Nothing regarding layout has changed in the latest version. Was it a problem with earlier versions too?

never got it to work
Hm, did you try starting the app while holding the tablet in portrait mode, optionally locking the rotation in the tablet settings?
I just tried starting the app in landscape on a tablet. That does not work well, even after rotation, so that might be an important factor for you.
Edit: I found out how to enforce portrait mode when the app starts. I will add that in a future maintenance release. In the meantime please try if portrait mode upon start helps
Yup that worked, thanks, but when pressing BMS button just get
awaiting server
i see NO cmd window when starting the server?John.
It’s probably related to the other issue you mention above with the server application.
Here is how I use the server application. I placed the single file in the C:\Temp\ folder (but any folder should work):
Then I simply double-click the file. That gives me this window (the “server” window):
Once that is running AND you are in the cockpit, the app will show your position if you select BMS mode by pressing the BMS button.
If you do not get the server window, try running the file as Administrator (right-click the file and choose Run as administrator):
Another thing that I must mention, do not press Esc when the server window is in focus. That will close it down. Just move it or minimize it to get it out of the way

Just checked that the app works with 4.37. Phew

hi @jayb ,
I just got a new rig and installed 4.37.1 and all the tools etc. including BMSBullseyeServer/BMSBullseyeHelper. No matter what I do (including running the server as admin) the CMD window just sits there listening.
Any ideas? I was on Windows 10 Pro, and now I’m on Windows 11 Home. I hope this isn’t the issue - I wonder if anyone reading this is running the software OK with the same OS as me.
-
@CriticalMass Hm, it probably has to do with W11 vs W10. But to check the simple things first, did you allow the server app thru the W11 firewall (did Windows ask when you launched it)? They may have changed how that works.
I am unable to check the server app on W11, so I hope that someone has an idea besides the firewall settings …

You d’man!!
It was a firewall thing. I deleted the entries in Windows Firewall and opened the server app and all is hunky dory!
Thank you!

@CriticalMass Awesome news , great!
-
Thank you for sharing the great tool! I’m a very new BMS player and I’m pretty sure using this tool will improve my poor SA much better.
I know this thread is pretty old but the tool works like a charm today. I’d like to having an option that makes hide direction numbers surrounding on bullseye if you have spare time.
Thank you for your effort!

@Sen7144 do you Mean in the practice modes?
-
@jayb Yes, in practice modes
-
Hi, I did you mange to solve it? I get the same issue…
I think maybe there is some runtime engine that needs to be installed? -
hi, no, given up
-
Could you try the method in post https://forum.falcon-bms.com/post/359775 ?
-
@jayb first off all thank you so much for that software! Extremely helpful
I tried the run as admin but it doesn’t work /: the cmd window appear for a second and close itself.
I have it running on my desktop and I do remember it wasn’t working at the beginning and when I downloaded one the the .NET for the WDP it started working all of the sudden.
I’m trying to run it now for my laptop but no luck so far…
-
@Elad-Yeshno Right, I might be able to put out another version. As for the pc where it is not working, is that on Windows 7 or 11?
-
@jayb window 10
-
@jayb
I figured out the missing thingy!I needed to install .NET Core 3.1 SDK (v3.1.426)
now its working
-
@Elad-Yeshno Awesome, thanks for sharing your solution !
-
I have put out a new version of the server application. It should be able to run even if the system does not have specific .NET packages installed.
If the regular version of “BMSBullsEyeServer.exe” fails to run on your system, please try out the new “BMSBullsEyeServer_SelfContained.exe”.
@arabianjules - this might help with your issue if you want to give it a go.
Both server app versions can be found here:
