Yep. Seems the graphics chip won’t work with it. You run BMS with the shaders disabled, right?

Yea I have to run BMS with the shaders disabled. None of the shader effects ever show so I just keep them off.
I have a Windows 7 64-bit laptop that I installed the game on and it ran perfectly with all of the shaders and extra effects but the only down fall is that I couldn’t figure out how to get the game to show fullscreen on my laptop. It only play in the center portion of my screen and left open spaces on the left and right side where I could clearly see my desktop background.
Is there a way I could play fullscreen on my laptop with it been Windows 7 64-bit? If yes, ill transition to play on my laptop instead and enjoy the game even more.
Thanks ahead

In game, under SETUP and then Graphics (I think), isn’t there a drop down for Resolution? (maybe under Advanced).
Is your full screen resolution a choice? If so, select it.

Got BMS up in running on my Windows 7 laptop just in time for college so now I can still play plus SweetFx and all the shaders are working flawlessly now so gotta say I like the game way more now that I experience it fully.
Next step…Joining a VFW hopefully if college work dont be too busy -
I never knew this existed all this time. Just tried it and it looks amazing.

Hi all,
Great thread! Really going to try this, so a lot of reading & tweaking to do! Keep you posted and I hope to post some pics here soon.
Cheers, DeltaMikeNL
[edit] first tweak & picture
Thanks to TS & ALL contributors to this thread!!! :bowd:
It was a lot of reading to do, but the install was a peace of cake, thanks to this thread. -
Hi all,
Anyone got a hold onto a screencapture application for games that can record BMS with SweetFX in action? Tried the ACTION! application http://www.mirillis.com/en/products/action.html but that does not seem to work either.
Thanks in advance!

DeltaMikeThe PrtScn (print screen) button does it for you already, built in BMS as well, so it actually takes 2 screenshots,
one is BMS’s default screenshot and path, and the other is the SweetFX screenshot into a different folder.
You can change the default key to capture SweetFX screenshots via the “injector.ini” file if you like to separate the origin of the capture. -
Is it possible to get a nice sun glare while still retaining HUD visibility without BMS HDR?

Perhaps I was not clear enough, but I would like to capture a video from within BMS while the SweetF-post is running.
I tried i.e. Fraps but no SweetFX-post is being recorded by the application.Cheers.

I have a friend who’s Sweet FX keeps crashing. He has followed Ron steps to install Sweet FX. Falcon BMS is installed in “D” drive. Any help?

Could your friend please share some screendumps from his Falcon BMS folders or share where his SweetFX files are installed to?

Ho DeltamikeNL he hasn’t got any screendumps for sweetFX apart from the following

Works in every sim except BMS for me. I have tried several manual installs and the Sweetfx configurator install. It does absolutely nothing in BMS. No issues and no effects. Nothing at all.

EDIT: PLEASE first uninstall SweetFX Configurator and all other manual install of SweetFX!!
As far as I know the BMS install-directory should be in the root of C:\
My setup:
C:\Falcon BMS 4.32\Bin*x86*

1. d3d9.dll
2. dxgi.dll

Can’t you attach a debugger and check what fails? Maybe even get a proper stack trace. BMS graciously provides PDB files.

Tried it yet? Cheers

tried SweetFX and it reduces my frame rate by 8 or 9 FPS. I’ve followed Ron’s instructions, and used his text file. did the old toggle of scroll lock & pause break. When SweetFX is active, everything is jaggy and my eyes really hurt. Yep, I’ve turned off AA in BMS prior, and my CCC is set to use application settings.
my hardware: i5 with 8GB RAM, using an AMD 5770 vid, BMS is set for windows extraction to support my 2nd VGA monitor for the TM MFD’s. Primary display is a Samsung 24" LCD.
