Have to unplug DirectX devices to get BMS to run? feedback requested
-
andre_a330 that was exactly what was needed. Thank you.
This is indeed a bug in BMS, having too many analogue axis devices will make BMS crash.
We will try to get this fixed as soon as possible, hopefully for the next update.Background info: if DX devices have only buttons, the limit is no problem. But if DX devices have analogue axis and you add more than BMS supports, we get an array overflow, leading to the CTD seen here. Currently 12 devices with analogue axis is OK. If you have more, BMS will crash.
Darkman, that’s verified on my setup as well. 4.33 starts up fine if I remove my rudder pedals and volume controls (Bodnar BUO836 analog connections)

Understood. Our resident DX meister is confident it’ll be sorted in the next update, so just work within the 12 analogue axis limit until then.

I’ll get my wheel pedals back? Yeeeeaaaaaaa….

Is it ready yet? :rofl:

Same problem here, too. Thanks for this thread- now I know why my Falcon 4.33 was running in the beginning, but stopped working. I added two more DX Devices! When I disconnect them, Falcon 4.33 works again! No problem for Falcon 4.32 with ALL
devices connected….
Do you still need Log files, or are you OK with what you got??? -
No need for further log files, thank you. Just wait for updated code in the next update, when you should be able to plug everything back in.

Hi Darkman,
thanks a lot for your reply- 4.32 still is great, but what I can see from 4.33 on youtube seems to be absolutely incredible! So no problem to wait a bit longer. I will start trying with a little bit reduced setup (I´m using a USB Hub, where I easily can switch on and off some devices)
and wait till the problem is solved! Thanks again for your incredible work, makes (together with the DCS guys) all my “Cockpit dreams” come true -
Look for older librares for direct X 9.0 or 9.0 C http://https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?25203-BMS-4-33-AND-WIN-8-PROBLEMS

Hi Grooz,
sorry for the late reply, just saw your answer, yet. But the link is not working on my PC- and I´m using Win7. Really seems to be a matter of how many DX devices someone is running. When I reduce them, I think to nine or ten, (not quite sure how many exactely) Falcon runs great, if I add only one more,
it imediately stops working. Hope the next patch will solve this problem. Thanks a lot all of you for your help…. -
I added another joystick interface card and BMS stopped working. I hope they fix this

Did this get fixed in the latest update?
