STEAM update to Falcon 4.0 required??
-
Gents,
My first post, so firstly, G’day!Secondly, a big thank you to all the contributors from the BMS team, including everyone who has made add-ons, etc. I have recently come across from DCS having not played Falcon 4.0 since around……when it first cam out! I am a convert with the infinitely greater depth of systems operations & weapons delivery options.
So, my question in all this? I just went to fire up BMS (have been running update 3 without issue) & I get a message “A licensed copy of F4.0 must be installed”.
When I go to Steam, the latest message says a complete reinstall is required to update fixes and provide greater system stability.
Now, it just so happens I had completed an install of the ‘Panama’ theater. Coincidence??My question; would my problem be most likely my install of the Panama update, or with Steam?
Thanks in advance guys.

Utter confusion.
Is your 4.0 install still there ?
Where did you get “Panama” from ? And where did it install too?

LOL. Sorry.
OK, got Panama from this forum. No, installed falcon 4.0 a week ago, then BMS 4.33 u_1, u_2 & u_3 and have been using fine.
Followed the install instructions that came with Panama, which did ask me to make a text addition to the ‘theater.lst’ in Falcon BMS 4.33u1\Data\Terrdata\theaterdefination folder
It’s looking more like my screw u me thinks…. -
Is Falcon 4.0 still there , can you run it?
Do you have the 108us patch? you might need it to get Falcon to run.
if not I can get it to you. Probably easyer to do it over our TS3 server (199.0.207.222 )

Open up the theater list file with notepad and add this to the bottom line and save
Add-On Panama\Terrdata\theaterdefinition\Panama - Redux.tdf

Add-On Panama\Terrdata\theaterdefinition\Panama.tdfYeah, had done this as part of the install process. That’s when it stopped booting and gave me the run error saying I needed the pay version.
Not sure I can still run Falcon 4.0, as the updates to BMS would have negated that?? -
Have you look to see that Falcon4.0 is still installed on your system, the physical folder?

Yep, the folder is there.
I did a complete computer reboot this morning and it suddenly works. Just so weird! Anyway thanks for the advice.
Not sure what the ‘breakfast’ quote means. Is hat a term for wasting someones time? Sorry guys. Appreciate the help

CheersWe kept asking if Falcon4 was still there and you seemed to avoid answering,
And it was the next morning I made that last post and I was having breakfast,
& you still hadn’t confirmed weather F4.0 was still installed.
PS I’m having breakfast again :drink:
