people buy the game from GOG etc they get an exe I think - but you can convert the CD to another format anyway if you only have that (eg iso).

 

BMS has also completely changed the installer this past year from the past Torrent nightmare and is currently offering an exe for 4.37.

Correct, you no longer need a disc. You just need a proper EXE. Works like a charm. You can get Falcon 4.0 at GOG for a song.

Wow realy? When I last installed this game, it was written in the official FAQ of the BMS game. insert the game disc. And if you do not have a disk, then go on an archaeological expedition. A disc was found in the sarcophagus of Pharaoh Humantep. Try your luck, maybe it's already on the black market in Cairo.

PS I still play Falcon BMS 4.32. I have two original discs bought in 1998 and 1999

I think it is a legitimate licensing issue with Tommo who owns Falcon 4.0. I don't see the big deal. F4 is on sale for $5 USD at GOG right now.

Yes they have to do as part of the licensing agreement with Tommo who own the IP currently.

      The latest iteration of the Tommo Inc Falcon 4.0 total conversion modification - Benchmark Sims 4.37 U3 - is available for you to enjoy RIGHT NOW with some major changes ( See change log below)
      BMS 4.37 U3 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.
      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 4.37.3 (X64) BUILD 1329
      CHANGELOG

      A big THANK YOU to everyone in the BMS development team and to the gents from TOMMO INC who made this release possible!

      Microprose announce they have reacquired the copyright for the Falcon series and sounds like there will be upcoming work along with continuing to work with Benchmark Sims (BMS).
