Ice’s Falcon BMS Profile Updated for BMS 4.37
-
Notes and Additions
If this profile is opened with a previous version of the Helios Profile Editor this will actually remove the new features from the profile file.
So make sure to update Helios to version 1.6.6090.2 or to a later version when it becomes available.Installation of keyfiles for Ice’s Updated Profile 4.37-08 for Falcon BMS 4.37 U4
- First copy the “BMS - Auto.Key” from the “C:\Bin\Keyfile” folder to the \User\Config folder overwriting the existing file. BMS should already be pre-set to use the “BMS - Auto.Key” otherwise set it accordingly.
1. If not using Alternative Launcher and not needing to change keyfile bindings:
- Add all of your HOTAS DX bindings to the end of the “BMS - Auto.Key” file.
- Leave the Helios Profile pre-set to use the “BMS - Auto.Key” in the C:\Bin\Keyfile folder.
2. If using Alternative Launcher and/or needing to change keyfile bindings:
- Run the Falcon BMS Launcher and configure all of the Axis Assignments, don’t touch the Key Mapping, and then launch Falcon BMS 4.37 U4 from it.
- If you need to change any keyfile bindings then set the Helios Profile to use the “BMS - Auto.Key” in the “Falcon BMS\User\Config” folder, otherwise leave the Profile pre-set to use the “BMS - Auto.Key” in the C:\Bin\Keyfile folder.

Superb work!
Thanks to you for sharing! -
Thats some amazing stuff right there!!! Hats off to you sir…:headb:

This is very fine stuff!
I’m a beginner with BMS, Helios etc. and i get it running.
Thank you for the very good Setup Guide!!!But, i have two question:
1. How can i activate the Front Console with Centre Display?
2. For what would i need MFDE or YAME64? Ithought that Helios would do the whole job… -
1. There is a button called CPD to activate it.
2. You don’t need MFDE or Yame with the use of Helios 1.6. Some users still prefer to use them. In the end the Display Extraction Helios uses is 95% based on the code of MFDEGesendet von meinem SM-G930F mit Tapatalk

What am I doing wrong.
Helios version is 1.6.3504.0000i have no waypoints in CPD.
Otherwise I’m very enthusiastic about the new version. Thank you

You need to update to 1.6.3504.01 as the BMS interface to read string data for NavPoints is added in the latest version not included in 1.6.3504.0

A couple of things to check. Make sure you are saving the DTC before entering 3D. The profile stpts are pulled from the DTC. Also I ran into an issue where my callsign name in the windows registry had some extra characters in it. BMS didn’t seem to care but how the current version of the profile is reading the registry it seems to cause issues. I believe linknet has updated the current version of the profile to work around the problem.

Version 1.6.3504.01 isn’t necessary, the profile works fine with the 1.6.3504.00 included with the download.

Check out @wheelchocks advice in the previous post and if that doesn’t work then download the profile again and replace the “UpdatePathNames.exe” and the “Ice’s Falcon BMS 4.35.hpf” profile file itself. Nothing else was changed.
I made a small correction on 20-03-2021 which didn’t justify a new version. If you downloaded after this date then you have the current version and no need to download again.
Just to reiterate:
1. Save the Briefing (by selecting Print)
2. Save the DTC
3. Reset the Helios profileLet me know if you are still having the issue and we can investigate further.

This is incorrect. String data has not been added to Helios. You may be looking at the history which might contain a branch where work was done to implement it but its not in a workable state

Sorry, the mistake was between my ears. Wrong order.
3 .; 1.; 2.
1. Save the Briefing (by selecting Print)
2. Save the DTC
3. Reset the Helios profile
Thanks again for the hint and your work, it’s a brilliant program. I am very happy about it.Greetings

Hello,
is it right that the switches and knobs from helios are not in the same position as in BMS at the beginning?
What can i do to synchronize the switches and knobs?Thanks!

VolkerHave you selected the correct mode from Ramp/Hot/Air Start on the System Menu? That should set them all correctly, unless I’ve missed the odd one or two.

Which System menu do you mean?

Which System menu do you mean?
The menu that opens when you select the button marked “System” on the profile front console - lower right.
