Falcon 4 from Steam
-
Hi all, New here. Just got Falcon 4 from Steam. Will I be able to upgrade using the BMS procedure? I dont have a physical CD of the sim, just the D/L from Steam.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
I have had Falcon 4 AF for years now and am just getting back into it. I had no issue with having to ditch AF and buy 4 once I saw the Graphics improvements!!
Cant wait to get this up and going!

Have the smallest install of Falcon 4 somewhere on your computer and leave it in the middle of spider webs.

For the Steam version, I believe you have to run it once in order for BMS to detect it.
Once you have done that, you can forget about it, but not uninstall it -
I did run it 1 time… Graphics were truly HORRIBLE!!.. That is what made me go look for updates. REALLY happy I found this forum!

THATS what I’m talking about!!!:)… Cant wait….

When you get it running I suggest installing the alternative launcher and the Jan Has models. Also the high res runways and taxi ways. You can find them in the community mods section.
Welcome to BMS!

And I’ll advise to start with zero mods, or you’ll be back with bugs report and no one will be sure it’s because of what you modded or not.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MAD!!! Had something come up at the house last night and did not get the chance to load the program…. Cough…Cough…I feel like I need a sick day…:)

Thats my plan right now…I just want to get up and running and then get into the mods… Gotta make sure all my hardware will work with it as well. I have a fairly high end machine for 2 yrs ago…:) Lets see what happens.

OK…Finally got a chance to load!!.. And WOW!!! Im REALLY liking what I am seeing…. One issue… cant drop my landing gear… Right now, it shows as mapped to “g” on my keyboard, but I hit g and nothing… Ill be the first to admit I have not looked at the manual yet but the other keyboard shortcuts seem to be working… I have an F-16 Cougar HOTAS, but have not gotten into programming anything yet…
To ALL who have made this sim possible… Hats off!!!.. AWESOME job!!!
