Reinstalling Issue: "The registry entry…"
-
Trying to reinstall BMS 4.33 after the Israeli Campaign seem to have bugged my installation, making it unstable to the point where the game couldn’t even open, so I deleted the folders for everything to start clean. Any other game I’ve done this with has never been an issue…so I didn’t anticipate it being a problem.
I’ve also re-downloaded F4 and the BMS files, but still no joy. There’s zero mention of BMS in my registry that I could find after I started from a clean slate. And, with the files re-downloaded, the registry editor/zip file on this thread doesn’t fix the problem.

Ok
So you have the original Falcon 4.0 installed. It doesn’t need to run but BMS needs to see its registry entries.
The “reg clean” can be run from any location, however you may need to have “Administrative rights”, to be honest I’m not 100% on that.
Then which version of the reg clean have you used ? This one ? https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?10640-Reinstalling-Issue-quot-The-registry-entry-quot&p=380550&viewfull=1#post380550

Yup, that’s the one I’m using. I get the feeling that, short of reformatting my computer, the way BMS is coded there’s no way to change the registry. Which is highly strange to me seeing that when you first run the setup it asks for a registry to look at. I’m a chemist, not a programmer, so maybe I’m just not literate enough with programming to wrap my head around this.
-
In the registry, are you looking in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Wow6432Node folder for a BMS entry?? Not sure the registry in W10 is similar to W7, which I’m on.
Just a shot in the dark.

That node had it! Good call dude! Now should I just delete it?
-
Affirmative!!! Just Delete the Benchmark Sims folder!!
Then you’ll be on your way to a new install. Good Luck.

Sorry I assumed you actually had searched the registry for “BMS”, how silly of me. :neutral:
And I’ve heard from a radar engineer (John A Malas) that for some reason chemist make good programmers.
Glad it’s sorted.

Hi,
i think that i’m in the wrong forum. but can someone plz tell me how you increes of decrees throttle power on BMS. 4.33. I cant find any key’s or keybinding to do that.

Thanks for making the thread and the registry cleaners. I tried to look under Programs and uninstall it like I do everything else but was unable to find it so I hoped the folder alone would be enough. Future reference for all the internet tough guys on the forum - BMS Falcon is an older game and has a lot of difficulties newer games don’t, and if you don’t want to lose the little community you have, don’t be jerks to people trying to understand how to play the game or make it work, the forum seems to be full of these individuals.

I’m having this issue with 4.33UI any idea on how to remove it? I need to make a fresh install.
-

Easier, quicker and less risky than hacking the registry on your own (at least for us that are less ‘registery literate’.)
