Heads UP guys
Thanx to Ramsay we seem to solved the above mentioned problem where it showed both Israel On and Israel Off ticked when u only apply one of them.
Download file is ready in first post. Just in case please first unapply what ever u have and then erase the folder Arty inside the folder
C:\Falcon BMS 4.32\User\Patches
than extract the new compressed file pointing to C:\ or your falcon install drive letter.
Thanx for your patience please report back any errors or mishaps. I hope there aren’t any… lol cause all this fuss with the files gave me a headache… I’m an oldfart afterall… and to reverse that oldfarts - newbies = 1-0 LOL… :rofl:
And some proof for the above score:

BMS Arty Flare Mod:

Hi Arty, tried to install this and F4 patch says I have a file mismatch with the particlesys .ini file. Any idea what could do this? I have installed the tracer mod by Maxpower, would this conflict?
Cheers, Mark

YEP!

the virgin (definitely not virgin by me… :rofl: ) copy of the file is inside the patch. U just have to expand the package and in there in the folders u will find the particle.sys.orig this is the original ini file. Take care cause there are two of them. one is the stock BMS file and one is the IT-BMS one. they are on separate folders.
But sure Ram’s file is the easiest way.
And once again Backup Falcon at crucial points. Like clean install… Using RAR takes about 2GB for the full version with theaters on… I have: Aegean / IT-BMS / Sinai and it all ends to about 6GB of rar.
So having some backups goes to 10 GB’s not much of a big deal… -
Thanks Ram, will snag it later when I get in from work……best , Mark

No problem. Seems you weren’t the only one who needed it. It’s been downloaded 7 times.

No u don’t make an error.
u have your particle system file altered… this is why u get that. prolly the same problem I fased… also have in mind if u have Israel or Sinai u might have fubared this also as far as the FM files… -
Heads Up guys this mod ain’t Update 4 compatible…
I also updated the first post on this thread.
Stay tuned a compatible version will come out, soon I hope…

So now I have to ask, is this Update 5 or 6 compatible?
-
yes it is all the way.
-
just for reference and how round the flare is…
As u see clearly NOT round At All…

Arty, I have only one thing to tell you, ever since I started messing with PS, since the happy days of RV until today where from time to time I still get the bug to change this or improve that, all I can tell is that there is absolutely no way to be “right” or “wrong”
The same effect in RL can be in one case totally different than another, same bomb explosion in same area, or same “simple” flare effect can look SO different that you wouldn’t believe. For every picture of such rectangular shaped flare, I can give you a dozen with round flares, I can give you another dozen with “long” flare and a dozen with short flare, some with sparks, some hardly with any light, and some with light almost like a small sun.
In one sentence, you will never find the “perfect” thing. So what we have is what we think is best to be in the sim. No right or wrong, I bet if anyone here would have thought of each effect, we could build a million versions of the PS.ini, any would look different than the other, and all would be correct
