Icer: I get the hour glass for 2 seconds and then nothing. There does not appear that any of the little Microsoft program are needed for AL so I have no idea what I am doing wrong.

RE: Ice’s Falcon BMS Profile Updated for BMS 4.35
I have the profile working fine and my warthog HOTAS has been programed with the new ICE key file. However, I have only used the first layer of each button for commands. I tried to understand the shift function in the Ice key file but could not figure out how to work it. I noticed that in Section 5.11 of the key file in the game there is a command for STICK: PINKY SWITCH (DX SHIFT). Is that how I implement the shift function? If so, how do I indicate which other commands that will use the shift function?

RE: Falcon BMS Alternative Launcher (Easy Setup, Keep Joystick Assignments)
Yes. I am running 4.35 and 1.60. I tried your method and no joy. I guess I am too thick to get this to work. Will keep trying though. When I click on the shortcut, nothing happens.

RE: Falcon BMS Alternative Launcher (Easy Setup, Keep Joystick Assignments)
I am using AL for the first time. The instructions state:
I recommend make backups of the registry.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/BenchmarkSims/Falcon BMS 4.33 U1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Wow6432Node/BenchmarkSims/Falcon BMS 4.33 U1
I can find the second item above but cannot locate the first item. My HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE file goes from AUEP to Caphyon with nothing in between. What am I doing wrong?

RE: Ice’s Falcon BMS Profile Updated for BMS 4.35
oakdesign: I know that the shift function has nothing to do with Helios, I just didn’t want to screw things up. Therefore, I will try the Alternative Launcher and your 2. If using Alternative Launcher and/or needing to change keyfile bindings method.

RE: Ice’s Falcon BMS Profile Updated for BMS 4.35
It has been a long time since I played BMS and I no longer can use Target so how I would like to be able to implement the shift function when using Ice’s key profile and this Helios profile. Any thoughts?

RE: Ice’s Falcon BMS Profile Updated for BMS 4.35

I have been flying DCS with CZ’s Helios profiles for some years. While I used to fly BMS, I stopped several years ago. Out of curiosity, I decided to see what has been created by Helios profile makers with the latest version of BMS.
When I found your site, I loved what you did to improve Ice’s old profile and immediately installed your profile and BMS. Everything seems to be working OK, but I do have some questions on the key file kerfuffle. The issue of key files in BMS seems to be a little more confusing than in DCS.So here are my questions:
First, my basic setup:
Warthog stick and throttle (with a Virpil stick base so no target files work)
TM MFD’s but I probably will not use them as I prefer the Helios profile
CH rudder pedalsSecond, my questions:
In your readme file, you state:
Falcon BMS 4.35 Installation
3. Depending on which HOTAS profile you intend to use copy the relevant keyfile from the Setup \FalconBMS Keyfiles folders to the Falcon BMS 4.35\User\Config\ folder.
4. Load and save the chosen keyfile in Falcon BMS 4.35 Setup.Which key files are you referring to? In the BMS folder, under 01 Input Devices>03 HOTAS setup>TM Warthog there is a file “BMS-Basic TM Warthog.key.” Is this the correct one?
Next, in Helios, in the Falcon setup, the only Falcon version allowed is BMS 4.34. Is that ok?
In the Falcon key callbacks>key file, I put "E:\Falcon BMS 4.35\User\Config\BMS - Full. Key” Is that ok?Am I correct that the key profiles for what is used for the Falcon BMS 4.35 Setup in the game does not have to be the same as the callbacks key file in Helios?
Two other minor issues. How does the new anti-skid switch work? I cannot seem to find the button for it under the label. In your Rotary Switch Touch Zones, you have a picture of the Aux Comm panel. I could not find it the profile.Once I get the above sorted out, I will then try to understand the issues with your stuff and the Alternative Launcher, but that is for another day.

Is just having Falcon.exe on your disk sufficent?
I am just getting back into BMS and in prior days, just having the file Falcon4.exe on my drive was sufficient to allow BMS to install. Today, when I tried to install BMS, it asks for the Falcon install. While I still have my original Falcon 4.0 disk, I no longer have a CD drive. Do I have to buy the full falcon game again and download it over the internet?
Solved the problem. Used my wife’s computer that has a CD drive and copied the files to a USB drive and the transferred them to my computer.
