RE: Falcon BMS Alternative Launcher (Easy Setup, Keep Joystick Assignments)
Thank you Fluke. I have the x56, only use it for the sim Orbiter. Its bulky to be honest. When I first purchased it, (it was a new release then) it was produced by Saitek. Out of box it had some issues. I contacted Saitek. They were slow on the response. Found out why they were slow and not cooperative (when they did reply) , because Logitech was in process of acquiring them to some extent. Well when Logitech officially acquired Saitek, Logitech honored the warranty and sent me a replacement. I trashed the original one. They had me cut the wires and send pictures of it prior to Logitech shipping their replacement x56 to me. I happily did as they instructed, I had nothing to lose even if they didn’t. Saiteks X56 had some major issues. The new replacement works well, that is , when I use it. Regardless , of being very functional, it feels bulky to me (((bulky meaning, I need quick access to certain controls on the throttle, but the throttle handles are big and controls are far apart –- when simming in BMS, one needs to have quick access and the x56 controls are spaced too far apart )))))))), and I feel I need to have the hands of a 7-6" person that plays basketball to handle the throttles. But anyway, I may give the x56 a try again. I repacked it, since I run with BMS more so than Orbiter. Also, I got a complaint from the wifey, she said that there were, Too, many HOTAS on my 50" desk. Plus, honey you don’t use the other, so why not just pack it up until you have a need for it. So I packed it up and stored it and only reconnect it until the x56 is needed for like Orbiter or FSX (can’t wait for 2020 to come out). I have the x52 pro in use 98 percent of the time for BMS and other stuff. But anyway, thank you Fluke for your response. Appreciated. By the way, I’m using the KeyFile Editor, ((currently experimenting with the Alternative Launcher, has nice features. Thank you to the developer chihirobelmo), for most of the keymapping
and using Logitechs’ programming software to control the mini/micro stick. I just thought there was a tool that had everything built-into it so I didnt have to use multiple tools . Your the best thanks Fluke. -
RE: Falcon BMS Alternative Launcher (Easy Setup, Keep Joystick Assignments)
Yep Mar and thanks for the reply.
In the past most x52 and x52 pro end users had to create a profile (((*.pro type file)))) using the X52 Pro HOTAS’ programming software specifically to use the Ministick to control the Radar cursor. Otherwise all the other controls were programmed outside of the Manufacturer"s software by using DX created profiles . We were stuck with this method and unfortunately had to use the HOTAS software only for the mini stick because of the analog inputs the mini sticked used to communicate. Also We needed to load this profile ( *.pro file) prior to opening BMS and to make the mini stick control the Radar cursor and also the DX profile is loaded within BMS for the remaining controls.
SIDE. NOTE:
I have heard of people altering their Windows ’ OS" Registry to overcome this, but that is out of the question and a no no for most END Users .
I’m not certain if the ALTERNATIVE LAUNCHER made thE more cumbersome method mentioned above a little less cumbersome by including a feature that a user can select the mini stick for such controllers like the X52, X52 PRO and more …. as an input to control the Radar cursor.

RE: Falcon BMS Alternative Launcher (Easy Setup, Keep Joystick Assignments)
From javelin10–—With an x56 you would definitely want to assign the left ministick to Radar Cursor (Cursor X/Cursor Y) and probably use the right ministick as a 4-way hat for CMS up/down/left/right, as in the real HOTAS.
Hello Javelin and all knowledgeable about this: Thanks in advanced.
So, How do users like myself and others that have X52 PRO program the mini - stick that is on the right side of the throttle to control the Radar cursor. (((( ( specifically for for the X52 Pro))) using the Alternative Launcher??? You / javelin have it working on the X56 . We need your insite for the X52 Pro. We need to use the the X52 PRO’s ministick to control the Radar cursor and are thinking that we are missing something in Alternative Launcher to do this. Or do we need to continue to use the Logitech HOTAS software to do this by setting the X and Y bands as in the past.???
Thank goodness Logitech acquired Saitek.
Coincidently I have a X56 but only use it for a space flight simulation and not BMS. I got a replacement X56 after Logitech acquired Saitek. I had issues with the X56 that Saitek manufactured and after Logitech took over , Logitech sent me an replacement made by them. It was better built , especially the throttle. The throttle responded better ( but the throttle is still huge to operate , that’s another story. But no more jitters at least)) The original Saitek produced X56 units had many flaws and jitters. I was the lucky one that had issues with Saitek’s version of the X56. Thank goodness Logitech saved the day. -
RE: TomsKorea2015-Reloaded
What version is that in the Pictures on this page , 4.32 or 4.33? However, regardless , I need 4.32 Tom Catz’s Korea. Where do I go for that. Is it the “Reloaded”“” version. Thanks for your efforts and response.

