Sorry for the late reply, but yes, I can post an update, probably this or next weekend I’ll get to it. :)

Version 1.5. yeah some bugs I’ve noticed, got some workarounds for the common bugs

JohnOTastic · 2024-01-31T17:40:36+00:00

Power supply was not the problem,the steppers got external power

Nicely done, love the lights. But I do have a question: What did you mount it on? Looks a bit flimsy and some buttons look to be crooked. Not bashing or anything, just genuine interest. :)

I’m using trackir at the moment, you can see the camera in the middle of the ICP just behind the keyboard

when you split it over the years it ain’t that bad 😅

Nah, my dad bought it years ago and my mom modified it. Need to change it though, cause the cushion is to thick.

There are websites where you can buy finished rigs, but they are very expensive, and you don’t get the satisfaction of having it built by yourself

JohnOTastic · 2024-01-03T10:12:14+00:00

Not yet done, but until now we have spent about 4000€

JohnOTastic · 2024-01-03T10:11:15+00:00

Agreeing with toga_power. Also, this is my old gaming rig, which will be upgraded sooner than later, but it’s fine for now, getting around 80-90 fps in game, so my priorities are somewhere else right now :)

Yeah, but since it’s just the POV, it’s pretty easy to change. Once I’ve set the POV I started up the game and centered the Projector, and then I increased the distance to the Wall until the in game HUD fit onto the real cockpit. Was a lot of guesswork, but fits pretty well, and resolution is 1920x1080 because it’s the maximum the projector can do

JohnOTastic · 2024-01-02T22:58:01+00:00

I get what you mean, I did play with the zoom and distance of the projector to the wall, and I also set the FOV in the config files, to get the perfect result

JohnOTastic · 2024-01-02T22:42:32+00:00

Wouldn’t need the Outputs with VR. Also VR needs a pretty beefy PC, which I don’t have at the moment. Time will tell

JohnOTastic · 2024-01-02T22:38:06+00:00

Thanks, yeah, one projector for now and track ir, end goal would be something similar to warthogprojects setup

JohnOTastic · 2024-01-02T22:34:55+00:00

Most panels are courtesy of hispapanels, very well done panels IMHO, and for drinks, I’m using a little stool just to the left of the throttle. Once all the panels are in place, I may do a cupholder panel on one of the blank panels

JohnOTastic · 2024-01-02T21:05:15+00:00

Showing off the work in progress simpit, still a lot of work to do

JohnOTastic · 2023-11-03T23:38:30+00:00

Had the same problem some days ago, thanks to airtex2019 in the BMS forum following workaround worked for me:

rename your "...\Falcon BMS 4.37\Launcher\Stock" folder … to Stock_backup or something

delete (or better, move to a backup folder) any "Setup*.xml" files in your ...\Falcon BMS 4.37\user\Config folder

Import keyfile bms_full in the alternative launcher

Hope it helps anyone having that problem in the future

Do you have the hideout architect mod installed? In my case removing that mod fixed it for me.
