RE: Falcon BMS Open Sourceposted in General Discussion
well that suggestion is a bit out of topic on it’s birth. Besides what Mirv said the current state is a transition state. So don’t forget that.
BMS just entered the DX11 era and for sure it hasn’t shown or taken advantage of the potential that DX11 has to offer to the platform.
Already many things are kinda announced so the posts for gfx and disadvantages fall in to this and the fact that there is no actual competition and we don’t care what DCS does. Paid vs non paid here… different “all”, just the same game category.
In the past I was also full in on open source… that was times of trouble…and open source sounded to me as the only case for Falcon continuation…
Now with the years that passed and Falcon proving that it will never die and seeing things from a new perspective you just can’t imagine how open falcon is.
Not in the meaning of open source exposed code and contribution but in the sense that if you truly are knowledgeable and dedicated to it the doors are already screaming at you to join in and start doing things.
Exposing everything out in the open will only bring more trouble… the team has it’s pace and you just can’t imagine the continues effort done to reduce issues and structure things up for the future. If it goes full open then this will be in danger and could cause greater issues than solve. Believe me the monster is always there waiting for the next fighter…
So you don’t really want it to go out in the wild… better think how you could get in and fight it… make it better.
Are you up to it?
We always want to make it even better and everyone is invited…

I’d say that this laptop - system doesn’t “quallify” for BMS running…
that simple.

RE: BMS Crashes after time spent in flight - Memory Usage warning appears moments before crash - Memory Leak issue?posted in Technical Support (BMS Only)
Depends… I was on a 4GB ram laptop on windows 10 for many years and working office apps and gfx like corel and photoshop for “light” gfx and even standart video editing…
I’m not saying 4GB is ok for BMS, just saying that you can strip down windows 10 to save resources and memory usage and avoid the 4-6GB eaten by OS on just running the OS.
It’s not that easy or straigth foreward but it’s doable if u invest the time and knowledge and experience on it. Small steps on it so not to get a non working OS.

Mission Commander Manual WIPposted in Community Mods & Tools
As I said I started a manual for Mission Commander.
The progress is a bit slow and for sure I will need the Help of all the people here.
The main goal is to cover all application options and selections in a way what you see and what it does from A to Z.
The second goal will be to go deeper in to things and explain maybe objective things out like how do I alter or create from zero a mission.First draft can be seen in this link:
I don’t know if I will be able to maintain it there for ever as it is the e-HAF ftp and I used it just to give u guys a short look and correct me or point me to the correct direction.
Please bare with me as I haven’t set any rules on terminology, and what you see are described from the user point of view as I don’t have the developer point of view.Any comment criticism is welcomed but please try to be constructive and contribute to it’s writing.
The tool used is DR.Explain and it can produce HTLM - HTML5 / PDF / CHM files. Also keys can be used and the project can be integrated - implemented to the application as those keys will provide direct link to the written info and sections.
The html version is responsive (for now). For those that don’t know what responsive is open the link on your smartphone and your pc at the same time.I don’t have any Indexes yet and Search doesn’t work for now.
That’s all for now.

RE: Hot Listposted in General Discussion
hmmm I prepared this:
#### START ####
First of all welcome to Falcon 4.0 BMS community forum. We hope and wish you enjoy your time here and become an active contributing member as well which is how this simulator exists in all it’s glory over the decades.
Let’s clear out that I’m not a BMS developer team member. Just a long time Falcon user and a community member for many years and bellow are all personal thoughts and guidance for you.
This is not a developers forum but lot’s of developers are members contributing with their knowledge and expertise.
Have in mind that the whole BMS project is a community build up project from people in their free time. No one is getting payed here for developing anything for BMS core or theater or add on or modification. Please don’t suggest payments or contributions… the team doesn’t accept it.
Mainly it’s an F-16 simulator regarding the airframe and a war simulator regarding the whole application with the famous falcon dynamic campaign which is unique in this sector.So let’s get down with it.

You need the original Falcon 4.0 Installed on your pc. Then you download and install Falcon BMS which is a separate installation. Falcon 4.0 is needed just cause a valid licensed Falcon 4.0 must be present in order to install BMS. You don’t need Falcon 4.0 other than the BMS installation.

https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?29203-F4Wx-Real-Weather-ConverterNow how do you learn the THING… well easy. You must devote a considerable amount of time.
Read the manuals, practice the training missions, watch some wonderful training videos in youtube. Watch out those videos cause each user has his own practice and procedures. The manuals are the point of reference here and they cover almost every aspect for the newcomer, we are proud of them so read them first or you’ll get many RTFM’s by asking around everything in the forums.
You can find some videos here along with many valuable info for BMS:
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?13653-Hot-ListTHEATERS: Oh yes those are free too and plenty to choose from.
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?32-Theater-DiscussionNow that you broke the ice and maybe managed your first landing and maybe your first mission or campaign well it’s time to get serious and join a virtual squadron to get you to the next level, discover and enjoy the essence of Falcon BMS.
Here is the full list of virtual squadrons:
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?32205-List-of-Virtual-Fighter-Wings-and-SquadronsYou will be greatly rewarded. The experience is phenomenal and unparallel. The level of knowledge and expertise you will experience and gain is one of a kind. Though the Falcon AI are ok there is nothing compared to the war’s and battle’s that take place in the virtual skies of Falcon by joining large packages or participating in online PvP dynamic campaigns.
Most Virtual Squadrons have years of knowledge and are very serious. They have structured training programs for you to gain your wings. They are more than willing to help and support active newbs and members. And most of all the climate and relationship between them is what builds up friendships.Now let’s remind you that all the above are totally Free. You don’t have to pay anything for those, and we just scratched the surface of it. Needles to say as easy its for you to get them and install them and enjoy them, it’s way hard and time consuming to build all this. Some take years.
If you find something wrong or a bug please try to reproduce it and be on a vanilla setup.
Post your bugs here:
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?30-Technical-SupportBased on this:
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?35644-How-to-make-a-bug-reportSo please be respectful and grateful cause many community members contributed so that everyone can enjoy their hard work and free time effort from the smallest to the biggest innovation that came to Falcon BMS world.
Once you spot something that is missing or is inaccurate or could be better, first validate and confirm from a valid source. In most cases we end up to real pilots or official documents and then we report things to the forum.We don’t discuss about new features or new release and their time schedule.
The dev team has a free selection from their to-do list and they go along as they see fit and what pleases them to work on. We already know the release dates and they are on a rigid time period. This period is “3-4 weeks”. Which means it will be released when it’s ready and that’s when the dev team will be ok and tested it and it’s ok with them to be released publicly. So don’t waste your time asking about those. Your answer is the same “3-4 weeks” always. You can always make suggestions for new things, but please don’t go like this should be in already and it’s a joke that it isn’t. Your thread will be locked and you will get the answer of: “ Oh since you know all and you can do all come join the effort and you do it and provide it for free to the community”. So please don’t play it a wise guy.The typical questions like how accurate BMS is or how real it is, or if it’s better then others etc. well it’s all answered many many many times here in the forum and previous forums over the decades of Falcon and Falcon BMS life and we are bored with it to tell you the truth. The history of it, the fact that real fighter squadrons use it and real fighter pilots are shocked by using Falcon BMS speaks for it and makes the team and the community super proud about it and it’s the fuel to keep pushing to make it even better in the future. Yes it has and real fighter pilots that contribute and are active developer members. No one knows them (for obvious reasons) but they are there. Could it be better? Well please read ahead…
Many aspects are not proven and you will never get a proof. BMS manages to get the data needed and be close to the real thing as much as possible. We trust those guys for decades and they have proven their intentions and expertise. If you want to question them also think twice. Someone already did before you, so don’t just be another comet. We still give them (Developer’s) hell but not just cause but on specific aspects and with valid verified information. Their free time is valuable and we respect that. We don’t want to waste their time cause we heard something from a friend whose friend has a friend which is a pilot and something is wrong in BMS. Or this sim has this and not that or the other… The team has a long list and things to implement and the future and new features are very exciting. We experience that in every BMS release major or update. We wish you will also be part of it and help in the process of making BMS even better with constructive criticism.
So since we got there… start considering your participation to the community. It’s our ethical duty not only to receive free and enjoy but to provide back to the community so that Falcon BMS will go to the next level and kind of pay for our vast enjoyment by using this extensive platform. Yes you can enjoy it for free for as long as you like. No one is going to force you about it, but please on the back of your head once in a while think what it took for all this to be build up and how and the endless time that it took.
All you have to do is find the way and what would you like to help with and start a thread in the forum asking around. No need to be an expert to a field, you will become if not as most of us did. The whole community will help out. Be prepared, the Falcon “monster”, as we call it, is not an easy task to develop. It needs stamina and dedication. Are you up to it?#### END ####
But I don’t know.
Should I start a new thread or place it on top in the first post of the hot list?
What do you say guys?
If you suggest a new thread please advise and for a name for it.

