Who has a complete list of commands to PDF?
Morphine’s very first post in the thread. I only updated his creation, I didn’t change anything.
The PDF he created is still very much relevant.
Just repeated my issue again.
2nd HARM shot goes high and misses. If this cannot be fixed I want my money back.
FYI the past sentence was HUMOR for all the stressed out types.
I just wanted to add that this exact same thing has happened to me. I never thought of it as a problem but more like something that might happen in real life, were the HARM just goes batsh*t crazy and just keeps flying up in altitude because of a guidance failure…? At least thats what I role play to make it seem realistic heh.
Anyways, since I came across this thread I just wanted to say that this has happened to me too more than a few times while using HAS.
Thanks for this thread. My friends and I have also had this exact problem in both Korea KTO and Israel.
We will try increasing the bandwith.
Heeeeey my friend, this is my error.

Edited because Ahmed has posted the correct solution below.
Thanks DonLduk,
I tried to save the file as ‘notepad ++’ and at first sight it seems to work properly.
I use Windows 10.
I cross my fingers.
Cheers.
Heres the steps for ya.
Download Notepad++. Use this to edit all sorts of files from *.cfg files to Falcon BMS *.key files. Its awesome. Link: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/
Open your key file. Right click the key file (which is now a txt file). Choose “Open With” then choose Notepad++ as the program to open it with. Or just launch Notepad++ and go to File/Open then browse to the file.
Once the file is open in Notepad++ do this…
A) In Notepad++ go to File/Save as…
B) In the Save As box which pops up… look at the very bottom.
You’ll see a drop down menu. It says “Save as Type”. Click that and the option at the very top of that drop down list says “All types (.)” - Choose that.
C) Now, in the box above it, the “File Name” box, type in the name of the file and add “.key” at the end of it. I.e. - “Warthog_DX.key” <-you can just copy and paste that in to the file name box. (Without the quotes)
D) Click Save and BOOM - you got your key file. :bdance:
E) When you go in to Falcon BMS and go to load a key file you will now see it there. As you probably know, just make sure it is saved in the User/Config folder
If you have any problems at all bud just let us know, but if you follow those steps you’ll be good to go.
Technically you could use Windows notepad to do this but I figured it is a good oportunity to introduce you to Notepad++ which is much better and just full of awesome.
Cheers!
This is just awesome.
Thanks so much!
I’m loving the Harrier too. It feels like such a brawler.
They did an amazing job with it. Just sh*t loads of fun.
Hey,
does anyone know how to enable the eyefly (free cam) with this profile?
Ctrl + z + f doesn´t work.
thank you
I use Trackir, but if you can explain to me how this basically works I can help.
More specifically, is your Ctrl + z + f binding in the cam software or is this a BMS bind and function? I can alter the key file for you for your specific needs.
I.E……With trackir, all hotkeys I use are bound through the Trackir software.
Hi Boxin,
I’ve been having the same problems as other people with the profile whilst using CH pro pedals and using win 10 as the OS.
I tried your directions what you gave to “direktor” in the thread, everything worked as expected until I plugged in the pedals. They assumed id 0. I then tried various ways, usb hub first/reboot/ch pro pedal/reboot etc to plugging in the warthog last but that didn’t work either.Many hours wasted I have come to a conclusion, why fight it.
Observations noted
eg Joystick only (No TARGET, Joystick HOTAS shows up in the Controller GUI in BMS,) TMS up, Button number 7 shows up and says TMS up in GUI (Pedals connected).TARGET on (Thrustmaster Virtual Game Controller (root) selected shows as ID0 in the Controller GUI in BMS ) TMS up, Button number 7 shows up and says TMS up in GUI (No pedals connected)
TARGET on (Thrustmaster Virtual Game Controller (root) selected shows as ID1 in the Controller GUI in BMS) TMS up, Button number 7 shows up and says LMFD: OSB - 7 Button - Push (Pedals connected)
It seems it is TARGET that is causing the error, without it activated everything works okay.
So if I leave the CH pro pedals at ID 0, could the key file numbers be amended to counter the problem I’m having?
