Theaters from other sites
-
Can anyone advise me please? Yesterday i came across a site called PMC TFW and they had a list of theaters available which they say, and I quote, “Theaters below are for Falcon 4 Allied Force, Benchmark Sims BMS 4.33 and FreeFalcon 6”. There is quite a selection there and there is a price to pay for each of them. What is not clear is if every theater is suitable for BMS 4.33.
Has anyone else used this site and are the theaters what they claim to be, namely usable in BMS Falcon 4.33? I would appreciate any advice as to whether or not to purchase these theaters. I have no wish to bring this site - PMC TFW - into disrepute and this is a genuine query.
Thanks to everyone and my apologies if I have inadvertently offended anyone in the PMC TFW community.

Have never tried them myself, but I always heard PMC theaters are worthless.
Besides, PMS is payware, which is not supported by the BMS team, so anything you buy there is unsupported. All theaters you find on this forum, however, ARE supported and should be working (some in WIP stage, though).

Its worth pointing out that until BMS 4.32 was released, the theaters were freely offered. It was only after BMS was released that they started charging for it, trying to make money off of the release of BMS.
Any of the free theaters - ITO, Balkans, KTO - are significantly higher in quality, and I would recommend those over the PMC ones. IIRC, Krause actually did a review of one of their theaters and posted a video of it.
Do also note as a general rule, that you need a different version of any theater to get it to work in F4AF, BMS or FF. It is not a case of ‘one size fits all’.
Happy flying!

Forget PMC. Falcon Online and this forum are the place where you can find working and functional 3rd party theaters.

i saw a new PMC theater there- ukraine! <sigh>BTW since we can actively control GU movement in BMS4.33… IMHO all campaigns in various theater mods can be won now.</sigh>
