Agree. Been with Falcon since the wall of migs and ctds. What a great community.
Very difficult to say all the thanks to all who stayed the course in the journey.
So I’ll just say Thank You!

Hi,
-I’m running Windows 7
Have 4.37 base install. ( and that is working just fine)
Udated to 4.37 u1 ( and that is working just fine)
trouble for me is getting the next upgrades. ( U2 to U3)
I have qtorrent, 7 zip, and win zip.
I am struggling to update my falcon. (not for lack of trying… I must me missing something.
It’s gotta be something on my part. Anyone have a few minutes to help me figure this out?
Thanks in advance…
My friend Finch is having an issue with his keystrokes to see and/or center in BMS. He is updated to the current U3. He is in Italy and could use some help…
Don’t know if this the right place to post. I’m trying to get U3 torrent to work. Is it possible no one is seeding it anymore?
Coolcat is looking for some input on how his saitek software is not talking to bms consistently. From axis to keybinds. Anyone have this issue to comment on?
OK, at the risk of selling past the close, I came up with an analogy, which seems on my point.
So you play golf. A 16 or 20-handicap, you aren’t bad, good even, on your day. But you still can shank or duck hook with the best of 'em.
You show up at the course a single. As you arrive at the first tee, who do you see but Ernie Els and Freddie Couples. No shit. They see you and ask you if you want to play with them.
Hold on, no internet machismo.
Are you the kind of guy that says hell yeah? You think you will embarrass the shit out of yourself. These guys will be striping it down the middle while you are blocking everything right in to the woods. You so want to do it, but you think that not only will you embarrass yourself, you are also afraid you’ll just hold them up, inconvenience them, right?
I bet most everyone would instantly feel the urge to make an excuse. “Thanks err, Big Easy, but I’m waiting for someone, you guys go ahead”
Some will play anyway. It’s Freddie and Ernie afterall. Just think of what I might learn!
But other guys will decline and play along behind them. After a few holes they notice things. How much fun they are having. How they banter back and forth with each other and with you when you get close enough. After a while they just seem like regular guys, and by the 15th hole you might muster the courage to say hey, mind if I play with ya after all?
This analogy was completely unecessary, as it seems my points were well-received, but I thought it brilliant so I had to share But it’s those guys who decline that are the ones we need to reach. Just imagine if you had played all 18 with them?
I think this analogy works. Maybe for me more than most. As a current PGA Professional and previous full time playing professional the golf analogy works. To me most all of the points in this thread are said very well and ring true relative to my 17 years of Falcon.
FEAR. Yup, trying not to be embarrassed, humiliated, uncomfortable, ect…? Very true. Confident golf professionals really only require one thing from anyone we play with. Be cool at what ever level you are and have fun. Yes things get frustrating. Vent for a sec, then let it go. At the end of the day, how you played that day is how you played. Maybe tomorrow will be better? Maybe practice? Not Practice? Whatever, but next time just… Be cool.
Dedication. Yeah have to agree here too. We call it realistic expectations is our trade. I’d call myself an 8-10 HCP Falconeer. I let the “pro’s” I fly with MP know that. So for those who like me don’t have the time to be “pro” at Falcon, just mention that. I’ve only met the most helpful people in this world. (Falcon is the only gaming I do at all)
Falcon is hard! To be a pro version for sure. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun during the learning process. And still rewarding! And even the Falcon veteran pros still find rewarding accomplishments. I’d place my bets on that assertion.
Attention Span. Love this one too. Fits the analogy. Call it a video game, flight simulator, combat study flight simulator, or whatever. It’s Complex! Take it one bite at a time. Just a little patience might be needed, but I’d say anyone can build “Falcon Endurance”. Happens in golf. If a beginner is overwhelmed by a bunch of stuff they are not ready for, it feels like work to them. Not fun. Yup, they’re not coming back.
Gamers who beat a game then buy new ones My apologies, I don’t know how to do the quote from each poster to add this post. Ironically this ties not so much into golf, as something I use teaching the game of golf. When golfers get frustrated and start hating on the difficulty I bring up Tic-Tac-Toe. I heard this in a seminar and the jist of it is this. The reason we all quit tic tac, is simply because we figure it out and master it. Meaning…. we got bored. Challenging things are what people generally like. With the caveat that there needs to be achievable and measurable goals along the way. I’m going to put a guess out there and say that Falcon is pretty high up there on its challenge in the world of sims and gaming.
Thanks to OP, and to the posters, and for sure the devs that keep this amazing community alive. If I left anyone out, call me for golf lessons I have bills to pay!
Just thinking.
*How Falcon is going in the multiplayer world….?
I’ve been “helping” to test some stability. That said (parenthetical) I’ve got nothing to contribute technically.
My experience? = Lots of very smart guys with passion that has lasted for years and years.
Current status? = Amazing!! Challenges? From my side yes. Where’s the answer? ----> 3)
Same page? Same book? Same Sim? Not sure, but it’s apparent to me that when I can be a part of 30-40 people testing and trying that Falcon is ALIVE and well. And the most amazing flight sim ever developed… well…
The challenge. I’m gonna put it out there. Without pay? hmmmmmmm? Our community for “free”…hmmmmmmm? What a great Sim and world we have to be a part of as a passionate hobby. Let’s not f*ck this up.
Salute to you all that work so hard to make The Falcon World work… and continue to this day.
Baffler’s Out.
can you send me some screenshots of your install folder by pm? I mean many screenshots about the interested folders.
Regards
You are not going to believe it. I reinstalled one more time. It installed. The only thing I can think of is that there was a delay. I think my first attempt messed up. This time everything looked identical, except the theaterdefinition folder had the two files in it you were talking about. Problem fixed. Can’t thank you enough!!!
