<p>Gentlemen.<br /><br />It’s time to keep us serious now, Gentlemen.<br /><br />I am with <strong>the</strong> Gorn. <br /><strong>Please never forget what war really means and is made of, and who always pay its blood fierce bills - innocents, women, children.</strong><br /><br />And we have currently a huge lot of theaters to be happy for and have fun with too. <br />Until the real great brand new Falcon will be released, at least - but this will be another story soon.<br /><br />With best regards.</p>

<p>@Seifer <br />Thanks a lot. Not just for this update, but because you’re keeping on being frank and honest.<br />About the release date… <em>“Chistmas will come at its own day, not before nor after”.</em><br /><br />With best wishes to you and all the devs. and the beta testing crew, and best regards.</p>

Good morning, Gentlemen.

The day has come.
Here (link text) you can find and download from the first three custom TEs I updated for the current version of Taiwan.

Some advise before leaving you to the fun: I had to accept, and tolerate, some compromise to not waste the whole tactical assets and consequently the purposes of these missions. Well, I hope I succeeded in that. Besides, it could be interesting to test what happens if the tactical choices go wrong and you must fix the mess you made… a kind of trouble all of us experiment and struggle against in our real lives, I guess, no matter of what our respective jobs are.
Important. In “Domino” you can test if Vipers (but other planes as well) are really able to face the PRC last generation fighters.
Please consider to fly the missions each from the red side too, I think this could help you in refining your tactical skills. Or this was another goal I tried to accomplish, at least.
Be patient and good with me, and please forgive those errors I made - but please give me some feedback on those aniway, I would appreciate a lot.
Capito?
Ah, and there will be more others to come, only give me the time I need to (there will be a little talk for the theater devs. apart at the end of this job). Where are those blessed PRC and Taiwanese 'copters in the db, by the way? I need them. Bah.

Have always fun, and don’t try that at home. Ever.
Don’t positively want to hear any wifey’s (or the like) complain about.

With best regards.

@wurminatorza
Sure, of course. But without any luck. Thanks again for your interest.

To all.
Guess that something went corrupted in that specific part of instructions in my installation, because all the remaining options and commands seemed working fine.

So, after the last Windows cumulative update occurred yesterday, I decided to attempt the last try.
I have wiped out all the stuff and reinstalled Falcon and my favourite theaters from scratch.
If all will work fine, so nice then and we will be happy for that.
But if not, I won’t take care of it anymore, and hell to that.

I will keep you informed further.

With best regards.

And the best is still to come… a sim full of surprises.
As always.
Happy Birthday, BMS.
And thank you so much, all of you dev. folks.

With best compliments and regards.

Good evening, Gentlemen.

I succeeded with acting my plan, as seems.

Was Windows in need to be fixed? Or my Falcon installation (less probable, though, given that I installed it three times from scratch)? Who knows.

It works. In full. We all (I, me and myself) are so happy.

@Seifer, @airtex2019, @WurminatorZA, @hoover, @malpaso, @Icer (hope I forgot to quote none, here, or I will be in deep trouble): thanks a huge lot for your kind assistance.

One more experience done, with a happy ending well deserved, I think.

With best regards to all.

Good morning, Gentlemen.

Here is the news: I managed to solve all my issues with TrackIR.

Thanks to the careful, patient assistance given by e-mail to a NaturalPoint technician in these last days, I had to wipe out literally any entries, one by one, of TIR in my PC/system, reinstall all the stuff from scratch, et voilà… the utility is back.
And it’s confirmed: the latest software/drivers released by NaturalPoint (5.4.2) is good in Windows 11 Pro too.

Hope no one can make my experience, but in that unfortunate case I am giving below the procedure that helped me to get out from almost a nightmare:

"1. Unplug the TrackIR from your computer.
2. Remove TrackIR from add/remove programs.
3. Remove NaturalPoint Drivers from add/remove programs (this is the device driver).
4. Delete NaturalPoint folder from Program Files x86.
5. Delete NaturalPoint folder from %APPDATA% location (APPData is a hidden folder). If you have tracking profiles you wish to keep, please back up this folder instead.

