Hello, wow I had no clue this game was still being updated by the community!!!!
-
So, I was out there looking around trying to find a flight sim to play, and here and behold was this update to my favorite flight sim of all time. I have installed 4.35.0 with the base setup. I see there are updates 4.35.1 through 4.35.3. I have not been able to get them to work. Every time I click to download them they extract from the zip folder as a notepad file and not an executable. When I try to run the setup again it does not find the files to install the updates. I am also wondering if I need to install the previous updates prior to 4.35?

@frumpy708 did you try with a torrent client?

@maxwaldorf I have not yet.

Welcome to the party!!

@quasi_stellar Thanks, now if i can just get everything installed I will be happy. Where do I locate the different theaters here.
-
@frumpy708 all the theaters are located in the Theater Discussion forum. Here is a well kept up list to help you out.

Good luck!! This ain’t your uncle’s Falcon4 -
@maxwaldorf Thanks this has worked for me. I have all three updates installed and now have the Aegean Theater installed. Thanks for helping a noob out. I have also added the suggested fix for the ATC issue as recommended.

@quasi_stellar It is not, can’t wait to get up and flying. I just need to figure out how to get all the pretty graphics going. I do not have a gamming computer, but I do have a decent PC that has hardware above the recommended minimum. I think I will also be upgrading my Flightstick to the Hotas or another newer flight combo.

@frumpy708 A couple of thoughts, so take with a grain to salt. Look at the Atlernative Launcher as a way to bind your stick… https://forum.falcon-bms.com/topic/10789/falcon-bms-alternative-launcher-easy-setup-keep-joystick-assignments
Check in the Docs folder of BMS for all of the manuals. Again, this isn’t Falcon 4.0, Allied Force, or any of the other versions that preceded BMS. This is now a true study sim, and your enjoyment is proportional to how much you want it… The learning curve is vertical. If you need some real time help of any kind, feel free to search out the Falcon Lounge on Discord (Link in my sig). All are welcome. Stay frosty and have fun. -
@quasi_stellar Thanks a ton. One last question. I see updates that people have added to their cockpit skin. Is there a specific one the is recommended. I see popular seems to be the Helios, but I do not see installation files for it.

@frumpy708 there isn’t much to add to the increase in graphics above and beyond the default work done by the developers. We just got an upgrade to Dx11 so new goodies are sure to come. A new terrain is in the works, probably 4.37 or later. So don’t hold your breath. Dema has some better texture mods for Block 50 pits and a plethora of skins for different blocks that are 4.35 compatible. Check out the skins forums section. I’ve never used Helios, but it’s an app to export cockpit gauges/screens/switches to an external screen. I believe for touch screens. I would advise getting familiar with the office your setting in before making the jump to the next tier stuff. Here’s my current setup. But only after some serious homework
