-
Hi, I don’t get how to install Falcon 4.0/ BMS into my pc… Struggling with torrents and stuff… :neutral:

Did you first extract the data to a separate folder on your desktop? I don’t believe you can install directly from the torrents.
-
Yes, did that.
-
Looking at your screenshot, what happened when you double-clicked “setup”…red icon? Also, do you have a copy of the original Falcon 4.0 disk?
-
You can try getting on the Falcon Online team speak, we are very helpful.

Hi, All done installing the game
But, i wounder if there are some new opdates for grapic and stuff?
got the 1-7 now when i installed the game
-John-M
Now, i just need to learn the basics and some more +++
-
There is a Korean terrain texture set called “Tom’s Korea” that’s pretty good. I install it using JSGME for ease. There is also a HUD graphical mod that adds a small change to the color and visible area. But apart from those, there aren’t too many big mods apart from additional theaters.
Keep at it, ask lots of questions, and read everything you can get a hold of.

Where can i find these files?
Yeah, i’m excited to learn more. I haven’t got the plane in the air yet… So working on it… Looking at deturtials on youtube too.

Oh…looks like you may not have used the Base plus U1 - U7 software. Good that you got it going.

http://tomsflightart.jimdo.com/terrain-and-jets/ Mind you that’s the terrain pack and not the models back I’m talking about (which I’m less enamored with) and read the instructions as merging folders leads to graphical artifacts. You can use JSGME if you like but it’s just a simple mod file handler and doing things manually is perfectly reasonable.

And that’s the minor HUD improvement. -

But what is JSGME? -
sooooo i was going to take a flight now… And guess what? My joystick don’t working…
And i can’t find the controls anywhere?
Sooo, here i’am sitting and just looking at the plane…
My joystick is Thrustmaster(yeah, i know, cheap shit, but its a beginning, Got throttle btw ^-^) But yeah, Thrustmaster T-flight Hotas x
So, non flying on me before i get to fix the problem…
Modify message -
Thrustmaster doesnt automatically mean cheap shit… Probably the most common brand for the high end (price wise, not necessarily skill wise) users. Thrustmaster Cougar and Thrustmaster Warthog are pretty common sticks to use with BMS, and I dont think anyone would accuse them of being cheap shit.
Some might argue the shit part*, but definitely not the cheap part XD
*(Im pretty happy with mine though)
-
thinking of buying Warthog. But back to the problem

I’ll take a look mate
But what is JSGME? http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=4333
It’s a simple file shuffling program that’s useful for modding games that work on file adding/replacement. The idea is that you have:
\Game
\Game\JSGME.exe
\Game\path\texture.file (example)If you want to replace texture.file with a modded one you would put the new one in
\Game\MODS\ModName\path\texture.file
Then when you run JSGME.exe there will be a “ModName” entry in the list with an arrow to apply this mod folder’s contents. It then takes the contents of folder \ModName\ and applies it to the root where JSGME.exe ran. The result is that \ModName\path\texture.file will overwrite \Game\path\texture.file.
The upshot is it makes backups and tracks multiple mods that handle the same file and so on so there’s always an “undo” button and you’re back to unmodded.
