Hi Toto are you still working on it?
Currently on hiatus due to RL. Hope to get back to it this summer.

This one might be for the devs. I’m developing a new Helios touch screen profile and I want to avoid using dials, specifically for the volume dials (Comm1, Comm2, Msl Vol, etc.). The problem is, if I just use buttons, there is no way to tell the volume level.
Does BMS output the volume level of these items in anyway (shared memory, or something) so that I could display it in my Helios profile? For example, I’d have a button for volume up and one for volume down, and there would be a number displays showing the volume level (e.g., 20%, 40%, and so on).
Thank you
I use Voice Attack, but Key Speech should work too. Super easy to set up especially if you’re using a profile someone already created.
Thanks for the reply. I tested it out in demo mode and I could feel the runway and landing bump. The only problem is the rate of the taxiway bumps is constant, no matter if I’m going 1 mph or 100 mph
My girlfriend is a fellow gamer who has been cutting her teeth in Flight Simulator X the past 2 weeks learning to fly because she has an interest in BMS now as well.

I tested SimShaker with my XRocker seat (run through my video card HDMI sound instead of my motherboard) and I could feel the vibration (Test Vibe Motors), but when I launch BMS I get nothing (I have support selected under special options).
Is there any way to test the software in BMS before I buy?
Thank you
Hi Weepop,
Thanks for the file. No dice thought
this is what my screens look like in full screen vs. windowed.

In your extraction setup on your main screen make sure the borders option is not checked and the position is 0 and 0. When you commit in BMS it will go full screen.
This is a known limitation of this generation of Tacview. This engine can display 3D meshes only for known objects. This will be improved in Tacview 2.0. Meanwhile I have added this F-16 to the mesh…
Thank you!
I checked out your profile and (at least on my setup) your eyebrow lights are on top of all of your cards.
I’m a pro user and I noticed the KF-16C-32 doesn’t have unique model (just a triangle). Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong?
Hey Toto,
This has been implemented years ago already.
Go to settings and select A5 size.Gr Falcas
Thank you, that is great. I didn’t realize when you click “Save DataCard” it actually saved so many files, to include graphics (the prompt screen just shows the *.bdc file, so I assumed that’s all it saved). I guess I should RTFM.
Second question. Because Helios touchscreen profiles always refer to the same graphic file names, is it possible to change or set the default save name of the DataCard graphic files and location (much like the Upd Kneeboard function)? Ideally, I’d like the capability to always have my files saved in my Helios images directory with names, for instance, like “comm_left.jpg”. In that way, when I save the DataCard my Helios profile will have the most up-to-date cards.
Thank you again, for your wonderful and groundbreaking work!

Wonderful software! I was wondering if you’re planning on adding the capability of saving the cards individually (both left and right) as .png or .jpg files? This would be great for those of us that use touchscreens and Helios because we could easily have them added to or touchscreen setup.
Thanks for the outstanding work!
Thanks guys. I figured I should have just RTFM.
I use KeySpeech with JCenzano’s profiles. With that combo covers every F-16 callsign from any positon in the flight. It also includes multiple phrases for each command for different callsigns of AWACs/Tankers/etc. and just different ways to say the command. It give a lot of flexibility and realism. I haven’t seen anyone else have this much detail and options with profiles before and the Keyspeech software is pretty good as well.

You can do the same with Voice Attack. My biggest complaint with VA is that you can only assign one joystick DX button as the hot key, but I want both my UHF and VHF transmit buttons to work!
I tried KeySpeech, but prefer VA’s GUI.
In 4.32 I could change the length of the auto-record feature on the AVTR in the faclon bms.cng file by using this line:
set g_fAVTRSeconds 600 // Length of time AUTO AVTR
I notice it is missing in 4.33’s config file.
Can I add it myself? I don’t want to screw up the config file!
Thanks!
Whew. That’s what insomnia will get you. Sorry about my last couple of posts, they’re kinda ramble-y.
See if you guys can help me troubleshoot.
From here: http://ihpff4bms.blogspot.co.uk/ I downloaded the following: -Ice’s BMS 4.33 ver1.2, Custom Images, BMS - FPM by -Ice.key, Ice’s BMS WH Profile ver6
I put the profile where it needs to go and the images. I selected Ice’s key file in the game and rant his TARGET script prior to game launch. Also, prior to game launch I run Helios.
Helios, works. When I touch a switch it moves, but it is in no way registered in the game other than the mouse moving. I have set the use button 4 to 1 and the exclusive mouse thing to 0 in the cfg. Button 4 appears to do nothing still and the mouse moves all over the place in the cockpit along with no Helios touches being registered….
Have I missed a step, or downloaded the wrong version of something? What else do you need to know from me to help troubleshoot? Thanks much guys.

You probably need to select the keyfile in Helios and save it
Quick question. I´m running Voice Attack on a Win10 PC and find the speech recognition pretty damn poor. I´m not an english native speaker but would just like to hear if others have the same experience? I´ve added some phrases for an Elite Dangerous profile and did notice that my mic possible sucks, the playback sound was rather poor. After adding phrases the recog seems to work a bit better. Do you need to add phrases or does work off the bat?
I´ve done the Speech Recog training which works fine.
I seem to have the same problem, but VA works fine most of the time. Win10 thinks the volume of my mic is too low, but everyone hears me fine online, so I don’t know what the problem is.
Hi Ice
I am saving front console screen after adding text to it.I don’t think paint can deal with transparencies but I have found that Paintshop Pro can, after googling it.
Do I remsmber seeing something about creating transparent sections in one of your tutorials?
I will have a search.
Thanks David
PowerPoint also does transparencies when saving graphics as an image. It’s what I use.
