From your EULA that you agreed to when you installed Falcon BMS:

You may not decompile or reverse engineer the software.

You should be reading the Kollsman window value from AltCalReading in the FlightData2 shared memory area. There is no safe way to write that quantity, and no plans to add one.

I:\Falcon BMS 4.33\Docs\Key Files & Input

In particular, for changing/creating keyfils: I:\Falcon BMS 4.33\Docs\Key Files & Input\BMS Key File Editor.xls

Welcome to the BMS community. You have already found, I expect, that trying to fly Falcon BMS with mouse and keyboard presents quite a challenge. But all new sim pilots must start somewhere. In the main BMS install\Docs\Key Files & Input folder are several docs that should answer your questions. The BMS Keyfile Editor.xls has a utility for printing out a BMS function keyboard layout that you might find helpful.

Thanks for your reply, I also had used 4.32 key file. However there are no problems. I think that’s because the 4.33 key file loading function has exceptional process to accept valid callbacks in the 4.33.

Don’t know, but when the trigger paint wears off. I clean it up an use red high gloss i got from auto parts store or Hobby Lobby and it looks like new.

A plastic red trigger would eliminate the need to repaint.

I had once played around with the idea of making covers for sale, but the embroidering machine costs big bucks and to pay someone else to do that part makes the price prohibitive to what the average simmer will pay. Maybe if we get access to one of these fancy sewing machines. My neighbor bought one for $3000, but it’s not wise to borrow tools from or do business with family or neighbors.

:rolleyes:

Thank you very much FREDERF, I finally had some time to understand and apply your recommandation and it is perfect! For sure I can testify that in T.A.R.G.E.T GUI, complex key commands including ALT, SHIFT etc… with a HOLD type event doesnt work (gets stuck). I didnt know about DX buttons and I assigned all the HOLD functions to DX buttons and did bind them in Falcon as you explained and LO, everything works perfect (that includes Air brakes gradually open, but also, Gun Trigger, Pickle button, MSL step, Pinky and Paddle Switch. I even assigned unused DX buttons to the cardinal directions of the POV HAT1 for continuous control of TRIM.

thank you again!!!

I haven’t found an option for that. I wish you could use it to zoom in FOV without it being set halfway zoomed by default

Just got my MFDs. No screens yet.
Any advise on making those work with bms 4.33? Using snelle’s x55 keyfile.
Thanks!

EDIT: got the idea sorry

@Kuhprah:

Be ause i did not fjnd encoders j til now that work as they should. Jumping jnputs if you are too fast, no inputs if you are to slow and so on 😞

I had a similar issue once with an older firmware of Pokeys. I updated to the latest and got it fixed. Also resoldered the connections to exclude any issues there.
Best to use 2 bit gray type encoders by the way.

Cheers thank you

@Vyper37:

One day you’ll wish you had the same premature ejection workaround in rl!

Tell me about it… 4th kid on the way, perhaps I should have flown BMS more…

Go to www.viperpits.org and search in the Forum for “chinatobby”. Much cheaper than this one …

Okay. After some reading this thead is likely largly redundant to this one:

Well, mabe I chose the better title 😛

Note: This tool has an effect only with games using the (old, deprecated) Win32_API for joysticks. Newer games (starting at least with IL-2 1946) probably use the DirectInput API which unfortunately ignores these IDs completely.

From this quote JoyID isn’t likely to help either. 😞

Hi!

All posts has to be in English here.

if you are looking for assistance in French, please chck in into C6 Forum : http://www.checksix-forums.com/index.php

Cheers!

This will be part of U1.
Meanwhile, just search the forum. Someone took the time to implement
a non-official tool with exactly this device.

Got that battery and works like a charm, cheers, brother.

hi guys,
i think of this
it’s normal the problem with any device because windows 10 is very optimize for any machine with same family just os
just if i deep in problem , just simplify that as not flexibility with device on same directory
good journey

Since upgrading to win 10, I was having a problem with my USB input devices, Cougar HOTAS and MFD’s, losing function in the sim 3D world. The buttons would simply stop functioning, then resume normal function after awhile. I found the info on the registry hack to disable Win 10 Enhanced Power Management; however that did not solve my problem. This did (at least it seems to work so far):

Open the Device Manager, then expand the section for Universal Serial Bus controllers. For ALL of the USB Hubs right-click to invoke the menu. Choose “Properties”, go to the power management tab and uncheck the tick box that allows the computer to turn off the device. Do the same for all the USB Input devices.
