@rubbra Thanks, nothing has worked. I’m now going to uninstall BMS and Falcon, and then reinstall to see if that does it. Appreciate the help.

RE: Fixed: Steam VR no per-application menu and BMS launch auto loads into Steam menu
@rubbra thank you, that got rid of the menu. But now when I double-click the BMS launcher .exe Steam VR starts up and all I see is the Steam VR mountains and night scenery. Because I can’t see the BMS launcher, I close Steam VR so I can see the BMS launcher in the Windows Mixed Reality desktop. It’s here that I launch BMS into VR via the Falcon BMS launcher. The VR triangles appear and I see the BMS menu. I start a flight and the game loads but frame rates are a slide show as if two instances of BMS are running. I do not know what is causing the slide show (DCS and other games are fine).

Fixed: My BMS VR is FUBAR and I don't know how to fix it
Edit: I installed BMS inside Falcon 4.0. Don’t do that!
Hi - I mentioned this in the HP forum but am opening it up to a wider audience as I think it’s a Steam VR issue.
BMS in VR was working before I connected BMS to Steam as a VR game. I did this after reading about performance tweaks and watching a few YT videos. (Note BMS is installed on a different drive to SteamVR).
I linked the Falcon BMS 437.exe on my desktop to my steam library and checked the box making it available in Steam VR.
The problem I encounter now is when I open up the BMS launcher on my desktop (and enable VR), the Steam library automatically opens up in VR. If I open “Falcon BMS 437” from within the Steam library, the game launches in the background behind the Steam VR menu. It’s at this point that another “Falcon BMS 437” desktop launchers starts and I have two instances of BMS running. If I load into a flight, the Steam menu remains in front and the frame rates are a slid show.
I’ve removed Falcon BMS 437 from the Steam VR library, but when I start the BMS launcher, Steam VR immediately starts again.
I’ve deleted and reinstalled SteamVR (beta) and the same thing happens. The only thing I haven’t tried is installing Steam VR on the same drive as BMS but I see no way to do that and there is no method in the properties that will move it to another drive.
I’m completely flummoxed at this point and don’t even know how to get back to the start when VR was working without BMS being in the Steam library.
I would love to get some step by step advice on how to resolve this. Thank you!

RE: Fixed: Steam VR no per-application menu and BMS launch auto loads into Steam menu
@rubbra thanks for the info. I added what I think is BMS (Falcon BMS.exe) to the steam library.
I then went into the steam VR settings and couldn’t find anything that has a tickbox. Now when I click on the launcher Steam VR automatically launches and the game launches behind it. And Steam VR is warning me “failed to load input bindings for VR dashboard” despite my having the controller on. I have no means to control it.
I then close Steam VR, launch BMS through WMR on the desktop, and Steam VR automatically starts up again, complete with that warning above.
I have no idea what is going on, everything worked fine this morning and it only changed after I started messing around with the Steam VR settings after watching Fish44’s YouTube video. I’ve retraced my steps and the same thing happens in other VR games including DCS.
Edit: uninstall and reinstall didn’t fix the game not loading. What I think is happening is somehow Steam VR is causing the game to reload after “loading”. I say this because when it does load into VR it’s incredibly choppy and frame rates are non existent
Edit 2: I’ve removed Falcon BMS 4.37 from Steam VR and now every time I enable VR in the launcher, Steam VR automatically starts and shows the VR game menu which I can’t get rif of.

Fixed: Steam VR no per-application menu and BMS launch auto loads into Steam menu
EDIT: My error was installing BMS inside Falcon 4.0. Don’t do that!
Hi - I started encountering a problem where after I launch BMS and VR is enabled, it auto-boots into the steam VR menu (not Windows Mixed Reality’s weird garden). As I cannot launch the game from the steam VR menu I have to close the steam VR menu to get into the WMR room. From there I am able to “launch” BMS from the BMS launcher. This boots me into the game menu but as soon as I launch a flight, the game crawls to its knees as if there are two instances of VR running. I used to be able to launch BMS without it booting into the Steam VR menu and everything worked fine. It was only after I went hunting for the video per application settings in Steam that things changes.
Also, I do not see Falcon BMS as an option in the per-application menu of Steam’s VR settings. It exists while I’m in VR, but not when the game is closed, therefore I cannot adjust any rendering settings.
I don’t know what I’ve done to cause this situation , and would love to get some advice.Thank you,

Returning player - cannot configure input devices
Hello - returning to BMS after some years away. I cannot configure my TM Warthog throttle and stick, and my rudder pedals wheel brakes seem like they are hard coded to roll and pitch! Every time I think I’ve configured, I hop in game and either the throttle or the stick isn’t reacting. My TM brake pedals are configured to roll and pitch no matter what I try, and that includes setting everything else to ‘keyboard’. I’ve searched the web, found a few tips here and there but none of them help resolve my issues.
Thanks,
Len
