Can't connect to server.
-
Ok I have It resolved finally !
If you have UAC (User Account Control) at Windows 7 activated then this is the reason !
BMS4 need to open IVC client/Server, every time you try to connect online.
In order the IVC client/Server to open from BMS call, It needs to run with administrative privilages.So, either disable UAC (not recomended at all)
or- go to x:\Falcon BMS 4.32\Bin\x86\IVC
- right click IVC client.exe and IVC Server.exe
- select compatibility and check Run this program as administrator
- select Change settings for all users and check Run this program as administrator
the above must be done for both IVC client/Server executables !
-
For the IVC server you also need to open ports: 9987-9989.

I have been flying Falcon online for over 10 years now and I’ve never had this much trouble getting it to connect online. I could use some help. To make this go quicker, trust me when I say that ports 2934-7, 9987-9989 are opened. I say that because that process of doing/confirming took about 3 days before we trusted it. Win firewall and my personal firewall can be shut down and I still get the “failure to connect to server” message. Have you guys had to do anything else to get this to work? Any help would be appreciated. If I have to do a rain dance while wearing a grass skirt in my driveway to get it to connect, let’s just say I’ll consider it.

The easiest things to check for sure are same installed versions of BMS and on the same theater. Both will cause this fail. Only other time I’ve seen this problem my buddy couldn’t connect to me and it turned out to be a bad install of BMS. He re-downloaded/installed then it worked just fine.
