Ice’s Falcon BMS Profile Updated for BMS 4.37

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.

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.

Hi Ice, thanks for this, it’s an amazing piece of work.
I am hoping you can help me out. I’m not extracting data, gauges, displays from BMS to the Helios console. I am running Helios on the computer with Falcon BMS installed, Have the Key receiver running as well, and am using Helios from a laptop touchscreen. The inputs are working fine controlling Falcon BMS, Helios on the local computer gets all the data, gauges, and displays with no problem. Just don’t show on the remote computer. Same network, fixed IP addresses, RTT_textures set to 1, just seems I am missing something basic in the setup. If you could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. I’ve looked everywhere I can think of but can’t find any documentation on setting up helios to run across a network.Thanks,

I believe you might need something like this shared memory mirror from your main BMS PC to the laptop network location:
Desktop client-server application that mirrors the contents of Falcon’s shared memory areas to one or more remote networked PCs.

Save the Briefing and DTC after any mission changes to ensure that the data is up to date.
Just curious…In BMS’ configuration there’s an option for generating Briefings with HTML tags. Does it matter how Briefings are generated?? Or shall Briefings output be in basic text format??
Thanks,
Jolly

So, related to the question I posed in the post above, during a mission I was about to fly I clicked on the “Print” icon in the briefing screen and the game froze. Fortunately it did not CTD, but I did notice the following error message…

…any thoughts as to what this error is? (If the above image isn’t visible the try this LINK).
Cheers,
