I found another small thing: Boden is not red from the beginning but is captured within the first minute.
So that not the wrong movie plays at the beginning (russian retreat), I built in a failsave in event 7 (only play if event 3 has already been triggered):

// This marks Combined forces as initially on the offensive #TOTAL_EVENTS 22 #SET_TEMPO 225 #SHIFT_INITIATIVE 6 2 50 #ENDINIT // BLUE Wins - ROVANIEMY, RYTINKI and KAMILARVI captured by the Blue side #IF_CONTROLLED 2 A 148 187 129 #PLAY_MOVIE 116 #DO_EVENT 17 #END_GAME 17 #ENDIF // RUSSIA Wins - BODEN, ROVANIEMY, MALMBERGET and KESATUPIA captured by Russia #IF_CONTROLLED 6 A 967 148 873 36 #PLAY_MOVIE 113 #DO_EVENT 14 #END_GAME 14 #ENDIF // Event #3 // BODEN captured by RED side, shift priority to MALMBERGET and KESATUPIA #IF_NOT_EVENT_PLAYED 3 #IF_CONTROLLED 6 A 967 #SET_PAK_PRIORITY 6 967 10 #SET_PAK_PRIORITY 6 873 100 #SET_PAK_PRIORITY 6 36 100 #SHIFT_INITIATIVE 6 2 50 #SET_TEMPO 225 #PLAY_MOVIE 107 #DO_EVENT 3 #ENDIF #ENDIF // Event #5 // ROVANIEMI captured by Blue side, shift priority to BODEN #IF_NOT_EVENT_PLAYED 5 #IF_CONTROLLED 2 A 148 #SET_PAK_PRIORITY 2 967 100 #SET_PAK_PRIORITY 6 967 80 #SET_PAK_PRIORITY 2 148 80 #SET_PAK_PRIORITY 6 148 100 #SHIFT_INITIATIVE 6 2 50 #SET_TEMPO 95 #PLAY_MOVIE 106 #DO_EVENT 5 #ENDIF #ENDIF // Event #6 resupplies for RUSSIA and NATO #IF_NOT_EVENT_PLAYED 6 #IF_FORCE_RATIO G 6 2 L 3 #IF_RANDOM_CHANCE 90 #PLAY_MOVIE 105 #DO_MONOLOG NATO and Russia receive resupplies #SET_MINIMUM_SUPPLIES 6 2000 2000 600 #SET_MINIMUM_SUPPLIES 2 2000 2000 600 #ENDIF #DO_EVENT 6 #ENDIF #ENDIF // Event #7 // BODEN recaptured by NATO forces #IF_EVENT_PLAYED 3 #IF_NOT_EVENT_PLAYED 7 #IF_CONTROLLED 2 A 967 #PLAY_MOVIE 106 #DO_EVENT 7 #ENDIF #ENDIF #ENDIF // Event #8 // HAPARANDA owned by RUSSIAn forces #IF_NOT_EVENT_PLAYED 8 #IF_CONTROLLED 6 A 965 #PLAY_MOVIE 107 #DO_EVENT 8 #ENDIF #ENDIF #ENDSCRIPT

Changes or conditions when which movie plays:

movie russian offensive plays at the beginning when Boden is captured by RED (event 3). I deleted Malmberget from here, didn’t make sense.

movie russian retreat plays when Boden is recaptured by BLUE

movie russian offensive also plays when HAPARANDA is captured by RED (north coast Baltic Sea)

movie russian retreat also plays when ROVANIEMI is captured by BLUE

let movie 105 (both sides resupplied) back in

adjusted PAK Priorities in event 3 to better suit description

Thanks for your efforts…in this threat i found the correct .dat files. They both work.

Hi there, I am really enjoying this theatre but have noticed something odd when flying the RNoAF F16 Block 52+CFT in a campaign.

The HSI is working as expected to dial in course and heading etc, but the font and directional arrows of the instrument are very blurry/dim and hard to read, its almost impossible to distinguish the bearing numbers. It’s almost as if there is a switch I need to activate somewhere to illuminate the display- I have tried all the normal console and internal light switches, but they don’t make a difference.

Thanks

@Scorpion82

Hi Scorpion82,
Thank you. Very big and good work for my future BMs 4.37 Balkans installation.
I have downloaded your model but for the moment i fly in Balkans 4.36 ( largerly modified for my only use) and i use the standard F16 Cockpit for EF2000. For now i would like to add only the right EF2000 Cockpit wings and skins so i need the parent number and skin numbers extracted from Nordic 4.36. Also because i don’t think your model is compatible with BMS 4.36. Thanks for your help.

