I will try it and let you know the result, many thx Snake 122

Cheers Vordy

Not sure about No Plan, but inactive units are those which are not yet participating in the campaign but fragged to join at some point in the future. They can be displayed or not displayed on the 2D map, based on, I believe, an option in MC on the ground units page. Hope this helps some.

@ohommes I just upgraded to Windows 11 after getting all software I use checked:
F4TS Works
TrackIR works
DEDCapture with FTDI drivers: works
Joystrick Gremlin: Works
And of course BMS 4.36.3: Works

After hours of investigation I figured out that I need this setting to use trim with the POV hat of my Hotas Warthog:

AFElevatorTrimUp 0 -1 -3 0 0x0 0
AFAileronTrimRight 0 -1 -3 1 0x0 0
AFAileronTrimRight 0 -1 -3 2 0x0 0
AFAileronTrimRight 0 -1 -3 3 0x0 0
AFElevatorTrimDown 0 -1 -3 4 0x0 0
AFAileronTrimLeft 0 -1 -3 5 0x0 0
AFAileronTrimLeft 0 -1 -3 6 0x0 0
AFAileronTrimLeft 0 -1 -3 7 0x0 0

I added this section manually to the key file.

Unfortunately, when I start with AL this section is getting overriden by this code:

AFElevatorTrimUp 0 -1 -3 0 0x0 0
SimDoNothing 2 -1 -3 0 0x0 0
SimDoNothing 0 -1 -3 1 0x0 0
SimDoNothing 2 -1 -3 1 0x0 0
SimDoNothing 0 -1 -3 2 0x0 0
SimDoNothing 2 -1 -3 2 0x0 0
SimDoNothing 0 -1 -3 3 0x0 0
SimDoNothing 2 -1 -3 3 0x0 0
AFElevatorTrimDown 0 -1 -3 4 0x0 0
SimDoNothing 2 -1 -3 4 0x0 0
SimDoNothing 0 -1 -3 5 0x0 0
SimDoNothing 2 -1 -3 5 0x0 0
SimDoNothing 0 -1 -3 6 0x0 0
SimDoNothing 2 -1 -3 6 0x0 0
SimDoNothing 0 -1 -3 7 0x0 0
SimDoNothing 2 -1 -3 7 0x0 0

I have no idea were it comes from or how I can change in AL in order to get the correct setting.

Can anyone help?

I use YAME with 4.36 with the exception of the DED, MFD and RWR, those are displayed by the RTT client and put above those displays from YAME. I have no issues reading the rest of the instruments I have in my setup.

@Falcas no. I worked with older version. till the updates, i install last MC and that work perfectly.

The size of an unit in F4 is defined in the DB and not in the campaign file.
If I still remember correctly you need to edit the DB and, for that, you need the F4 Editor. Not the mission commander.

Ok, thanks for the answers and your time

@Icer

Ok. Thanks!

@Blue-Sky said in Falcon BMS Acronyms:

@Arty
Can you show me where the acronym (HFFM) is in the documentation?

In the
HFFM manual 🙂

I am trying to get TerrainEditor to work and it always crashes with file not found. Is it still supported. If so where is the current version?

I think …
/bin/x64/Falcon BMS.exe

Thanks, Airtex and jayb,
To be honest, jayb, We still don’t know what happened. I didn’t change any AL commands ,or any of the files AL interacts with. it just stopped working in 3D.
Since I am a big fan of Chiri and AL, I needed a quick solution, as in reinstalling BMS.
That fixed it.
There is a nice silver lining to that cloud, though. Mafia Brother Eddie gave me a really cool procedure , hereafter and forever know as the Painless BMS Reinstall 😉

"BMS Painless Reinstallation Readme

Mafia Brother Eddie showed me a painless way to reinstall BMS if something get borked.

Go into your File Explorer and rename your main BMS Folder to mine, Backup, or whatever (Ex: Falcon BMS 4.36-mine) Make a new folder titled Falcon BMS 4.36. Copy and paste the Setup Application exe to you new folder. Now go to your BMS Setup folder and run the exe. to unstall BMS. Half of the beauty of this prodecure is that it will look to your new folder,“clean the slate” of the registry entry and such, but all your files will still exist! Now, in Setup run the exe. again. The other half of the beauty of this is that your bsf files are still in setup. You don’t have to download everything again. Now go to x>4.36backup/main/whatever>data>terrdata>theater definition and copy theater.lst to your new install. Finally, go to x>x>4.36backup/main/whatever>data>and move all the "Add-on…"theater folders to the new BMS. You have 2 options with that. You can copy and paste. This takes awhile to do, but you will have backup. Or, just move them, which is a lot quicker. "
I didn’t try to save my old BMS-Auto. I didn’t know it was borked, too( though it didn’t seem to be) So, it may work for you to copy Auto, or whatever keyfile you use, from the original folder . I simply reset HOTAS via AL

@JUmpstart5179 look here…
https://forum.falcon-bms.com/topic/23065/supporting-native-tacview-in-bms-4-36-1

Thanks. I can’t get it to work either following the steps or using the map that Fish provided. Maybe I 'll just wait for it to be integrated.

@Fish44

Yep, that pretty much sums it up 😉

Use the dll from weapon delivery planner…
Install the visual studio libraries…

Works for 95% of people

Hi @Falcas

Yes, my reference to 2,049 refers to the kb.

Previously, I regarded a DDS kb value of less than 2,049 as an indication of corruption.

As I mention above, I copied and pasted a DDS with a kb value of 2,049 from 4.35 into 4.36 and it worked.

But, you say the kb has no relevance.

I have, however, been supplied with a fresh set of DDS files by a friend and the WDP is again active.

Thanks for your reply,

Bayonet.
