RE: [UNOFFICIAL] Running BMS on Linux/WINE with opentrack HOWTO
@Ferde OK… this is weird… I now have working checkboxes!
My hypothesis is that I briefly tried wine 9.5 and that maybe installed some mono newer version? Because I’m now back to 7.22

RE: [UNOFFICIAL] Running BMS on Linux/WINE with opentrack HOWTO
@Xeno Good to know. My install works already with mono, although not the launcher boxes.
But that improvement will probably help with weapon delivery planner and helios and, as you mentioned earlier, even voice commands! -
RE: [UNOFFICIAL] Running BMS on Linux/WINE with opentrack HOWTO
OK, I spent too many hours trying a new install and several ways of installing dependencies with no joy. If I have dotnet 4.8 neither the alternative launcher or the bms control server work.
Out of hope I’ve tried again my working install and run bms control in another way and this time it worked!!! It happened the same to me that some buttons work and others don’t. I guess this has to do with conflicting shortcuts with Linux? I will try rebinding those controls as you suggested to be sure.
Edit: yes, that was it. After rebinding the buttons that weren’t working I have fully working MFDs

@wsy Thanks. Will make some tries.

RE: [UNOFFICIAL] Running BMS on Linux/WINE with opentrack HOWTO
@wsy Thanks. Curiosly I have it running without dotnet I thought it might be that.
Last question (I hope): Do you remember which version/s of dotnet you installed? 4.8?

RE: [UNOFFICIAL] Running BMS on Linux/WINE with opentrack HOWTO
@wsy Oooh… good to know, thanks!
I tried it and got connection but no images on the MFDs and the buttons didn’t work either. If it works for you then it means it’s something I miss in my install.
What method did you use to install BMS?

RE: News from the frontlines... 4.37 U4
@Seifer said in News from the frontlines... 4.37 U4:
Hey folks, it’s been a while… a long while. You have not heard much from me lately, the main reason is because after a series of launches, @tbuc took over the Release Master place (and thanks for that, because I needed it badly!). U4 is in good hands.
Not that long. Just 3-4 Falcon weeks. Seriously, thank you for the hard work and the updates.

We are also planning some new aircrafts (red side…)
You mean AI, or playable?
I have the same question

RE: [UNOFFICIAL] Running BMS on Linux/WINE with opentrack HOWTO
Have anyone tried and succeed using some external screen for the MFDs? Hellios, android tablet and the like.
I’ve done a couple of tries with no-joy, but I’ve never used them on Windows before, so I’m not fully sure if it’s my fault or it’s harder/impossible on Linux.

RE: How I got Falcon BMS on Linux
@c-los I’ve never done it, so I don’t know how it’s done, but I know you can add Steam to Lutris.
Other option can be installing protontrinks, which is winetricks for steam-proton games. There you can see your games installed with proton, select them and run winetricks for them. You can also do other actions on that prefix.
Edit: there is another option. You can point the Lutris wine prefix to the Falcon4’s proton one. Maybe you also need to select the Flacon4 folder? Not fully sure about this.
-
RE: [UNOFFICIAL] Running BMS on Linux/WINE with opentrack HOWTO
@Xeno There’s a program called protontricks that is basically winetricks for proton and detects all your steam installs, including the ones added manually. Maybe that can help you with the proton prefix.

RE: Kneeboards for simpit builders
Rocketbook and similar erasable notebooks work great for me for this.
They really work and are erasable as long as you don’t press the pen too hard. You can even draw the documents “permanent” lines and writings with a non-gel pen, so they stay there and won’t get erased by accident and then use the gel pens for the mission-specific details that change from mission to mission.

RE: Santa's wishlist for BMS
Considering the future new terrain:
Being able to fly under bridges.
More love to the A-10, since flying low will look better than ever -
RE: [SOLVED] Winwing Orion 2 on Linux... only 80 buttons detected
@hoover That’s as far as my knowledge goes.

RE: [SOLVED] Winwing Orion 2 on Linux... only 80 buttons detected
@hoover Have you tried, on terminal, evtest ?
It will give you a list of detected devices and you select the one you are interested to try and will show you the axis you are moving and the buttons you are pressing.IIRC Linux uses js, that is old and ev, which is the new “input” version. Maybe js has a limit on button detection? If evtest recogninzes the “missing” buttons, that’s the issue.
