How to download 4.36 and not use torrent?
-
I have trouble understanding/using torent. I read that a direct download will eventually be offered. Any idea when? Thank you in advance. 4.36 looks very impressive.
One last ? Will I be able to copy my BMS.key file from 4.35 and use it in 4.36?

Hello,
First, don’t worry, a torrent by nature has nothing illegal (many make the shortcut to it but this is just a mean of download like any other).
BMS website recommends qbittorrent as it is with this that we created the BMS package.
Browsers like Brave offer a way to download torrents directly as well.
Did you know that the other combat sim with 3 letters is also distributed by torrent? ( Just you don’t see it because they have their own client)
About your key file, I strongly don’t recommend copy paste but maybe, copy the full key profile of 4.36 and copy the section of your joystick from your old 4.35 file.
You can also use alternative launcher…
Cheers

Thank you MaxWaldorf for your time.
I just have 18 GF modules in my cockpit setup that would require me changing the 4.36 full.key to fit my setup. Not a big deal.
So for this torrent, do I download that program first? I probably need to check on youtube how to work torrent.
will there ever be a download site like before with 4.35 U1,2,3?
Best Regards, -

Hi,
I too would like to ask this question. In my case due to my age and lack of PC skills I’m afraid. I have no knowledge or understanding of torrents and have always waited for the Direct Download links to appear.

Dram.When you download a file from a direct download, it’s served (directly) from that host, every bit and byte. The speed and cost of this download service is solely dictated by the website host serving the file.
When you use a torrent file (and torrent software) to download a file, it is served in a distributed manner from all users hosting the file as a peer. Like breaking a file into many many chunks and being able to receive the next ‘chunk’ from up to multiple sources rather than a single source. The speed and cost of this download service is then also distributed among all the peers hosting the file. There are no security implications to be worried about if you got the original torrent file from a trusted source, like here at BMS. There is also no possibility that anyone can change the contents of the file (or file chunks) downloaded and assembled into the final file by your torrent client software. It’s the smart, affordable way to distribute large files to a large audience without incurring an equally large bill for all the downloads and bandwidth used by them.

@Dram qBittorrent is super easy. Just download the app. There aren’t any adds or maleware. Install like any other program. Download the torrent from these forums. With the torrent program running, just drag and drop the torrent file into the program window. It will then ask where you want your download to be saved. Easy, breazy. After the download completes, you may then leave qBittorrent running so that now, you are part of the seeder for BMS. Look at how great being a drone is

Hi,
Thanks for the timely response. I will give it a shot…Many thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for that. Once you have DL’d the qTorrent app do you drag the 4.36 link to it without downloading it? Sorry if thats a dumb question.
Kind Regards
Dram.

@Dram No, you’ll download the torrent file from the here
https://forum.falcon-bms.com/topic/22228/falcon-bms-4-36-full-installer
It will be a super small file.
That is the one to drop into the torrent program. -

Thanks for this explaination.

TO MAX and QUASI,
SUCCESS with the torrent install. The only additional step i had to do is pay for the WINRAR use. My demo version expired.
Torrent was fast.
Thanks again -
@huffer2 don’t you dare pay another penny. Get 7zip. Completely free opens all

Hi,
Many many thanks it all worked very well. I’m a little confused by Huffer2s post though. I just DLd the update and transferred the file to QBitTorrent. After the download was completed to my desktop I merely unpacked the zip file. I didn’t need 7zip or Winrar. Am I missing something?
Kind Regards
Dram.

I used the free version of winrar doing my 4.35 updates. Win10 wanted to use winrar again, and I did not know how to change this as my default unzip. Live and learn.

Sooo about that mirror?

When I used the recommended Torrent client to d/l 4.36 it kept stopping with “hashes do not match the payload”. I kept resuming and it all seemed to work afterwards. Very strange.
I, too, am no fan of Torrents.

No… for the avoidance of doubt – Windows has had built-in support for unzipping .zip files, for decades. Just right-click and select “Extract all”.
This works ok for very large 3GB+ zip files, like BMS.
Maybe some third-party theaters or mods are distributed in rar form? that would require 7zip or WinRar or similar

Do you have a vastly outdated torrent client?
If not, I would suggest running a memory test, you might have malfunctioning RAM.
