Can't setup falcon bms 4.34
-
I downloaded Falcon 4.34 setup zip, un-zipped it to the documents file. Installed Falcon 4.0. When I try to setup the Sim I get the following message. “The registry entry points to a folder that does not contain a valid Falcon BMS install. Restore the missing files and try again or remove the registry entry (NKLM software\Benchmark Sims\Falcon BMS 4.34) to be able to install the product again. Path: C:\Falcon BMS 4.34” I don’t know how todo any of that. I don’t even know how to get into the registry. I am computer stupid and need some help. Thanks in advance.

I can try to talk you through it.
- Start regedit.exe
- click yes to the warning
- Use the tree view on the left to navigate down to
Computer -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> WOW6432Node -> Benchmark Sims
- Right-click ‘Benchmark Sims’ and select ‘Delete’
- are you sure? yes
- Close regedit, then try the install again (shouldn’t need to reboot or anything).

ps, any reason not to try 4.35? (older system not compatible with DirectX 11? or, flying MP with others who are stuck on DirectX 9 for same reason?)

That worked, 4.34 is installed. I can’t thank you enough. If you were in Iowa I’d look you up and buy you a beer or three. But it won’t launch. When I try to launch it I get the LOGO Screen and then it reverts back to the desktop. Maybe you can help me with that problem and I would be very grateful. I am using Windows 10. According to Benchmark I have all the system requirements.
About 4.35. I installed it but it only launched two times now it just reverts to the desktop. Also I could not get it on full screen, it only occupied the top left quarter of the screen. The other reason is I have printed out all the manuals etc. for .34. I have never flown any of the latest versions (the last was Allied Force) so I have a huge learning curve ahead of me. Eventually I’ll go to .35 but first I have to learn to fly the jet.
Thanks again for your help and thank you in advance for any help you can give me on the launching problem.

I’m with the same problem, i tried activate the compatibility and disabled the fullscreen optmization but didn’t worked

go into the configuration option in the loader and untick play intro movies in the general folder
that should work

I’m pretty far from Iowa but I’ll drink a beer and consider myself duly thanked!

What are your specs … Windows 10, 64-bit? CPU? Nvidia or AMD graphics, or Intel integrated graphics?
Start: DxDiag.exe
will give you a nice quick summary of that … click the ‘Display’ tab to see what directx “feature levels” your driver supports.Unless a very old (ca. 2010 or prior) system that can’t run DirectX 11 apps, I’d encourage you to jump right to 4.35… very little added complexity to learn (ie. you can raise the seat height up and down … lol) but much improved graphics, frame rate, and much added real-world detail in the KTO theater
Definitely try @Ninja’s suggestion, but also if you’re running a fairly old (ca. 2010 or prior) Intel CPU, I think they did some fixes in the U1 update that will allow it to run… but there are some workarounds to apply.

Thanks airtex2019. I tried Ninja’s suggestion it didn’t work but I thanked him for the effort.
My Specks are:
Operating System: Windows 10 home 64bit (910.0, Build 18363)
System Model: Inspiron 3650
BIOS: 3.9.0
Processor: Intel Core i5-6400 CPU @ 2.7GHZ (4 CPUs) 2.7GHZ
Memory: 12288mb RAM
DirectX Version: Direct 12
Intel HD Graphics 530I hope those specs are what you need. I want to thank you again for your time and effort, I really appreciate it.

PS- I will try to download and install 4.35 at your suggestion. I understand that .34 and .35 can exist on the on the computer at the same time.
Just downloaded and installed 4.35 but it will not launch, which is the same problem I’ve been having with 4.34.
-
Definitely report back if you’re able to get either 4.34 or 4.35 to work. And clarify, if they both crash/die in the same way (after the splash screen).
Your system is not old, by this sim’s standards. Something is not right…
Frame rate will not be good with the Intel integrated graphics, but if you turn down most of the shiny options and run at 1080p or so, I think many others here are doing that…
It’s a longshot, but I notice your Windows 10 is about a year out of date. Maybe an OS update would sort something out…? but just a crazy longshot. I have no credible reason to suspect that would be a problem.
-
Yes it crashes the same way for both .34 .35. I get the Logo screen and then it reverts to the desktop. I’ll try what you recommend.
Thanks
Dale
I updated Windows, as you expected it had no effect. Still have the launching problem on both.34 and .35.

any crashlog .txt .dmp files ?
they should be in user/logs directory
if you have them pls post them and give me the link i can check in code to see whats going on
might be a old issue if your a lower refresh rate of 60 htz try adding this to your config file
set g_bAllowAllRefreshRates 1

hard to get better personalized support than this! Very nice

Not sure I’m looking in the right place for those files. How do I get into “user/logs directory”? OK I finally found them. How do I post them and setup a link? I really am computer stupid.

It inside the Folder you installed Falcon BMS 4.35 to
