In my experience it is not a question of restarting the server, it is the client that needs to exit fully and re-join it.
Good to know, thanks!

Yesterday I was doing multiplayer in Balkans theater. My buddy was host and we started with a flight from Amendola. In the DTC I had set Amendola tower on preset UHF 15. The flight went okay but my lead was shot down. So, we went back to the lobby and my buddy planned another flight from Brnik airport. I joined the game and we did a taxi start because we were running out of time. When I got into the pit my radio was still set to preset 15 (amendola) Upon entering the pit I heard the pilot of my jet requesting taxi from the tower. This is usual behavior when starting with taxi instead of ramp. I didn’t hear the reply from the tower as we switched uhf to preset 1 and vhf to frequency 118, which is the tower of Brnik. Now when I tried contacting the tower of Brnik I could not hear the tower, nor did I hear my own pilot voice requesting taxi. My buddy however heard the reply from the tower to my call. The same happened when I requested QNH.
Now, this morning I tried a taxi take off again from Brnik in single player. The UHF preset 15 was set to amendola just like last night. Upon entering the pit, my pilot did not request taxi. Only when I switched vhf to the tower of Brnik did my pilot request taxi. I could hear the tower clearly as expected. If I switched to uhf preset 15 I could contact Amendola tower, although it was far away and not clear to hear, but this was expected. switching back to vhf 118 and uhf 1 I could talk to Brnik tower and hear the replies from the tower.
Now, we’ve been told that this kind of bug happens in multiplayer and it’s advised to always restart the server before flying another flight in a campaign. We only seem to be running into problems when doing consecutive missions on the same server instance. Sometimes the radios don’t work as expected, like we had last night. Sometimes other bugs appear.
So I’m wondering, is any work being done to resolve these multiplayer issues and why don’t online servers like falcon online and the veterans gaming server experience these issues? They have their servers running all the time and people log in and out and make flights without having to restart the server between each flight. I would say this is a bug that needs to be adressed. I would expect that I can fly multiple sorties in the same server instance in the same campaign without having to restart the server and without bugs appearing.
Depends on what you want to do. Some mods break multiplayer compatibility but if everyone uses it or you fly on your own you can try them.
Change the following lines in your falcon bms.cfg:
set g_bEnableExclusiveMouseCapture 0
set g_bMouseButton4TogglesClickablePit 1
This will prevent the dual mouse from appearing in game in the first place. Also works when you’re working with dual screen if you want to manage things on your second screen.
(in case of dual screen you need the toggle to disable the mouse, because otherwise you can get a second mouse on the second screen when you go back to Falcon.)
This reminds me of when I started out with Falcon Allied force. I didn’t know anything about the game, but I went into instant action air to air and fired missiles at anything I saw. Just lock and hit pickle. I didn’t know anything about the range of the amraam nor did I ever hear of pitbull. I was wondering why most of my missiles missed but I enjoyed it nevertheless. Then I started really studying the sim, because I wanted to hit more targets. I don’t know how much more simple the game can be with the instant action included. It was fun for me when I started out, so it must be fun for others to start out with.
When I click on the torrent or magnet link, it takes me to a ‘blocked’ url. I can’t download the torrent. Any solution for that? Perhaps someone can share the torrent itself here?
Edit: okay, Avira antivirus had flagged this 108 site as a malware site. I trust you guys anyway so I whitelisted it Problem solved.
I’ve put them to none, like I did in 4.32… it’give you immediate response from the stick which is nice when refueling and such.
The 3d drivers are present in the 285 version, but you need a card that supports it. And then, I would say if you don’t use it, it wouldn’t require resources. But some people swear by having the leanest driver possible for their card. Newer drivers often add functionality for newer cards, but the driver files become in a sense bloated if you don’t need it. The exception on this is when an error exists in an older version. Check the changelogs. I had no performance decrease in BMS with either 275 or 285 drivers. And I don’t upgrade any further, because my card is from jan. 2011
You should’ve installed it on a fresh, unmodded install of BMS. As the instructions are clear about.
