Balkans Theater of Operation for BMS 4.33 U5

Hey guys,
I had to download the newest version on the First post (3.5) as I don’t have an earlier version handy to upgrade.
I’d like to ditch janhans cockpits to save some fps like in the 3.5 update alternate download that doesn’t include them.
How can I do this? There is no alternative download for 3.5 without the cockpit textures on the first post and I can’t find a 3.0/3.1 download anywhere to use that to upgrade…
Any help would be appreciated.
The alternate 3.5 only removes the F-16 3D models. There are no update cockpits

Do I just install the alternate over the main 3.5?
I didn’t think that would remove anything :S -
Yes. It will overwrite everything again. The KoreaObj.LOD, KoreaObj.HDR and some textures are what get updated.

Hi,
Can someone explain what am I seeing here… Bermuda triangle some 60-100nmi south coast directly from Sigonella.
Looks like a fog , but it can’t be entered to the east , always in front… but you can enter into south barrier … strange anomaly, it completely covers the sea.
… can’t figure it out , is it something with weather - already tried changing fmap, no effect ,
or gfx / options (tried whole sort of things, same).Anyone, please?

Looks to me you are on the edge of the (theater) map……

Running Balkans 3.5 alternate here.
Yes, that’s what I thought at first , but then it happened in all subsequent flights , different TE’s, even newly created ones., but this time over mainland (Croatia - Zagreb - Pleso AB) , … so, it’s not The end of the world (map) …lol
Bugged tiles seems in 8x8 km square , grey wall all around , so it must be something with tiles … but what , I haven’t touch anything what would cause this (else then configuration file) ,… all by itself.… later … found out that I can’t change theater anymore after restart, BMS not updating registry entry after theatre change (if exe not ran as Admin) … it didn’t do that before
Something went to sh*** … with system wide and/or BMS.
I fell like dancing again … so gonna treat myself with one fine reinstall. We’ll see…

It is certainly not “Just a graphics glitch” …. It’s fracking serious error/(bug?) … and I’m freaking puzzled what’s happening. , I’ve compared 44GB of files with defaults , and nothing
is wrong … but it is wrong… you tell meIt is the end of this install , I’m afraid.
-
Forget about all… MY FRACKIN’ BAD … it really is “The end of the world (map)” in both cases… Ah… need some sleep , pronto,… Sorry guys.
Cheers

Installed this campaign. After loading the campaign from the campaign selection screen, my screen goes black at the main UI screen. Still get the audio indication that the buttons are there but the screen is completely black. Exited out of the program by clicking twice in the upper right of my black screen and re-started, same problem. Enabled windowed mode and the intro screen (with Falcon BMS and copyrights) and then the screen either goes black like in full screen or stays on the intro screen. At this point I can’t even get back in to the campaign screen to switch back to KTO, so if I can’t fix this my install is hosed.
Thanks for any help.

Hello there.
Well do you know to handle the registry editor of windows?
If yes, then go to the below key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Benchmark Sims\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1
and at the string “curTheater”, change its Value data to “Korea KTO” and click to “OK”.
This will set as current theater the default Korea. So you should be able to run again BMS.Be cautious! IF you don’t know to use registry editor of windows, DO NOT touch it! You may harm your windows!
P.S. The key is from windows 7 x64. If you have a different OS, may vary a little.

Thanks I’ll give that a try next time. I ended up fixing it by copying the KTO line in theater.lst over the Balkins theater line. That caused the game to be fooled in to thinking I was in the KTO. Good to know where the campaign selection is stored. I do run W7x64.
Is this ‘black screen’ issue common? I would like to use the Balkans Theater at some point. It’s almost like it’s trying to load a 2D UI graphic that my system doesn’t like. I tried commenting out (with #'s) some lines in the Balkans.tdf so the game just used default directories, but no luck so far.

A good guess is the graphics driver.
At AMD side, with the latest 3 drivers (17.7.2, 17.8.1 and 17.8.2) you can have this issue at some theaters, Balkans included.
So if you have an AMD graphics card, try the 17.7.1 that I also use with an RX 460 ;).
