Arty, thank you, that worked great, but I am confused because the previous version of winrar was working just fine on all .zip, .rar files just not the MC or WC so it never dawned on me to change that.

RE: Mission Commander beta release
At the risk of being told to RTFM I am trying to extract and run MC and WC both of which will not run due to .rar extraction errors, I have downloaded those files about 12 different times from different PC’s and laptops wired and wifi downloads all resulting in the same thing, MC and WC will not run both showing 61 extraction errors. if I try to run the .exe from the zip file I am shown a dialog box saying that these programs are not compatible. Any idea what my situation is? PS I did try to run these in compatibility mode for XP SP2, Vista, and a couple other options with no difference in results.

RE: Enabling External Displays causes Falcon 4.33 to shut down
Appreciate the advice, I will give it a go, do you think this will help with the issue of Falcon not starting with external display selected? If increasing the voltage a bit does I will let you know.

Enabling External Displays causes Falcon 4.33 to shut down
Hello Gents, I am having a problem with the external display option. It seems that when I tick on external displays via the config editor Falcon wont start, I get the error BMS Falcon has stopped working. This happens in both 32 bit and 64 bit versions and is %100 recreate-able, I turn on external displays via the confi editor and Falcon wont run, I turn it off and Falcon runs just fine. I uninstall Falcon4.33 and reinstall and turn on the external dispalys start Falcon (for the first time) and I see the displays come up and all is fine, when I exit Falcon and start it again Falcon wont start. I disable external displays and Falcon works just fine. The crash log should be attached I had to break it into two sections as it was slightly larger than what the upload would allow.
Because I don’t get a chance to get here very often these days let me just say the work done is is nothing short of amazing, Thank You to all!!

RE: Cockpit display extraction problem
Bahh, sorry for cluttering up the forums, 10 min after I post this I figure out my problem. I had put the settings for the other possible displays to 0, when I gave them some positive values I got my falcon UI back. I thought I read that negative values were bad but I did not think null value would be a problem. At any rate I hope this helps someone.

Cockpit display extraction problem
OK first let me say I have searched for a solution to my problem but have not found advice that worked for me with similar problems others have had.
I just got a 10in screen that connects to my nvidia 660GT vid card and main 24in monitor connects to vid card with HDMI cable. I ran the cockpit display extractor and ticked the config tab to activate it, set up displays where I would like them and ran the sim. All worked great. Then after I set up my area to accommodate my different devices I started falcon and saw the extracted displays snap into place but the windowed falcon UI on my main screen is black. I left it there and made a cup of coffee thinking it would be back to normal but falcon UI was still black. The cursor was the little f-16 and I heard the music playing, as well as when I moved the cursor around it would chime when it passed over some of the buttons.
If I un-tick the config setting to extract displays falcon goes back to normal. There are no negative values in the extractor settings, I delegated the dx9.dsp (once that helped but not for this) and have tried setting different resolutions. All with no effect. I think it is strange that it would work for me testing and with no change it blacks out the falcon UI.
Up to now every issue I have ever had I was able to find someone with a similar situation who’s solution also fixed mine.
Any ideas? Or reinstall?

RE: IFlyBMS
I am interested in testing if needed, I use the A-10 hog set up when flying that sim. I have been looking for something to use in place of my Master Pilot clunker for the ICP. Just watched you vid and thought it looked like just what I have been waiting for. :headb:
