@jayb @Micro_440th thank u guys but the credits go to @B3rNO he created the original thing in his marvelous trailer 4.36 video. I just added some salt and pepper nothing more.

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

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…

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.

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:

Mission Commander Manual

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.

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…

@aragorn I havent’t run them but looking at the textures they are far superior than mine.
The only “thing” is the details that need some love cause I believe they will be obvious once in pit.
Back than I was with 8GB of ram and I couldn’t even imagine working on more details. I had made a try but it was a killer to wait on production app. I only did that in the tire marks and some stains - oil marks.

Officially the name is Republic of North Macedonia.

You can read the official signed agreement here:

Article 1 paragraph g page 3.

Personally I would use RNM instead of the long Republic of North Macedonia

Guys Gancio says it has a gtx980 which has 4GB of Vram.
Where does the 16GB Vram comes from?

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.

@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.

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?

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-gaming

it’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… lol

as 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.
here is old GameBooster: https://www.mediafire.com/file/nf7pdg1qgoazvis/gb3-setup.7z/file

@I-Hawk said in FPS DROP IN THE NEW FALCON BMS 4.36:

With new terrain engine your GPU will be 100% utilized, don’t worry about that.

@Aragorn
That sums it up… many will not get it but so much true…
