Ice’s Falcon BMS Profile Updated for BMS 4.37
-
@linknet Okay thanks, this makes sense. How would this be coded? For example, I think the bidding for instrument light goes from 1-3. Do I code a different shade of green for each change or is this something that Helios does? I am a visual learner so if you could point me to a video tutorial or a more thorough instruction form, I would be greatly appreciative.

@DC2slo There aren’t any tutorials for this. I suggest you open the Ice Profile and in the Panel BACKGROUND checkout the MemoryWire BACKLIGHT COLOUR and the MemoryWire BACKLIGHT OPACITY. If you follow through the inputs and outputs of these it should give you a good idea as to how the Instrument Lighting is implemented.
Following through the first output of the MemoryWire BACKLIGHT COLOUR you can then see that it sets the colour of the Panel COMBINED CONSOLE >> Rectangle BACKLIGHT COLOUR which lies beneath the Panel COMBINED CONSOLE with its transparent text.

@linknet Is it possible the +5 and -5 buttons on the HSI do +1 and -1only? Can’t find the buttons for the (E)HSI either?
-
@BVT_9 If you haven’t actioned this:
Requires “set g_nKnobAccelerationDelta 0” to be added to the Falcon_BMS.cfg file found in \User\Config.
Then, yes, the +5 and -5 buttons on the HSI will only give you +1 and -1.
Quote: Can’t find the buttons for the (E)HSI either? - Can you expand on that?
-
@linknet oh… I’m so stupid should’ve RTFMed… my apologies…
There used to be 4 invisible buttons on the eHSI that did this, no?
Thx anyway! -
@BVT_9 There are two sets of invisible buttons, one for Course and the other for Heading on the Panel HSI COURSE and Panel HSI HEADING respectively which are both found in the Panel EHSI.

@linknet I appreciate your help up to this point. I have looked at Ice’s profile v 14. I am not sure where I should be looking for this “Panel BACKGROUND” would you mind pointing me in a more specific direction?
-
@DC2slo The latest “Ice’s Falcon BMS Profile Updated for BMS 4.36” is version 4.36-04, there has never been a 14.1 version. Using the Profile Editor and in the Profile Explorer tab you can’t miss the “Panel BACKGROUND”.
-
@linknet , working perfectly with the cfg setting… thx!
-
@linknet Okay got it! Thanks a million for pointing me in the right direction. I appreciate your help!

Awesome profile, Thanks for all you do!
BalkansOFM 1.5.1. I can’t get the map to show up in CPD map? Is there a work around? It works but shows Korea map instead??
Thanks

First you need the exact theatre name as it appears in this registry key:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Benchmark Sims\Falcon BMS 4.36\curTheaterNow open the profile in the Profile Editor and in the Profile Explorer Tab open the Panel Maps which is found in:
Panel FRONT CONSOLE >> Panel CENTER PEDESTAL DISPLAY >> Panel MAPSThen unlock the Control MAPCONTROL in the Panel Maps and add the theatre name that you found earlier to the Balkans Theater Names separated by a comma and a space here:
For the Map Viewer open the Panel FRONT CONSOLE and do the same as above for the Control MAP VIEWER as shown below:

Hello @linknet, excellent profile. Have not flown in awhile and updating my rig. Looking at the “charts” in 436 compared to 435, it seems to be a big reduction. Is it due to technical or performance? If not, how can I update the profile to include desired charts? Thank you in advance.
-
@arbee The latest profile includes all of the updated and additional charts for Korea except the training range charts. A number of airbases were renamed for 4.36 which can make it appear that some have been removed. However the Balkans and Israel theatres charts are well out of date but unfortunately the latest charts for these aren’t available yet.
Can you be more specific about which charts you think are missing.

Hello,
I am reading in this forum for a while. This is my first post and I am hoping to find some help because I didn’t found my problem through the search function.
I have installed BMS 4.36 U3 and Ice’s Helios Profile with a second screen with a resolution of 1920*1080, (touchscreen). All the graphic items of the profile look fine, BUT:
I have the problem that the click/touch zones for the ICP-buttons and also all the OSB-Buttons are somewhat shifted relatively to the corresponding graphic items, so that it is not possible to use them.
Moreover it doesn’t seem that it is a fixed offset in a fixed direction, but it is different with every button.
I haven’t tried 100% of the other switches and knobs, but the ones I tried function correctly.This is as far as now the only problem with the profile, so I suppose my setup of it is generally ok.
Does someone here know the reason and/or how to solve that problem?
Best regards and thanks’s in advance!

@Markusle I bet you have one screen that is using windows scaling and the touch screen is not, am I right?
I had this same issue and found out that Helios doesn’t really recognize the different in scaling in different screens. so if that is the case with yours you will need to set all screens to the same windows scaling value.
-
@Todd1215 @Markusle
100% this! Helios doesn’t seem to like scaling and gets confused so I had to turn of scaling in my main screen as touch input would be offset once using Helios + BMS. -

Thanks @linknet. Hope I can make sense. The 2 Japan airbases? Would like to incorporate charts for Baltic for example. Will try to insert here what I have for downloaded files difference between 4.35 & 4.36.

It would appear that I’m getting ahead of myself, I’ve included all of the charts as shown by the blue folders in the image below but they’re in version 4.36-05 of the profile which hasn’t been released yet. I’ve been waiting for the developers of the Balkans and Israel 4.36 theatres to add all of the missing charts before I release it. At the moment these two theatres only include the airbase charts, which I’ve already added to the 4.36-05 profile but I’m still waiting for the ILS and TACAN charts etc. which they say that they will be adding at a later date.
