An update on progress towards 4.33 availability
-
Hi Everyone:
First let me say that I don’t have definitive information for you all yet. However, I can tell you that discussions with the owner of Falcon 4.0 continue in what I’d cautiously label as a constructive direction. Caution mainly results from not being all the way complete in that discussion yet and hence not wanting to unduly set expectations. I know that many of you who are new to the community may be frustrated in not having immediate access. I know old timers may be exercised that we don’t have definitive information yet. I remain confident that the situation will be resolved within the apocryphal 3-4 Falcon weeks.
In the meanwhile, on behalf of the Benchmark Sims team, we appreciate continued support and patience of the community here.

Just wanted to post what has been posted a thousand times (and not relating to your update), but 4.33 has been a wonderful experience for me to get back into. I started with Falcon 4.0 in the late 90’s and have used just about every variation thereafter. I stopped about 3-4 years ago until I accidentally came upon the 4.33 announcement. Great job to all those who have made this sim so much fun to fly in. The AI improvement is huge (and that is important to me as I do SP campaigns), the level of systems is incredibly hard to grasp (seeing as I am not an Air Force Pilot!) but eventually I have improved enough to claim to be cautiously competent. Keep up the excellent work.

Sounds good. I just picked up Falcon 4.0 today on the steam sale with the intent of picking up the mod, so I’m patiently waiting.
It’s a bit of a legend in the flight sim community, so I’m looking forward to trying it out.

That it is, and yet an under appreciated one among current simmers.

Thank you for the update and keeping alive our hopes

Thanks for the update!

Thanks for the update, keep my fingers crossed!

There’s about 100 things I’ve love to say, to the new owner of the title, to gee them along. But suffice to say here on these pages, I am so eagerly awaiting BMS being available again that I’m holding off buying the title on steam - even if it is currently on sale, at the moment no BMS, no sale… I wonder if they appreciate that?

Thanks for the update, hope we can enjoy 4.33 soon. In the meanwhile I’m continue to build my homepit. Hope 4.33 is ready again when the rig is built. It’s really stupid. Falcon BMS exist now for years. I’m a real enthusiast of military flightsims, but not so the great F-16 lover. I allways liked BMS for it’s great realism but wanted to have some more aircraft to fly. Now for the first time all the planes I love are in one super great sim and now THIS!!! Hope we will see 4.33 again. DCS isn’t alternative for this outstanding sim!
P.S: Because of the superb AV-8B simulation in BMS 4.33 I added a nozzle control to my F-16 Throttle. Made the hole cockpit-controls changeable for different aircraft, so you can fly this birds with the right setup. All this for BMS 4.33, cause no other sim has such a great collection of aircrafts. Really hope we can see 4.33 again!!!

I think all we all ask is to stay updated on this. I know that can be very difficult because of NDA’s and just stuff that is legal makes it difficult
-
Ty for update, but what worries me is not the waiting, but whether or not we will be able to download BMS in the future should things take a turn for the worse. I don’t mind waiting at all
-
Get on the stick.

And what about all the great work which was done in this outstanding sim, when things go wrong. Lost for ever? Or will there be a way to transfer the sim to a new project?
What about all community based sims, if any new right holder can spoil fan made projects? There is another great sim out there, EECH Central. One of the best attack helicopter sims at the moment. This project is very close to BMS in reference to rights, in my opinion.
If things go wrong this could be the end of many fan based projects. But what is our hobby without the community based mods? Except DCS and Strike Fighters Project 2, how many modern combat flying sim are on the market these days?
I really hope things will turn out right!

wow… After all these years, I Just got back into Falcon 4 by installing BMS on 01/26… talk about the nick of time.
I’ve been absolutely spot welded to it since. I try to hit the pause key every few days to take a quick nap.I just had my first forum worthy question about the game and pulled up the board to discover the latest news.
I know we want to remain positive, but it was such an awful feeling to see the announcement and the pulled links.I was just convincing my old timer friends to go buy Falcon 4 and grab a copy of BMS. =(
-
thank you for the information … much appreciated.

Hi there,
while I appriciate the information, this thread shouldnt be sticky and if so, it should be locked at least.
If there is in fact no new update, the update-thread should not be marked as updated.Greets!
-
Hi Team,
I won’t express my feelings about this as this is no place for that. I just hope it doesn’t level down your energy and spirit to continue bringing us such an awesome product to our homes.
I definitely hope you still continue developing over BMS 4.33UxMy thoughts with you guys!
Cheers

How many times have to we suffer because somebody wish to see money from a very old game which lives because of two reasons….?
I think here the developers who do it for fun and for the communitiy for free, the 3rd party devs and of course the community. If I ever won the lottery I would buy and give it as a present to only existing dev group to eliminating any future legal issues…

this 1 go’s out to the bms crew and those guys who own falcon now…
