Ice’s Falcon BMS Profile Updated for BMS 4.37
-
That seems to have restored the Web Page for 4.35-12, can you try downloading to make sure it works.
Once I return from holiday, no date yet determined, I will be updating it for 4.36 whatever that entails.

@CriticalMass You can wait for a new Exterior lighting panel, or you can mod it yourself. It isn’t that difficult. Just replace some switches with rotary switches and add the respective key files. Piece o’ cake!
ALSO! Just of note, the canopy switch may not work with the updated keyfile binding. Specifically the switch requires to be held in the down position.
EDIT: Two switches that do not work with my edit is the Form & Aerial Refueling rotary dials, since I am “coding challenged”. I’ve tried to use the Lua script for the comm’s volume dial, editing it for the Formation lights, but to no avail so far. I’m sure the wizards of Ice’s Helios profile will be able to solve this issue.

Linknet, Icer and all…Hope you don’t mind the edit of my canopy switch fix. But for those who wish to do a ramp start with the latest 4.36 keyfiles, you will require this to close the canopy…
Cheers,

@JollyFE Yes this does work but your screen shot doesn’t show Position 3 press release callback which is the CanopyDec callback.

Thx wheelchock! Works perfectly now!

@Todd1215 Thanks Todd! I tend to overlook these minor details.

@linknet downloaded like a charm. Thanks and enjoy your holidays.

@JollyFE Since @linknet is on Holiday I’ve been hacking away at the EXT Lighting panel of his profile, also trying to get the FORM & AIREAL REFUELING to work properly. It is a complicated mechanism at best. It does require a memory wire just like the other Rotary knobs on the COMMS panel. I am still working on it and will share an XML file that you can just copy and paste into your profile when I am completed figuring it out.

@Todd1215 Standing by for further…

So… I have the updated lighting panel, canopy and com menu for JTAC working with no issues. I can send it to you guys if you want, I just dont know the best way to share the changes other than just screenshots which doesn’t seem the best way. Do you guys know what files I could share for others to get those updates? I run a hacked up version of Ice’s with several custom changes (ie - Idle Detent button as you can see in the screenshot below) so just sending the whole package probably wont work well.
My question is with the kneeboards, I am not able to get them to update using 4.36 WDP. The only thing I can think is I am missing a step in updating a path as it seems like Ice’s UpdateKneeBoards.EXE isn’t getting the updated files WDP saved. Does anyone use the kneeboards and know what I may be missing?
Also if there is a way I can share the lighting panel let me know if that will help anyone out.

I always find that the best way is to copy from one complete profile to another. So if you send the complete profile then that can be opened up side by side with the target profile and the relevant parts copied across. Another way is to copy the panel you want to share to an xml file but I’ve never found that very successful. A third way if you don’t want to share your complete profile is to copy your profile to a different name and then delete everything other than the parts you want to share, that way the shared part of the profile can be opened up side by side with the target profile and the relevant parts copied across.
For your other question it would seem that I’ve hard coded the kneeboard updater for 4.35, I’ll see if I can modify it and post a new version.
-
Here’s a temporary fix for the DataAutoUpdate.exe and the KneeboardsUpdate.exe for 4.36.
Hopefully they should work but I haven’t any means of testing.Link removed, use latest updated profile.

@linknet just tested you update and it works. What would be nice if you could define multiple BMS versions in the ini file so that you could use the profile fully against older versions and the latest and greatest BMS version. my VFW doesn’t move to the new version until its properly vetted so I end up having two version at some point side by side (install wise).
-
@Todd1215 I think you need more than just the profile as there was an image file that needed to be updated also. I hacked that together in paint. looks like I cant upload a file here. Will try and get it loaded to a fileshare and send the link.
@linknet that explains why it was still working if I updated the 4.35 directories with WDP for 4.35. I haven’t tried out with your update but sounds like it worked for Todd
@Todd1215 @linknet does this link work for you?

@linknet where do those files go? my Bin folders files are called UpdateKneeBoards not KneeBoardsUpdate

The Bin folder. You must be using a previous version, KneeboardsUpdate.exe is correct for version 4.35-12 of the profile. I’m afraid you probably need to update to 4.35-12 and then hack that as you require for it all to work.
-
@Todd1215
The problem is how do you determine in the profile which version of BMS is running?
Perhaps by accessing the running BMS running process and using it’s path, but since I can’t run BMS here it’s a no go to see if it’s possible.
Unless you have any other ideas on how to determine which version of BMS is running.
Otherwise you just need a simple cmd file to copy the relevant copies of DataAutoUpdate.exe and KneeboardsUpdate.exe to the bin folder.

@linknet I was worried you were going to say that… It was working fine with the older version in 4.35 so I never updated in the past due to key file changes and other minor additions. Will continue to use the 4.35 directory for now until I can motivate myself to update and get it all working again. The inconvenience of using the 4.35 directory isn’t worth the time to get it working on the new version… yet.
Thanks.

@zeek No problem.
