Cannot launch BMS in Win 10
-
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)

Please plug in an audio device.Un-f-ing believable!! Badger, if you can tell me how you thought that would help I’ll say your a genius. Until then I’m gonna have to guess lucky. I came home from work and plugged in an old set of speakers just for the H of it and the sim launched on the first try. Sadly I’m afraid to move any of the wires now that I know it is that finicky! How did that do anything?
The important thing is that it did and I was able to go into the setup, verify my graphics card, resolution settings, and setup my Cougar. Now it’s time to fly!
I expect something else to go wrong at any time but I know there is a great community willing to help me out. Thank you all so much. -
Happy to hear that it’s running for you.
Let the journey and the fun begin. -
Resetting your audio devices as I also proposed would do the same result. It is a bug of current; Win10, the audio service gets tighten and stucked to a (any) previous “request” (playing a video file or listening music), and prevents another program from using the audio services.

Happy days.

That makes much more sense now. Seemed so strange that just plugging a speaker would solve the problem. I really appreciate everyone’s willingness to help. This is clearly a great community. Thanks Raptor!

I have never been able to get Falcon BMS 4.33 to work. It never ran on Windows 8.1 and it did not run even after I upgraded to Windows 10. I am using BMS 4.33 U1 (even the earlier version did not run). What I mean by “did not run/not work” is that after I bring up the launch screen and click on the “Commit” button, the screen just freezes. I have to hit Ctrl-Alt-Del to exit out of the screen and then I get the dialog box that “Falcon BMS has stopped working”. I do have the Crash log files, and if you can tell me how to upload them and where I will do that (it is quite long to paste here I think).
Kodakrx, can you elaborate on “Reset your audio device”? How do you reset your audio devices?
Thanks…

Actually Rajesh I don’t really know what that entails. As for my situation I simply plugged in a cheap set of speakers to the computer’s headphone jack and everything worked flawlessly thereafter. Sorry I can’t be of more help.

I don’t know if that still works, but disabling the intro movie also sometimes helps with startup crashes and / or black screens.
