It’s my package.

I will try to investigate which files is necessary to run freetrack with 64-bit without problems. Now i’m testing, flying and reading manuals for BMS 4.33. Many thanks l3crusader and rest of all BMS dev team for your huge and great work.

Hi viper drivers.
I f you have problems with freetrack and 64-bit BMS this is temporary solution.
Back up your old freetrack folder and overwrite files from this package:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/5lpj2bun4dg6jg6/FreeTrack.7z
I don’t know how this files work together, but it’s work for me :). Tirview.dll is from TrackIR app and other dlls was taken from Opentrack app.
One thing that i do with this package was invert Y axis in Freetrack app.

EDIT by l3crusader : alternatively, you can use the single DLL NPClient64.dll, provided by sthalik :
Try this one, though at present the download won’t work for “trackir enhanced” games with freetrack itself: https://github.com/opentrack/opentrack/blob/unstable/bin/NPClient64.dll
You only need to add the .dll to freetrack directory where regular NPClient.dll resides.
Sources are available in the same repository, including “enhanced” titles, etc.

Fact #1 - Falcon 4.0 Original CD is hard to come by and required for BMS install.
Fact #2 - People will pay upwards of $20-$30+ on the 2nd hand market in some instances just to install BMS, but often than not (probably never) will actually use the 1.08 instance.
Sooo… GOG steps in… “Let’s sell 4.0 in a “legacy” collection, state on GOGs forums that there is no use developing it from 1.08 as BMS is already available.” to the point where they link and recommend it on their forum.

ie. "Vythonaut: Falcon BMS isn’t just a patch, it’s a standalone program with it’s own installer. I guess it would be a waste of time and resources for GOG to make the original version work right, when it’s only needed to have the 4.0 installed, to be able to install BMS to your system. After the installation of BMS, you can uninstall 4.0 from your PC. "
Imagine if every BMS user who downloaded and flew BMS paid $6.00… I’m guessing it would be a substantial profit considering their development cycles.
Solution?
A - Remove the requirement for the 4.0 exe from the BMS installer.
OR
B - Only allow installer to function with original CD version by using a more complex media verification process.
Now one can argue that having the 4.0 install readily purchasable for a low price will increase traffic and interest in the sim, but considering the biggest selling point of their package is the ability to install BMS (IMO) I would be hesitant to support this.
