Balkans Theater of Operation for BMS 4.33 U5
-
"If you have the main install named Balkans_4.33.1c1.zip…that version of the install includes the update to fix numerous 3DDB issues as well as the previous hotfix." I would prefer to just download the 4.33.1c1.zip to have the all in one but, I don’t seem to see a link for that?

It is re uploading now. Should be finished in about 2 to 3 hours.
-
Thanks Coug
I’ll look for it tomorrow
And again many thanks. -

cougar - I assume you didn’t add anything new to the newest version, and if I have the previous theatre version plus Update 1, I’m OK, is that right?
-
Correct the only thing that was updated were the runway and taxiway lights on the new bases. It shouldn’t cause any issues if you have the split version…1c and update 1 verses 1c1
The lights were updated to have a switch on them that would be turned off when not on approach and on when calling the tower and during the night and inclement weather
-
That’s fine with me, thank you

I uninstalled the Balkans Theater. I put the installer in the BMS folder and ran it from there. Then installed it in the BMS root directory. I also put the updater in the BMS rout directory and ran it from there.as
It appeared in the Theater list. I selected it and then it crashed. I also installed the Israeli Theater and it is loads fine.
Any ideas?

Is anyone else having this problem? I have had it crash when selecting it, but I have also had the Israeli theater do that too. How many times did you try it? I would try it again. I’m not sure why it isn’t working for you. If you have TeamViewer, I would be willing to meet up with you sometime and we can try to figure out what is going on.

No problems here. Started and restarted many times without a hitch.
Also, I saved a bunch of TEs from the previous version and ran them through mission commander which sorted and repaired duplicate camp ids. The all seem to work just fine, at least in single player. Will try MP on Tuesday.

Hi Cougar,
Thanks! I uninstalled and reinstalled it again. It seems to be stable now. I look forward to flying this theater!. Thanks for all the hard work. It’s amazing that I purchased F4 in 1998. I had an F-22 HOTAS and a Suncom back then. I took a break to have a family and recently built a new computer to get back into to flying sims. It’s amazing that F4 is still around. It’s even more amazing that it doesn’t seem like an old sim. I don’t think any software developer could have come out with something better if they started from scratch.

I still have the same problem. I think I’ll delete the entire directory of Balkans, and reinstall it again, today.

Not sure if already noted in this thread, and probably known issues, but Gioia del Colle has the TACAN listed as 124X in the NAVAID and 125X in the airbase chart, and different VHF for tower, location, etc… Just FYI in case not known.

http://firstfighterwing.com/Airbases/DPRKAirbases/gio2.pngDear friend,
Your mention is very good. Let me help and clarify the area.
So the current NavAids have outdated data and lot of conflicts/non functionality. So for now you have at least all the charts of the “Balkans MAIP.pdf” to have correct data. That means that if you want to use any of the charts of the “Balkans MAIP.pdf” do that without a fear. For any other airports except of the charts, turn to the “1108_BalkanNav.pdf”.
Also please download and use this file here: https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?27735-Balkans-Stations_ils-dat-file-got-messed-up
It has Vicenza VOR/DME active and functional, so you will be able to execute the VIC 6A and VIC 6B SIDs from Aviano airbase.
Now I’m in the process of creating the new NavAids and their list with currect real data as also without any conflicts/non functionality. Check here to see my progress (posts 136 & 139): https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?12435-Balkans-Theatre-IAP-charts&p=388911&viewfull=1#post388911
I estimate that around 2 weeks from now they will be ready and you gonna have them ;).

My bullseye display does not show distance to bullseye set location. That is no figure within the small green circle. Only shows cursor position figures and aircraft location figure.
This is peculiar to my Balkan theater.
Is this know issue or I need to turn it on somewhere. Did not have to do anything on in Korea theatre.Help out guys, thanks

Possibly because you’re beyond 100 miles from B/E?

It is on the 2 MFD. By default there is a green circle symbology with tick on around it and has a figures indicating distance from from bullseye position, that is what is missing. Cursor position relative to bullseye has both radial position and distance figures but the green circle has no figure within.
Picture coming right up.
I will check with the 100miles from bullseye suggestion by flying close to bullseye position, perhaps that explains it.
Will keep y’all posted.
