Like the title says: Thank You
Regarding the observations, I have a Saitek Evo Force FFB stick which, for some reason, prevents the 64bit version of Falon BMS 4.33 from starting up properly. I use Windows 7 64bit Home Premium and the system reported that a file related to the driver set of this stick, namely the SaiQFFB5.dll file, ruined things and Falcon wouldn’t start at all. I tried running the 64bit version with the stick plugged out and it ran fine. That being said, I’ve been having a blast with the 32bit version.
Lots of X marks appear on the radar scope as, apparently, enemy aircraft are launched at by friendly planes. In previous iterations of Falcon (OF as well as BMS), only those targets launched at by airplanes to which the human controlled plane is data linked are marked by X marks on the scopes in the cockpit, which made me wonder whether there’s a separate data link which allows for sharing the info about targets between all coalition airplanes.
I also tried running Falcon BMS 4.33 on Linux Mint 17, under Wine, with legacy Nvidia drivers installed and vertical sync switched off as advised for Falcon BMS 4.32, but I still got a black screen, while the sound played fine while in the 3D world. Did anyone have success with running this sim on Linux?
