Alt Launcher with 4.35
-
Does the Alt launcher work with 4.35? It just says it doesn’t detect a installed BMS folder and I cant find a setup to uninstall it it an re install.
Simultaneously I tried to set up my controls in the BMS in game set up but i have to pick between using my throttle, stick, or rudder. Cant use more than one at once. -
No, not yet according to the forum.
I will be waiting for AL to be updated.
Here’s another thread if you want to try and dabble to get things working:

I’m working on the alt launcher myself as it is an open source project and I saw some of the issues with it I decided to help in my free time.
It works well enough for 4.35 but in it’s current state I’d say make a backup of your files. You may even want to hold off using it for some time if you don’t feel like having to potentially fix stuff. The launcher does successfully make a backup of everything and is able to restore stuff but if you don’t feel like doing that I’d say wait. If you don’t mind potentially having to do that if something gets messed up go for it.
At present it does run, it does make it more convenient to set a lot of key-bindings particularly the axis. Also It was the only way I could map the POV hat on my TWCS throttle as the BMS’s setup screen doesn’t allow that for whatever reason (old code). I did just have it stop running for me now though. The launcher won’t run on click when it was just working fine the other day though but it didn’t mess up anything in game and I’m still able to run it like normal with my key/axis mappings in tact.
Chihirobelmo, the author, is currently reviewing some code I checked in to give us more sophisticated diagnostics logging in the application. Hopefully it shouldn’t be too much longer until we can get a better look at what’s causing this issue. I can come back and reply when it’s fixed. Like I said I recently just started helping and it’s in my free time and I have a pretty busy work schedule so it’s still going to take a little time to fix.
Progress can be tracked and you can send logs if you want to here:
