the latest amd integraded graphics are quite capable, almost equal to my GTX1650 which runs falconBMS wiithout a problem? Do anyone know / have tested if falconBMS runs on those GPUs??? (i’m thinking to buy a mini pc and the only game i care to play is falconBMS…) thank you in advance, JOhn

Thanks for the explanation. I’ll have to workaround this for now.

@MaxWaldorf

@finsterdow Multiple downloads and checksum always fails? When you were comparing checksums were you were comparing it to the one on BMS website? It works fine here.

@dumba said in "wrong" tankers expected behaviour: @jayb OK, I think this is what’s going on, in fact I’m a bit embarassed AWACS doesn’t call out tanker’s TACAN, but the value you need to enter (63 channels apart), but 2D map shows TACAN channel. “the controller will reply with the callsign, position, the TACAN channel you should input” I entered 2D map’s values shifted by 63, et voila… got ranges to all 3 tankers in the TE. Makes sense looking back, since it’s the same A/A TACAN you’d use with your wigmen… Chalk this one up to stupid. Thats interesting, that could explain any discrepancy between what 2D shows and what AWACS tells you in 3D. As for AWACS, as far as I remember, AWACS will give you the TACAN that you should enter verbatim and that will then work in 3D (no +63 math necessary) Is that what you meant? I am pretty sure that is how for instance the AAR TE works which has several tankers airborne. I will test that out tonight

@HaggisHero said in F-15 spotlight target: @Rainmaker Wow calmdown pal I’m fine guy. It’s a pretty trivial topic, well aware. I said what needed to be said.

@Dan great resource, love the digest.

@The_Fish never use root as a normal user. Respect the power it has! It’s like flying (and landing) with the afterburner on full. The easiest way for me to install Falcon was with Lutris and the GOG version of Falcon 4. (and as you know already know from the cover: “don’t panic”)

@JonKing23 another even easier if you create a flight in TE Editor there is a drop down that let’s you select if the flight starts at Takeoff, ingress or target

@suhkoi69 said in where find the old versions of 4.37 ? TE incompatible between U4 & U6 ?!: (like U4)…honestly, it’s a nightmare to find them…besides, I still don’t know where to find them Here I put the download link for the different UPDATES of 4.37 that we use in our wing, this is not the official method of the FALCON BMS community and I do not approve of it, but it is the resource that we use and it does not fail us. GREETINGS. 4.37, U1, U2, U3 https://www.mediafire.com/folder/9wnbgylv39qzw/FALCON_BMS_4.37#4fun0h93nyi8l 4.37, U4, U5 https://www.mediafire.com/folder/wkfomewut82qw/FALCON_BMS_4.37#5gdvh1hkp87w2

@Mav-jp said in "UNABLE NO JOY": « No joy » means that he cannot see the target , mostly happens when using Laser guided bombs in fair > 6/8 , poor or inclement conditions Thanks Mav, is there a “distance” factor as well as a visibility factor in AI’s calling “no joy”? I thought if you had the enemy target locked on the radar and they were using non laser/visible munitions they would attack? I don’t remember having this issue before U5. Ironman

@oakdesign I think you may be right, I got a mouse and the mousewheel worked, disconnect the mouse in-game an the mousepad also worked, however on restarting the game without the mouse, it stopped working as well. I think I’ll just use the mouse alongside. Thank you for your input

@Xeno said in Display problem after U5 update (I'm back to the stone age): 4.37u6 fixed The 4.37u6 fixed works for me ! no more problem under linux ! Thanks to You and @Ferde and Happy New Year! (It begins well !!)

Interesting fact. Whatever the issue is, its with my headset. I switched to another output device (my computer speakers) and I can hear everything correctly including comms. Another thing I noticed is that the caution bitchin betty wasn’t working either so its not just comms. So now I know its something with my headset. Just not sure what yet.

@SILENT_ONE set as solved please

@oldmike 1. When Windows is seemingly not working correctly, you will want to scan the file system - like verifying the integrity of a Steam game install, but for the entire operating system. It usually takes around 10-20 minutes to run, or longer depending on the speed of the disk. I do this monthly myself, after my ‘deeper’ monthly backup: “If some Windows functions aren’t working or Windows crashes, use the System File Checker to scan Windows and restore your files. Though the steps below might look complicated at first glance, just follow them in order, step-by-step…” https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/use-the-system-file-checker-tool-to-repair-missing-or-corrupted-system-files-79aa86cb-ca52-166a-92a3-966e85d4094e Perform any backups and/or create a restore point as you desire, apply any/all latest Windows updates, then run the SFC with DISM steps. 2. To verify the safety and security of your Windows installation, use the Microsoft Safety Scanner. I also perform this monthly, or anytime I am concerned (along with other 3rd party security scanning tools): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/intelligence/safety-scanner-download Run the MS Safety Scanner, and any 3rd party scanning tools, to ensure your system has no security issues. It may simply be a false-positive, as stated in the replies above, but these steps are safe and smart to take on a regular basis, regardless. Best wishes and good luck!!

@SILENT_ONE Not really considered a tool any more - it’s the official BMS launcher, usually only bypassed for some special setups.

@Selot Use the helmet’s polarized filter with ALT+V as mentioned by the colleague above, use it in high sun conditions or when trying to see an object on the horizon close to the sun. You can also correct the GAMMA in your video card settings, NVIDIA, AMD and the INTEL HD integrated graphics have this option in their respective settings menus, although I don’t think this is the reason, but you have that option.
