Ice’s Falcon BMS Profile Updated for BMS 4.37
-
After much fiddling (I found I had two versions of Helios running…don’t know), I uninstalled both and install the latest, again.
I still got the error! I have 4.36 and 4.37 installed and the profile selects 4.36 - I changed this to 4.37 saved immediately and got a save error, tried again and it saved OK.
Now I get quite a lot of errors when saving the profile. Basically, I’m using your profile to create an ICP only screen; so when I make a change and then save I would say 5 times out of 10 I get an error - I meant to post an image but it got late.

OK, thanks, forgot to change the on screen name to 4.37-02.The theatre is detected by reading this registry key:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Benchmark Sims\Falcon BMS 4.37\curTheater
Maybe the Alternative Launcher isn’t changing the registry key, perhaps you could check and let me know. The location of BMS shouldn’t be a problem. Try changing the theatre from BMS.

@linknet ,
Looks like it was a corrupted download. Tried it again and everything came through just fine.
Congratulations on a very fine touchscreen profile for BMS.
I absolutely love it! -
can confirm that the alternative launcher is changing Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Benchmark Sims\Falcon BMS 4.37\curTheater to “Israel” , “Korea KTO” or “Balkans”'.
Do You have another suggestion? Tnx -
@CriticalMass
Uninstalling Helios doesn’t always remove everything. Try uninstalling it and then delete the “Helios Virtual Cockpit” folder in Program Files before reinstalling. -

Edit: Found the problem, I’ll issue an update shortly.
Just checking but presumably you added the quotes and in the registry they appear without quotes.
-
@linknet yes indeed, there are no quotes in the registry key. Tomorrow i will try tot change the theater via the original launcher and let you know.

Ice’s Falcon BMS Profile Updated to 4.37-03
Updated 23 January 2023:
This is version 4.37-02 now re-released as 4.37-03 with some issues fixed.
The first post has been updated with the latest version.
Please note the requirement for BMS Falcon 4.37 and Helios Version 1.6.5800.0 or later.
Important: After installation run C:\Bin\UnblockFiles.exe to unblock all files.- Updated for BMS Falcon 4.37 and compatible with Helios version 1.6.5800.0 or later. Note: Not compatible with Helios earlier versions.
- Added a built in Web Server to allow the KneePads to be viewed in a web browser on any device connected to the local network.
- Added an UnblockFiles.exe utility to the C:\Bin folder to be run after first installation of the profile.
- This will unblock any files that have been blocked by the operating system.
- Updated the Web Page to show contents and feature instead of the change log.
- The change log is available as always in the download profile setup folder.
- Requires “set g_bExportRTTTextures 1” to be added to the “Falcon BMS User.cfg” file found in \User\Config.
- Requires “set g_nKnobAccelerationDelta 0” to be added to the “Falcon BMS User.cfg” file found in \User\Config.

Agree! Thank you.
-
@linknet works perfect! Thank You.
-
@linknet I would like to use the kneeboard images (the ones generated when we press PRINT on the briefing screen) but display them in OpenKneeboard for easier readability. Is this possible?
-
@Atlas No idea, if OpenKneeboard can display .png images then I would have thought so.
-
@linknet Where does the generated files go?
-
@Atlas C:\Bin\KneePads
-
@linknet I’m sure you meant C:\Bin\KneeBoards, however, the left and right sheets are in one image? Is there one where the left is separate from the right? Either here or on AutoKneePads?
-
@Atlas
No, I meant exactly what I said, they’re in C:\Bin\KneePads - which is created after running the profile for the first time.Same in AutoKneePads except that they’re in AutoKneePads\KneePads, again created after first run.
-
@linknet I definitely don’t have KneePads. I just ran the profile again, “printed” out the briefing, but no folder.
