Great to know oakdesign, cheers for the feedback. I just got things running smoothly on my computer after a fresh re-install of Win7 so will stick with it until I upgrade my hardware in the future.

RE: Wondering which is the latest version of BMS that can be played in 32bit mode
@BibleClinger - No, its installed in a standalone directory on one of my hard drive partitions.
@SemlerPDX - Cheers. I had been thinking about upgrading to Win10 but thought that may create more problems. Does BMS run well on this platform?

RE: Potential key mapping problem?
Hey Sungad
Sure enough that was the problem. I set the cursor slew deadzone to large and it completely fixed the problem. Your a life saver!!
Thanks mate

RE: Wondering which is the latest version of BMS that can be played in 32bit mode
Well I worked it out in the end. After doing a bit more research I found out how to launch the -mono command from the command prompt. This made a bunch of files under the log folder which I can make available if anyone is interested (I believe I have a few errors judging by the titles of the logs…).
However I think I found the problem by mistake. I was running through the -mono command for a second time and this time I ran the ‘cmd’ function in windows 7 by right clicking on the icon and selecting ‘run as administrator’ when I selected the launcher button on the home screen it immediately started the game! Upon exiting the game I tried to start the game again by clicking on the desktop Falcon icon. I got the same response as before ‘Falcon has stopped working’. So I then right clicked the icon and tried running it ‘as administrator’ and it worked again.
I have no idea on the science behind this, but I´m just glad it is playable once again, and in 64bit.
Thank you so much for your help guys I really am appreciative.

Yeah its not great, totally agree. Unfortunately I’m not that tech savy…
I’m unsure how I would run BMS with the -mono command line argument. Could you direct me how to do this?

RE: Wondering which is the latest version of BMS that can be played in 32bit mode
Hey SemlerPDX
I forgot to mention I had actually done a fresh factory reset of Windows 7 prior installing BMS. I had also installed SP1 and the windows updates recommended.
I gave the System File Checker a run this morning and it did infact find a couple of corrupted files which it repaired and eventually finished 100% complete.
I then tried BMS again but got the same error.
I guess its back to 4.33 unless you have any other suggestions?

Checked for a crash log but there was nothing registered under that folder.
Looking like a roll back to 4.33

Wondering which is the latest version of BMS that can be played in 32bit mode
Hi guys,
Had a couple of bugs in my older version of BMS and so decided to do a fresh reinstall (after using the setup.exe to properly uninstall) to the latest version (4.34 U4). The installation went flawlessly but upon trying to launch BMS I see a quick flash of the black intro screen before I get the infamous ‘Falcon BMS has stopped working’ message. System specs are as follows:
i7 1.6ghz
8gb ram
Windows 7 64bit O/SI remember I used to run my previous version of BMS in 32bit mode because for some reason it would not work in 64bit. So i tried to find an option in the config to try and do the same however I cannot find one. I have since read somewhere online that this latest version does not support 64bit.
2 questions:
1st
I wonder if anyone has any ideas how I can get around this problem?. I find it strange that my operating system is 64bit yet previously I could only run in 32bit (I think it was ver 4.32). I would love to be up to date with the latest version but realise this might not be possible on this computer.2nd
Can anyone tell me which is the latest version I could run in 32bit mod, and where to find this installation file it if it is even still available?.Thanks for your time guys.

Potential key mapping problem?
Hi guys,
Been a long time since I dusted off my Flight Sim but had some time recently and decided to jump back in.
I started off with some instant action to try and get familiar again and tried some dog fighting using the HMCS. I have been trying to lock targets by using the TMS up command off boresight. I watched some tutorial videos on youtube and was directed to select TWS mode and then whilst looking out the cockpit hold TMS up to bring up a circle in my HMCS HUD and bring that over a target and release TMS up to soft lock the target. I found this to work once or twice but then it stopped working altogether. I did not change any controls before this happened. It just simply stopped working?
I did some more research and read somewhere online that you need to be in Radar mode ACM, and then select Bore. I have tried this and can select ACM mode no worries but as soon as I click on ‘Slew’ (the default mode) to try to change it to Bore, it simply flashes really quickly to Bore and then straight back to Slew. It simply will not let me change it. I try clicking the Slew button both with my mouse and with the key it the OSB 2 button is assigned too and the same thing happens. It almost feels as when I click it allows it, but some other key binding or something is over-riding it?
Any help with any of this would be extremely appreciated. To be honest I’m not even sure if I am doing things correctly?
Thanks in advance guys, can’t wait to get back into the sky
P.S.
I have a TM warthog flight stick and an older TM Cougar throttle running through a Realsimulator USB.
