Installation
-
I need a complete installation guide for the three incremental modules U1,U2 U3 please.
Also there’s the issue with the original versions of Falcon 4 which BMS requires.You can’t install any of these under the new Windows OS’s like 8.1 and 10.
I seem to have read somwhere that you don’t need an Falcon 4 installation folder but only need to have the installation disc present in the drive with the .exe file.
Is that correct?thanks.

Installation guide is in the Installation chapter of the BMS-Manual, which you can download from here if you haven’t already (it’s in the Docs folder when you do install).
You can install Falcon 4.0 in 8.1 and 10. Plenty of threads and posts with guidance on this if you search the forum, some very recent.
I suggest you read the Installation chapter referenced above for the latest advice and guidance.

I’ve made one which you can find here.

False. I’ve installed both the GoG version and directly from the disc onto Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows 10 Anniversary Edition, and Windows 10 Creators Update.
I seem to have read somwhere that you don’t need an Falcon 4 installation folder but only need to have the installation disc present in the drive with the .exe file.
Is that correct?This was correct as of 4.32. No longer the case in 4.33.
Hope that helps!

question about the bms 4.33 installation files.the U1 file is supposed to be a .setup.zip file,but the file you can download from the link is called .torrent.Also it’s only about 15 kb large.What to do here?Do I simply rename the file or what?
Thanks.

Hi Ice.
Hate to a pain in the %&* but I have to ask for more assistance.I read both your install guide and the installation part in the manual but I still need to know where to get the files.I understand that it’s files you download via torrent
but how do you do that.
Sorry to keep bothering you and hoping you don’t think of me as a retard.:wfish:
By the way,I just got the original Microprose Falcon 4.0 used on Ebay.Amazingly it runs without a glitch on my Windows 8.1 -
I still need to know where to get the files.

The files you need are obtained with the assistance of a download manger for use with torrents. BitTorrent is a communications protocol of peer-to-peer file sharing. Torrents are small information files that the “torrent program” uses to request those files from others that have already acquired them and are now sharing them with others. A very safe and efficient way to distribute data.This is the one I use https://www.qbittorrent.org/ After installing the manager then when you click on the torrent file on this or any site you will be able to “open with” the torrent manager you installed.
Good Luck

olevolsing: when you start the launcher, don’t you get the Platform Selection options in the UR? >32 bit >64 bit? I, just like the vast majority of the users here, run it under 64 bit OS.
