Pillars of Hercules Theater Beta 0.8.0 RELEASED
-
I downloaded and installed PoH 0.8.0 with no issues. Then I started BMS, changed to the Iberia Theater, then restarted BMS.
Although I could hear the music, and hear my mouse icon when it moved over certain areas of the screen, all I could see was a totally black screen.
I even managed to quit the program by hovering the mouse in the upper right corner and clicking twice to exit BMS.
Tried starting again, same result.
I rarely get performance issues with BMS on this computer, and there’s nothing unusual about my hardware.
I suspect that there might be an issue with me running BMS @ 4096x2160 on a 4k UHD monitor, only because that’s the only thing that separates my rig from most others.
Just FYI. I had to uninstall PoH so I could get a workable screen again w/ Korea KTO.
Hello there.
Well this is a known issue with AMD graphics cards and some 3rd party theaters, POH included.
So simply make a good uninstallation of your current driver and then install the AMD Crimson driver v17.7.1. Then you will be just fine with all the theaters ;).
Until now, any later from v17.7.1 AMD driver in windows 7 gives this annoying issue.

thanks BlackWolf for the help, worked on it all night, downloaded, unzipt,followed prompting from the different screens, accordingly I was informed that the theater installed successfully ……but…no theater… I just cant dance the Falcon dance!!!
-
would any of you gents be so kind to point me to where I can find instructions ( as if I were capable of following them with success ) as to how I can install this master piece ? Thanks
One click install you don’t need anymore than click next-next-next

I was almost to say the same…
Well done once again, dear friend Joe and all your amazing team.
I won’t miss the chance to create some custom TE, and then post them even in a more proper topic, if you wouldn’t dislike this idea too much of course.
Just a little suggestion: could it be possible, I don’t say just right now, get also all the new hi-res textures embedded in one zipped file and by torrent?
Dropbox seems to be unreachable, and those 4shared limitations terribly annoying, you see.Well, this said… my best compliments to all of you. Just can’t await to see what else good is coming when your campaign will be released… in three or four Falcon seconds, I guess :lol:
We wait your TE very happy. All of us will enjoy them!
Maybe this weekend we’ll create the texture pack torrent for the community

Hello there.
Well let’s make it manually for you…
Since you have downloaded the files, you have extracted them, right?
That means that you have in a temporary folder the below files into the folder “INSTALLER”:
Data.7z
Pillars of Hercules 0.8.0.0.exeNow open the “Data.7z” with 7zip or Winrar program and extract the included folders/files somewhere.
You will have a new folder named “POH0.8.0.0”. Rename this folder exactly to this: “Add-on Iberia”. Now move this folder (means this “Add-on Iberia”) into here: …\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data, so finally it will be exactly this one: …\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data\Add-on Iberia.
Last go here to this file: …\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data\Terrdata\theaterdefinition\theater.lst, and open it (the file “theater.lst”) with the “Notepad” program of windows.
Add at the bottom this exact line like below:Add-on Iberia\Theaterdefinition\Iberia.tdf
From “Notepad” click to “Save” and then exit from it.
Done. Now you can see the POH theater into Theaters section of BMS and can choose it ;).

Haha, hey Tommy my good friend,
Don’t forget my invitation… :drink: :blowpar:

Hi, first of all thanks for the great work! After I installed it and switched from KTO to POH, it ended up in a black screen. I tried restarting BMS, but now I’m stuck at the splash screen from BMS.
Anyone an idea? How can I reset BMS to the default theatre. Is there a config file I can edit.

You have a possible solution from Nikos above

Wow…landing at Gibraltar reminds me of LaGuardia in my PMDG NGX…you’d better get on the brakes fast or you’re swimming.

Hey Joe!
Well done, congratulations to the whole POH team.
Cheers
EGHiEghi !!! I missed t post …
je, je … You opened the Pandora’s box of the creation of the 100% photorealistic airports when you started the work with Gibraltar.
Gibraltar was not a random choice, it is not an airport like the others and it has peculiarities that pose an added difficulty … an airport without taxiways to access the runway, surrounded by the ocean, … Gibraltar was a challenge … Our friend Nuno Santos (with the help of Blackwolf) took over and your airport as a reference, as the way forward … and your help and expert advice were of extraordinary value.
There is a phrase that I like to say that says: “Start making the” work more difficult “, and the” impossible work “will only take you a little more time”.
That is the meaning that Gibraltar has for me.
Thank you very much, Eghi.
