Currently I am still in 4.35 and want to update to 4.37 with the latest fixes.
Do I just download the 4.37 installer than update with all the revisions?,
or
Do I have to delete my old 4.35 folder, and start anew with 4.37 then latest fixes.

I use to have my range knob binded to my Virpil CM2 so that I could zoom from 1x to 4x quickly in the TGP.
However for some reason I cannot bind that now.
From the Avionics and Radar page in the Alternative Launcher, I click on assign and move the knob back and forth and it doesn’t bind.
In the Virpil configuration is is button 15 and 16 when you move the knob. (that should be within the button limit of faclon.
Any ideas how to bind them.
Same issue with the Virpil Flaps lever. I use to have it bind to the gears toggle. But for some reason it doesn’t bind now…
There was a post by someone back in 4.35 and later updated for 4.36 that had a large number of usermade missions that went well with the training missions.
It had a mission that was easy, medium and hard flights and missions for the F18. The were very well done.
Does anyone know if these missions are available for 4.37.
Also is there a spot where ppl can upload and download usermade missions. I can make my own missions, but since I made them, I know apprx where and when the enemy AI will appear which takes away some of the mystery of flying them.
Also, has anyone posted usermade mission specific to some of the theaters. (i.e. if you have the Mideast theater, usermade missions for Persia, or Israel…
for some reason none of my buttons on the CM3 throttle is mapping to the alternative launcher in BMS. My joystick is mapped, but not the throttle.
All buttons on the VPC Configuration tool lights as per normal, but when I press a command in the alternative launcher and press the button I want, none are being assigned. Even trying low number buttons (>32) don’t map
The only thing that works is the throttle position,
Re: Virpil CM3 Throttle inverted axis
For some reason my virpil CM3 axis got is backwards, in that when the throttle is at 0, BMS throttle is at 100 % and when the throttle is at 100, the BMS throttle shows 0%,
I opened the configuration software and clicked on the Inversion button and saved. I had to recalibrate but now although the virpil configuration software shows the input source going from 0 to 100%, the Axis logical (output) only hovers between 49 and 51%.
I tried checking the setting the inversion for rY and not checking the inversion for rX, This shows that inversion is false for rX and true for rY, but BMS still has the setting reversed.
If I check both settings to inversion, then both inversion shows true and the axis output is between 49 and 50%,
Any help with this,I am using 4.35 as I have a number of training missions and don’t think they are compatible with 4.36.
Any help would be appreciated,
I want to program a button on my hotas to switch missile types (i.e. Aim-120 to Aim-9x) with one button.
I am in AA mode with the missile selected is the AIM-120. I have programed to my hotas the NWS A/R DISC MSL Step Swtich. However when i press it I get Guns. If I press it again nothing happens unless I press AA again and it goes back to the Aim 120
I know there my not be a button like that in real life, but I am not a real pilot and want every advantage against the AI .
Also, I assume that if I am in AG mode, I won’t get the next type of bomb (i,e from MK 82 to GBU-XXX
Is there a way to do this
Can I ask what mfg and model you guys use to get the above.
And how hard is it to program…Is it just a matter of downloading a user file on DCS or BMS (I don’t have the skill or understanding of programming to write a LUA or any type of compter script).
thanks guys…
When you say profile,how easy is it to program. Is just a matter of working with the falcon BMS setup screen or the alternative launcher, then pressing a corresponding button for it to be recognized, or is it more in depth than that.
I just saw this thing and looks really good to program a number of short cuts (like using it as a ICP and other functions). Does anyone have one of these devices, and if so, how hard is it to have it work with 4.35 or 4.36.
Although there are others with less button and less expensive, but I like the 32 buttons. I figure I can use this in falcon or other flight sims as well.

I saw this one on the BMS forum. https://forum.falcon-bms.com/topic/17620/streamdeck-profil-falcon-bms-4-35?_=1669330833686, but don’t know what model this is. nor how old it is compared to what is new out there.
<p>I want to program my hotas so that when I am using the maverick I can zoom in and out the view in the tgp using one of my rotary dials.<br />I thought it was ctl f3 or f4, but when I press the combination it doesn’t jump to anything so I may have deleted the command or it was never assigned…<br /><br />However I can’t find the key command for that…<br /><br />Does any one know what it is…<br /><br />Thanks<br /></p>
Are there commands that I can program on my HOTAS to switch between the various radar submodes
i.e RWS / TWS 30x60 etc etc
I am trying to set my autopilot so that it will fly a circle without input from me
I have the plane in a bank (say 30 degrees) what is the setup for to accomplish this
Do I enter the bank, then select the ROLL HDG SEL then the ATT HOLD?
With my current setup I have mapped already:
In the process of adding in the voice command to take care of Tower, AWAC communications
Since I still have button left over,what buttons/function would you also consider essential to map to the Hotas.
I am looking to install a voice command software that will allow me to speak to the tower, AWACS, and my flight.
I was looking at AVCS4 but don’t know if that is compatible with other flight sims such as DCS or IL1946, BOS etc etc…
So what is the most versatile,(and easiest to setup and use) voice command for BMS / DCS. IL2 series and other flight sims…
How do you send a private message to someone on these new forum?
I already saw that…but it is never as easy as it is shown…there is always something hidden that isn’t shown that makes the difference between success and failure… (I should trademark that)
I downloaded the Vjoy and joystick gremlin,Now I have to learn how to work with those programs…
Something tells me that Brain Surgery would be easier…
I have the Virpil CM3 thorttle and I am trying to map the buttons and rotation devices to the BMS key map using the Alternative launcher.
Now I know I need to get the joystick germlin and Vjoy for the buttons that are marked as 33 and higher, But I was just trying to assign the range knob. In the Virpil Tester program the knob will show as 02 and 03 as I rotate upward and downward, Yet after clicking on the Range Knob Assign button in the Alternative launcher it doesn’t registar. (Same for the knob that identifies as 14 and 15 in the Virpil test program - doesn’t register in the alternative launcher).
Dos anyone know how to program these knobs…
(i know this may sound basic, but don’t want to pooch these items).
I installed the throttle, then calibrated, saved the calibration, then saved the profile. I then loaded that profile and then disconnected the Throttle.
I then installed the joystick and calibrated, saved the calibration, then saved the profile. I then loaded that profile
I exited the software,
How do you get the joystick and throttle in the games…
Do I
(Do I need to load the profiles and have them running in the background (like some head tracking programs?), or just as long as they are connected to the computer,I should be good to go.
I am pretty sure I have to install the software first as it needs to calibrate…
Also wondering if I add the Joystick Gremlin program if anything special is needed to do as well.
