BMS 4.33.1 em breve
« Online: Março 29, 2016, 10:09:44 am »
Olá Amigos,

Notícias boas do BMS, eles conseguiram um acordo com a empresa que detém os direitos do Falcon 4.0 (Tommo / Retrosim) e estão liberados para continuar o desenvolvimento  e releases.

O acordo, que deverá mudar algumas telas do instalador é a obrigatoriedade do BMS ser instalado numa máquina que possua o Falcon 4 original ou as versões vendidas pela Retroism. Incluindo a versão steam.

Importante: O BMS 4.33.1 é uma nova instalação completa do BMS, a versão 4.33 não será mais suportada.
Será necessário ter a versão Falcon 4.0 instalada completamente no sistema.


Links para comprar o Falcon 4.0 :


Steam  (R$ 13,99) : http://store.steampowered.com/app/429530/
GOG : https://www.gog.com/game/falcon_collection
Retroism  : http://retroism.com/falcon-collection/

Hi Everyone:

It is my pleasure to be able to tell you that the BMS team has reached an agreement with Tommo, current owners of Falcon 4.0 copyrights, that will allow us to resume making Falcon BMS community add-on releases now and for the foreseeable future with Tommo's approval.

The next release which will be version 4.33.1 incorporates two kinds of changes:

    Fixes and updates to the Falcon BMS content based on bug reports and other inputs to the team; and
    Some changes specifically related to the agreement with Tommo.



I won't telegraph the punch on the first of those categories; a change log will come with the release as you would normally expect and the documentation will be updated to match. That's all I'm going to say on that front so for details you will just have to be patient for a little longer

The second category may require a bit more explanation in particular because everyone will need to be prepared for changes in the way the Falcon BMS installs and runs on your systems. For the most part, you _should_ be prepared already in most cases if you have run Falcon BMS before but to be on the safe side, I want to make clear how things will work from this point on in case people want time to make sure their systems meet the requirements.

The biggest visible change is in how the installer and the game executable launch.

It has always been the BMS team's approach that Falcon BMS is an add-on for use with licensed copies of the original Falcon 4.0 game. As the primary element of the agreement with Tommo, the game now reinforces this principle more strongly. Specifically, the installer will check to see that a complete copy of the Falcon 4.0 game (Edit: "we recommend patching to 1.08 to be on the safe side" -- actually, belay that: it's not necessary -- see here for more explanation) is present on storage media in the system on which the installer is running. Similarly, each time the launcher is used to start the game, the same check will be made. In other words, to use Falcon BMS on your system, a licensed copy of Falcon 4.0 must also be installed and present on that system. You do not need to have run Falcon 4.0 after installing it before you try installing or running Falcon BMS; simply completing Falcon 4.0 install successfully is sufficient. Note that presence of a CD [or ISO] copy of the original game will not help you: Falcon 4.0 must be installed correctly and completely on the system for the checks to succeed. For the avoidance of doubt, only copies of the original Falcon 4.0 game will work for use with Falcon BMS (any other later variants such as Allied Force are not compatible). For clarity, the checks performed are entirely local to the system so both installing and running the game will work on a system that has no internet or other network connection.

If you have Falcon 4.0 resident on your local system, then the first visible difference you will see is a new splash screen. That screen shows a Falcon BMS logo and logos for Tommo, Retroism and the BMS team together with copyright and trademark statements that outline terms of use. You will note from this that the Falcon BMS community add-on is made and distributed with permission from Tommo. That permission is conditioned on the install and runtime checks mentioned above as well as reinforcing that, in line with the BMS team's long-time policy, Falcon BMS is only available for non-commercial uses. The splash screen is displayed in time that is used to load the game in the background so, in other words, no additional start up time should result from the splash screen (compared to earlier Falcon BMS versions).

If you do not have Falcon 4.0 installed on your local system then the next thing you will see is a Windows message box pop-up that tells you that the installer or the game is unable to find a copy of Falcon 4.0 on your system. The message box has a button to dismiss it (once you have read the message) and then the game will exit immediately. As I said, if you have used Falcon BMS before then you should already have Falcon 4.0. However, for those who may be new to the community, the message box mentions some possible sources of licensed copies of Falcon 4.0 that you may like to use to acquire a legitimate copy if you need to do that. Other sources are possible and viable; for instance private sale or eBay to find a copy of the [increasingly-rare] original hard-copy game materials. [Note there were some issues with copies of Falcon 4.0 purchased from Steam (it was made available there in January 2016) -- these are now resolved as we helped Tommo get the Steam install process working correctly -- thus Steam is a viable (and convenient??) source for copies of Falcon 4.0 if you need one.]

We had planned for 4.33.1 to be a small incremental patch for 4.33. As a result of the changes described above, this will not be possible. Instead, 4.33.1 will be a complete from-scratch installer. You will have to use this to make a fresh install of Falcon BMS. That install will be separate and independent from any other you may already have on your system. There are a few exceptions (see docs when available) but in the main, file content from 4.33 will be compatible with 4.33.1 so things like key files and log books can probably just be copied over to the new 4.33.1 install directory. For the avoidance of doubt there is no way, supported or otherwise, to get 4.33.1 features inserted into an existing 4.33 install...that just won't work so we would recommend not wasting time trying it.

While the above might cover most things you have in mind, there may still be reasonable and constructive questions to ask so we'll try and keep this thread open so long as it remains useful to do so.

In closing I want to thank on behalf of the entire BMS team those of you who have waited patiently while this situation resolved and for the support and encouragement received in the meanwhile. We hope you will agree that this is a good day for the Falcon community: one that provides us all with a solid foundation on which to build future improvements in the game that we cherish.

Menos mal

Estava meio fora da coisa toda. E me assustei com essa nova de "novo dono"

só faltava agora eles exigirem de comprar a versão nova na Steam

Acho que eu ando meio traumatizado com essa coisa de limitar internet.

Boa noite,
eu estou afastado do jogo já faz um bom tempo. Estou pensando em voltar. Pelo que entendi, preciso comprar um cópia original para poder instalar este ultimo update. O BMS 4.33.1 é um update cumulativo? Tenho um Saitek X52 Pro, ele vai funcionar bem? Como fica a instalação dos outros cenários?

Att
Gustavo.

Olá Gustavo,

É isto mesmo, o BMS agora detecta se vc possui uma cópia do Falcon4 instalado toda vez que é iniciado.
O Falcon 4 original está bem baratinho na Steam ou GOG.

A versão 4.33.1 é completa, não precisará de mais nada se vc baixá-la.

O X52 é ótimo no BMS e tem vários perfis no fórum da BMS.

OS cenários geralmente são estilo "next,next , finish", com instalador.

Bom dia.

Por garantia, já fiz a compra com boleto para garantir o preço.
Fazem anos que não jogo. Acredito que muita coisa deve ter mudado. Onde posso conseguir pdf's e tutoriais em vídeo atuais?
