Done ^ thanks
This might be a Display/Video card/Resolution issue.
Add the switch -nomovie to your shortcut target path like so: ‘E:\Falcon BMS 4.32\bin\x86\Falcon BMS.exe -nomovie’
Then go into your E:\Falcon BMS 4.32\User\Config folder and delete the dx9display file. It will re-generate on your next launch.

Scenario: Balance of Power
Issue: Many Airbases are named wrong.
A few examples:
Cerklje (Slovenia) –> now located near Rome
Aviano (Italy) --> now located in Slovenia
Zagreb (Croatia) --> now located at the Dalmatian coast
Osijek (Croatia) --> now located where Tivat should be
Shkoder (Albania) --> now located in Serbia
…This is only in Balance of Power, in Powderkeg and Under Siege they are labelled correctly. Could it be because I installed Update 3 after I installed Balkans (and the Hotfix)? But the wrong names where confirmed to me by my Wingmates.
Cheers

AlohirWe have it under control. Yes, we’re aware. Until it gets corrected in the future just fly it the way it is if you wish.

Hi Guys
I can’t open the scenario Balkan on my server. Whenever I select a few seconds later my simulator crashes. The operating system is Windows Server 2008 with ATI 4500 graphic card and I have no problem with all the other scenarios. I also tried to uninstall everything and reinstall the scenario with the hotfix 1 but nothing. I attach my logfile.
Regards

what could be the cause? -

Hi Dema.

There is a bug with A-10. It’s left aileron is positioned all the way down. Only when you move your stick full right it levels, but then the right aileron is down. No such bug with A-10 in Korea. Any clue?

We are flying from Gioia del Colle and experiencing this bug repeatedly. It happens when we take the right side of the taxiway. Left side is working OK. 16L B gate.
Perhaps base model is not correct, it seems texture is not perfect.Edit: OK, I’ve found that RAM22 addressed this question here, but AFAIK this fix is not included in the official Download Links post, so the problem remains for all the people that as me are trying to fly from Gioia over standard files (original + hotfix1)

Hi there my friend.
Well try this later update of 30-7-12 and apply it over your installation of Balkans + Hotfix1 ;). Instructions included.

And i see that you like Gioia del Colle, so maybe you need this:
Get it as also and other 15 IAP charts for Balkans from here at post #1: https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?12435-Balkans-Theatre-IAP-charts
Report back if you are o.k. after that update.

Thank you, neystratiou. The file you posted is the same I pointed to, and it is working too. The problem in Gioia is gone. But the problem, as I see it, is that people that want to install Balkans is only aware of the base install + hotfix1. I think it is needed to modify the download post to reflect the new fix. That could be 3 to 4 minutes. Or else, release a new balkans version, but that could be 3 to 4 falcon weeks… and that’s OK.

Hi Im not sure if this is the right place to post this bug but it has happend to me twice today and both in Balkans with F-16As NL
Basicly first today, my wingman(2) ejected some seconds prior to crashing into me as I was of on the right wingtip of the tanker (KC-135) and thereafter blowing us all up.
I blamed the poor AIs rookie setting and generall AI incompetence (not used to refueling with them in multiplayer)But later we are flying a 4 ship and 3 of us in formation and the last guy off at a tanker.
out of nowhere I blow up infront of the others(as they say)
This time I get tranfered directly to FLY-BY CAM.
when I exit out it says I collieded with a Yougslavian MiG-21Mbis and that I downed it.
There were no Spikes, just got clear skies from AWACS, the others didnt see any other aircrafts nearby.
I have never experianced this in BMS before.
But Im curious if its a Balkans, BMS or server bug?Thanks for your time

Balkans (no far tiles, no hotix, but with the new tiles and new campaign file) -
A friend and I both jumped into BMS on Win7x64 a few days ago after last playing AF a couple years ago. We both have trouble with Balkins (our favorite theater) but are a little different from each other.
Neither of us have trouble in Korea. The only thing in common with each other and many posters here is the sudden and extreme poor performance happen over the mainland Balkins area when in heavy compat.
Friend on Nvidia:
Some stutterers, then when Mig 29 shows up with missiles in the air, he gets an unrecoverable freeze with sound in a loop.
Myself on AMD Radion:
Same situation as above, but get short and long stutters (.5 - 2 sec) with no unrecoverable freeze or crash.
My hardware has more RAM and CPU/GPU than my friend.When I played Balkins in AF, I was able to do with with no crashes, stutters or freezes at high frame rates for endless hours on a weaker machine.
Both of us notice the rendering of the tiles in Balkins looks a little different than Korea as if the tiles are being processed differently. Looks like some kind of anisotropic problem.
Almost as if the tiles share some kind of encoding error or slight incompatibility with BMS.

Last night I encountered the same problem as my friend. Returning from a successful mission while nearing the Albania coast, the program froze while an AWACS or ATC voice was stuck in a loop. I have a strong PC with every option I could identify turned down to lower than default settings. Stutters are frequent with frame rates averaging 40-50.
When I played Balkans under F4 AF, I had no stutters or freezes in hundreds of hours of play. I don’t know if it’s Balkans or BMS, but Korea seems unaffected.
We are both flying single player. I’m on Radeon, my friend on NVidia. We eventually have the same problem, just takes longer to happen for be, likely because I have more CPU, sys and vid memory. Might be a memory leak or bubble cache problem.

It’s unfortunate that I can’t play the Balkans Theater, due to all the freezeup’s. It looks like it would be alot of fun, but, no matter what settings I use, when the object density gets too large, my computer eventually grinds to a halt and freeze’s up. I have no issues with the original Korea campaign. Object density doesn’t seem to be an issue. I can use the higher graphic and config. settings.
I’ve tried all the suggestions posted with no luck. Back to Korea I guess.
