Ice’s Falcon BMS Profile Updated for BMS 4.34
-
Good afternoon to you, I confirm Helios 1.6 extracts the textures from BMS, see this video of my 100% Helios cockpit. no other software launched.
I just figured it out, I was using the viewports rather than the actual parts.
Anyway, YAME is still required for the Centre Panel moving map display unless I’m not mistaken again.
-
Yes, you still need Yame for the map, but with Wheelchock we did almost the same.
The only problem is the instruments, Helios doesn’t handle them all, but Wheelchock is working on them.It is still possible for instruments to go through MFDE just as easy to use as Yame.
A small video showing the map.
It has undergone changes since.
If you are interested contact me on Discord, via the Chanel Falcon lounge. -
ertiyu, very good!
stay safe! -
Anyone use a 17 inch touch screen or bigger? Is so, what kind? I would like to put my thrustmaster MFDs on it.

If you are interested contact me on Discord, via the Chanel Falcon lounge.That does look interesting! So I’ve posted a message on Discord in the bms-f16-support section requesting some more information.

I was looking into this profile, and I was wondering how to call up the approach maps on any airbase? I see the departure and airbase layout maps, but not the approach maps?

Hello
@malpaso thank you, but it is thanks to Derammo and Wheelhock that everything was possible, I only used the elements present in helios.
@linknet I saw your message on Discord I am responding to you today.
@ BVT_9 the approach charts are selectable when they are provided in the charts.
I chose not to put them first but they are available thanks to a button scrolling the images. -

If you had to use the Helios Reset Monitors facility this can screw up the charts section and perhaps the approach map buttons aren’t working. I’ve updated the first post download for a 1920x1080 main screen after I originally mistakenly posted it for a 1920x1200 main screen. So if this is a problem, download again and then just use a text editor to modify the profile to suit your monitor arrangement. The alterations needed are fairly straightforward and are all in the first dozen or so lines of the file.

Ice’s Falcon BMS Profile Updated for BMS 4.34
I’ve updated the download in the first post to reflect an additional Helios setting which is required.
The details are in the new Setup Guide and concern the Helios Process Control local settings which are needed to enable Helios to launch external programs.
I’ve also included Non-US Keyboard Guides for Windows 7 and Windows 10.
-
thanks linknet for the update.
so now yame is needed or not?

Absolutely necessary at the moment for the centre panel display with the moving map. So if it has to be running then it makes sense to use it for all of the extractions. I may look at using Helios in the future for a partial solution. Some of the Helios displays are much more realistic but then I actually prefer the YAME displays since they are so much easier to read.
I’ve yet to get any details of the moving map by @ertiyu using only Helios so not sure if that would be suitable or not.

there is also the posibility to run lightnings MFDE and for CPD lightnings CPD with moving map

Hi Oakdesign,
Where would I find Lightning’s CPD with moving map?
I’d love to have a stab at it
Thx!Edit: NVM, found it https://github.com/lightningviper/lightningstools

Hey, I am returning to Falcon BMS after about 5 years off due to assorted issues that kept me away. Dug out my old hardware controller setup but not all work. Was looking for the best cockpit control and saw this post which really sparked my interest. I am away from my system till next week but wanted to take advantage of some of the Black Friday Sales. Was looking at the following Monitor as some of the posts seem to indicate that this or something similar might work well.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081SGZX1X/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?smid=A1LZ6A3HMZ0ON9&psc=1 Wanted to see if anyone is using this and get an opinion.
I am not excessively techy so I also wanted to confirm that the link in the first post contains all of the necessary files and instructions to get myself up and running with the above monitor? Please let me know as I will plan on placing an order on Friday if this should all work. Thanks for all the help ahead of time!

You need a touch screen, from what I can see that is not a touch screen so would not be suitable.
All the software you need should be in the download except for any HOTAS drivers which are down to personal preference.

Thanks so much and great catch. Searched for touch screens and looked at a bunch so missed that the Asus was not a touch screen. Looks like I am gonna go with this one.

Will let you know how I make out once I have everything set up! Thanks again!

Dear Linknet,
Thanks for this nice update!
Everything is working fine; but I have one problem.
In order to see all steerpoints on the CPD60 I must copy each time the callsign.ini from BMS 4.34 to 4.33.
When I change the registry (Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Benchmark Sims\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1) basedir to c:\Falcon BMS 4.34 YAME64 stops working.
Do You have another idea?
