Falcon BMS not starting–Part II--He's back again.
-
Thanks so much you guys. I got it running and then a few hours later it crashed and I had to reboot my PC. I’m going to re-download the latest iteration–1-7 if I can it again–then reinstall it.
-
Before you even start installing it, make sure you remove all files related to BMS and to clear your registry!!! PLEASE, haha

It’s fixed for me. I tried it again today and it worked. Minor work needed after restoring a backup and I’m ready again!
Now to get to modding. Any suggestions?
-
Yes, save modding until later.
Learn the sim first and be confident that you have a stable install. -
I am running the latest drivers.
-
Okay, I’ve disabled the intro movie, removed .vhs files, uninstalled it, ran the registry cleaner and re-installed it. The same ol’ same ol’ results.
-
Its the display drivers I can almost bet on it. Uninstall the ones you have now, and use a driver cleaner like Display Driver Uninstaller. For best results use the cleaner in safe mode. If you insist on having the latest drivers then try reinstalling them from a fresh download. If not then like I have said 4 times already download the ones your manufacturer suggests and make sure you use the cleaner beforehand or else it will lead to more problems.

Running a registry cleaner probably caused more problems, I always tell people not to do this. Registry cleaners can never be 100% safe because it can actually delete something which is still in use. When we say cleaning the registry we mean going into regedit and removing any entry BMS leaves behind.

I’m trying that right now, Seabass.

Its only a registry, how important can it be.
Just download a fresh one.

If you have ruled out Antivirus.
Does the launcher run OK an then Falcon doesn’t ?
Set all as “Set by application” in your GPU control interface. Run the launcher.
Disable SLI in your GPU control interface. Run the launcher.
Then try The “Falcon BMS.exe” directly. You will find it in " whatever:Falcon/Bin/x86"
Disconnect all your Control inputs, joysticks, pedals ect and shut down any software, Run the launcher.
Then try The “Falcon BMS.exe” directly. You will find it in " whatever:Falcon/Bin/x86"
Do you have more the one Monitor have you moved or removed any, and are other “games” functional" ?
Take a few steps back:
How did you show the Installer that you have a valid copy of the original Falcon.exe ?
You don’t have the original Falcon4 installed do you? And then try installing over the top? Sorry if you think that’s a dumb question.
Have you tried running the “Launcher” before doing the updates. ?
Is your wife/girlfriend/partner computer savvy. And knows what will happen if you start flying the viper?
How did you get it to run before, what did you do different.
What is the meaning of life?

Thanks, I’ll be sure to do that
-
Well, this is very frustrating. I’ve tried everything and nothing works.
-
Do you have TS3 and a headset/mic?

-
Yes, I sure do. However, it’s RUNNING!!! I went to disable the SLI and lo and behold, it was already disabled. So, I enabled it and it launched! Now, all I have to is install the updates. For some reason, only the base installed.
-
Alright. Get the updates installed and report back please!!
Hopefully, you’re on your way to success.