-C:\Users[Your.Username]\AppData\Roaming\NaturalPoint.

6. Open regedit.exe as an administrator. Please be careful not to change other items than the ones listed below.
7. Search for and rename labeled as “NaturalPoint” to “NaturalPoint-00”. The default location for this is Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\NaturalPoint
   IMPORTANT: I DELETED ALL OF THEM INSTEAD.
   The choice is yours here.
8. (If there are any other old references to NaturalPoint or TrackIR from the older version of the TrackIR within the registry, you may want to rename those as well.)
9. Reboot your PC/system.
10. Download the latest installer from NaturalPoint website.
    -The latest download will also have their latest USB Drivers.
11. Right-click and install as an administrator. At the beginning, you will be prompted to install the device driver. Make sure this gets installed. It is important that you get prompted for this.
12. Locate the Track IR 5 Icon on your desktop, right-click on it and select ‘Run as Administrator’. (This only needs to be done the first time.)"

And that’s all. At last!
(@MaxWaldorf : thanks a lot for having located my topic correctly here. Would you kindly sign it as “Solved”, now?)

Thank you all so much for your kind attention and hints, and with best regards.

Ahem… ATC, we are jammed here, as seems, so be good and don’t ask what was our problem after

Why this chap has to be so difficult to be handled when in AAR, bah

With best regards.

Good morning, Gentlemen.

To all who may be interested:

I am going to release two (there will be more though) custom TEs I created for the new Taiwan this weekend, and in one of them you can test just that matter with different kind of aircraft, some F-16 variants comprised.

Just hope I will succed in bringing you a “platform” (I don’t think it could be defined a “range”) useful to see and test some new things.
Be prepared, then.

Thanks a lot to all of you for the interesting discussion and your points.

With best regards to all.

@jackal said in MidEast theater 128 segments (for 4.35 U3):

But… I’m wondering if this could be due to the U3 compatibility or another reason. And if I could solve those issues with Mission Commander.
What do you guys think, please?

The mission commander has a unit export-import function. Perhaps this function can help.

Well… that function actually didn’t help, in my case at least.
But your hint was helpful the same, because it made me think about how to use MC at my advantage.
So I was able to fix those two (in)famous TEs of mine both.
Here you all go… link text
There you can download my updated version of “Operation Telic II” and “The Day of the Jackal” from.

Please forgive me in case of always possible errors or issues of any kind (please let me know about by PM).
And have fun, most of all.

With many thanks to you, @SpbGoro , and best regards to all.

@MaxWaldorf said in 4.36U3- carrier arresting wires bug:

@drtbkj even with that it wasn’t a great experience…

Different stroke for different folks, Max. It’s the whole “flare to land,squat to pee” thing

Really?
How interesting habits do you have when in flight, Fra’… I’d better to keep well in mind that in any case.

With best regards.

@lew0984 said in 8K texture enhancement for F-16 block 50 (BMS 4.35 U3):

@Jackal yep. But it can’t be texture related because I get the same in the stock pit as well?

Me don’t. All is working fine and with precision with the stock ones though, as it always should instead. Having noticed just that, here I told you what’s happening.
Weird, huh?
Well. Please let me/us know more further, if you kindly would to.

With best regards.

@MaxWaldorf
Fine. I was just awaiting this update.

And well done once again, dear Goro!

With best regards.

Just a little notation, and not for criticizing-at-all-costs’ sake:
does it only happens to me that when at 90% of throttle (and since it until AB) its indicator is firmly pointing at 12 o’clock, then far off scale?

With best regards.

@csakis said in 8K texture enhancement for F-16 block 50 (BMS 4.35 U3):

The textures look great, but I have horrible performance issues with TrackIR when I move my head around the cockpit, everything freezes, especially if I look left and right. No smoothness at all. I have a 3070Ti GPU, so that should not be an issue. Is there any setting that I need to change?

Hhmm… from the few ones I experienced in years of using TIR and nVdia cards, it could be more likely related to a TIR issue, more than your card settings - and a 3070 is very good in rendering, by the way.
Told this at risk to seem until too obvious, but the same… you have already tried to see if this might happen with the stock set of textures, haven’t you?

In alternative (and if already tested as above): what your specific custom nVidia settings are? Could you post here a shot taken from nVidia Control Panel, maybe?

With best regards.

@Dee-Jay said in No Tornado is flyable after 4.36 U3?:

@Jackal Cool you solved you issue.
But I didn’t understood what was the issue.
Could be useful to know for ppl having the same roubles.

Neither I am, dear friend, it’s the very first time I’m facing something of this kind in long years.
The few I can report about it’s only this.
A few days ago I tried to create a simple custom TE in KTO with Vipers, Tornados and Eagles on the Blues - nothing complicated, nor exceptional in any way - and suddenly found out that all the Tornados’ flight plans went “porked” with absurd speeds at any waypoint, making that TE unflyable and BMS stopping it loading and going to CTD.
Fixing manually the waypoints made no result.
So tried to make similar TEs and load some campaign in other theaters, just to see if that might be replicated, and so it went - in the same way, I mean.
And the very same happened with all the other theaters above, except for Balkans OFM and two other ones.

Thanks a lot for your interest once again, and with best regards.

@Dee-Jay said in No Tornado is flyable after 4.36 U3?:

I you are not interested in flying F-16, maybe you are not flying Tornado only (?) So …
I don’t know what to tell you … if some ppl advertise BMS as a multi aircraft simulator, they should take active actions in testings and maintaining ALL aircraft before each release and delay it if some aircraft are not fully functional to the risk of pissing off part of the community.
I can’t help you nor check what happened since BMS is not more on my computer fir now.

Max seems to have no issues. What about some other ppl?
Do you firmly confirm that you try a frech install from scratch using standard KTO theater? webolded text

Dear mate, thanks for this new reply, but please let me make some due clarifications.
First, what made you think I wouldn’t interested in flying Vipers? I haven’t told that for sure.
I am a (proud) member of this present Community, - since 2011!, as I was of FreeFalcon’s in those several years before, as you sure will remember and know and remember you too well since then - just to fly a plane, in a reliable simulation, as real as it may ever get and making it a new experience every day by day since the first one, that is when I flew Falcon 4.0 for the first time.
But, this apart, “my” favourite plane has been, is still nowadays and will always be the Panavia Tornado - and that’s a fact, made sure by that I still have the first simulation ever released about her, and it was deep love since the first flight, as for the Viper, but for different reasons, due the far different way of flying and combat, clearly more fit than any other planes to my own likes and tactical point of view.
Second, please be assured on that my issues weren’t absolutely related to a mod, a plane or whatever else on earth involving the Tornado or her cockpit, because all the related BMS stuff is “working” well - any possible limitations well in mind.
Last, I’m taking good note of the objective reasons because it’s not absolutely a fault of yours if you can’t currently give me any aid.
So, please believe me, I understand all that well, and I’m thanking you instead for your attention, but - as I referred in a previous post of mine addressed to MaxWaldorf, I managed to solve all, involving all theaters ecxpect the few ones I referred there, on my little own reinstalling Falcon successfully after a pair of attempts.
What I was trying to do - unsuccessfully - was to unveiling the hidden reasons why that may happened: this was the reason because I would have liked, way more than demanded, the devs’. interest and precious aid and opinions about.
Maybe I was wrong.
Anyway it went, I want to thank you for all. And I give my apologies, to you and all, for this long speech, but I felt obliged to be absolutely clear on me and my reasons, to avoid to be misunderstood. Not this time, nor in this circumstance.

With best regards.

@ccc1tw said in 4.36U3- carrier arresting wires bug:

the bug seems noted in U2 as well:

AI ac landing on carrier > hooked arresting wire only stretched a very limited length, and the ac stops abruptly. after few seconds, the ac jumps straight up into air , falls back to the deck, then slowly taxi away.

i test it on KTO, CVN-70, with F14A and F18C.

Please feel free to believe me or not, but it happened to me before in the previous versions and with different carriers also.
Explaination: boh?
Let’s wait and see, then…

With best regards.

I’d never flown Kuriles before, but got into it least night and flew it for 6 hours! Highly recommended.

Warm welcome to our Club, Fra’, then.
