Cannot launch BMS in Win 10
-
No Cloud 9 I don’t. However, I am quite coachable if it is something you can talk me through.
-
IMHO you are all completely looking to the wrong side for troubleshooting… There should be no probs with bms install, this is a known problem of current Win10 builds, might be fixed in future, might not. The solution is to run bms in window mode. Try it and let us know.

I Have the same system and this is the answer to your problem … go to your Target GUI icon Right click with the mouse scroll down to Properties left click on it go to the Short Cut tab left click on Advanced Check the box Run as admin hit ok and run the program. Have Fun
-
Thanks guys! I have a couple 12+ hour work days this weekend but will try your suggestions this evening. Really appreciate it.
-
Got the same error message when running in windows mode and when running as admin. Guess it’s back to AF.
Should I try Compatibility Mode? -
How exactly you run it in window mode?
-
I opened Properties by R) clicking the Target and added -w, then -window, then tried -windowmode just to be on the safe side. Tried this with running the program both as admin and without. Is there another way? I also tried to change Compatibility to win 8 without success and also tried the Compatibility check from the Properties window.

The thing that I’m really kicking myself about is that I just bought this computer (Have only had it one week) specifically for this sim. I only did a cursory search but really didn’t notice any red flags with windows 10. I must have only seen positive threads. Live and learn.

Don’t beat yourself up or give up too quickly.
Falcon can be finickey to get going but, will be worth it in the end.
I’m sure you’ll get some more helpful suggestions during the week. -
In the falcon setup/graphics, is your card selected?
What screen resolution is it set to?
What is your screen resolution ? -
My screen resolution is 1920 x 1080. As for the graphics and screen resolution setting in sim don’t I have to be able to Launch the program to access that? Otherwise how do I get to it? I

I had a similar issue, I ended up installing it into C:/program files. this fixed the issue. I think I probably porked my registry in the folder. May be worth a try.

Try to reset all your audio devices (playback & recording) to default settings.
-
If you’re talking external devices I haven’t even hooked any speakers yet. If you’re talking about in sim don’t I have to successfully Launch in order to access the Setup page?
-
Sorry, miss read you initial post. I thought you could get to the set up page.
Do plug in some sort of audio device, speakers / headset.
-
Well of course I want to hear the sounds of crumpling metal at the end of the tarmac as I attempt to land! Just kidding, I’m not quite that bad but the term Sierra Hotel has never been applied either. I do have speakers and a headset. Just gotta get the sim launched first. Still haven’t even setup my Cougar, rudder pedals, or MFDs either.
-
Not a suggestion but, a trouble shooting step.
Please plug in an audio device. -
Copy that. Will have to wait til after a full work day +4 hours but wil do this evening. Thanks again for taking the time to help me.
-
Also, look in your falcon/user/logs directory and post the latest crash log here, using the “code” tags.
Might help to give a clue what’s going on.12 hour work days, yuck. Must be a hospital or public safety?

Good guess…clinical pharmacist in a hospital for 25 years now. (damn I’m getting old)
