BMS 4.33 Issues
-
I have a few problems with BMS 4.33 nothing to great but just a few. I program using Keystrokes yea sorry but to lazy to work the other ways, baring that, all seems good. I like to work the profile then fly a little to see if it works. Yesterday I gave it a try and during the flight (PROBLEM 1) TRN MSN groundops Inflight I heard a deep beep thru speakers and lost total control of the ICP. Any switches below the ICP worked, but nothing on the ICP worked. This occurred between SPT 4 and 5 each time a beep then no ICP control 5 missions in a row. The only way out was to restart the mission and try again.
Problem Two When I paused the game to investigate I noticed that there was no notification of pause on the screen or Freeze, unless that was removed, shouldn’t that show up. Tried to day and still no indications when applied.Problem three I have tried to display FPS using the proper keys, but it will not display? Perhaps I’m using the wrong keys, using ALTc : f as described in the BMS Full key guide. Tried several options but no joy.
And last Is there suppose to be a intro movie? haven’t seen one yet. Tried unchecking movie box in config and rechecking it but no movie, I start up and I get a Black screen and it enters the UI selection screen every time.
Flew today the ICP problem seems to fixed itself but all other problems remain. Download was from torrent.

Movies aren’t working. Some codec or veiwer didn’t come with the install. Something like that. There’s a thread somewhere; I thought it was stickied.
You ‘program using keystrokes’ …. which keyfile? And what does ALT-C show up as in the UI? Does your keyfile have this line: OTWToggleFrameRate -1 0 0x21 0 0x2E 4 1 “Sim-Display frame rate” ?

No NO I use the real keystrokes //Keyboard keys, not proficient at profile building after hours of Foxy I just use the keyboard.

Well, I don’t know how Foxy works, but I don’t understand how you use a keyboard for commands without a keyfile.

I use TARGET software, It provides Throttle and Joystick key placement for keyboard keys just take BMS full and match your desired keys to the overlay and done. With the warthog very easy. BMS 4.32 was easy, keystroke names for the key was easy to figure out not so easy with BMS 4.33 but it works. Have a Cougar but just never figured out how to program it, in the back room in a box. They say the cougar joystick is automatic and you program the throttle haven’t tried it yet

The way the keyfile is organized in 4.33 makes it easy to figure out what is for what. I copied then slightly modified a bms - full 4.33 keyfile for my purposes with my Warthog setup and I only had like three minor questions I figured out on my own by comparing the 4.32 to 4.33 files while doing my switch over. The most work I had to do with the 4.33 key file was in swapping over multiple position switches from a cycle command to on/off commands or in the case of the autopilot switch adding in two commands so I could program all six functions on those two switches and finding a few open keys to program in for the new on/off functions versus just a single command for toggling.

I have used Saitek controllers since they have appeared on the market, from the X32 model to the X52 pro. I always used there program software. It’s simple and just relates to the keyboard keys, it’s like flying BMS with the keyboard and mouse. Indeed I’m told that the action of the controller key presses goes from the controller thru the key board to the game but never verified that. As with DX or other profiles are direct, from the controller to the game, so it is all good.
As stated to your earlier post codec may be the problem for the movie not showing, do you know how I can correct that?//what video program do I need to retrieve/install for the proper codec, to show the movie?
Would this missing codec also cause the FPS and Pause/Freeze not show on the screen? Still at a lost as to why FPS will not show when key CMD is given?
