=VG= Kavelenko

Welcome to VG @Gravy1 are you the same guy who posted on the BMS forums about finding other pilots in Australia?

Crashed the server on Pavlosck Bay STD while we were capping Construction site.

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1848867618 Big thank you to @=VG= XOR for creating this event, really enjoyed it a lot, easy to play no big issues for me at all. Cheers.

Automatic Rifleman please @=VG= XOR

=VG= Skiddles me old mate, we knew this could happen any time, and still you battled on there for quite a while. You'll be missed by everyone here in the =VG= community. Always honest and frank about your views and we could always count on you with that bloody machine gun when the chips were down and the shit was hitting the fan. Condolences to your family and friends, you were a great buddy to know and play games with. Rest in Peace, Lest We Forget. Kav

Scrub all that, I dont know what the hell I'm talking about. Just found some info from the old forum. To work the pinky switch functions its a tap and release, when its held in it acts as a SHIFT button. If you have it set like this in AL its fine. https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/content.php?153-DirectX-Shifting-Facility

Yes that's one of the issues with AL, because the pinky switch is now the main DX SHIFT control a side effect is that you lose the original pinky switch functions. You can prove that by using the "V" on your keyboard, I think this has already been raised with the Dev who created AL. One solution is to use Target to create a long press but I'm not really interested in using TARGET myself, so I've mapped the original pinky switch call back as a shift combination with the CMS UP button. Its a bit ironic that I'm using the pinky switch to control the pinky switch lol.

Roger that @MOKUM

@JudgeDredd @Netraider You guys are very welcome, so great to meet up with fellow pilots who are real keen on Falcon BMS, with your former experience in Falcon it certainly wont be long before you are destroying enemy jets and battalions galore! I was just digging around in the docs folder of my BMS installation and came across some layouts that you both may be interested in. If you haven't already downloaded them you could edit these .PDF files to record the call-backs you have set today. I noticed most of them on the layout are out by one DX position i.e. Dogfight Switch - DF override - DX:24. The Cougar Print layout can be found here: D:\Falcon BMS 4.37\Hotas\TM Cougar\HOTAS Print Layout.pdf The MFD's that @Netraider intends to set up in RTT are here: D:\Falcon BMS 4.37\Hotas\TM Cougar\TM Cougar MFDs\MFD Print Layout.pdf Good luck with the training this week, as you know Stark and I will be on the server next weekend, same time. Maybe we'll be able to fly a few sorties together, that would be awesome! We had a lot of fun sorting you guys out, I remember how complicated it was for us too. Well done!! Kudos to @MOKUM too for being such a great help with your Cougar setups. Kav

Can you get the stick and throttle quadrants to work in 4.37 setup page? Drop by tonight in TS at 20:00:00 ZULU and I might be able to help. I just tried loading the DX TM Cougar profile and it pretty much did the same thing for me, so I re-loaded my latest profile and everything was back to normal. Sounds to me like you have the most important things working which are that the BMS app is reading your HOTAS stick and throttle quadrants. I've read on the BMS forums that some guys claimed they imported their key files from 4.36.3 into 4.37 and that worked for them which is something you could try but I would back up the entire config folder before doing so just in case it screws something up. If that doesn't work then perhaps look at mapping everything from scratch manually which is what I do, works every time. I have my layout profile with all the DX switch mappings and I just following that, using the "BMS - Full" key file. What happens is when you click on the axis and key mapping section in the launcher, it automatically generates a new key file named "BMS - Auto" from that file, you use the alternative launcher to set and bind all your keys. You could try a hack and rename the DX TM Cougar key file to "BMS - Full", then click on the launcher and that will auto generate your new key file named "BMS - Auto" but it will be based on the Cougar profile, that's probably the quickest way to automate the process, otherwise I'd do it manually.

Version 1.7.3.1 just dropped

@=VG= XOR I updated my graphics drivers, and seems to be a lot more stable. No ARMA crashes touch wood.

Hi Dani_warrior, You need to fill out a ban appeal in English at the following link. https://veterans-gaming.com/unban-requests/pr/

First thing you need to do @Skiddles is jump on one our servers with a few newbie buddies and share notes. Understandably the veteran players dont really want to spend hours teaching you how to do things, especially in the middle of an event. Its the same with Falcon BMS which is even more complex than ARMA. So us noobs need to meet up on a server and stuff around for a few hours to sort things out.
