i just wrote a tool to map keys from a second keyboard to any keyboard command (macro, shortcut, whatever).
Its called multi keyboard remapper http://www.2112design.com/blog/multi-keyboard-remapper/ and its free.
Its works great with falcon and DCS and should work fine with any other windows ap.
Have fun, Steve
hi all, i don’t know how many people are using this, i’m guessing not many.
anyhow, i’m not flying BMS anymore, i’m working on an air race circuit in Yosemite valley for FSX so if anyone wants to take this project over, you can have all the source free. just PM me.
steve
No. You can select from mutiple skin sets for a specific AC type but all AC from this specific type get the same skin regardless which side they are flying. This is why you need different type of F-16. The only difference for some AC - which have got the “license plate” upgrade that tail nubers and other markings can be different in the same flight but the paint scheme is the same for all AC.
i would be happy with the “license plate” upgrade for my app if i can put a pilot name (text) below the cockpit as well as the tail number. do you know how to enable that?, doesn’t seem to be anything in the docs about it that i can find.
You do not understand even the basics of game…? OMG…
The labels show you callsign in Logbook…
If you wish to different skin use any F-16C AMD F-16 Agressor in TE on different sides. That is all.
Is really so hard…?
no, i just haven’t used multiplayer before but i get it now.
so i have the 2 callsigns showing up just fine now.
Arty, i read your post but i wonder if its more than i need right now.
i’m thinking, since some models can have different texture sets (F-16D-40) that would be enough for my needs. the only bit i really want to change is the pilots name below the cockpit. not sure how to do that yet, but looking.
i notice in LOD editor, if i open F-16D-40 and click on ‘view LOD text’, i see it has 6 texture sets. right now i’m taking over the F-16C-TB model which only has one set. i guess if i repaint the F-16D-40 model and use that, i can use its extra sets for my different pilots
you have to start server app before falcon BMS and
in flying you must not minimize falcon
if you minimaze falcon sharec memory will be lock.
i hope it can help you
thanks. can the people who are having trouble try that and let me know if it helps.
i can start in any order and not have a problem but different systems behave differently.
i’ve given up on trying to make different color planes, but i would like to get labels working.
when i enable labels, it simply says ‘viper’ for both planes. is there a way to get ‘cowboy 1 1’ and 'cowboy 1 2 ’ displayed?
oh, i’ve just realized, maybe i need to change user name on the 2 computers
Steve, no offense, but while you’re working on your project, it might be a good idea to learn how to USE the sim.
Invulnerability is the 1st check box in the setup options. Open SETUP–>Check Box INVULNERABILITY. It may also be changeable in the Falcon BMS config file in your user folder but you’d have to look to be sure.
i forgot, its a while since i went to the setup page. i script everything so i don’t spend much time pressing buttons to get bms started anymore, i just press one button on my control app.
and in answer to the other guy that suggested i don’t crash, check out my latest video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VirUciA02g about 5:15
Hello !
I tried your application. The server is not working on my computer. It stays not connected to BMS. I tried to launch BMS first, then your app server. I tried the opposite. Still not connected. The server ping my tablet, but no connection between server and BMS.
I have Windows 8 Pro 64
- Tried to launch with admin rights
- Tried to launch in Win 7 compatibility
Any idea ?
several people are having this problem. for some reason i haven’t figured out you, sometimes i cannot connect to falcon shared texture memory. if any of the bms devs would like to give me a bit of help on this one i would appreciate it.
anyhow, can you email me your ‘falcon bms.cfg’ file from the bms folder/user/config and i’ll email you mine to try
thx steve
i notice that when i’m paused, the windows key seems to be working fine now. don’t know why it wasn’t before.