I believe I would have to add 32 to all the Joystick numbers in the key file, but I’m not sure which to amend and which to leave. I want to use the Target profile/key as per Morphine’s original layout
Apologies if this isn’t making sense, it doesn’t to me neither.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Darrell
Hi Splash,
It makes sense, the exact same thing has happened to me in the past. Every single time this has happened I have uninstalled BMS (properly with the setup uninstaller), then reinstalled.
So this is what I would do in this order. Also some tips…
Tips:
A) I honestly NEVER even give a thought to controller ID in BMS. I do not think this problem has anything to do with the ID.
B) I never mess around with the controller drop down in the controls screen….ever. I never even look at it.
Actions to do:
A) Uninstall Falcon BMS - Don’t backup anything. Complete Do-over, fresh log book… everything. Reinstall.
B) I created a new version of the key file for you to try. I have removed all mappings on all MFDs. If you have MFDs, just map them later after everything is working. This is something new I have never tried.
Download link for key file with Pinky button shift state and no MFD mappings: https://www.dropbox.com/s/glydo2kcusu0ypr/Warthog__MFD_NO_MAP_DX-4_33.key?dl=0
C) Don’t remap keys using the GUI. I hear this from people a lot. I do it anyway and it has never messed up my key file. Ever.
Other notes:
There are apps out there you can google which will give you an easy interface to change controller IDs. I had MASSIVE problems regarding controller IDs changing all the time in IL2-BoS. It drove me up the wall and I try to avoid this topic at all costs - haha. In IL2 I just bit the bullet and would remap my keys every time they changed (usually when I unplugged the controllers for one reason or another then plugged them back in, which would assign them a new ID).
I don’t use a USB hub, or have one which I can test with, so regarding the hub; I apologize but I don’t have the ability to accurately trouble shoot this variable.
As I said earlier, this exact same problem has happened to me. I have fixed it every time by completely uninstalling, then reinstalling a fresh copy, then I use a backup of the key file.
Have you tried plugging the throttle and the stick directly in to your motherboard USB ports and bypassing the hub with only the Warthog?
I’m a programmer irl and I tend to just use logic to trouble shoot. Regardless of our operating systems, regardless of how everything is setup, our computers all basically work the same way, just different variables.
So the bottom line is I will help you get to the bottom of it no matter how long it takes so let me know how it goes.
Lets take this PM to the forums so others can see the trouble shooting information if they run in to the same problems.
Cheers!

did you turn off just the water normal mapping?
No, I just turned off cloud reflections and focus object reflections.
I left Water normal mapping and water environment mapping checked.
You may also want to try turning off Focus shadows (I left cockpit shadows on). I picked up some FPS disabling that. After turning off just those 3 things I am back in the green. I just played all day and night and had zero FPS problems.
With the TGP on (The absolute worse case scenario FPS wise for me) my FPS was dipping to 35 in the Israel theatre. Korea it wasn’t as bad as that but I still had a FPS hit with the TGP, which makes sense.
But….
Then I turned off Cloud reflections and focus object reflections and my FPS sky rocketed. Everything else is maxed out.
Now with the TGP on my fps is 55 in the Israel theatre and over 60 in Korea.
2560x1600
EDIT for accuracy: TGP still borks my FPS. from over 80-90 to 28-36.
OK - this is how it is:
If everything is unplugged, computer rebooted, and then plugged in correctly (order wise), after binding the controllers and loading the keyfile/configuring axes - everything works fine.
So I know what needs to be done before starting FaconBMS.
The problem seems to be the USB hub that I use (not enough ports in my MOBO, and cable length issues) because after OS restart, the USB devices order gets messed up.
For now I just keep the HOTAS/pedals unplugged until I plan on playing, upon which I just connect them in the correct order and taaadaaaa problem solvedAnyway, thank you for the great profile, hope to see you over the virtual battlefields (preferably same sides )
That’s great. Glad to see you got it sorted out.
Sounds good. I have been looking at Base Ops and looking for servers lately.
Bah! I am an idiot. I did remap it under the zoom not FOV. I use trackIR too. Just prefer the z axis to move forward back in the cockpit and zoom with the slider. I -think- I might have tried to put the slider in zoom instead of FOV earlier which could have been why I had trouble getting it to work. I will try later. So only issue now is figuring out how to turn on the jammer. I hit j and all my misses fell off so I don’t think it is j in this profile.
