    You are a GOD (pause for lighting bolt.....no? Good). Thank you for this, I had forgotten to request it. BMS is one of my other winter time flight sims.

    Since I was testing out DCS with my 6DoF miniature platform I thought I would fire up Falcon4 as well.

    What I found:

    1. Oddly there was not movement until I set the min max manually. Even doing a capture didnt help for some reason. All settings during capture stayed around 32,000 :eek: I set them down to around 20/-20 and got movement. The Game Data Input section did show values changing, etc.

    2. Roll, Pitch and Heave work perfectly.

    3. Again, like DCS, yaw seems to be slaved to the compass and does nothing other than stay all the way to the left (if heading west or north) and all the way to the right (if heading east or south).

    The Falcon4 plugin does not have surge nor sway so I could not evaluate those inputs.

    Otherwise, well done and again I thank you Value1!

    Hmm, I can't remember and don't have Falcon installed right now. Can you test this and report back, please.

    I have not tested it with BMS 4.33 yet (still have to rebuild my flight sim rig) but it was working with BMS 4.30 (beta). It should work with 4.33

    Hello Guys,
    I tested this plugin in Simtools V2.0, V2.1, v2.2.5 and in none of them the Plugin is listed in the "Game Selection" of the "Game Manager". I installed the plugin normally through the "UpDate Plugin".
    Has anyone had this problem or know how to solve it?

    Thank you.

    @Reinaldo ,
    This is the normal operation of SimTools until a license has been detected.
    Otherwise it runs in Demo mode with only Live for Speed available for play.
    Are you maybe in Demo mode?

    You hit the nail on the head yobuddy,
    I switched to a computer and forgot about this important detail.
    I'm sorry for my carelessness.
    Thank you.

    Hi there,
    Any possibility to implement Sway, Heave, Surge forces similar to the DCS plugin? also could it be possible to have on-ground info?

    Thank you for your work.