RE: List of Virtual Fighter Wings and Squadronsposted in Community Events & Missions
Well it would be nice if some squadron stops operations that a member or the person responsible to inform Decimalminimal or make a post in this thread. Sure if it’s just from a member a verification via pm by the squadron responsible would be nice to be done.
In the end everyone searching through this list can contact the squadron and see if it’s active or not…

RE: [Released] EMF v1.1.8 (BMS 4.36 U1)posted in East Mediterranean
@giannis_plt Yes you are missing an update that is not done.
Developers have real life… they provide whenever they can.
we all wish that we had it but unfortunately that is not the case.

RE: BMS Crashes after time spent in flight - Memory Usage warning appears moments before crash - Memory Leak issue?posted in Technical Support (BMS Only)
Guys Gancio says it has a gtx980 which has 4GB of Vram.
Where does the 16GB Vram comes from?

RE: Falcon BMS Open Sourceposted in General Discussion
well that suggestion is a bit out of topic on it’s birth. Besides what Mirv said the current state is a transition state. So don’t forget that.
BMS just entered the DX11 era and for sure it hasn’t shown or taken advantage of the potential that DX11 has to offer to the platform.
Already many things are kinda announced so the posts for gfx and disadvantages fall in to this and the fact that there is no actual competition and we don’t care what DCS does. Paid vs non paid here… different “all”, just the same game category.
In the past I was also full in on open source… that was times of trouble…and open source sounded to me as the only case for Falcon continuation…
Now with the years that passed and Falcon proving that it will never die and seeing things from a new perspective you just can’t imagine how open falcon is.
Not in the meaning of open source exposed code and contribution but in the sense that if you truly are knowledgeable and dedicated to it the doors are already screaming at you to join in and start doing things.
Exposing everything out in the open will only bring more trouble… the team has it’s pace and you just can’t imagine the continues effort done to reduce issues and structure things up for the future. If it goes full open then this will be in danger and could cause greater issues than solve. Believe me the monster is always there waiting for the next fighter…
So you don’t really want it to go out in the wild… better think how you could get in and fight it… make it better.
Are you up to it?
We always want to make it even better and everyone is invited…

RE: BMS Crashes after time spent in flight - Memory Usage warning appears moments before crash - Memory Leak issue?posted in Technical Support (BMS Only)
@white_fang disabling the pagefile is an old performance trick, BUT for systems that operation will never exceed the ram.
if it does u get an instant crash iirc.
this was like when ppl was starting to have 16 GB when 8GB was more than enough, now maybe for 64GB.
pagefile is needed in general and at the end is a good thing to have for stability.
The norm for pagefile was double the ram on your system.Another trick was to have pagefile on ramdrive… example 64 gb ram and set the 32 gb for pagefile… hehe… super fast… though kinda stupid…

@I-Hawk I believe this is cleared out, obvious, and well established.
whatever next to it is just chit chat and a blind shot in the dark.
Hope dies last.
Maybe some tricks could reduce the issue. not eliminate but reduce.