Right on. What do you use for the radar antena?
Yea if you want to see what the profile does just look at the original PDF docs. I have not changed a thing, only updated.
Boxin, thanks for your effort. I am using the key file you provided and everything appears to work as it should except my zoom. I gave up trying to move it so under the view panel I selected mouse wheel. Applied it and went in game. No zoom scroll… Does it have something to do with this key file or do you think I eff’d something up elsewhere? Edit: I am 99% positive I as mapping it to fFOV not Zoom which seems to be the correct way so I don’t Thai k that is the reason.
I haven’t tried to do this as I use Trackir, but I will take a look at it and get back to you
Tnx Sage!
In the meantime i figured out that it has to do with the controller order in the windows game controllers panel.
I did unplug all the devices and plugged them in in the correct order, but every time I restart my machine they get messed up.
Is there a (known) way around this?
Do you run the script from the TARGET GUI or the Script Editor?
I always use the Script Editor and it is listed as Combined.
n/m, I just ran it with the GUI and it is still Combined, same as the script editor. Let me just list some ideas you can try if you want.
Try one at a time:
1) Do this first: Disable USB selective suspend setting This is what could be reassigning your controllers.
–-------Make sure your Target script is running so it creates the Thrustmaster Devices in DM
---------Go to Device manager
---------Expand “Thrustmaster Devices”
---------Right click on each one (3) and choose the “Power Management” Tab / Uncheck “Allow the computer to turn this device off…”
---------Finally, Go to Control Panel / Power Options / Disable it in your profile
2) Try running the script with the opposite application of what you usually use.
3) –-Unplug all other devices except for your mouse and keyboard. Remove everything, Mic, Headset, Rudder Pedals, Game pad, ETC…, even TrackIR if you use that.
------Unplug your stick and throttle.
------Reboot
------Plug in ONLY your Stick and Throttle
–----Start the target script and go in to Falcon and see if it works.
------After confirming if it works or not go ahead and plug everything back in. (If controller IDs get messed up again after you plug everything in then we will deal with that then)
4) Uninstall Warthog drivers / Reboot / Reinstall Drivers
5) Try this last: Go to device manager / Go to the top menu bar and choose - “View”, “Show Hidden Devices” / Go through your “Human Interface Devices” tree and remove all the devices that are light grey (Ghosted) - Reboot
Thanks for your second edition of the profile HOTAS, works better, but it is incomplete.
Why do not you take as an example the pattern of Morphine edited for version 4.32?
The last one you posted, does not have the keys to radio communications, it does not have the DMS switch to the next or previous steeropoint, the slew control moves on the wrong axis, flaps not working …
If you could create a profile equal to that of Morphine I would be really grateful!
All of these things all work properly for me. Sorry, I work a lot, I have been working on it whenever I have time.
Mine works flawlessly though, and I use that exact same one. Decalre, Picture, nearest threat, changing waypoints, etc… every mapping on the PDF document works fine for me. My friends are using it too and they are not having issues with it. I just messaged them to check. I would not have shared this with the community if these things did not work.
The flaps switch is mapped to Autopilot systems. The flaps are automated on the F16, and all the new planes as well as far as I know, I know the F-18 has automated flaps for sure.
Though aside from all that, i’ll be happy to try and help you get it working.
From what I read it sounds like your Target script is not running. What you are describing is exactly what would happen if that were the case. Those are all shift state commands, plus the Radio calls are short macros (which could actually be mapped out with the 4.33 update), and the Target script is needed for that. The Flaps switch is not a shift state command, but if you were thinking that is in fact for the flaps then we already got to the bottom of that.
However, if you are running the target script then we have some detective work to do.
Morphine’s 4.32 is exactly what this is/was.
I meant under the Docs Key File Editor (Excel).
Because you can create a layout for the keyboard, I can not invite only …. ???
I dont use the Excel document. You will have to look elsewhere for support with that. I edit the code in the Keyfiles directly.
I use the BMS Key File Manual for reference and thats it.
You, lad, are AWESOME ! Thanks for this hard work ! It’s nice to see such a good community all over the world reuniting for BMS. I hope I’ll be in your wing or on the otherside of the AIM-120 one day ! Merci !
Happy to help. Thanks!
