Ice’s Falcon BMS Profile Updated for BMS 4.37
-
@linknet thank You for the update!
-
@linknet The day I feared has arrived
I use a modified version of your profile to just display the ICP, DED and RWR to be displayed onto a 10" tablet. I would post it here but I’m not one for stepping on other people’s fine work (but here’s a screenshot).
That being said, is there a way I can massage my profile to pick up the new stuff or is it a redo with your new profile updates?
-
@CriticalMass why do you have the RTT “X” displayed AND the MFD readout? I get the “X” only when no MFD is being displayed, like during testing for placement… I use a modified profile also, don’t believe it is effected by the update…
-
@CriticalMass
The only item in there that has changed is the TWP panel. I think that it is self contained and there are no other references within the profile so you should be able to copy and paste it into your profile. Select it as below and then copy and paste and then resize. -
@Icer Oh, no idea. I did have the RTT Client enabled as I had the “hidden” in the profile (it was giving me errors so I disabled it and removed the offending elements completely) and rendered by the BMS RTTRemote tool.
-
@linknet So I can copy across profiles? Is that two instances of the profile editor?

Absolutely! That’s how I “make” mine. One window with my new profile, one window with the stuff I steal and copy/paste over…

@Icer TIL

Just be sure everything is unlocked/showing (IIRC). It’s amazingly fast and easy. The MFDs I use RTT in Helios (get a stutter/delay with pure Helios MFDS)…

@linknet
Apparently, the problem was that Windows 11, by default, seems to block downloaded files.
Once I checked “unblock” for the “UnblockFiles.exe”, everything worked perfectly!
Thanks! -
@Dan
Yes, I know.That’s why the Setup Guide includes this:

Hi Linknet, thx for the update, all the previous positions mismatch has been fixed. I’ve just finished a few flights and I think there is one more glitch about the fuel gauge. It’s very easy to notice on the new IFF intercept TE, right from the start of the mission, the two F/R needles mismatch with each other. In 3D it’s about 2/3, while in Helios it’s to the full limit.

When you say that the two needles mismatch with each other I’m not quite sure how to interpret that. The F/R and A/L needles aren’t supposed to match each other only to show the front and rear fuel quantities which aren’t necessarily the same.
Or are you saying that the F/R needle in the Sim doesn’t match the F/R needle in Helios. Easy way to check if the needles are correct is to open the CPD Panel and select the Fuel page. The position of the needles should compare with the readings for AL and FR which are read directly from shared memory.
-
@linknet
Check this up, I took a picture at the start of the TE. I didn’t check the digital readout in the CFD though. I’m indeed talking about the 2 F/R needles, one from the cockpit and another in Helios. -
@jacqueslees
Which TE is this exactly? -
@linknet This is the new IFF intercept TE, right from the start.

Sorry but I need the full TE Number and description. I haven’t looked at the TEs for a very long time so have no idea which are new.
-
@linknet The TE is MISSION 17B: IFF - Intercept (TR_BMS_17B_IFF_Intercept)
Images taken from in the TE and latest Helios BMS profile
The first image is the fuel gauge in 3D along with what is in sharedmemory. Note the aft and fwd fuel numbers.
The Helios gauge in the profile is reading correctly. It’s maxed at 42, which makes sense as the shared memory value for fwd is 51018.35 -
@Wheelchock
Thanks for that, saved me having a look.So according to the provided values the Helios gauge is correct and, for some reason, either the gauge in 3D is wrong or the shared memory values provided by the TE are wrong.

Hi @linknet
I have some weird behaviour that is unexplainable for me. During the last few weeks something has gone wrong with my profile when using the Communications Buttons. I am not sure if related to the latest u3 update so I waited till the latest update to see, but the issue persists after profile upgrade.Here is what happens:
When I press Wingman … LineUp - Single Ship, it actually says Fence In.
When I press Fence In, it actually says Go Wedge.
When I Press Go Wedge, it actually says Close-Up Formation
When I Press Close Up, it actually does Resume Mission
When I Press Rejoin. it actually does Rejoin.It is a similar situation for Element and Flight commands.
I wondered if it was a problem with the location of buttons, but ATC Comms is working fine for all options.
Any help would be great, thanks.
