BMS Key File Help
-
Kuhprah, are you using the update 4 for BMS?
-
Blu3wolf is right. U4 has to be installed to see that folder.
I’ll send you my newest files asap. -
Hi Kolbe,
Good luck and congratulations with your new house. Gives always a lot of work ;-(
I have 1 question about your latest keyfile (Full version).
You have mapped the F1 key to```
F1 Radio:IVC broadcast UI & 3Dand the F2 key to``` F2 Radio: IVC 2DComms (Only Ui)
However on your PDF keyboard layout (US-int) the F1 and F2 keys are assigned to ICP COM1 and ICP COM2.
Now I’m playing arround with Helios and try to make an ICP panel in cooperation with your keyfile. What is the best way to change the F1 and F2 key so I can use them for my ICP panel?

I use U4… but I do not have that Folder on my Win 7 fly PC; on teh WIn 8 Office PC and Win 7 Office PC… nowhere a Folder like that

I changed mine to F7 and F8, as I had the same problem you did… just make the ICP COM1 and ICP COM2 keys F7 and F8, and then set your helios panel to press F7 and F8 instead. simple.

@Kolbe
THXC:\Falcon BMS 4.32\User\Joystick\Generic\Kolbe
this folder does not exist on your PC? check the file structure carefully… if it is not there, you may need to reinstall BMS.
it should be in the install folder, then the USER folder, and then joystick\Generic\Kolbe.

Thanks. However I use F7 for the precision mode for my trackIR and F8 for an another program. But it is nice to know that I’m not doing something wrong.
-
oh well, as long as you use some key that is unassigned, you should be fine.
-
Ronald, as long as U4 is installed properly you should have my files in the folder mentioned above.
In this version of my key files is an issue with the F1 / F2 keys. It is already adressed in my next update.
Problem is, that BMS uses always the second key occuring in the file. My key file uses both keys twice. For ICP and as a reference to the IVC function in UI (the keys are set to SimDoNothing here).
The IVC stuff appears after the ICP stuff in the file hence BMS skips the ICP functions and “thinks” F1 & F2 is set to SimDoNothing. Hope you get what I mean.To solve this just delete the both IVC lines which are set to keys F1 & F2 and ICP should work properly again.

Hi,
since the release of U5 there is also an update of my keyfile work available. New version is 1.6.
Just take a look at Users / Joystick / Generic / Kolbe
It would be nice if someone would volunteer to help me with the Dx stuff for the Warthog.
If someone is interested, please drop me a pn. Thanks. -
so if we have 1.5 working properly, there is no need to redo for 1.6? its just fixing the COM issue?
-

Yes.
All I have done on the key files is listed in the changelog.
So, if you have fixed this issues yourself and you are fine with it, there is no need to use the newer files. -
hi kolbe
tanks for your great job.
in the DX generator file i dont found the DX Id of coolie switch in the trhottle of the TM wartogh. Why? -
Because BMS supports only up to 4 POV hats of the primary device. And this is the stick.
You have to assign the POV (and the Cursor btw) on the throttle via TARGET. Unfortunately…
Be adviced that the Warthog sheet is still WIP. -
tanks for the reply…
exist other way for interly programming the warthog only via DX? -
You can fully program your Warthog with DX, except the both hats on the front side of the right Throttle (I think one is the POV and the other one is designated as cursor? Can be wrong here). All you need to do is to program those with TARGET.
-
What is the keystroke for firing the gun? I do not see it listed anywhere.
-
See Flight Stick section, second trigger detent

Please remind me again how to correctly install this keyfile… do I need a certain profile for the HOTAS Cougar to use together with Kolbe’s excellent keyfile? I’ve recently re-installed BMS after a system upgrade and would love to take up regular flying again.
Thanks, Uwe
