Hi Everyone:

You may have already seen an announcement from MicroProse that talks about BMS. I’m happy to confirm the details here.

Benchmark Sims are delighted to announce that the Falcon Series has returned to its original home at MicroProse, and we at Benchmark Sims are excited to continue our work with their full blessing and support.

Check out the screen shots and videos for each version of Falcon on steam to appreciate how far PC combat flight simulators have come. Those old games pushed the limits of what could be done on a PC at the time, but now look little better than Atari home system and arcade games, complete with cheesy digital synthesizer music.

This is rea;y good news,

 

Can you imagine a new sim out of this engine dedicated to the tornado or F35? The dynamic campaign alone in falcon4/falcon BMS has really never been outdone, makes DCS look like a joke.

      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!
