@PurpleGhost52:

Considering the purchase of an ASUS G752VT ROG laptop. CPU is I7-6700HQ and GPU is Nvidia 970m. As I feel the 970m will be adequate for BMS 4.33, my question is of the 6700HQ CPU. The CPU’s base speed is 2.6GHz with a Turbo 1-core speed of 3.5GHz.
Does this mean that as long as I run BMS by itself, no other programs or apps running, that I can expect continuous 3.5GHz performance giving me a “good” (understandingly not great) BMS 4.33 experience?
Other than the expense and lack of upgradability that laptops impose, any hidden BMS performance pitfalls in this Skylake laptop package?

It appears you want some portability and overall, having a single powerful laptop is more affordable than having a powerful desktop AND a laptop.

The model Asus you’ve indicated will easily run BMS 4.33 (and later versions) even with other programs and apps running. So, just for BMS, the ROG can be considered overkill/overspend. Buy the ROG or similar if you are playing other newer and far more CPU/GPU intensive game titles.

Issue other than BMS you REALLY need to consider before making a purchase of one of these gaming laptops:

quality of customer service and tech support (Although Asus hardware is as good as anyone else’s, I have noticed too many Asus customers indicating bad CS/TS)

form factor
a) All else constant, the thin laptops will heat faster and die sooner. They are sometimes more difficult to service and/or upgrade too.
b) The thicker laptops have more room for bigger/mulitple fans (think “blowers”) and heat exchanges, easier to service, and many feature modularity and upgradability too.
c) misc such as DVD/Blue Ray, choice of ports, etc

Portability. 15 inch and smaller are easier to transport with many available bags and packs to choose from. A thick 17 inch laptop is actually pretty easy to transport too, but the bag and pack options are almost non existent. For my 17" laptop (msi GT72 Dominator), I decided to go higher quality and durability and ended up purchasing a military grade “3-day assault pack” (e.g., 5.11 Rush 72). I noticed the few laptop bags specifically available for 17" laptops were cheaply made and way over priced.

Choice of vendor. Plenty to choose from (Best Buy, ebay, Tiger, newegg, etc). Big box such as COSTCO and Sam’s have their advantages too. For example, I purchased my laptop from COSTCO because
a) it was the best price for the model I could find
b) you have 90 days to play with it and you can return it for full refund if you don’t like it
c) 3 yr SquareTrade after market “service agreement” was only $99.00!

@Sweet19blue:

But what about that 2nd keypress on “3” to change default viewpoint as written in the manual?

Works just w/o TIR.

Hi, I will have a look at this, thanx.

@Earlybite:

Here is a picture which shows the situation directly after I was rescued and maybe 15 sec. after debriefing:

You can see either the ruler which shows up a 30 nm radius…

Earlybite

This doesn’t necessarily mean anything because if no friendlies are picking up those aircraft on sensors it won’t be displayed on the 2D map.

Thank you,
I d’on’t find weather.cfg but weather.ini, I think it’s right file. 😉
I’ve opened it and I’ve found :
TimeZone 2
Latitude 31
Longitude 34

For ITO

@Darkman:

This is not correct, you can have the install/setup folder on a different drive.

What I actually meant to say was the Setup folder. In my case, with Setup folder in my HDD and BMS on SSD, I would get launch screen but buttons for launching game IVC etc. were greyed out (not clickable). When I put Setup folder in SSD, it works as it should. Is this wrong?

@Reaper58th:

I for my parts would NEVER recommend the laptop/Win10 combo for a dedicated BMS PC. But the damage has already been done so ….

If you have the chance i would at least try to deinstall win 10 updates, i often read about problem after updating windows. If it is really a dedicated BMS PC i would consider to install Win7 on your laptop.

I used the recommendation list from this website when buying the laptop, unfortunately it’s not feasible to re install Windows 7 at this moment, do you know any experts who might be able to help through reading the crash reports ?

I believe you need to set up some different weather. Check out chapter 5 of the BMS manual (in your Docs folder).

For some reason I can’t directly upload the TE, I’ve clicked attachments then add files and pointed it to the TE files, tried the .ini, the .tac & the .twx with the message from the manager saying invalid file. I don’t follow I guess.

@l3crusader:

.key files in [Install folder]->User/Config, they store key assignations.

cf Docs/Keyfiles & Inputs->BMS Keyfile manuals.pdf if you are interested in how they work.

Actually im having trouble entering “Setup” menu in the main menu of BMS 4.33, Ninja mentioned that I changed the keyfile, So I wanted to understand what it is.

@Richtho:

ok thanks.

But in Falcon BMS 4.32, the ships I added on TE moved in the sea, so I wonder why in BMS 4.33, the ship I added on map did not move now.

Instead of using Mission Commander, is there a solution in TE, to move ships on map simply.

Thank-you.

Go to MC and open the T.E Click <units>and then Taskforces Click the ship and map will open In WPTs set how many you want Click WPT 2, go to map and rigth click wherever you want Continue with other WPTs Apply and SAVE Go to FALCON choose the T.E –->edit and move time ahead about 2 min, save and you ready

This is the Solution with M.C</units>

Yes it is a bit of work to find the right balance. (I’m ATI)

I let BMS run the show with AA at mid levels.

No… 😕 use a thrustmaster flight-hotasX…… thought it was a software problem of the simulator, i’ll try setting the keyboard the trim…
Thank’s… 🙂

The toebrakes axes are actually intelligent. “Brakes” operate both brakes unless “right brake” is also assigned (not Keyboard) in which case “brakes” becomes “left brake.” So you get the choice of using a single axis for both or independent axes. There is no reason at all to complain about them apart from the fact that the label isn’t “Brakes unless you bind right brake in which case this is left brake” which wouldn’t fit on the screen.

Not being able to invert a throttle axis sucks. It’s a curious situation of how one got into that mess in the first place. I wonder if you compared the axismapping.dat file in a hex editor with various invert checkboxes on and off if one couldn’t identify what digits control the inversion and see if it’s possible to flip those hex values in order to check the throttle “invert checkbox” in hex even though it’s missing in the UI. It’s a long shot but it’s within imagination.

Yea I could do that but the crash log ain’t just there. In my case Falcon isn’t generating any crash log…
So I saw the post for FFB devices I have a FFB device which when I have unplugged Falcon 64bit works so I tried renaming the force feedback dll and it works.

Hi, yes that’s a known issue with gimbals when not the FCR nor TGP were on the MFD, I couldn’t find a cure to it at that time so I left it as-is.

The good news is this thread made me look again and now I found the bug, so it will be fixed, thanx 🙂

@mjr227:

I’m having the same problem but cant find the virtual rudder in config, can you take a screenshot?

After you double click your shortcut there is a “Configuration” option under the “Launch” option. Click config then expand the “Hardware” folder in the config window by clicking on the plus sign to the left of the hardware folder. Second option down is the “Enable Virtual Rudder”.

If I could help I saw that fps drop(in 3d) when a pop up like 1st lieutnant appear at the end of the mission…don’t know why ,in 4.32 my fps drop(in 3d) when there is a message from the intell(with movie) at the end of mission.

After it works ok.And when it appear after 10 mission the fps drop again.

Completely independent. It works just as well as not SoftTH.

Yeah…and I must have gone over TARGET a thousand time to make sure I was using the correct momentary switch command - which I was, in several places. Only one giving me any problems was the trigger. Anyways, I’ve ditched TARGET completely and as I set up my pit build I plan to go DX for every button, switch, and command possible. I may even build my own stick and throttle input interfaces just because the basic Cougar PCB is outdated from an sampling rate standpoint…besides, I have a RealSim TUSBA for my TQS and it polls at 20 Hz vice 10, I think…big improvement. So I’d like to do the same for an FCC3 or Ribbstick…when I get that far.
