Installing BMS….check MD5 always shows a corrupt Direct X June 2010! Please help..
-
Hi Agave,
I appreciate your help man.
Will the BMS still work if I have the .exe’s from the weapondeliveryplanner.nl site but the DirectX June 2010 from Microsoft?
Thanks,
Stefos -
I’m downloading the Direct X June 2010 Redistributable……If it’s a virus, my PC is done for! LOL
I’ll report back…the “interesting thing” is that none of the 3 sites download update .exe’s but some other kind of files.
well, they should download an update .exe which creates update package files.
http://blu3wolf.com/falconbms/Falcon_BMS_4.32_Update_3.exe
like that.

Update 7 says this:
Falcon BMS 4.32 Update 7….It’s an application file
We’ll see about Updates 1 thru 6…I saw 2 sets of files which resembled 2 copies of Updates 1-6…In other words, 2 copies of Update 1,2,3,4,5,6…In the same .rar file…
O.K. here I go again! I’ll report back in 2 minutes.
Stefos
Soooo. The developers site link is broken! It says:
“C:\Users\Stefos\Desktop\BMS 1-6\Falcon_BMS_4.32_Setup_plus_U1-U6.zip: The archive is either in unknown format or damaged”What’s going on here mate?
I’ve spent hours on this non-sense! LOL

if they were .bsf files, then those are the setup package files that the update .exes create anyway.
thats what the whole collection of extracted update files should look like.
-
Good Lord….Ohhhhh
When I download this sir…which file do I use to ensure that the MD 5 is right please?
Also, Do I double click the 7z.exe to “unify” the base & Update files?
Thank you,
Stefos -
no, the 7z.exe is used by the setup exe.
there is a separate Setup exe which is in the base install, and that exe reads the update files - no ‘unification’ is required.
if you downloaded the setup 1 to 6 plus base, then the MD5 is for the .zip containing it all, before you open it…
EDIT: this might help you.
-
So, when I get all those files, I do the following:
1. Do the MD 5 on the .zip folder to ensure fidelity
2. Run the Setup.exe
3. A new folder is created which doesn’t override my original Falcon 4.0 install
4. Follow Chuck Yeager’s advice in that long video! LOLCorrect?
StefosWhat confusion mate! It’s not clearly delineated on what to do and what to check!
-
Yes, that’s right. (nor sure on point 1 but probably right, yes).
When you run the setup.exe, it will say “checking for updates”. It will give you the impression that it’s checking online, but it’s not. After a while it will show you the updates you have (all of this based on what you have on that “data” folder).
Here’s what mine shows (obviously it says the game is already installed, don’t know why it says only “base” is installed thou):
BMS installs on a different folder than the original Falcon, in fact you can have both versions installed and play both if you like. Then again, you don’t need to install the original at all. The installer asks you the location of the original game (or the CD) to verify the main exe. It should ask you the destination where you want to install too.
-
well, the advice in number 4 should cover 1 to 3 as well…
yes, if you want to check the MD5 hash, then you check it (as per the instructions on the post you downloaded it from) against the .zip file.
-
Great,
One problem now:
The Direct X june redist…BMS is saying that the corrupted DirectX must be “reextracted”
I just downloaded it from Microsoft mate and extracted it in the “data” folder that had the Base & Update files 1 thru 6.!!!
How do I bypass this nonsensical message?
Thank you,
StefosI’ve got to go to sleep…have to be up in 4 hours mate…This has been the worst experience in mod extraction this far.

Norton OP,
GG nerf Norton.
-
What do you mean sir?
Kill Norton?
How do I do that?..…temporarily stop it?
-
just video game nonsense, but yes if you set norton up to give that file an exception you would have been finished hours ago.
I dont know how to do that any more, they keep changing how to do it…. and like I said, Ive had so many problems with norton over time that I just dont use it. I had norton try to tell me that there was a virus on a brand new CD copy of a splinter cell game once.
-
Right mate!
I just got it working……Even though I told Norton to allow the Direct X it still removed it as a virus…I don’t know.
The vx86 credit was there and it worked.
I did manage to fly a test fly on BMS…Beautiful she is!
Can you please ask a moderator to assist Noobs like mysefl on how to do this?
That was very long and very unneeded time wise.Thank you VERY MUCH INDEED SIR!
Stefos
P.S. How do I check the version number?
Off to bed I go!!! -
the main menu lists the version in the bottom right hand corner.
you’re welcome mate.
-
Hi Agave,
I tried those 3 non-torrent sites……And the same thing happened!
Norton said that Direct X June 2010 was unsafe and treated it like a virus.
As you know, BMS won’t work without that for some reason…I have Windows 8.1 & this Direct X version BMS is calling for is Direct X 9.
I don’t know what to do.
Stefos
uninstall norton
there i fixed this problem and tons of problems in the future. all at the low low cost of 0$ (probably -$ due to norton costing money. that’s a funny joke it’s unfortunate they’ve somehow managed to predicate a business on it for how many years now)

Because you’re using $hit software like Norton and not following the advise and instruction on this web site. There are detailed, step-by-step ‘how to extract and install’ instructions on the release pages. Your time was wasted because you chose to waste it. If you take the same approach to the BMS sim, you’ll quit within the month.

Hey Norton! Quit screwing with my FBMS!

Hi Agave Blue,
First of all sir, Thank you for your help
Second, The 2nd download link is broken for the 1-6 update……look into it yourself
Third, I did allow that file to pass through Norton and Norton still recognized that those 2 non-torrent links have got viruses……Someone hacked the server my friend.Fourth, Your attitude is terrible. I stayed up for some time doing this mod download & install. I am thankful for the mod. I have never complained about the mod.
By the time I was done, I was exhausted and these last posts at 2 something am don’t tell you that.Happy Flying,

The instructions are very well laid out for all to see and use, there has been several attempts at helping you Stefos, when you ignore guys that are taking time out of their schedule to help out someone there is bound to be frustrations when the same questions are being asked over and over.
The bottom line here is did you get it installed and running?