RE: TomsKorea2015-Reloaded
It has been so long , I forgot my way around town and some of the developers of Theatres. But I remember your work TK. However, Tom need your input. Im still using 4.32, regardless, so I need to know, what flavor of your work must I use, and even more the instructions. Im sure, objects like structures, vehicles, AI planes and more need to be revived as well. Korea is my world, so Im sticking with it for a while. I love toy stores , where most will get lost in, but the objective is Korea.
I need your help bringing my old system back to life with BMS. This computer has not been powered up for years. I think its been over a year since I have simmed on anything BMS, Janes, MS flight sims and more . Too many other things going on with the growing kids , now adults and more. I am a fan of the past, and simmed with my elders at work after hours, but those days are unfortunatley over. Too many other tasks, killed the end of the day hobbies for our little team of guys. Most of which were IT guys who built a internal network just for us to sim on. Now Im bringing the fun back home here, on my system after a long time away from BMS. I cant believe I am soo far behind, wow 4.33. I visited the page did a little reading, but the last I heard there is some legal things going on with it. But, regardless this is a 4.32 RIG, not a 4.33 RIG so, too Im simming alone, no MP for me. I just want to add your theatre to this fresh new install of BMS 4.32. Brand new fresh install, U1-U7. But I want all of your work to compliment it. Afterwards it will be all business for me flying in BMS. I like to keep it simple, re-learn skills that I have forgotten to an some extent. Boy I wear glasses now. I did not a year + ago. Hits like a brick it does, plus two surgerys months apart. Knock on wood. But BMS makes my day end smoothly. Like Brandy and even a Lager. Let me know, Im still updating my OS, Windows 7 on this one has not been touched. My windows 10 rig, cant be touched, regardless of its MB and Processing power, my wife uses that system too. It used for home business, lots of business media stuff she does at home. 4.33 will go well there, I think, I need to check the GPU, not sure regardless of what it does in rendering in 3D??? But I want my own system anyway, no sharing required on my limited time. Dont have to hear , honey I need to be on that tonight. Well anyway, Tom, I remembered your work back 2 years ago. I just want to start over fresh again. I just cant believe I have forgotten my way around , I’m uncertain on how to update those Korea folders, install properly when adding better tiles and more. Your info. and efforts will be appreciated. Besides I think you made changes to the whole process anyway. Take care. I did visit your Website.

RE: WIP - East Mediterranean Front theater (EMF) theater
Just asking. Will bring to the table tomorrow, during our next next meeting. if we have a problem, I am sure to communicate with my colleagues. Will check into it . That what is not broken may be broken to a little extent. However, no stress on our end. Even use a video conference and talk engine when playing using an secondary pc es but all riding on the same network. Additionally including entering data into our database software, while pausing one or more of our pc’s when we get erroneous calls from our clients, during emergencies service calls and some keep playing. Give me some in-sight. For some that would definitely cause issues on a network all that stuff going on at the same time. You mentioned it will stress our network of PC’s. Just asking for your input there Arty. I have spoken to you before. YOu were always helpful with all of us. Do i have something to bring to my colleagues or not, a minor change. I am not the software and network guru in our group. She and RoninWarrior will know what you mean. Just type it up . I will pass it on to her. she will look into it. Maybe we will gain some smoothness, that we were obviously missing. You are the best Arty. Thanks. Back to EMF. Will stay tuned. Your input maybe even help BMS. OUr network kicking but, however, had some issue with ITO sometime ago on first try. They dropped it . But anyway. thanks.

What will stress the system? Never had issue with each of our Pc’s. plays well in multiplayer. No problems.

RE: WIP - East Mediterranean Front theater (EMF) theater
As you can see, when I am here, my job is to keep up with the main posts. So to keep up with changes . Update 7 was the last. So I am the BMS member. I was voted in for that. I brought BMS to the table, after simming well in AF for some time. They agreed, BMS looked amazing, especially after I showed them the trailer, they loved the flares. AF still liked more so . Mainly because we have no issues with it. After trying to keep up with you simmers and members here in BMS , thousands of posts I have read, I bring some of your posts and developments to the table at least once a week sometimes more. 4 others took the job to take into account my findings. Than voted on by 8 of us. The remaining two, are impartial go with the flow. So far, only a few things have been included in our system. Many others add-ons, including well altered skins also have been denied for some reason. Haa, they did vote on HiTiles for AF years ago, overwhelmly. We bought it for around 20 bucks years ago, and when we reinstall on the host it is always put back in.
