I have never used the shapeways gimbal, so not to sure how it holds up. However, with that said, I do know that some 3d printed things can be made that are as strong as steel.

RE: Kolbys key file
That is not what I said. The keyfiles exist in the Falcon BMS 4.34 user config folder. There are five files there with a “.KEY file” ending. You can load them in a text editor (i use notebook++) to edit when not in game. You can load any key file in game in setup/controllers/load. I highly recommend that you back up these files in your config folder before edit/looking/opening them. I would recommend that you read the docs before you change anything.

RE: Kolbys key file
Kolbe is the person that made the layout for the bms keyfiles and the author of the documents about the keyfiles. You can find the keyfiles in the doc’s folder and other documentation in the The Manual and The Technical Manual.

RE: Thrustmaster tech support
Not really sure what you want, but you might try this link
https://support.thrustmaster.com/en/product/topgunafterburnerffb-en/
This might be all the info they have, after all, this is a 20 year old controller. I was kind of surprised that it was USB instead of gameport.

RE: Falcon 4 set up
BMS is based on the original Falcon 4 simulation, so no Falcon: Allied Force. Now go the Forums [ForumFalcon BMS TopicsDocumentation4.34 BMS Documention release] and get the manual’s. Read Red Dogs short post that explains what each manual does. I would and did start with the BMS-Manual. Purpose: Simulation specific explanation: Installation, Configuration, UI, TEs, Campaigns, Views, Multiplayer. From here there are many paths to follow. Just remember the whole purpose of the sim is to have fun.

RE: Mistake in training manual?
Keep reading, you have a few more pages to see. You also might look in the doc files for “1_README_FIRST_How_to_use_Docs.”

RE: -Ice's Falcon BMS Helios Profile Updated… Again!
It is all about how you want to interface with the simulation. A few people use a keyboard to play with the sim, and a few use a full cockpit. In between, there are many people with sticks, throttles, rudder petals, multiple monitors, input devices, etc. You do not have to understand it, just except that everyone is different and we have different ways of how we do the same thing – having fun flying a great sim.

RE: Noobie looking for help - Helios/Cockpit extraction - is it still supported
Go to the docs folder in the BMS 4.34 folder and there are two documents you need to read. The first one is the BMS - Manual which explains the install and other basic stuff. The second one is BMS - Technical-Manual which explains whats new, controllers, YAME, etc.

RE: Other joystick profiles?
He is asking about programming two different devices to interact with the same programming. I am not sure that it is possible in target for the TM WH throttle and I have no idea what the other stick bases use.

RE: A Guide to Morphine’s Profile for BMS 4.33 and Beyond
It has been many years since I used “Foxy,” but I am pretty sure that you can not use DX number commands.

RE: YAME64 suite
Found this on the min requirements on the BMS home page. Win XP support was dropped in 4.33 Update 3–only Update 1 and 2 will work on XP. This was due to future requirements and lack of OS support.

RE: New installation option for BMS
I am with Hoover that this should rate a sub forum also. I have just started to run Linux Mint and think it would be great to find information for this in one central location.

RE: Help! Monitor screens turn black after load
Philip, stay away from win10 as long as possible. I have had problems from day1 and still have problems with “push” updates changing settings, drivers, not correctly seeing hardware. Security is a joke. If your pit is not having problems, I would leave it alone unless you are totally updating your main sim pit computer with latest and greatest hardware. Lumper

RE: Falcon only showing up on one monitor….
This sounds stupid, but have you gone into display settings in Win10 and made all your other two monitors be in extended mode? I have a gtx1060 and the same three Asus monitors you have and have had windows not allow them to be detected even when configured in the Nvidia Control Panel as one screen in surround. Also, in game setup, graphics you should be able to select a higher quality level then “0” which seems to give me a better outside view.

RE: General discussion
I think he is asking “how do you designate a place for your aircraft to be, like in a hanger, HAS, etc.” when you select to do a ramp start. And while I have no idea, I would think that when you make a TE, there should be a way to do that.

RE: Diference between Tacan and Vor
A TACAN is an electronic ultra high-frequency navigation system for aircraft which gives a continuous indication of bearing and distance from a transmitting station. A VOR is a very high-frequency navigation system which give a continuous indication of bearing. When a VOR is co-located with a DME transmitter then it is called a VORTAC.

RE: Three Monitor Problem Again
I have heard that some of the newest drivers are giving some problems with surround. The latest (April Win 10 update) has some problems also with multi monitor.

RE: Programming TM Warthog HOTAS for F 16
Take a look at the information and profiles that we have here at BMS. They are in the “ForumFalcon BMS TopicsJoysticks & Input Devices Warthog.”
The first two profiles are fairly correct for the stick. -
RE: Landing gear emergency procedures: landing gear is stuck what should I do?
No, it is a one shot use only to lower the gear. It cannot retrack the landing gear.
