Gibraltar

With excitement and pride, I present you this Theatre, a stunningly detailed environment that spans Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Algeria, France, and the UK. A fresh perspective on Falcon BMS, emphasizing the complex geopolitical situations of the region through a fully engaging campaign that submerges players in the midst of a conflict between Morocco and Algeria. Driven by rising tensions surrounding the Polisario Front, the campaign features demanding missions and dynamic confrontations, ensuring that each sortie challenges your skills and strategic thinking. In version 4.37.6.1 two new campaigns have been added, along with new tactical engagements (TEs).

Con emoción y orgullo, os presento este Teatro, un entorno asombrosamente detallado que abarca España, Portugal, Marruecos, Argelia, Francia y el Reino Unido. Una nueva perspectiva de Falcon BMS, que hace hincapié en las complejas situaciones geopolíticas de la región a través de una campaña que sumerge a los pilotos en medio de un conflicto entre Marruecos y Argelia. Impulsada por las crecientes tensiones en torno al Frente Polisario, la campaña presenta misiones exigentes y enfrentamientos dinámicos, que garantizan que cada salida ponga a prueba tus habilidades y tu pensamiento estratégico. En la versión 4.37.6.1 dos nuevas campañas han sido añadidas, junto con nuevos enfrentamientos tácticos (TEs).

In my efforts to update POH and gather insights from various developers to make it compatible with the latest BMS version, I encountered difficulties and was unsuccessful. As a result, I started from scratch using the existing POH terrain, and it now appears to be functioning.

I need some assistance with testing it before the release. If you are interested, please contact me privately. Once the project, which I have named “Gibraltar,” is stable and complete, I will release it.

The theatre will include all the countries and armed group that existed in POH.

En mis intentos por actualizar POH y reunir información de diferentes desarrolladores para hacerlo compatible con la última versión de BMS, no tuve éxito. Así que comencé desde cero utilizando el terreno existente del POH, y ahora parece estar funcionando.

Necesito ayuda para probarlo antes de publicarlo, así que si estás interesado, escríbeme por privado. Una vez que el proyecto, al que he llamado “Gibraltar”, sea estable será publicado.

El teatro incluirá todos los países y grupo armado del POH.

Coincidentally, the U5 release came out the same day, so the theatre has been promptly updated to include it.

• Full setup for 4.37.5
• Incremental, for if you already have installed a previous full setup.

Happy flying!

We’re excited to announce the upcoming release of a new update for Gibraltar! This update brings several fixes and incorporates fantastic contributions from Micro (Charts) and Radium (Chinook). Additionally, enhanced Tacview support has been made possible thanks to Pegasus, who provided guidance, and Erin, the developer from Tacview, who included Gibraltar in their latest beta release.

This update will also introduce two new campaigns:

• Spanish Gibraltar (95% complete)
• Reconquista (20% complete)

In these campaigns, you will have the freedom to choose your preferred faction. For example, in Reconquista, you can play as the Portuguese, Spanish, French, or the Caliphate. However, for the best experience, I recommend starting with the “Green” side. Some of these campaigns are not designed to reflect the full-scale war you may be accustomed to. Instead, the intention is to offer a progressively challenging experience, gradually increasing in complexity and engagement.

We would love to hear from you, and if you would like to contribute, feel free to write me a private message.

Nos complace anunciar el próximo lanzamiento de una nueva actualización para Gibraltar. Esta actualización trae varias correcciones e incorpora fantásticas contribuciones de Micro (Charts) y Radium (Chinook). Además, se ha mejorado la compatibilidad con el Tacview gracias a Pegasus, que nos ha proporcionado orientación, y a Erin, el desarrollador de Tacview, que ha incluido Gibraltar en su última versión beta.

Esta actualización también introducirá dos nuevas campañas:

• Gibraltar Español (95% completada)
• Reconquista (20% completada)

En estas campañas, tendréis la libertad de elegir vuestra facción preferida. Por ejemplo, en la Reconquista, podréis jugar como portugueses, españoles, franceses o califas. Sin embargo, para disfrutar de la mejor experiencia, os recomiendo que empezéis por el bando «Verde». Algunas de estas campañas no están diseñadas para reflejar la guerra a gran escala a la que podéis estar acostumbrados. En su lugar, la intención es ofrecer una experiencia progresiva, aumentando gradualmente en complejidad.

Nos gustaría leeros y como ya sabéis, si queréis contribuir, no dudéis en escribirme un mensaje privado.

Thank you guys for your appreciation!

Friendly reminder that if you encounter any issues, private message me. I want to keep this thread out of bug reports.

In other news, I will soon release two new campaigns, which include Spain; it is probably one of the countries most desired to fly with, and I want to do a proper job on it. Will keep you posted on the other thread.

Share your ideas, wishlists, and constructive feedback here!
We will review regularly and upvote your suggestions and feedback.

Do:

• Be specific (e.g., “Add 401st Tactical Fighter Wing”).
• Explain the why (e.g., “The wing was historically based in Torrejon near Madrid for a period of time”).
• Reference or similar features in other theatres if applicable.

Avoid:

• Vague requests (“Make the theatre better”).
• Demands without reasoning.
• Off-topic discussions (use bug threads for crashes/glitches).

