Good morning (oh well, since almost an hour ago :D), gentlemen of Ikaros theather dev. team.
All of us appreciated a lot what you’ve made, it’s wonderful so installed as soon as it was possible. But now, after BMS 4.33 released, it would be nice, I guess, to learn directly from you if your theather is compatible with it, or if you are planning to update it in the next future… fair for us, and the same for you too, isn’t it?
With best regards,

Guys as I know and this is personal info and not development team info.
The development of Ikaros is stopped.
I don’t know if there will be any 4.33 update. This is in the hands of Kouritis the initial and almost the only developer of this theater.
What I know is that Kouritis is really busy this period of time in a godsend task which is in a way in higher priority for him.I wish him all the best in his task and happiness in his personal life.
I believe this answers your questions.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that someone can test the theater in 4.33. I believe it’s just a copy paste and the line in the theater definition file and tell us if it works.

Extract and put the Add-On Ikaros file to C:\Falcon BMS 4.33\Data
you must have the Ikaros file like this –> C:\Falcon BMS 4.33\Data\Add-On Ikaros -
Put with notepad in file “theater.lst” the line Add-On Ikaros\Terrdata\theaterdefinition\Ikaros.tdf
you can find file-- theater.lst – in C:\Falcon BMS 4.33\Data\Terrdata\theaterdefinition
IIRC Kouritis declared and areas and maybe autogen trees will work.

Thanks a lot, Arty, for your kindness and all the full informations too.
I would thank also Kouritis because all what told you. And I want to promit that I’ll try to install the theather in 4.33 following your directives with a little of free time - even harder every day by day, bah.
In short: I’ll let you know further, but please don’t ask me when, let me have some time to do things just as they deserve to be done.Best regards,

I tried the same thing with Aegean 1.6 (adding the theater definition file), and while I could enter “instant action”, BMS crashed when trying to ramp-start from my usual hangout (Souda / Crete). Many of the buildings were missing so I don’t have high hopes that IKAROS will fare much better in this regard when it comes to 4.33 compatibility.
All the best, Uwe

All I know is that Kouritis posted some pics of Ikaros in 4.33 on e-HAF Facebook page. With no details on it. It might have been just an Instant action as hoover says.
I don’t know what exactly is needed to port the theater from 4.32 to 4.33 but if it needs the 3d database to be updated with all the models that where imported in 4.32 version this will be a HUGE task to perform as many was my work from the past and many where from Kouritis and others.
For my work to get it done it’s a no go as I don’t have the time and energy to do so… also not quite sure if I have the files and log of changes. Many were done on the fly, on sleepless nights and days…
As I see it the theater needs to be done from the state where terrain is ready and start work on a new stock 4.33 database. This would take about half or one year??? Don’t really know… but as I told, only if Kouritis is working on it.

Dear Arty,
do you mean this?
If so, I succeeded - with the v 2.2, of course. Just a first glimpse, I had no time to test more now, sorry for that.
But, about the tree autogen feature, please give a look here:Seeking for Tornados now.
If they aren’t, this theather is a “no go” - JK :lol:With best regards, to Kouritis too of course,
-
Ah, yes, I almost forgot this, guys… the stock TEs which came embedded didn’t work and caused a CTD when launched.
So I made a pair on my own from scratch… nothing bad to report until now, from that I could argue that there is nothing wrong with your theater’s DB.Best regards,
-
I could get this theatre to work, but most default non BMS 4.33 models like the F-16C52+ will crash, so I chose other planes to fly like the default F-16CJs.
Some working planes like the dual seat F-16CJ had messed up cockpits.
Also many airbases were covered in forest, rest was working. So it can be used, but is not functional as in bugfree.Cheers
Thorsten
…method:
Copy and paste entire theatre into Data folder and add Theatre.IST string, lines.
No guarantee.All the best to Kouritis!

Hi,
I downloaded it tonight and made a test flight. Goodwork :bdance:
Two things I discovered.1. Distance markers on kaklic ab is on the runway.
2. Types of Turkish Aircraft are not including new version that TurAF has.
Will add more if I discover. -
Very soon we hope to release Ikaros 4 that will be 2.2 compatible and will include almost EVERYTHINK
I can tell you that Ikaros dev team is on fire and soon falcon comunity will be able to fly on a very good theater.
-
Waiting with patience.
Looking forward to fly over Aegean again. -
Same here… an U2 compatible version would make my holidays (in combination with the JetSeat I ordered from Andrey last week :D)
Cheers & keep up the good work!