Navigating through the discussions about the compatibility and performance of BMS 4.33 versions on different Windows XP configurations is quite enlightening! It’s fascinating to see how the community shares experiences and solutions to keep enjoying the simulator on various system setups. Your insights, jpcfbms4, about memory management and potential causes of crashes in certain theaters, as well as tips on system settings and AHCI SATA driver installation, are invaluable. I’m working on a research paper about the evolution of flight simulators and their communities, and I’m read this article considering using a writing aid service to ensure my paper is well-structured and polished. Has anyone here ever explored how the technological advancements in flight simulators have impacted the user community and learning experiences over the years? 🕹️✈️

I’m currently working on a research paper about the impact of realism in military simulations

Sounds interesting, sir.

Don’t have any of those anymore

It seems like they are all here :

I guess they all need to be converted to 4.37, do you remember which version of BMS they were made for in 2017?

Good catch this, dear mate…
Thanks a lot for your help and effort.

But I unfortunately have to confirm that all of them should be converted per MC before attempting anything else - I remembered there was one of mine among them, by the matter, so I would be more than only curious to see what, and how, I put in it, 😆.
And here the troubles come, I’m really afraid:

as first, MC Converting a mission utility needs to run the previous Nordic version to be installed within its proper Falcon version installation (of 6 years ago, please note: what is, and is it still available here? I’m suspecting it to be one of the 4.32 ones, but I’m not totally sure) as a basic requirement; that admitted, and successfully accomplished!, serious incompatibility conflict will immediately come between their maps itselves’ content (assets!) and databases (the elder and the most recent one, I mean), thus distorting the real essence of a serious tactical engagement: its fidelity to its creator’s will and concepts.

My very sad conclusion could not different that this one be: that isn’t worth any best effort.
Thinking to conceive new missions from scratch, of practical necessity, would come better, besides that faster.

Just my own cent (of Euro) here, nothing more or else, of course.

With best regards, dearest @Killroy and @luke777 .

@farazparsa We checked both the A and B and both took off properly in our new database. In the meantime, have you tried the F-35C?

@Mogreid I know your post is a few months old but I just encountered something quite similar during a campaign in the Georgia theater.

I joined the 71st as an escort flight out of Batumi A.B. , escorting a naval strike flight who’s target was…

Port Royal SAG (USS Port Royal and USS Momsen - US Navy!

A strange frag but OK - I’ll play.

My 2 ship gets waxed by missiles from the USS Port Royal.

In the end, the color-coded indicators of NATO, Russia etc. are completely arbitrary - you can have any “side” own any asset but it does kinda mess with the immersion for me to being flying for Georgia but fragged to attack what feels like a friendly.

@alu332 said in 4.36 compatibility?:

is polar vortex compatible with bms 4.36? help!

https://forum.falcon-bms.com/topic/22773/nordic-theater-4-36

Hello! Will the theatre be updated to 4.36?

<p><a href=“

@maxwaldorf Hello from Norway. I did a fresh installation to day from scratch, also with the mission commander. I read Falcon BMS 4.35.3 (x64) Build 24585 when i start the UI. Still no response from Russian Task Force, but AirDefence and Russian planes behave as expected. When I make a scenario outside Korea, everything works fine, and the task force fights back when i close up with my Norwegian F-16`s with Pingvin. Please be advised.

@luke777 So I’ve read on Tacview website here. https://www.tacview.net/documentation/staticobjects/en/
It says you can edit the BMS file Tacview uses but I am not really understanding exactly how that language works. I have no experience editing xml files. Perhaps you could take a look?

How? I can´t get it to work neither. Trying to use WDP with NTO Polar Vortex.

Hello everyone…

i ran into some issues with the B1b in the Polar Vortex Theater…
it seems that i cant load any weapons on the Bone… When adding any kind of available bomb into the three internal hardpoints the number count in this slots shows how many bombs are loaded as usual but the
weapon weight doesn’t raise at all and the bombs are not loaded…
In flight i see the loaded weapons on sms page and can power on and align jadams for example and everything is normal but there are physically no weapons loaded… i can even see the “rel” message on
sms page but no bombs dropped…
I tried jdams gbu’s jsow and mk82’s… non of them worked…
The target pod on the external pod hardpoint work fine… can load and unload it and it show up, add weight and works in flight…
The really weird thing is that I already dropped a huge load of jdams on an airfield with the exact same aircraft… so it worked just fine earlier in campaign…
I tried an auto generated mission and didn’t touch the loadout but same thing… weapons in the system but not physically in the bays…
The weapon supply is also good… Wingmen couldn’t load any bombs either… they give me the call “gbu away” over target but no bombs where released…
Somebody have an idea what i can do about it?

@AS1D123:

speaking of aegean im looking for a download link for it. anybody got it for 4.33 u2?

Hello.
Trying this from here: https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?34071-Aegean-theater-v2-x-BMS-4-33
I think I was had it with this BMS version…

Seems that’s it. I’ve installed Nordic on a 4.33 version and there’s the cockpit. Still needs work, but looking promising. I was just curious about it.

Thanks!

Yup I got the same exact issue. I tried everything that was mentioned in thread so far and still the same crash….:mad:

Thank You, downloading right now.
