<blockquote>recenter key must be pressed every time play, it is little frustrated</blockquote><p><br />@Gear5 do you even ramp-start bro? (j/k)<br /><br />I don’t think of it as any more or less frustrating than the recenter-TrackIR key … or the recenter-Trim key.<br /><br />One final note: if your joystick config has settings for a hardware/driver deadzone, I recommend using that instead of BMS deadzone. That way it’s the same for all games/sims … and your PC will actually go to sleep when you’re away</p>

<p>i have some suggestions:</p><ol><li>capability to choose keymap file</li><li>oblique direction POV is hard to set, i.e. set POV upleft for Rotate View Upleft, but when i push POV upleft, this app detect POV up and upleft, so i have to try many times to get upleft input only.</li><li>save bakcup files to somewhere for reinstall game (.key .ini .dat .xml etc).</li><li>put a readme file inside zip, so newbie can figure out how to install, and where to dnload.</li></ol><p><br /><br /></p>

Hey @chihirobelmo
Any chance to make it compatible with 4.36? I dont want to go through all steps to set my HOTAS again without your app.

Select 4.36 in Alt Launcher 2.0?
-
@Icer it seems to be working but I read in BMS 4.36 chnagelog that the 32 buttons limit for buttons number per device had been extended to 128.
It does not seem to work with alternative launcher yet.
But on alternative launcher GitHub page, the readme screenshots are labeled 2.1.0 so …perhaps it is coming ? -
@tango4 yes 2.1.0 supports 128dx but I made some bugs while updating it so I need to fix them.
-
Thx, Chiri.
Icer, Yessir to you. I had absolutely no problem setting up my 4.36 HOTAS with 2.0, 32 dx and all.
It will be interesting how the increased dx will effect set up -
@drtbkj. The DX set up in BMS worked well- up till now. With 4.36 DX works in the UI , but in game my assignments disappear. Should I try Alternative Launcher?
-
@chihirobelmo thanks a lot, great news !

@danster . I am a big fan of AL, so I recommend it. There is one thing about AL to keep in mind. When you Launch via AL it overrides UI. So, if you set something via the UI, then launch AL, it will disappear. However, once you set things up in AL, then Launch into 3D, on subsequent Launches you can go in with the regular UI Launcher.
-
Now that my binding scheme is kinda settling, I’m wondering for future bms release if there’s a way to port my bindings, joystick assignments, without having to rebind it all?
-
@drtbkj Thank you. Sounds like I need to wait for the AL update mentioned above by Chihirobelmo and then give it a try. I’ve only heard good things about it.

I use the standard DX32 of the Warthog in AL 2.0 because I can use the “Release” function to get all switch positions to work… but I use a TARGET DX128 script for every other sim, so once you get the bugs ironed out I’ll likely switch over to “2.1.x” and I will modify the bindings. Until then it is a non-issue for me, thank you!

You’re very welcome. If you want to get in the air, 2.0 will get the job done. Like Icer wrote, the release function comes in real handy.

@drtbkj Worked well at first , but I messed something up and after vanilla re installs of BMS 4.36 and AL 2.0 received this error message: "Application Initialisation completed successfully (Exception) . Could not find a part pf the path “C/Falcon BMS 4.33 UI/Date/Terrdata/Theater definition/theatre.Ist”
So AL not working now. Any ideas?

I think there may be an issue with AL seeing 4.33 U1 being installed when it actually isn’t. I did not have your error but I did have 4.33 U1 as a choice in Alt Launcher 2.0… but it is NOT installed! I went into the Registry and did a “Find” on BMS 4.33 for the entire registry and found several instances of pointers to non-existent folders, which I deleted (also deleted the 4.34 entries I saw as I only have 4.35.3 and 4.36 installed). Likely the big offender is
“Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Benchmark Sims\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1”. No idea why this was there as 4.34 was not… but it may be your issue.Before registry “cleaning” -
