Good morning! I’m also new to BMS and am downloading the full installer (U1) and the incremental updates (U2-U5) now.
FWIW, I just purchased a copy of Falcon 4.0 from Steam and installed it.
In the FAQ below, there is a link to a ‘Full’ Installer w/ all the updates, but I’m not able to access it because my Account is not ‘activated’, though I went through the process of clicking the link in the email, logging out / back in, etc… Likewise with the U7 update link on the same page.

Also, I’ve been looking around here but can’t seem to find the latest installation process. I’ve seen a couple of Youtube vids and RedIt articles, but am wondering if they may be a bit out of date? Can someone point me to the latest?
Thanks! Looking forward to Falcon BMS! It’s been a while since I’ve played a good Combat Flight Sim. BTW, any chance of BMS Apache Longbow 2.0?
Edit:
Nevermind - I was able to follow Crash Laobi’s video on YouTube and get all the basics installed, incl. the Baltic Campaign. You have to loop through a couple of extra times to apply U3-U5. FWIW, it seemed to work just fine w/ a Steam install of Falcon 4.0 in a custom directory on my drive (w/ BMS also installed into a different directory on the drive). I saw some people were having trouble w/ this in some previous posts here. Not sure I can post links yet, but here’s the YouTube video:
