Balkans 4.33 Update 3.5
-
This is good. Maybe you got a corrupted file.
So get the file again from here: http://www.thunderboltsvfw.com/Downloads/433/Theaters/Balkans/Balkans_Theater_4.33.3_v3.5.zip
Delete your current Balkans main folder, and then install the new downloaded one.
Check that at your folder …\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data\Terrdata\theaterdefinition you have the below line added:Add-On Balkans\Terrdata\theaterdefinition\Balkans.tdf
and then try to switch to Balkans. Exit and run BMS again.
Nikos.Will try this in the morning. Thank you.
Just tried and it worked. Now I realize I didn’t uninstall correctly. Once I ran the uninstall and ran this exe it works fine. Thank you for your help.

Nice that you have it working.
And take a look at this folder: …\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data\Add-On Balkans\Docs.
There you can find navigation stuff, the files “Balkans Navaids list.pdf” and “Balkans MAIP.pdf” ;).

after adding the hires update, I notice BMS crashes every time once I leave …
-
The hires update is just textures for the F-16 skins. Nothing else. Maybe turn to reinstall just the 3.5 update and see if the game will stop crashing

Hi, I must say that I had some problems (crash BMS) with the update 3.5 over the Balkans 3.4, so I decided to reinstall the entire Balkans 3.5 theater and since NO PROBLEM AGAIN ! Wait and see …More wait and FLY

now it works fine after reinstalling the balkan mod…I added hires mod
but I noticed one graphical bug (see the picture)
-
This happens when you have custom/modded skins in the high res objects folder with the dds file name (number) that is used in KTO for one object but with Janhas F-16 models in Balkans for another.

Hi guys, question. I got te latest Balkans installed, but i’d like tot have the HIREs as wel but im not an ICT expert but do i have to copy and past the object folder into the ‘Data\Add-On Balkans\Terrdata\objects’ ?
and completly overide the files? -
The instrument lights for the F-16AM-NO is totally messed up with pilot legs. Looks like it is the lights for a different block.
Is there any file I can edit to correct it?Edit: It is the same problem that I had with the v3.3 update here: Balkans 4.33 Update 3.3 re-uploaded
But the “Pilot fixes” file in #4 post is no longer available for download.Does anyone have this file? Please msg me.
Edit 2: I fixed the issue. I extracted the working LOD from v3.3 and replaced the LOD in v3.5. Seems to be OK now

Hey guys here is another update for you all. This one incorporates JanHas F-16 models, creates surface ALSF and MALSR lighting where needed and updates some minor stuff.
This update can go right over top of what you already have installed.
Here is the changelog for updates 3.1 to 3.5

Water tile was darker than the rest of the tiles - Removed trees from RWY 26 side of Capodichino AB. Trees were in the approach path - Looked at Pula for reported trees on the flightline and did not see any...Need more info on that - Updated Balance of Power trigger file....save0.tri....removed objective number 393 (Zagreb City). This is because Croatian forces hold it by the time the campaign is finished and the campaign continues if it is in the trigger file if NATO controls it. It still has to be captured by Allied forces though - Updated 05_23 RVR 2 Airport...was showing RWY 05L on both runways...updated the texture to 05R - Created an approach procedure for Gioia del Colle and updated the NavAids and the MAIP charts by Nikos - Updated the kneemaps by "jomla" - Added Kneemaps folder to the Docs folder....user can choose between 3 different kneemaps. - Added Taxiway sign C on Aviano Airbase RWY 23 side - Updated the stations+ils.dat file to match the updated NavAirds an MAIP charts - Changed Balkans.tdf file to say "BMS 4.33 Balkans Theater 3.1" instead of "BMS 4.33 Balkans Theater 3.0" - Re-positioned 08_26, 26_08 and 12_30 airbases to place them more on the airbase tiles - Decreased amount of trees/grass around all airbases....hopefully this will fix the ground crashes issues - Updated Balkans MAIP.pdf by Nikos - Fixed elevation issue at Practica di Mare Airbase - Updated some terrain tile on generic airbases to have a tile that fits it. 32_14 for example - Adjusted some road paths around airbases. Hopefully will keep ground units from moving through the airbase - Updated Balkans.tdf file to say version 3.2 - Removed more trees from 08_26 runways....reported "holes" at Pula and Grobnicko Polje Airports. - Removed trees from MIRIM airports.....reported trees on 08 side of Zemunik Airbase - Updated F-16 3D cockpits for MLUs, Block 40, Block 42, Block 50, Block 52 and Block 52 HAF - Updated F-16 3D cockpit textures for same blocks. The MLU and HAF F-16s now have the neon green with some white backlighting instead of the neon blue. - Fixed some terrain tiling issues around Pula and other areas. Tiles got messed up in 3.2...fixed now - Updated Balkans tdf file to say version 3.2 - [b]3.4 Updates[/b] [color] - Updated the following F-16s to the new JanHas models.....F-16CM-52, F-16 Fuel Tank and Pylons, F-16C-52+ CFT, F-16C-52+ EAF, F-16C-42, KF-16C, F-16AM RNLAF, F-16AM RNoAF, F-16AM BE, F-16AM RDAF, F-16AM RJAF, F-16CM Block 50, and F-16CM Block 40 - Fixed missing text in lcktxtrc.txt - Updated Balkans MAIP - Updated Balkans tdf file to say version 3.4 [/color][b]- 3.5 Updates[/b][color] [i]- [/i]Removed hidden trees from Aviano - Created surface ALS and updated the ALS at all photoreal airports where needed. - Moved the VORTAC station of Galatina airbase at the real position. - Deleted the double ALS at the default airport type with RWY 11/29. - Updated the NavAids and their list. - Updated Balkans tdf file to say version 3.5 [/color]
Here is the link for the update……
Balkans Update 3.5 (465 MB)
Balkans 4.33 Update 3.5 Hi-Resolution Textures (606 MB)**Note: If you choose to use the Hi Resolution Textures, make sure you install update 3.5 first, then install the textures. Balkans Update 3.5 Alternate (394 MB)**Some guys with lower end machines might experience a FPS drop that is not to their liking. If that is the case, here is an alternate Balkans 3.5 update. The only thing that is different between the 3.5 update and the 3.5 alternate update are the updated F-16 models. The alternate update does not have them installed since those are the cause of the FPS.
Please make sure you have the Same ACDATA Files Required UNCHECKED in the config editor while using the 3.5 or 3.5 alternate update.**
Sorry - but i need help… What is difference between this Balkan and Balkans 4.33 Update 3.5 from this link https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?23469-Balkans-Theater-of-Operation-for-BMS-4-33-U3 ?

Hi,
Just a little question regarding this statement:
….
Please make sure you have the Same ACDATA Files Required UNCHECKED in the config editor while using the 3.5 or 3.5 alternate update.We presume that all people flying MP with this theater, on the same server with version 3.5 installed, has the same ACDATA from the same installer….so, why uncheck the option which is there to avoid the manipulation of ACDATA files?
Maybe this means that after this installation we will not be able to fly on other theaters with people with standard ACDATA files from main installer of FalconBMS?And, another note : extracting the file Balkans 4.33 Update 3.5 Hi-Resolution Textures I obtain an executable which is marked 3.4…
I am a little confused
Thanks for your light in the dark
Kind regards
HawkThe textures will work with 3.4 and 3.5 so no need to worry there. The statement about the acdata is if some guys are using the default models from the original install…not the JanHas models. The .dat files are a little different so they will work correctly with the model

Good afternoon,
We still have the infamous “phantom hole” on taxiway Alpa at AVIANO AB, near the point A1.
Is there a fix that we missed or do we need to wait next update?
Kind regards
Hawk
