It is quite unique and difficult to use at first, though it kinda makes sense after a few Updates So here is the install process that I hope will help new pilots get from 'WTF?!' to 'OMG, this RAWKS!' in as short a time and as pain free as possible.Ģ. Best to get these out of the way now.Īnother common source of confusion is the installer and Update process that BMS is using. NOTE: If you are new to Falcon or have been gone for a long time, if you're confused or have any questions, please skip down to the FAQ post in this thread for some commonly-asked questions. I'd like to again thank Reschke for giving me a good deal on a physical copy of Falcon 4.0 with the binder! Thanks Reschke!! Steam sells Falcon 4.0, Falcon, Falcon A.T., and Falcon Gold individually or you can buy all of them in a bundle called the Falcon Collection, GoG only sells the Falcon Collection, while Retroism sells both Falcon 4.0 and the Falcon Collection. Thanks to Tommo, Falcon 4.0 can now be purchased through Steam, GoG, or Retroism.
Here's a quick guide to show you what you need:
exe file to be present, BMS 4.33 now requires a complete Falcon 4.0 install and will check for the presence of this install each time BMS is started. One change that happened after 4.33 is that a new company, Tommo, acquired the IP rights to Falcon and where BMS 4.32 only required a Falcon 4.0. and this is where most people get confused. Yes, the original one, so Falcon 4 Allied Force will not work. First of all, the BMS installer will look for a complete Falcon 4.0 install. However, the install procedure for Falcon 4 BMS can be quite confusing. Bringing in modern 'features' such as a fully-working, fully-clickable 3D cockpit with working gauges while still retaining the depth of Falcon 4.0 all for the low, low entry price of $0.00/£0.00/EUR0.00 (BMS only, price dependent on your location of course), it is no surprise that it is attracting people from the I-got-no-clue-how-to-do-the-Falcon-dance new pilots to those who've spent a few months/years with the various other flavors of Falcon (OF/FF/AF) and are giving the sim 'another chance' to those who've flown Falcon 4 for over a decade and can recite checklists in their sleep.
Especially with 'Acronis Disk Director Suite', this allows you to take control and to see where the error is through a graphic environment.ġ- create a folder called HirensBoot on the desktop.Ģ- Double click on the Hirens.BootCD.15.2.zip file and decompress it in the created folder.ģ- Execute the universal program USB installer.Ĥ- In the drop-down menu select the option Hiren's Boot CD.ĥ- Search the ISO in the HirensBoot folder on the desktop.Falcon 4 BMS 4.33.X is the best version of the venerable Falcon 4.0 F-16C simulation to date. Hiren's BootCD can also be useful even when the primary operating system cannot be initiated because of some mistake in the system.Īdditionally, when you are sometimes installing an operating system and you find errors, like when the partition table doesn't function correctly or the space of the hard disk doesn't match up, thanks to this CD you can solve the problems with its tools. Lots of them have a similar function and can look redundant but they normally have an important difference or they complement each other. That way you also don't have to download these tools one by one from Internet.
Hiren's BootCD is an independent CD that contains a start sequence with an extensive software and utilities list grouped by category so your equipment will have everything it needs.
