Falcon BMS 4.37 Update 7 is out!
Mar 26, 2025




The new Update 7 for Falcon BMS 4.37 is out (4.37.7)!

Grab your updaters to get this new release.


Falcon BMS 4.37.5
Known Limitations / Issues

    - Mirrors will only show once canopy closed
    - Limitations with alpha sorting (you might see transparency issues in cloud, fog, trees, lights, ?)
    - F-15C: The HUD SYM switch is still tied to the drift CO callback. The clicks work fine, but the callback for the switch is wrong
    - F-15C: Issues might appear with TACAN
    - Due to format changes, the avionics configurator will not work anymore? Need to do it manually in *.txtpb format files

Breaking Changes
    - As usual, Falcon BMS.cfg is restored to default
    - OpenXR Toolkit will NOT work and will cause BMS to crash (please remove / disable the tool as it is discontinued)
