Tool to check data file integrity for multiplayer

The server has the option to require unaltered data files to prevent clients from giving themselves super powers, see g_bRequireSameAcdataMP. The files checked are:
.dat files in Data\Sim\ .xml files in Data\TerrData\Objects
The server checks the hash of the clients and will not allow connection if there’s a mismatch. As it’s a hash check, even an added space will cause failure.

To help finding the culprit, a tool was added to u3. In <BMS folder>\Tools\BMS Hash Checker\ you’ll find it. The server can create a checksum file, which clients can use to find the file that is causing the issue

@AviationPlus
Yes, I was always a little bit annoying to see this glow in the cockpit. I tought that it is the engine limitation to see the light trought the fusealage . I hope this will get rid of in the new engine/ model file format .

Because if the flare is activated bottom of the AC, how can we see those in the cockpit? It is blocked by fusealage and the wings.Maybe if the AC has a upper dispenser like the mig29/szu27 or the Gripen. but I don’t thint those couse such intense light in the cockpit like in the game that we can’t see anything just the yellow light.

@Chaussette said in Alternative launcher is asking for admin rights:

Very important : Please note I installed BMS on Windows sandbox, then I moved folders and registry keys in the native Windows. I asked some friends about

This is obviously not supported – install the software in the OS as intended. The installer updates registry key permissions, as you’ve discovered.

@Xeno Thanks for your help in pointing me in the right direction. I was using the correct prefix, however, after poking around I found out that Wine was not installed correctly. After trying to uninstall/restore/reinstall several times, I could not get Wine to work correctly. So I ended up loading my Falcon 4 into Steam and running Falcon BMS with that method, which seems to work so far.

@Pike6709 some devices with more than 32 buttons feature an option to divide themselves into multiple 32-button segments

BMS supports up to 128 buttons per device now.

Oi, Vinicius!

BMS became a RAM checker: About a month ago I was CTDing in one of my PCs always on a debug print function always after 3-4 minutes in a TE mission, not dogfight. All other my PCs working ok. No sense at all. Then I did a memtest and found out that one of the dimms was completely furbared.
If nothing helps you here, please do a memtest.