RE: BMS Crashes after time spent in flight - Memory Usage warning appears moments before crash - Memory Leak issue?posted in Technical Support (BMS Only)
sure plenty of ram is good.
BUT
not a total solution.
windows 10 and probably 11 doing a better job than 7 on resources usage but on the same time apps got more aggresive on resources and mem.
over the years many cases of unthinkable issues I have faced or seen as I’m sure many in this community that should be more experienced than me.
since win 10 and more dev detication I reduced my hunt for such issues and solutions.
Having a dry system having activated only what is needed for your BMS or in general flight sim operation is the best solution.
In the past when I was active at flying I had an SSD running windows only for Falcon. Nothing else.
Once I return back to flying I intent to do the same with windows 10.
By the passing of time we as computer users upgrade or add more applications. Having a separated install just for falcon saves you all the trouble… IIRC I had windows updates turned off and was using them only on everyday setup. once I was confident that the update or a new driver or app upgrade that was needed for falcon was ok with no issues then I upgraded on my flight setup. Always taking snapshots before any change just in case to be able to revert back to the stable setup.
In case I needed some extra software WDP MC or whatever I used my laptop with network links for folders etc to access the flight setup.
example MS win10 is ready to deploy a new upgrade to fix memory leaks among other things so windows 10 isn’t that wow of an OS still and superuser taking care is still needed specially in our case were resources on campaign can be drawn out in a snap… there your system and skills show how good it is… if it will have enough resources to cope with the load and offer you an acceptable experience and not crash or have pauses or whatever.
The parameters and options are so many that this jouerny seems like endless.
Many times I thought I had everything in order and then I discovered… ohhhh this is wrong, that’s what it does and this is how it should be setup… and not leave it on default.
Unfortunatelly there is no one ring to rule them all, every system is unique so this is a path that each one has to take on his system.The other way is ok spend 5K or more get the super trupper pc (only pc) with zilion cores 64+GB ram and 2x3090ti on sli and let’s see if we can get 1000fps on this thing to realize that in MSFS u r still on 20-40 fps… and you facepalm your self…
lol
sure in bms you will have nice 3 digits fps no matter what maybe but the cost is much and u have such power that you will never use actually and after a few years u will begin the quest for the next 5K setup…Edit: a simple thing to think… overclocking and issues… most say but I don’t overclock… well most now r on ddr4… just do a search what is the stock ddr4 speed and what is your actual system ddr4 speed… yes it’s already heavilly overclocked and you think everything is ok and smooth but why I get a crash that normally overclocked systems should?

RE: BMS Crashes after time spent in flight - Memory Usage warning appears moments before crash - Memory Leak issue?posted in Technical Support (BMS Only)
I can’t find my post for performance and windows services to stop to increase system performance. links in my hotlist are broken probably from the forum update…
But I found this nice link in the internet.
https://www.pcerror-fix.com/windows-10-services-to-disable-for-gamingit’s not a life saver and please don’t stop all of them.
Go - read one by one what they are for. You might not need them for BMS but you might need them for normal use, so to be able to identify them and restart them in case u need them.
What I was doing always was a list in excel with service name and state before I disable them.It’s not gonna give you much but will let your system breath more and you might actually have a big difference in the lows, meaning when your system was on it’s knees.
Oh I like it so much when I use all this tech terminology… lolas I mentioned already I used a 4GB laptop for years doing serious office work for years.
Besides the unneeded stopped services GameBooster 3.5 saved the day running it - activating game mode when system got in the ui.
I know gameboster 3.5 is way old but it runs on wndows 10 and doesn’t need an account.
latest version might be better, never tried it as 3.5 did the work and i keep it like that, simple.
Hope those will help you but for sure you will learn much for your system as all flight simmers that don’t want to spend zillion of money and fight beasts when their expensive system is bottlenecked.
I’m proud till now to see waaaaaay newer computers suffer on performance while my i7 2600K has simmilar performance or a satisfactory performance with all on and a resolution of 5760x1200 on 3 monitors. and sad at the same time that guys spent their money and they have serious issues that the solution is on their reach but they don’t spent the time to isolate and solve the issues.
It’s not easy but it’s there in most of the times if hardware is not the issue.
OS and drivers are there for general use. We must learn as much as possible to master the actual operation and impact and address issues accordingly or gain performance by stopping apps and services that are not needed actually for BMS use, every bit of it…
On this quest the only factor is BMS gain and stability. If u go oh but I need this for that the other for xxx etc then u better put your hand in the pocket and go for a super trooper pc to save the trouble. Act as the setup is only for BMS since you want better results for this, and to squeeze every bit of resource the hw and os can give to it.
