RE: Falcon BMS 4.3.7 / Wine / MacOS Big Sur
Tried out the Crossover trial and was able to get up and running. Seems to be a more straightforward install process. You have to manually download and install some directx stuff and visual c++ stuff but other than that seems to work. I don’t have a stick yet, probably will just get a used logitech extreme for $15 to try this out. Wondering if there are any pre-exisiting keyboard only config files I could load up while waiting on a stick?

Budget Laptop for BMS
Anyone recommend a budget laptop I could use just for BMS like an Acer or some throw around thing? Kind of just want a seperate mobile BMS setup strictly for BMS.

RE: Keyboard only config for BMS 4.3.7
I don’t have a game controller at the moment and am just trying to get setup to play around at work for a few min here and there. Can’t have controller at my work desk would be cool to just be able to taxi around and take off and land, some basic stuff with the keyboard.

Keyboard only config for BMS 4.3.7
Re: Use simulator via the keyboard
Hi, will this keyfile still be relevant for the latest version of BMS and if so, do I just swap it out with the existing keyfile or is there a more formal process to update keyfile config aside from manually one by one in launcher. Thanks!

Falcon BMS 4.3.7 / Wine / MacOS Big Sur
Hi, installed and updated Falcon BMS 4.3.7 on Wineskin Winery MacOS Big Sur using the engine WS11WineCS64Bit21.2.0-1 relatively effortlessly, but the game is crashing after the preload splash screen with the logos. Wondering if anyone has any experience with getting this to work? The Wineskin log is as follows if that is helpful. Thanks!

RE: Fresh install from original CD and BMS 4.34 Hangs at Falcon BMS splash screen
What if you just see the splash screen but don’t hear any music (unticked intro movie)?

RE: Alternative launch file besides launcher.exe?
Ah, thanks. Yes, that was the issue with that. I have switched to a 64bit setup now and have made some progress. I can get past the launcher screen but now not past the black and white text screen. Any ideas how to troubleshoot this?

RE: Alternative launch file besides launcher.exe?
Thanks for the info. While that didn’t launch the game for me it did allow me to uncover some errors that could be causing the problem. I am wondering if this is a 32 bit vs 64 bit problem here? These errors mean anything to you?

Alternative launch file besides launcher.exe?
Hey, I was wondering if there is another exe file that would take me direct to the game and bypass the launch config screen because I am having problems with the launch game button being grayed out. Wondering if I can bypass this screen altogether and go direct to game via another exe file? Thanks for your time.
