- Welcome to Dogs Of War Vu.
Cry Havoc! And let slip the dogs of war!
Hello,
Two notes of interest to the community:
1. Drop Box is now called Dropbox Dash. All game files have been moved over to the new platform, but the links were changed. Contact me if you need to download.
2. My day job may be ending in September 2025, leaving me to retire after 45 years years with NASA. If you remember, my original plan was to retire in 2016 and spend a year finishing up WWII-Europe. In retirement, I plan to spend a lot more time with the Schwerpunkt games. Finishing up the seven remaining scenarios (1,26,33,95,98,100,101), then switching over to make game code upgrades, are the two top priorities. I do plan to spend time on WWII-E to complete the game before proceeding to work on a new wargame.
Hope everyone is doing well.
Ron

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)
Data Changelog
---- 4.37.7.0 (Base) ----
-- Falcon cfg is reset --
* adds F-15C Squadron to Bear Trap campaign at Gunsan AB (#1316)
* Feature lights in hangars and posts (#1237)
Untracked:
* reduced parallelism (g_nWorkerSizeHint from 100 to 300) to reduce pressure on renderer thread.
Code Changelog
---- 4.37.7.0 (Base) ----
* Fix For CATM hitting targets #5690 (#6109)
* Save GPU by drawing...
