Basic Install
-
@Atlas anyway the key point is the new-hotness installer includes an ‘Updater.exe’ which presumably fetches incremental bits, without having to download entire 5Gb each time

Hallo all,
after days of reading and flying I have 2 questions:
The first Legacy-Installation I have uninstalled with Revo uninstaller and CCleaner. Then I have done it new with “full setup.exe”, so I have the Updater.Now my 2 questions, for which I haven’t found answers / solutions (maybe I have overlooked them in the Readme-files, then Sorry!):
A) In the Tactical Engagement I have seen, that some missions are not flyable (the “take off-button” doesn’t work). These missions are Formations, Tac_Turns, HARTS, AAR, Failures, IR Intercept, Barcap, Guns, Harpoon, 22Osan._Daegu, JTAC. Is it normal?B) The Default-kneeboard: I open it with Alt + C, then P. I see the kneeboard, but the right kneeboard is blank over all 16 pages. Only one sentence I can read on the first page: “intentionally left blank.” Is it normal or must I do something with the files 7982-97 in KoreaObj?
Thanks for answer!

@SledDog01 both normal
for (A) you sometimes have to click the dropdown next to the clock, to start it. it’s a weird old bug or quirk with F4 code
for (B) it leaves space for tools like WDP to generate mission-specific kneeboards
-
@SledDog01 or even A) you need to select the correct flight first!! Like in AAR, there’s a lot of flights and the first one listed is Package 2028 and is a Hornet flight.

@Atlas and @airtex2019 ,
Aha, now it’s clear. Thanks! -
I believe, this is the last question with relation to Installation:
Which files must I copy to save the settings and campaign-data, before I install BMS new?Greetings!
-
@SledDog01
just backup everything in your\Falcon BMS 4.36\User\Config
folder … at least the stuff in there with timestamp Oct 2022 or laterbut for restoring your data on a new fresh install… just your key file, your cfg files, and your various {PilotCallsign}.* files

@airtex2019 ,
okay, THANKS for answer and nice weekend! -
Hallo all,
I have 4.36.3 and now I must ask again (sorry!):
1: My updater from 4.36 says, “4.36.3 has been installed, no new updates are available”. Does it function only with 4.36?2: Then I have downloaded the “BMS Downloader” and now I have the “FalconBMS_4.37_Full_Setup”. Is 4.37 a complete new installation and is it necessary to uninstall 4.36 at first or can I overwrite 4.36 with 4.37?
Thanks and Greetings!

Completely new and a totally separate installation.
