[BMS Tool] Afterburner Detent Sounds
-
Oh no! Sorry for wasting your time!
I pushed a new version (0.4) which:
- Removes any mention of the Idle detent to avoid confusion
- Adds a status bar that shows the current BMS status
Don’t be sorry, it’s great that you put this out! As for the Idle Detent sound, I don’t hear anything so having that ability would not be a bad thing! Thanks again!
Edit: the new version gives an exception error again, i’ll stick with .3 for now!

I can try to diagnose issues if you can provide the log.

ive only used this thing once. it gave me an error and never used again, but after restarting my pc i found with joy that my antivirus read it as an intrusion on the executable and decided to delete Launcher.exe with result of not being able to copy\paste in the Falcon bms folder the executable taken from an installation made on another pc, and than, after a fresh new installation, more than 70gb of backup have been messed up due to the high resolution textures thing of janhas stuff. result: after a whole morning spent for nothing, im forced to uninstall everything and reinstall every single addon all over again. thanks.

Great 1st post!

Great 1st post!
Why? He just describe problem that he encountered. Antivirus programs just seem to make false positives on everything today.

I’m sorry this happened to you!
I take security seriously - you can find hashes on the download page to verify that the version you downloaded is the one I published.
And if you don’t feel comfortable running an arbitrary program from the innarwebs, you’re more than welcome to build it from source: https://github.com/mrkline/bms-burner -

Lets break it down…
ive only used this thing once. it gave me an error and never used again - what error?
but after restarting my pc i found with joy that my antivirus read it as an intrusion on the executable - The executable is “bms-burner.exe” and IF an AV caught it as a false positive, IT would be quarantined (or deleted, depends on the AV)
and decided to delete Launcher.exe - why would “Launcher.exe” be deleted because “bms-burner.exe” was flagged? It wouldn’t be…
with result of not being able to copy\paste in the Falcon bms folder the executable taken from an installation made on another pc - at this point he should have sought help to get the file “un-flagged” by the AV
and than, after a fresh new installation, more than 70gb of backup have been messed up due to the high resolution textures thing of janhas stuff. result: after a whole morning spent for nothing, im forced to uninstall everything and reinstall every single addon all over again. thanks. - blames the whole mess on mrkline, which is total BS. BMS ITSELF throws an AV error for many when you install it….So my point is don’t attack the gift horse… Mkline, THANK YOU for the program, it works perfectly for me and many others. I have modded the sounds to both be the loud click and it works flawlessly.

My point is not to attack gift horse. Problem here is with those AV programs that do they tricks and give some very little info about what they do and those can really mess up installations with older games with .exe files that they don’t recognize.

Internet security programs are, for the most part, an excellent way to damage your computer’s security.
Security in IT comes from secure operating practices, not installing some software then operating insecurely.

I agree with you (and Blu3wolf), but you asked why I said “Great 1st post” and I answered you… the gist is don’t come on here and for your 1st post take a dump on someone that is trying to contribute to our community when the fact is the problem is your own ignorance.

Don’t sweat it! Part of putting your work on the Internet is having a thick skin and trying to help folks diagnose problems you probably didn’t cause.

Hi, guys!! Any good solution for VKB NXT “could not load bms configuration from Bms/user/config” issue???

BMS Burner v0.5 is out with support for throttles that enumerate as multiple DirectX devices, grabbing the first device with axes.
Grab it here: https://github.com/mrkline/bms-burner/releases/tag/v0.5

Hi, just installed & tried it out, its pretty great!Im using a TWCS with magnetic detent on the slider, its got a deadband of ‘magnet force’ about 5mm each side of centre of magnet. Used to often pull the throttle back by feel and find 5 minutes later Im still ‘just’ in AB so the sound helps a lot.
If I could make one suggestion for future versions - could the visual overlay be undocked from the corners?
Id probably set it up real small about 1/4 way in, or as a tiny dot kind of in the corner of the HMCS display, if the option was available, to keep it unobtrusive but still visible.My thoughts, the sound and a tiny indicator is OK for immersion, compared with accidentally burning 1/2 my fuel and forcing RTB, so Im pretty happy with it.

I removed the clunky detent from my TM Cougar throttle a long time ago when simming with props. Now back into BMS I missed having some sort of audible feedback for the afterburner. I could reinstall the detent, but the sound always grated on me.
The subtle click in my headphones generated by your application is perfect. Thank you for sharing your file.

Hi Mrkline,
First of all: great idea and tool. Many thanks!
I found some issue and so asking your help. in particular he doesn’t recognize my throttle. I have a thrustmaster TWCS.
Following below the log outcome. Many thanks again for your help!!

@gundam I recently switched to a TM Warthog and had to remove my previously used TM T16k line from “User\Config\DeviceSorting.txt” for BMS-Burner to work, try doing that. You can find the ID list of supported hardware in “User\Config\DeviceDefaults.txt”.
