GoG Falcon4 to BMS for Dummies
-
I don’t think so. Try it and see if not uninstall and put it onto the C drive.
-
I’m about to purchase Falcon and just wanted to say that all my GoG games are on my D drive. Do I understand that most likely I’ll have to install Falcon to my C drive to be able to install BMS?

Nope. For example I got my GoG vanilla “Falcon 4” on my F: drive and BMS on same disk in.

Thanks Tiffy & gravite

ok, so I’m attempting to perform the U1 update and keep getting the same error message stating I must have a licensed copy on my computer. I purchased Micropose Falcon 4.0 from steam. I right click on the desktop shortcut, click properties, general tab and it shows the following: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Falcon 4.0\falcon4.exe”. I have searched through the forums and can not find what to do if you receive this error message but already have it downloaded to your computer. Any suggestions or ideas?

I tried to do that GoG won’t let me just install Falcon 4.0–- It’s Gold or nothing. I looked into the file and there is nothing that says Falcon4…exe anywhere.
This is a tuff game to get for me 2nd refund request in 2 days.
Just thought everyone else should knowMars1 -

Just thought everyone else should knowMars1~~When you are logged into Cog after purchasing, go to Account and then Library. If you bought the bundle you will see Falcon, Falcon A.T., and Falcon Gold. Mouse over Falcon Gold, and there should be a little arrow appear in the lower right. Click and then go to View Downloads. Falcon 4.0 should be right above the Art of the Kill. Download and install it.
Then go through the Falcon BMS 4.33 installation and you should be good.~~

Thanks Tiffy, it worked for this dummy! Now we need a similar step process for installing controls and theaters!

Updated TL/DR for 2021, with screenshots … because it’s quite confusing, and the new forum makes screenshots easy.
-
Buy https://www.gog.com/game/falcon_collection … cost is typically between US$5-10

This will put 3 things into your GoG library, none of which are called “Falcon 4” – open the one named “Falcon Gold”.
- You don’t actually want to download Falcon Gold … ignore the big blue easy-button, and look over at the “Extras” section. Download the 367MB thing called “Falcon 4.0”.
(Recommended: also grab the 64MB “Art of the Kill” pdf file while you’re there.)
-
Install F4. (Don’t need to run it at all, afterward.)
-
Download and install latest BMS (and incremental updates) from https://www.falcon-bms.com/downloads/
-
Start reading Art of the Kill pdf while waiting for the 2+ GB downloads…
