So, here I am!
I double checked the file and it’s already the latest version, so no need to re-upload it (this has been a very tiring period and my memory faults sometimes… welcome Christmas holidays!!!)… so I’ll just provide the description of the mappings and their logic.
=== STICK: 8-WAY POV HAT ===
UNSHIFTED LAYER: move radar cursor up/right/down/left
SHIFTED LAYER: DMS up/right/down/left
=== STICK: BUTTON 1 (TRIGGER / R1) ===
UNSHIFTED LAYER: second trigger detent (i.e. fire gun)
SHIFTED LAYER: switch to MRM override mode (you could change the call to SimSelectSRMOverride if you want to switch to DF override mode instead… your choice)
=== STICK: BUTTON 2 (PICKLE / L1) ===
UNSHIFTED LAYER: weapon release (pickle)
SHIFTED LAYER: emergency stores jettison (hold it)
=== STICK: BUTTON 3 (under your right index finger / R3) ===
UNSHIFTED LAYER: CMS left
SHIFTED LAYER: radar antenna elevation down
=== STICK: BUTTON 4 (to the right of the pickle / L3) ===
UNSHIFTED LAYER: CMS up
SHIFTED LAYER: radar antenna elevation up
=== THROTTLE: BUTTON 5 ===
UNSHIFTED LAYER: TMS up
SHIFTED LAYER: comms switch up (operates UHF radio)
=== THROTTLE: BUTTON 6 ===
UNSHIFTED LAYER: TMS right
SHIFTED LAYER: comms switch down (operates VHF radio)
=== THROTTLE: BUTTON 7 ===
UNSHIFTED LAYER: TMS down
SHIFTED LAYER: CMS down
=== THROTTLE: BUTTON 8 ===
UNSHIFTED LAYER: NWS / aerial refuelling disconnect / missile step switch
SHIFTED LAYER: CMS right
=== THROTTLE: BUTTON 9 (under your left index finger / R2) ===
UNSHIFTED AND SHIFTED LAYER: pinky shift
This is the button you use to switch between the two layers (has to be the same in both), works as pinky switch too
=== THROTTLE: BUTTON 10 (lower under your left index finger / L2) ===
UNSHIFTED LAYER: manual range knob - uncage
SHIFTED LAYER: MRM/DF override modes cancel
=== THROTTLE: BUTTON 11 (on the throttle basement / SE) ===
UNSHIFTED LAYER: cursor enable
SHIFTED LAYER: does nothing
=== THROTTLE: BUTTON 12 (on the throttle basement / ST) ===
UNSHIFTED LAYER: cursor zero
SHIFTED LAYER: does nothing
This is the verbatim code you’ll find inside, just added it at the bottom of the original “BMS - Full.key” from the Docs folder with absolutely no other modifications:

Enjoy and feel free to ask further information shouldn’t it be clear enough.
Hi guys, sorry for necroposting this a bit, but I’m also searching for a workaround for runway lights not working at night in campaign when using a dedicated server.
I tried to follow the suggestion @VIPER-0 gave of placing the server with 3D rendering enabled in cabin at night, but no luck and all the airport remains extremely dark.
@VIPER-0 would you mind to detail what you do on the server step by step?
I see you posted some here, but it’s not clear to me if when you say “we create the package 20 minutes before takeoff” you mean the server flight or your own and also if you create it everytime or only once.
And when you say " the time of the campaign has to be at night" you mean that the campaign clock itself must be advanced until it’s night time or is it enough to set the departure time for the server flight at night (say, at 22:30 LT)?
Moreover, do you use this trick only on KTO or also on other theaters?
Asking because I tried on Balkans, I don’t think this is the issue because lighting should be part of the BMS core (so the behaviour should be consistent in all theaters), but it might be useful to further understand under what circumstances the bug happens.
Thanks in advance, hope for your reply soon!
Really interesting, thanks, just took it!
@VIPER-0 thanks very much mate, will try and let you know how it goes!
Well, you do not strictly need the CD version: any valid (aka: from a certified source) installation of F4 - as the “Falcon Collection” bundle you can buy from various online platforms - will do the job.
Just to provide you with an easier path in case you don’t have the original F4 CD and are struggling to find one…
