    • Logitech X-52 - throttle "mouse wheel" can't zoom in/out anymore

      Hi,
      I am having no luck trying to restore original settings for the mouse wheel located on the throttle. When I first installed BMS few days ago I was able to control the view zoom with it. Afterwards I was messing around with key binds and axis setting etc and now it does nothing when I scroll it.
      I mean it is physycally working, it can scroll text in mission briefing for example, but in flight it no longer zooms in or out.
      I have tried to unbind the zoom from mouse wheel back to keyboard, then back to mouse wheel, but nothing happens. Even the blue bar for testing the axis doesn’t move. Anyone knows what I am doing wrong?

    • RE: Please help! Launcher has disappeared

      Actually I haven’t started yet. Thank you so much. The file was indeed in my antivirus quarantine list (I am using Avast). I’ve set it as an exception and BMS is back in action! This advice has saved me a lot of hassle.

    • Please help! Launcher has disappeared

      Hi everybody. After many years of abstinence I could not stay away from the Vipers anymore and got F4 at GOG and installed BMS 4.35. i can’t believe how good this is! Well done to the team!
      I was happily re-learning to fly, going through training missions and setting up my key binds etc. I have decided to plug in TV screen as an experiment. Everything was fine. I tried to do same thing today and I couldn’t get audio to run. I’ve disconnected HDMI cable without exiting BMS and it froze. I had to hard-reboot the laptop. Upon reboot, the launcher.exe file was gone without a trace, and I think some other files have gone too. All I have left in my main BMS folder is config.exe
      How can I restore the files? Do I have to re-install? That would be a pain, because setting up the key binds etc took me hours. Anyone had a similar issue?
      Thanks!

    • RE: New comer

      Because forum netiquette rules across the globes say you should not flood forums with new topics instead look for an existing one with title/body relating to your own issue. Frnakly, I have expected a bit more friendly crowd. Don;t bother replying. I don’t think I will be staying here. Good bye.

    • RE: New comer

      Hi guys, just installed BMS. I have not played BMS before, but been playing F4.0 and later Allied Force some time ago. I have a quick question - is it possible to import my old pilot file from Falcon AF that I keep on my old machine or would that somehow crash the game? I know BMS and AF are not compatible, hence the question.

    • RE: Game will not run - system does not support resolution 1024x768

      I think you are right. Can’t figure out how to switch to 16-bit colours. will have to look it up somewhere. I hope BMS doesn’t require that. The reason I posted here was that I had an impression the regular falcon 4.0 would have no people anymore. I posted here, because I did want BMS, that was my plan, but thought I need to have a running version of Falcon beforeI can upgrade it to BMS. I will try to install BMS and see if it will work. Thank you for the quick response!

    • Game will not run - system does not support resolution 1024x768

      Hi guys.
      I have just reinstalled Falcon 4.0 AF (Battlefield Operations) onto a new laptop, as the old one has sadly passed away. Trouble is, I can’t get it to run. I have disabled the intro movie, but that did not change anything.
      I get an error message: Requested resolution 1024x768x16 not supported and that’s it, it crashes. Trouble is, I think my new Nvidia graphics cannot run at such a low resolution. Do you know of any way to circumvent this issue?
      Any help would be very welcome
      Thanks
      Shrimp
