Hi everyone, could someone please direct me to where I can find the installer music? It was fantastic (same with the main menu music please).

RE: X55 keyfile -BMS -Full DX Programmed
Hey Snelle, just a heads up that the current legend is partially incorrect. ‘TriggerFirstDetent’ is listed as an unshifted trigger press, while ‘TriggerSecondDetent’ is listed as a shifted trigger press. It is the other way around in the current profile (v5.5)
Caused me some confusion as the second TriggerDetent results in the laser getting stuck, as it never recieves the ‘TriggerFirstDetent’ release due to the x55’s lack of a dual state trigger. Caused a lot of confusion, until I figured out that the mapping legend of this x55 profile had them the wrong way around. -
RE: Laser permanently lasing after short manual lase
Well, no. But I may have an idea what’s happening. But for that I need you to tell first which button you are using for manually lase? Because you should use the 1st detent and not the trigger (trigger is the 2nd detent), so let’s start with the easy solution that if you are used to use the trigger with the X-55 in order to fire the laser, then it’s normal that the laser will get stuck because in Falcon logic the 1st detent is still held.
The difference between the X-55 and other controllers (Like X-52 and I suppose the cougar) is simple: Those controllers have a double detent trigger, the X-55 has only single. But Falcon logic is built towards double detent triggers, so the usual functionality will be:
1st detent depressed
2nd detent depressed
2nd detent released
1st detent releasedBut in the X-55 if you are using the trigger (And assuming the trigger is defined as the 2nd detent, as it is here) to manually lase, then naturally when you release the trigger, Falcon will not release the 1st detent so from the sim POV the 1st detent is still held.
I can reproduce this easily anytime:
Manually lase with 2nd detent (Trigger)
Release 2nd detent
Laser keeps firing because from Sim logic the 1st detent was held along with the 2nd detent but was never releasedThat cycle is a normal behavior and actually the problem is with the X-55 HOTAS that doesn’t support double detent trigger (I was very surprised to find that when I bought mine, because the older X-52 did supported that).
However, of course the simple solution is to use the 1st detent in order to fire the laser, this is how it’s used IRL and this is how it should be used anyway.
But, all that said, the original problem that I was talking about, that the laser gets stuck by only holding the 1st detent, that I’ve seen a couple of times and it’s probably not related to the 2nd detent issue which I explained above. I think there is still a bug larking here, although I didn’t hear complains about that, so I thought I was the only one suffering, even though I only use the 1st detent to fire the laser.
FWIW, here I have the 1st detent programed to the Pinky switch of the X-55 stick. This way it gives me the closest feeling to the trigger, but still not the trigger itself.
And, by any case, if you are NOT using the 2nd detent to fire the laser then I will need more info to reproduce becasue I couldn’t do it by using the 1st detent manual lase only, I even tried to mixed, i. used the 2nd detent, then pickled (Pickle will also trigger the laser, that is normal) but then 1st detent will release the laser as usual.
Cheers!
Well, turns out you are absolutely right. I got confused as Snelle’s legend calls the trigger as “1st detente” unshifted, when it is in fact the opposite way around (not pinkyshifted - 2nd detente, shifted with pinkyshift - trigger acts as first detente). As a result, the scenario you were describing above (the 1st detente ‘release’ never occurring upon a 2nd detente trigger press) caused the ‘sticking’ of the laser.
Thank you so much for discovering this, my apologies for not being able to help on the other laser sticking issue. I really appreciate all your time and effort. Thank you so much. -
RE: Laser permanently lasing after short manual lase
Here it’s a DX button so I don’t think it should conflict with anything or stay stuck for no reason, right?
Did you have any luck reproducing it?

RE: Laser permanently lasing after short manual lase
Awesome. Let me know if you need anything from me, happy recording a video of the bug in action as well. Thanks for looking into it.

RE: Laser permanently lasing after short manual lase
Tested it 3 times in succession (with on clean reboot and the other two tests with BMS restarts), it is 100% reproducible on my end with the method outlined above. If you need me to send any log files, please let me know where I can find them & I will send them to you right away.
I can link the keyfile as well if you would like. -
Laser permanently lasing after short manual lase
[SOLVED] - See I-Hawk’s later post on Page 2
Hi everyone, I have a random issue with BMS and I am not sure whether it is keyfile (using X55-BMS4.33-Snelle-5.5-NS, no sound) or BMS (4.33 U3) that is causing the issue. I’ve noticed that in the Tactical Engagement LGB tutorial (non ramp start), the laser will permanently lase when the following is done:- Manually lase for a brief amount of time (Trigger + Button D on the x55 with this profile). Stop lasing.
- Continue flight. Drop LGB using CCRP release.
- At this point, regardless of the LASER ST TIME setting, the laser will begin firing as soon as the pickle button is held, and will continue firing indefinitely after pickle button release (Button A on x55).
The laser will never stop firing at this point. Even turning the laser on/off switch will result in the laser continuing firing as soon as it is back online.
If step 1 (a brief manual lase) is omitted, the laser functions as intended, doing the pre-lase when pickling, stopping lasing, and resuming lasing once the LGB is the set amount of seconds before computed impact (LASER ST TIME).
Not sure what the cause of this issue is, hopping you can help out?

RE: Balkans Theater of Operation for BMS 4.33 U5
Hi,
I can’t seem to find the Balkan Theater Settings file in the ‘Add-On Balkans’ folder. Where would it be located?
