Falcon BMS 4.32 - Update 3 available

    Exe:
    - Fixed old DED/PFL state being transmitted to shared mem if UFCPower not available.
    - Fixed DLINK remembering last state after DLINK power down/failure. Fixed DED displaying DLINK data if DLINK is powered down/failed.
    - Fixed deterministic weather changing briefly back to SUNNY during weather changes.
    - New config variable g_nPickleSpikeTolerance (default 10) added. This sets a tolerance in ms before pickle releases are actually executed. SimPickle is sensitive to external input system "spiking", i.e. micro-releases. If a new pickle press is registered during the tolerance period, the original release is discarded.
    - CTD Fix in RakNet's ReliabilityLayer::HandleSocketReceiveFromConnectedPlayer().
    - Fix for "the battle of sinai" MissileClass::CommandGuide CTD.
    - Fix for 2nd entry to 3d timing out in pie screen.
    - Buffer overwrite fixes, Mem leak fixes, NULL pointer checks.
    - Fixed the range knob position to affect FCR gain and TGP zoom only when actually moved under SOI. This way there will not be "jumps" when switching SOI .
    - Flight cannot be deleted anymore when players are in (will avoid other invisible player cases). Added proper error message for deleting flights which contain human pilots.
    - Changed default keyfile for new pilots to BMS.key (was keystrokes.key before).
    - Added new key callbacks "SimPause" and "SimResume" (in addition to the existing combined "SimTogglePaused").



    - Pilot entertainment system:
    -- added possibility to pause/resume (in addition to start/stop), new callback "WinAmpTogglePause".
    -- changed DCS SEQ to call TogglePause (pause/resume) instead of TogglePlayback (start/stop).


    - Fixed reverse FCR gain w/ rage knob direction. Fixed FCR gain w/ rage knob changing if FCR is not SOI.
    - Fixed horn silencer button animation in 3D pit.
    - Fixed some analogue controller axes appearing twice in the UI drop-down boxes.
    - Enhanced AFResetTrim/ResetTrim so that it can "unstuck" runaway trim states as well.
    - Changed the hotasPinkyHold timer for DX shifting to use real time.
    - Added config option which allows the MP host to specify the available launch options (RAMP/TAXI/TAKEOFF): set g_nMPStartRestricted (default 0=RAMP/TAXI/TAKEOFF, 1=RAMP/TAXI, 2=RAMP)


    - Added config options which allow the MP host to restrict Smoke and NVG usage:
    -- set g_bAllowMP_NVG (default 1/true)
    -- set g_bAllowMP_Smoke (default 1/true)
    - Fixed player option "UI Radio Chatter" having no effect unless it is actively changed.
    - Fixed fuel flow indicator range (it's maxing out at 80.000 pph now).
    - Invisible Aircraft in MP fix.
    - Changed command line option "-nomovie", it will disable ALL movie playback now. If you only want to disable the intro movie, use the proper "set g_bPlayIntroMovie 0" config setting instead (it's available in the config editor as well).
    - Fixed Laser ARM switch, it can now be set independent of Master ARM.



    - DTE MFD page changes:
    -- Fixed loading highlighting order to be counter-clockwise (was clockwise before),
    -- page now shows the actual INI file name(s) as DTC ID for easy reference.
    - Fixed FCR radar cursors, they can't be slewed anymore while AC is on ground.
    - Fixed Data Link modes and the assignment ID’s, they are no longer displayed on the FCR if DL power is off.
    - Fixed antenna elevation, it can only be changed now if FCR is SOI.
    - Fixed some MFDs in greenmode/non-color mode, which were still using colors.
    - Fixed exporting displays to shared texture memory area (will work again in the same way that it did for OpenFalcon and BMS 2): Setting g_bExportRTTTextures to 1 will create a shared texture memory area (even w/o external displays enabled), named "FalconTexturesSharedMemoryArea". This does work as well with double RTT resolution! The shared mem area is not updated every frame, but every g_nRTTExportBatchSize frame (defaults to 2).
    - Changed version string output in both the main UI and the monolog file to be: "Falcon BMS x.y.z (plat) Build n", e.g. "Falcon BMS 4.32.2 (x86) Build 10900". This allows for easier identifying of the actual applied update for the end-users (x=major, y=minor, z=micro/Update), while keeping the actual build version in there for dev reference.
    - Fixed squadron patches not completely/all showing in UI logbook.
    - Implemented generic Airbase validity check. "Faulty" Airbases will no longer cause a CTD, but a MonoLog output which includes the name, VU_ID and the X/Y position for tracking. Adjusted all Airbase checks in landme.cpp to use the generic check.
    - Fix for BuildControllerList() CTD in case an input device is enumerated, but for some reason has no valid name string.
    - Fixed possible "out of index" CTD when building video driver or resolution list.
    - Corrected ObjectLOD::ReadFromFile() to ensure the target ObjectLOD stays valid (but empty) if a file error occurs. Formerly, the target ObjectLOD was partly set to undefined values in case of a file error.

