How To Get Started with flying the Falcon?

I’ll take a look mate But what is JSGME?
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=4333
It’s a simple file shuffling program that’s useful for modding games that work on file adding/replacement. The idea is that you have:
\Game
\Game\JSGME.exe
\Game\path\texture.file (example)If you want to replace texture.file with a modded one you would put the new one in
\Game\MODS\ModName\path\texture.file
Then when you run JSGME.exe there will be a “ModName” entry in the list with an arrow to apply this mod folder’s contents. It then takes the contents of folder \ModName\ and applies it to the root where JSGME.exe ran. The result is that \ModName\path\texture.file will overwrite \Game\path\texture.file.
The upshot is it makes backups and tracks multiple mods that handle the same file and so on so there’s always an “undo” button and you’re back to unmodded.

Hi, now i know why i don’t got the joystick to work… My game crashes when i’m trying to go to setup… uninstalled the game now. And don’t want to install it again before i know it will work… Tried to install it 3 times now.
-
Don’t apply any addons or mods until you get your game working.
-
For sure not. But do you have any sugestions?
-
Reinstall woithout mods and watch if it works

Good idea! just try to run Falcon 4.0 whitout bms
-
Do NOT install Falcon4.0 …… BMS is a Stand alone application. The installer only needs to know that you have a copy of the original Falcon4.0 , then it will allow you to install BMS.

Oki, roger that!

Did a new try, installed the game “again” Did it the right way, pointing the bms installer to the “falcon.BMS Folder”. When i tried lanching the game, it works fine. But when i’m trying to go to SETUP the game crashes… What did i do wrong?
-
SETUP like the button to configure your joystick? Next to Logbook and Exit?
What does your BMS version number show in the lower right corner of the main menu?

Yes, that button.
Lower Right corner: Falcon BMS 4.32.7(x86) Build 12391

Do you by chance have the movie intro turned on? It may not be related, but worth while checking.
-
That’s the weirdest thing. I’m trying to think of what would cause the game to run but crash on the SETUP screen. Some sort of corrupt files in user\config? Is the preview 3D pane box checked?

What? hear some music and speeking in the background. But can’t turn it off. Maybe it’s in the setup menu?

At the very beginning of this thread you should have listed your “Hardware” Desktop/Laptop, CPU, Motherboard, system memory (type & total), GPU type (video, internal or addon card) & model, Do you have drivers installed for that GPU? Storage devices, monitor, Joystick ect. AND Operating System.
And why did you “pointing the bms installer to the “falcon.BMS Folder”.” and not leave the installer at its default location “C:/BMS 4.32” or D:/BMS 4.32 if you had other partitions you wanted to use ???
I would suggest you delete any existing folder that Falcon was installed to (after doing a “Programs & Features” uninstall.) And start again.

OK……Some time back I had problems with my antivirus quarantining a file out of my config folder, might be worth checking.
