Falcon BMS Alternative Launcher (Easy Setup, Keep Joystick Assignments)
-
Thanks a lot!
A small request. Would it be possible to add invert options also for for the SSC axis?
Sounds kind of stupid, but going from a centermount to a sidemount (with my simpit setup) Need
to rotate my Warthog grip 90 degrees on the base.I can set pitch to X and roll to Y but then I also need to invert or I would roll in the wrong direction.

The launcher crashes if you have something in the search field and then try to select a category.
-
I’ve submitted a fix for the crash:
https://github.com/chihirobelmo/FalconBMS-Alternative-Launcher/pull/7
by disabling the category selector when a filter is active. The category selector shouldn’t be enabled when a filter is active because it will try to jump to a category that no longer exists in the list once it’s being filtered (hence why it was crashing), and the list is reduced to less than a page once you type 3 characters or more anyway, making the category selector redundant.
-
This launcher should be implemented as default tool for BMS. Keyboard mapping changes from ‘developer hell’ to “walk in the park”, especially if you fly more than one A/C with more than one HOTAS setup.
Good job, mate!
Nice-to-see future improvements:
- assign button,
- clear button,
- [restore] default button (for specific callback!)
- save key file,
- load key file,
- profile button for default controllers.
I don’t understand why this topic is not marked as sticky yet

Anyone else having an issue where the ATC menu will only display the ground page? I press T, it displays the ground page. Press T again and it just closes the whole menu instead of displaying the next page. Not sure if this is actually an Alt Launcher issue but it started right after I installed it.
-
No works fine here, probably some other keypress is initiated or triggered, making the menu close up again?

Me, I think it might be an alternative launcher thing.

I think so too… once I found it deleted half of the radio binds in the keyfile.
Solution was to copy them from the original
-
My tower and flight menus are dead. I only get the first page, upon the second keypress the menu is gone. Plz fix ASAP.
EDIT: I solved it, simply copy the full.key from the backup folder back to the config folder

Can someone help me with the alternative launcher. I’m trying to map my tm hotas x to use each throttle button as modifier with all stick buttons and hats but it seems i can only use one stickfunction per modifier. What settings do need to accomplish this?

Important Fix!
v1.31 fixed comm menu erasing issue.
If you were using earlier version please restore BMS-FULL.key from User/Config/Binhttps://github.com/chihirobelmo/FalconBMS-Alternative-Launcher/releases/tag/v1.31

BMS only can use “STICK: PINKY SWITCH(DX SHIFT)” callback as a modifier. Alt launcher can assign multiple stickfunction for that modifier by enabling “KEYCOMBO/PINKYSHIFT” button and assign DX button.

Hello, i have a problem, using the Thrustmaster T.Flight Stick X, it doesn’t detect the slider used for the throttle, every other axis and buttons are good. I was using your launcher with BMS 4.33 and it worked perfectly fine.

Just checked with TARGET Warthog Combined Device and all X,Y,Z,RotationX,RotationY,RotationZ,Slider,Throttle worked.
Could check property window of HOTAS.X? -

Could check property window of HOTAS.X?Well, seems the problem comes from the controller, slider doesn’t work in the propreties window either, tried calibration but does not detect when i move it. Plugged it in other usb ports, same problem.

I installed v1.20 on my BMS 4.34, can i just install v.1.31 over the top of it or do i manually need to remove all the 1.20 files? Thx

You can just overwrite them.
Now DLLs are separate download as DLL.zip
v1.31 should work with Hub.exe and Hub.exe.config but in your case older versions DLLs might remain so overwrite them with DLLs.zip -
I cannot assign DX6 on Second Trigger detent. It keeps adding DX1. I tried Release/invoke both and keycombo. I also cannot assign the range knob on the axis page; using Warthog joystick/throttle. I’m probably doing something wrong…

Choose 1st detent and hold trigger at 1st detent then choose 2nd detent and pull from 1st to 2nd detent on trigger.

Check device property window.