Submission Format:

**Type:** Aircraft  
**Suggestion:** Add 401st TFW F-16A Block 15 (1987 livery)  
**Details:** Key unit during Cold War; reference [Rebasing the 401st](https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/citations/ADA437312).  

Post your bug reports for BMS Theatre Gibraltar here! Include details like:

• Description of the bug (what happened vs. what should happen).
• Steps to Reproduce (if known).
• BMS Version (e.g., 4.37, in a future 4.38).
• Theatre Version (e.g., Gibraltar 4.37.6).
• Screenshots/Logs (if available).

Example format

**Bug:** [Brief summary]  
**Description:** [Detailed explanation]  
**Steps to Reproduce:** [How to trigger the bug]  
**Version:** BMS 4.37.7 / Theatre 4.37.7 
**Evidence:** [Screenshot/log link]

PS: Duplicate reports will be merged. I will prioritise fixes based on severity and reproducibility.

Greatly appreciate you for checking all airports and strips, I will fix them for our next release.

PS: For DOMINGO (DGO) 073X and MARTIN (MAR) 073X these are in real life so, I am glad there is no conflict between them in BMS.

Great work @101-Spyder and Dust, may I include your work in our main thread?

It is great to see people collectively working on Gibraltar! I wish to hear feedback from all of you so we can continue perfecting it.

just my 2c, the two new campaigns could use more ground units…

Hi @ccc1tw could you clarify what you mean? Are you referring to more SAMs, mechanised units, armored forces, or a mix of everything?

• Spanish Gibraltar isn’t designed as a total war campaign as its primary focus is Air-to-Air combat.

• Reconquista follows a blitzkrieg-style first phase, where the allied forces launch a surprise attack. Aircraft, supplies, and ground forces take time to reposition and reach the frontline. dev leak – Phase II will introduce more ground units for both sides, shifting the focus toward terrain-based combat while still maintaining Air-to-Air engagements. – end leak

Downloaded the 'Gibraltar 4.37.6.1 Full Setup ’ zip file.
It has 2 BIN files but no EXE file.

Why is that ?

Hello @regev it seems to me as your AV has quarantined those files, my suggestion is to disable your AV and reenable once the download and installation has been completed.

We sometimes forget that BMS is just a simulator. While we all agree that English is the standard language in aviation, not everyone speaks it fluently. So, do we close the door on those who don’t? Or do we welcome them by providing localised texts to help them engage with the sim?

Excluding non-English speakers only limits the community. BMS already has a steep learning curve, why make it even more complicated? Other flight simulators have done an excellent job integrating multiple languages, making their sims more accessible to a broader audience. There is no reason BMS shouldn’t strive for the same.

I supported Apolo’s work on Gibraltar Theatre to give vPilots an opportunity, not an obstacle.

About LPPT (lisbon airport) it will be improved to have the main terminal? I not want/need a detailed representation of it, but some building there to in some way represent a more realistic of the biggest and main airport in Portugal will be cool. Thank You!

@stavka I don’t see why not, I wish the theatre to become as real as possible with the tools we are given.

hello where can I find the Gibraltar Theater ?

Bonsoir @coyotte As told by Oak here, Downloads > Gibraltar 4.37.6.1 Full Setup and click on one of the Download options, make sure you unzip all the files and then execute the file with .exe extension.

I have the same issue, that I cannot change the skin in game. When I click the button in the Loadout screen, nothing happens.

@Tomahawk, ok, I thought he meant the actual skin change button. Check your private messages. Thanks.

@oakdesign could you do me a favour and do the WDP airbases for the theatre?

Hello Maru. First of all, thank you for the great theater. We’ve been flying in it for a few weeks now. So far, everything has been going very well. However, after the update, we can no longer change skins. Is there a solution for this without having to do another update? I hope that they continue to develop the theater and that they will be thanked by all users.
Regards
Hunter

Thanks! @Hunter.-0 As far as I am concerned, nothing has changed on that regard. Sent you a PM to tackle the issue you are facing.

@stavka said in Gibraltar Theatre for 4.37.6:

It is possible in a future update to have the Azores islands much more to the left having the correct real distance (between Azores and Portugal)?

Thank You

I will have to study it. Unfortunately, BMS has limitations. One of them is the lack of documented procedures. I based my work on trial and error, you can imagine how much time that requires. It would be nice to have a custom size for the theatre and include the Azores with realistic distances. Right now, the only probable solution is to shift the whole theatre or remove these islands, which I wouldn’t like to do. I promise you to have a look at it in the future once .38 is released and hopefully, more information on theatre creation is publicly available.

@101-Spyder please do not be confused, there is no dispute, Jackals comment here was solely to inform that his content was removed. The content was not internal of the theatre, thus the versions you are currently running remain unaffected. Jackals Tactical Engagement missions, named Daesh Campaign, were added as extra content and immediately deleted upon request. That said, I thank Jackal for his fantastic work for the theatre and wish him the best.

For future reference, if you wish to contribute anything that you want to be an internal part of the theatre, please be aware that I have full discretion over it. This includes editing unrealistic elements, fixing any issues, and publishing it as I see fit.
