SimDMSRight Callback missing
-
After all this time someone noticed,
-
I agree with you all the callback is indeed in the keypress.key file, its also duplicated as a view out the right hand window as well as a HOTAS callback both using SHIFT NUM 8, along with a load of other duplicate entries.
Does anyone know why we have all the duplicate entries?

if you have any duplicate entries the keyfile will not work correctly.
Id recommend once more a fresh windows install followed by a fresh falcon install.

……
Depends on how you define “duplicates”. In this case it is the same command, say, DMS UP, assigned to two different keys. This does not cause any issue or conflict. It simply gives the user the choice of to which key to press.
Of course the user is free to change the keyfile to remove those ‘duplicates’, or, ‘re-key’ the duplicates to be ‘no key assigned’.

seeing the number of problems you seem to have, i recommand a full clean reinstall from a reliable source.
then before touching ANYTHING in the BMS install…fly it !
The BMS default *.key have absolutly no problem with DMS callbacks…the entire BMS world is using them for 4 years without a glitch.
Do you confirm you are using BMS 4.32 ?

I was more thinking of BMS 2.0 ….seeing the number of problem he is reporting

To conclude this thread I have found out why it wouldnt work with the keypress file.
The DMS keypresses are on the Num Pad on a standard keyboard. Ive took all DMS functions off the number pad and placed them on different keys on my keyboard and that cured the issue. The actual DMS Right command needs to be copied out of the BMS key file into your own and a key selected for its use.
BEWARE.
Num Lock ON gives one set of commands, Num Lock Off gives an entirely different set.Thanks all for the help and the usual post spreaders. Try flying and finding bugs instead of living on here. Way more fun, especially if you find a bug that is repeatable.

This one is useful for ppl Gyro.
(This is maybe a reason why I prefer using DX button)

Ive gone a lot further than that, Ive got Falcon BMS along with my Visual C++ libraries on its own windows 7 home edition computer with only the Hotas, Keyboard, Mouse and my Corsair K50 gamepad extension pad installed on it. That way nothing will cause any form of conflict because its only thing on it. Im a computer Technician / Programmer by trade now and I had an old machine lying round so it got put to use. So its a clean install of windows with all updates, clean install of BMS U1 - 7 after a full defrag and error check. Ive flown Falcon a lot of years and I know how its a finicky little sod with other installed software so its got its own machine and a decent spec one at that.
So my install isnt iffy at all if it is then thats the way the installer made it. Its all been checked and double checked. So yes Mav damn good idea to be implemented by all. I still recall the SP4 dance and dance and dance andance and…. you get the picture.
Oh and the reliable source was one of the Wing Commanders, the MD5’s provided on other sites matched and the malware scans all came back clean apart from Balkans theatre.
