    @Hopfavogl said in 4.37.6 No alternative Lauchner in Crossover Install: What i am doing wrong? Probably nothing - well you’re probably the first person to ever try this and it’s not something officially supported, but I won’t say it’s “wrong” to try. Thanks for testing this and thanks for the bug report. This is a fascinating error… those Microsoft DirectX managed wrapper libraries are very old… from early 2000s iirc. They haven’t been updated for later .Net versions or Windows versions. They are 32-bit only and they barely still work ok on modern Windows PCs. It’s been hovering on my todo list to replace them. Anyway… I know folks with Apple Silicon macs have had success using VMWare to host Win11-for-ARM64. I don’t know of anyone using Crossover for BMS yet … but several folks do use Wine and Proton et al on other linux distros – but presumably those are all x64-based linux machines. I don’t know of anyone using Wine-based platform on ARM64 machines, yet. Good to hear the core sim engine is working ok!

    @Rudolf.Horak said in 0c0007b: @Rudolf.Horak All were good sugestions except the wipe and load. Had I done that it would have come back with the same issue and I would have lost all my work. Rudolf, please don’t take this as personal criticism, but as somebody who works in the tech world, I have seen and experienced my fair share of hard drive failures. If completely wiping your computer and starting again would have caused you to lose everything, then I would suggest you don’t have sufficient backup solutions for your work. Remember one day it may happen to you outside of your control. Secondly. I don’t understand how the error would have come back. A completely wiped computer with a fresh install of windows would have been like everybody else’s… who didn’t have this problem. Regardless, I’m glad you’ve got it fixed!

    SOLVED, as usual, user error. Instead of Mapping my hat (opposite DF Override) to MRM\DF Cancel I mapped it to MRM Override! So as soon as I canceled DF I went into MRM Override mode, causing the issue. All good now!

    @oakdesign Hello, just to report that the problem was solved just by changing the name of the server … I was using “Obe1server” for the server pilot name, while my human pilot callsign was “Obe1”. I renammed my server “Myserver” and everything is ok. Solution found thanks to an old post early 2024. Although BMS USer Manual documentation §6.7 provides recommendations about naming server and client, i would recommand to specifically write the limitation that server name MUST NOT start or contain the same name as any human pilot callsign joining as client. Thanks for taking time to look at this issue. Cheers

    I would never assume that someone else would make my own embarrassing mistakes. But it happened once or twice, a long time ago of course… when I wanted to check my frame rate, I confused [alt] C + “F” with [alt] C + “R”. Is it possible that SOMETHING you immediately did or clicked could have caused the engine fire? As well, always have an eye on your oil gauge! In multiplayer, I experience low oil pressure quite often.

    @oakdesign said in 4.37.6 BUG: VR crashes unless g_fVRResolution is exactly 1.0: @Denis know and already reported multiple times will be fixed un future version. For now leave BMS at 1 0 and upscale in your OpenXR runtime software I.e Meta Oculus or Virtual Desktop As @oakdesign noted, this is old news. The good news, however, (at least for me), is that whatever bug caused that issue now allows me to jack up my Meta Quest Link software resolution to MAX for amazing display clarity with no fps penalty. Weird, but I am a very happy camper. I’m almost afraid now of what happens when they “fix” it.

    When ordering a helicopter (any would work) to land on a SAG BMS crashes. This only happens when in the pit. The following link will give you a zip file holding the various logs and a mission file proving the issue. It has 2 flights 1 being your F16 and 1 being a helicopter assigned to land on a SAG group. When in the pit and waiting for the helicopter to land it will crash. When you move stpt 4 of the heli route onto the carrier group all works fine. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/k42x9vlckqzq1lx7p1t49/bugtest.zip?rlkey=j1hhzu1y679ixetrn87vpu6fo&st=8izuxsv6&dl=0

    After starting Falcon BMS, if you click on “Tactical Reference” on the left, the following entries are missing real life pictures: Bombs (GP Bombs): FAB-250/UKB, Mk-81 Snakeye Ex-probe, Mk-82 Snakeye Ex-probe Bombs (Anti-runway): FAB-100/UKB It looks like roughly half of the “Stores” entries are missing pictures. In place of the picture, you’ll find text that reads “NO PICTURE, PLEASE REPORT TO BMS TEAM AND PROVIDE A PICTURE OF POSSIBLE” [image: NdaF2tU.jpeg]

    @airtex2019 said in AL audio selection issue when starting with SteamVR: @Wheelchock thanks for the good bug report - will look into this… not sure if it’s fixable in AL or needs BMS code change Any relevant errors or warnings in AL log? %localappdata%\Benchmark_Sims\Launcher_Log.txt I’ll check but I would think the audio binding is valid, just not correct for VR.

    @airtex2019 said in MFD turning off randomly - Need your help: @Fearripper96 a cool trick I learned from Jolly recently – when you see a bug happen, immediately open the chat box and type “bugbug” or something similar to search for later Chat text gets recorded in the xlog Just learned that myself…this is a great tip that more need to know about. Spread the word.
