Good news. I removed everything related to Falcon and reinstalled. The problem has been fixed. Rudder is working. I didn’t need to configure the control stick under setup. BMS just recognized it and responded.
Thanks for your help.

I gave AL a try and sadly it did nothing. Actually, that isn’t quite correct. Under setup in BMS, my throttle was linked to my control slider (which worked). With AL, the throttle was suddenly linked to what should be my rudder control. When I twisted my control stick the throttle responded the way the rudder should. As for the rudder itself, it remains inoperative.
I’m uninstalling everything tomorrow and trying again.

I really appreciate your help and time. I don’t want to start changing the codes simply because that can just create more problems from my end and in no way am I suggesting you are wrong. I’m going to uninstall BMS and reinstall it all over again.
Before I take that step I simply want to ask if installing 4.35 is all I need or do I also need to install 4. 33 as well?
It should be noted that I purchased my new PC about 2 months ago with Win 10 on it. The previous one had Win 8.1 and the controller worked flawlessly with it. I have no idea what happened.

I’m going to try the AL shortly. I hope this fixes the problem
Thanks again.
Hi.
The controller I’m using is:
Sector 7 3 axis controller with 12 buttons and a slider.
My controller does appear in the Windows and ALL features work as they should. The ONLY feature that does not work in BMS setup is the rudder control (rotating my controller left & right).
All drivers are installed for the controller.
I did check the BMS config dir. for “DeviceSorting” and the “read only” is NOT set to on.
I have noticed something but I doubt it could be a problem and that is, I have BMS 4.35 installed over top of 4.33. Would that be an issue?
Hi.
Before I start fiddling with “Alternative Launcher”, can you please brief me on what it does? Also, where do I find it?
@airtex2019
I’m just using a generic controller that worked flawlessly the last time I had BMS running.
@persius
I noticed this in my setup. My trigger is linked to the rudder. Do you know how I can change this setting?
The “input” button 1 = trigger on my control stick.
In the menu I would like to change the , & . to recognize my stick rotation. Any idea how to do this?
As a final note, the two keys , & . do NOTHING when I press them. No rudder movement.

Hi.
In the Win calibration screen it does work (z rotation). All my control features work the way they should except when in BMS setup.
The blue bar IS visible but it does not react when I rotate the controller.
I’m still working on it but I really can’t do more than I have already done.
Hi airtex
Yes, I’ve tried all the options available in that menu and none of them work. This is why I’m lost as to why everything else is working except this option.
Rudder not recognized.
I’m using a generic control stick with 3 axis movement. In BMS I have been in the “setup” section and all of my controls are recognized & work except the rudder. I’m at a loss as to why I’m not able to activate my rudder control while everything else is set and active. My control stick allows me to rotate it clockwise and counterclockwise to manipulate the rudder but this is not working.
I have gone over the docs as well as online videos for configuration but nothing seems to help. I suspect I’m overlooking something very obvious but I have no idea what that may be.
If anybody can toss out a suggestion I would appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks.
Hi guys.
First, I’m sorry for the late reply. I didn’t get any notifications from this site that anybody replied to my post.
Thanks for your suggestions. I’m going to review the manual again about COMMS but your tips now show me what to look for.
Radio and Comms question
I’m having some issues understanding how the radio/comms works in bms. The manual does not make it easy to understand so I’m hoping to find some clarity on this forum.
In simple terms, I would like to understand the difference between radio features on the Left console and the Radio features on the Center Console. When is each one used?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Hi.
I wish I could offer more.
Let me know if it worked for you.
All the best.

My problem was that I had 4.34 installed and then tried to install 4.35 over top of it and that was causing problems. The following fixed the problem.
1. I deleted 4.34 entirely from my computer and deleted the files.
2. I installed 4.35 and everything worked like a charm instantly. I only had to configure my controller through the bms config. page.
Until you mentioned it I didn’t know that there is a 4.35.1 version. If I was to guess what to do, based on my experience I would uninstall 4.35 and do a clean install of 4.35.1 but then again I may be wrong. Logic suggests that you just install 4.35.1 overtop of 4.35.
That’s I have to share I’m afraid.
Good luck at your end.
Victor031:
Yes, I finally got it to work. Once the player informed me that the keys must first be released and then press “P”, it worked.
The screenshot explanation is what I thought it was. I did go to look inside that specific directory but there are no images in there. That’s why I asked to see if I was overlooking anything obvious. Very odd.
The pilot issue is also strange because nothing happens. Alt + C & P does nothing for me. Those are the correct keys, right?
I was looking at my control surfaces from inside the pit and exterior and I don’t see the rudder or elevators moving at all. I’m hoping it’s only in the training missions and not once I start a campaign. I need to be able to yaw.
Hi guys.
I have some small details to share and I hope you will be able to assist in resolving them.
1. I know that in the config/setup page there is an option for “pilot”, but, I’ve noticed in some training videos that the pilot is absent and then appears suddenly. Is there an option for this? There are times that the thigh manual and map come in handy but other times it’s better to have an unobstructed view of the cockpit.
2. In the training missions i.e. HARM I’ve noticed that the Falcons control surfaces i.e rudder, elevators do not move. Is this normal for the training missions? When I’m in the config page all the surfaces are responding to my joystick movements but nothing is happening when I’m in flight.
3. I’ve been working on the HARM training missions and noticed that when I’m in the HAS mode and fire my first missile, the MFD jumps to POS mode and now I need to reset it back to HAS. Is this normal?
4. Each time I try to take a screenshot of the cockpit all I end up with is the image attached below. Any idea why that happens?
Thanks.
Thanks for sharing. I’ll get on it.