    Data:
    - Fixed tower calling out RWY 32 at Kimpo as 31.
    - Applies the fix for the M2000 additional air intakes (see U2) to the 2000-D and 2000-N cockpit 3D wings.
    - A complete overhaul to TE00 Ramp start training script.
    - Added proper error message string for deleting flights which contain human pilots.
    - Added new dedicated SimPause and SimResume callbacks to BMS.key (unmapped), in addition to the existing SimTogglePaused callback.
    - Fix for the block 32 AFM.
    - Added config options which allow the MP host to invoke some restrictions:
    -- set g_bAllowMP_NVG 1 // Allows the MP host to specify whether NVGs can be used (default 1/true)
    -- set g_bAllowMP_Smoke 1 // Allows the MP host to specify whether Smoke can be used (default 1/true)
    -- set g_nMPStartRestricted 0 // Allows the MP host to specify which startup options are allowed (default 0=RAMP/TAXI/TAKEOFF, 1=RAMP/TAXI, 2=RAMP)
    - Fixes a bug with the missing HTS sensor, that prevents from locking any target when the AS-37 (anti-radiation) missile is loaded. Added a line "Has_HTS 1" to mirage2k9.dat and mirage2kd.dat
    - Fixed radar not being able to acquire EF2000 and JAS39 by changing their radar surface ratio to 91% of F-16 (detection will be around 33Nm now).
    - Added new options for the shared texture memory area to "Falcon BMS.cfg":
    -- set g_bExportRTTTextures 0 // This enables the shared texture memory area for HUD/MFDs/HMS/RWR/DED/PFL. This is independent from BMS external window usage!
    -- set g_nRTTExportBatchSize 2 // This determines how often the shared texture memory area (if it is enabled) will be updated (every Nth frame, default is 2).
    - Updated rumble.ogg sound: removed crackle when playback starts (Touchdown), start and ending off rumble sample zeroised and loop optimized (thanks to Livrot).
    - Corrected transparency for pilot pictures, none of them will show up "pink" anymore.
    - Added squadron patches for:
    -- 121st VFS Grim Griffins
    -- 320vFW e-HAF
    -- 323sq Nemesis
    -- 324sq Grypes
    -- 325sq Pelekis
    -- 326sq Aspis
    -- ViperDrivers
    - Corrected squadron patch for:
    -- 87th Straydogs (got rid of pink border)
    - Removed faulty squadron patches:
    -- 321 vTS Centaur
    -- Ukraine Air Force

    Da ich der 1. GW vertraue und bei ihnen das Update 3 ab sofort Staffelstandard ist, bitte ich die 47th, das Update zum Training am Freitag ebenfalls zu installieren.


    Wir können dann gleich einen Multiplayertest machen, bzw. Probleme gemeinsam lösen. Allerdings schlage ich die Verfahrensweise von Viper vor, beide Insatallationen zunächst parallel auf der "Platte" zu haben.

    Zitat von Brain

    Sicherheitskopie von BMS erstellen und Update 3 drüberbügeln tuts? Settings werden soweit übernommen? just to be sure ;)


    Nach dem update müssen die Einstellungen in der (F4Patch) nochmal überprüft und bei Bedarf geändert werden.Die stehen dann wieder auf Standard BMS

    Aus meiner Sicht war der Test sehr erfolgreich. Es gab ein paar technische Probleme auf meiner Seite (mein INS war um 5000 Meilen verschoben), aber ansonsten verlief der Flug absolut flüssig.


    Was mich extrem freut ist die Beobachtung, dass die Ergebnisse des Fluges zuverlässig in die Debrief.txt geschrieben wurden. Ich hoffe, dass es sich dabei nicht um einen Zufall gehandelt hat.

    Das hatte ich auch schon einmal bei einem Flug. Hast Du eine Ahnung, wie dieser Fehler auftreten kann? Liegt es an zu kurzem Alignment oder ist das eher ein Bug in Falcon?

    Habe gehofft, dass dieses Problem in einem der Updates behoben wird und deshalb bei erscheinen von Update 3 auch gleich im Changelog danach gesucht. Leider hab ich dazu nichts gefunden. Hoffen wir mal das es tatsächlich behoben wurde und nur der Eintrag im Changelog vergessen wurde.

    Salve :)


    Ich bin derzeit ja wieder sehr aktiv am Fliegen. (RedFlag PvP, ca. 5 Flüge/Tag^^) - und bisher hat alles drin gestanden. Scheint tatsächlich gefixt worden zu sein.
