BMS Key File Help
-
but how it works with the Hotas Warthog?
-
Does anybody have a quick link to a program I once saw… That lets you load a key file… And then displays a keyboard. Layout showing what’s mapped where?
I know I have it somewhere but can’t put my hands on it.Edit - Found it… Its called PS Keys… an amazing piece of work from our resident genius… Dunc! Thanks again mate…

Hey, it’s me again I finally have time to make myself a keystroke file from scratch, using the Excel generator
I got myself one of those 8-inch Windows tablets lately and a bluetooth keyboard, and turns out I can play BMS on it! Since both the number of keys and key size are a bit less I wanted to make a keystroke file more suited for it. Anyway, after a few weeks of making the keystroke file I encountered a few bugs in the Excel generator.
The ones I’ve found so far:
The Num * problem
Keyboard Flight Control Rudder Left/Right Callback are switched
HOTAS Stick Trim: Should be Hat Up/Down/Left/Right, instead of elevator up/down aileron left/right
3rd Party Software Key Name is for German Keyboard only
Set Key ComboI’ve corrected those and uploaded it here:
http://martinleehb.heliohost.org/hobbies/BMS-Keyfile-Generator%201_6.xlsI must thank Kolbe again for this great tool, now I can have a quick dogfight whenever I can sit down (and keep myself from falling asleep in lecture on some particularly tiring days )
Hi Martin:
Very nice keys editor! Need help tho…
I prefer to make a few changes to an existing keyfile layout then complete a new one from scratch. If available, appreciate it if you upload different versions of your editor already preloaded with the default BMS keys files. Uploading an version of editor preloaded with your personal keyfile would work fine too (for what appears to be flying in F4 BMS with just a keyboard).
Thanks,

Reviving this thread, in case it is needed.

guys,
please note that several callbacks have been removed or renamed.I recommend you double check your keyfiles before trying to use them on 4.33.
if possible, redo them, doesn’t take that long -

-
Yes, and all new documents to support them.
-
Excellent! Im sure it wont take long to adapt to the changes then!

Ok Kolbe Q for ya. Here are two callbacks I had assigned on 4.32.
SimNextAAWeapon 1013 0 0X1C 0 0 0 1 “Wpn-A to A cycle hardpoints”
SimNextAGWeapon 1014 0 0XE 0 0 0 1 “Wpn-A to G cycle hardpoints”Now I do see
SimNextAGWeapon -1 0 0xE 4 0 0 1 “SHORT: Next AG Weapon”
In the new keyfile but I am not seeing the AA one. Was that removed or just an oversight?
If it was an oversight is the code still in 4.33 to install the SimNextAAWeapon into the keyfile?
-
Yes, SimNextAGWeapon can still be used.
But be warned.
It will be removed in the future as it is identical to SimMissileStep, which is the correct function to use here (MSL Step button on the stick).
That it is not in the key files is fully intended. So better switch to SimMissileStep now. -
Hi, The new layout is great if you have a HOTAS, but if you use some cheap joystick like me you get to use the keyboard much much more. The problem is that i play F4 since 2000 and I’m used to the old keys. Is there any way to get the old keyboard settings.
Thanks in advance. -

Is the AG version going away as well or just the AA version? If I hafta modify the setup I’d like to do both now if they are both going away eventually.

No. Although SimNextAGWeapon as such is not existing in the real pit (controlled via MFD) it is a “user-convienence” function. This one will stay.

You can try using your old key file.
But don’t expect that this will work forever…Edit:
Forgot to quote. I’m referring to Frisina #194 -

Forgot to quote. I’m referring to Frisina #194Thanks, but I uninstalled BMS 4.32 prior installing BMS 4.33 so I don’t have the old files. I tried with keystrokes.key and laptop.key from old Falcon 4 but it didn’t work.

If you don’t have a copy of your personal key file anymore you’re screwed.
However, the old 4.32 keystrokes.key file should work.Can you exactly describe “what” does not work?

i don’t have a single file left regarding BMS 4.32. I saw the you tube BMS 4.33 video and sad to my self that it is 100 times beater, and because i don’t have allot HD space available, first I uninstalled BMS 4.32, then installed 4.33. I installed Microprose Falcon 4.0 and copied the keystrokes.key to a BMS 4.33 location but it won’t work. Anyway it is not like its the end of the world, I will learn the new keys.

Hi, in your xls file(in read me section) you are stating that you are planning to do a Saitek x55 sheet if someone provides the information. Well…i am here (i have a pretty decent x55 bms 432 keyfile) and i can provide informations.
PS is there a way to simply update my old file with new call backs?
Thanks -
The key file stuff can be found in your …/Docs/Key Files & Input/… folder.
Btw… great BMS-Training.pdf !
