Falcon BMS 4.32

EXE:
? fix for jet wash in MP behind a player
? Fixes for padlock mode. The padlock callbacks that were priority specific we broken (AA and AG) as were
the next/prev padlock functions. These should all work more as expected now separately and together.
? Fix for Angle test value beeing doubled when aerobraking. This fixes the yawing issue when touching in cross
wind and fix the gear break as well in cross wind landing.
? Fix for light airplane not rolling when brake released while heavy was rolling OK.
? Increased RTT line width for the RWR for better visibility, and as an example of how to set different RTT line
widths for different virtual displays or bigger chunks of drawing code. Width for RWR is configurable by
g_fRTTLineWidthRWR right now, we could move this to the 3dcockpit.dat files if we like.
? Implemented additional A/P disconnects:
o when DBU is engaged
o when stall horn is active
? Corrected dashed lines in SMS main and S/J pages.
? Corrected DED ALOW page, now it will be always on the CARA ALOW line when the page is entered.
? Fix for padlock mode: only missiles that are guiding on ownship are treated as high priority now. That
includes friendly missiles (which is new) and means that missiles that are not guiding are treated as very LOW
priority for padlocking (also new behavior).
? Added code to update the new "Current Keyfile" output on the Setup/Controllers UI screen.
? Hydraulic A and B pressure are now monitored. In case of loss of hydraulic power, the hydraulic pressure is
lost more quickly if controls are used fixes the instability of AFM when engine shut down and EPU takes a few
seconds to take over.
? Added new config variable g_bExternalWindowsOnTop, which will ensure that external windows are always
rendered on top of all other windows and the taskbar. Default is 0 (old behavior), set to 1 to activate.
? Tacref, Loadout, Recon & Gfx Preview in setup: Fix for black screen when FSAA is forced on by the video
driver. Fix busted specular highlights and glass shader.
? Corrected DEST OA1/OA2 page DCS up/down behavior.
? Changed gun damage scoring.
? Fixed CTD when the following cfg values were set:
o set g_bShowRainDrops 0
o set g_bShowRainRings 1
? Fix for AIM-120 LOSE/LOSE TOI. The missile kinematic prediction code will now update projections even if
the missile shows a losing condition. This should fix the problem where a bandit that turns back into you
should make for a winning end game for the missile in some cases and this wasn't reflected previously in the
HUD cues.
? Fix for deadlock while client screws with waypoint data, fix crash in 3d.
? 3D pit view panning: Reduced translation for small FOVs to make it smoother.
? Fixed Terrain Line-of-Sight Test.
? Corrected IDM OSB Label ("XMT") position being moved while expanding the HSD.
? WinAmp control:
o adjusted playback "resumed" to "started"
o corrected volume up/down linearity (by using the new Winamp 2.x volume API)
o added new config variable g_bWinAmpOldVolumeAPI (default 0), which allows to revert to the old
Winamp 1.x volume API in case someone still needs it
? Fixed SetByHQ PAK button falsely reactivating in MP campaign.
? Added config variable g_nCampPeriodicSaveMinutes (default 0 = disabled), which allows for cyclic autosave
on the campaign host. This enables public hosts to run w/o monitoring and still have a recent savegame
available in case the server crashes. Note that the time is in "game" minutes, not real minutes, and that the
saving will only be done if the time compression is set to x1.
? AddAdded config variable g_sCampPeriodicSaveName (default "Auto") to set the prefix for the automatic
cyclic save name (campaign date and time will be added automatically).
? Fixed HCMS knob vanishing under certain conditions if used as analogue axis.
? WOW trigger modification.
? Animated effects and ambiance sounds will now be frozen correctly if the sim is paused.
? Alert flights (and so intercept) are now generated only when Squadron is HQ controled
this can be disabled with g_bInterceptsRequireHQSquadControl , true by default
? Fixed stick trim being enabled while A/P was active. Now it only works if A/P is off.
? Corrected AA FCR tracks not being displayed on the HSD in NAV mode, now they are.
? Added a "Theater Check" and a "Falcon Version Check" for client connection attempts. Clients which don't
match the host theater and BMS version (patch level) will not be able to connect to the host. Please note that
there is currently NO proper feedback on the client about WHY the connection has been refused, the client
only sees the usual "unable to connect" message.
? CTD fix (aka Mav CTD - probably a 1000 years one) when trying to change Maverick polarity when no
missiles on-board. The code was dereferencing Sms->curWeapon which was of course NULL. WPN MFD is
in OFF mode without weapons and the crash probably was never found because no one tried to change polarity
when in OFF mode. Anyway, it won't crash anymore.
? Fixed debriefing actual TOT "seconds/minutes early/late" display.
? Adjusted UI keymap display to hide the assigned keytext for blue header lines.
Just FYI, keyfiles come with 4 different possible visibility states:
o -2 = hidden
o -1 = visible and locked in UI, header (blue background, no keytext)
o 0 = visible and locked in UI, normal entry (green keytext)
o 1 = visible and changeable in UI, normal entry (white keytext)
? Corrected OTWGlanceForward getting reversed under certain conditions.
? Fixed a bug in HARM POS mode where a HARM that doesn't find a target on the way to the reference STPT
was hitting the exact STPT position (What makes it kind of "GPS guided" missile). Fixed that by setting some
randomness in the STPT location, not too large so the HARM will find a target if there is and not too small so
it'll not hit too close to STPT exact position when a target wasn't found.
? Excluded texture memory check from low memory warning calculation as it is not reliable enough. Lowered
low memory warning threshold for the other counters to 64 MB.
? Fixed ACMI shadowmap position.
? Added additional "Environment" entry to the ACMI options menu, where options regarding the environment
rendering can be selected:
o "Time of Day": If set (default), ACMI playback will honor the tape timestamp. If deselected, ACMI
will render the view in full 12 o'clock noon sunlight, which will help e.g with night tape reviews.
o "Weather": If set (default), ACMI playback will honor the tape weather. If deselected, ACMI will
render the view in SUNNY condition w/o clouds or fog, which will help e.g. with bad weather tape
reviews.
o "Shadows": If set (default), ACMI playback will render the shadowmap. If deselected, ACMI will be
rendered w/o shadows, which will help e.g. with shadow rendering issues.
? Added additional "Big Fonts" entry to the ACMI "Labels" options menu. If selected, this will render the ACMI
labels with a bigger font, which will help with readability issues.
? Fixes for DX button mappings set for the button release event. Previously all such bindings resulted in the
callback being invoked with key up semantics. Since most discrete callbacks are coded to function with key
down invocation there was no way to get the required functions to work completely. The new code allows you
to specify three behaviors for any DX button binding and to have separate choices of those behaviors for both
button press events and button release events. You can now specify that a binding is invoked with key down,
key up or default behavior.
An example to clarify:

First the conventional form of a DX binding line still looks the same:

SimDMSDown 20 -1 -2 0 0x0 0 "SimDMSDown"

The -2 means: this is a DX button binding, 20 is the button ID# and the -1 says dow key
up/downdefault behavior. This means that the SimDMSDown callback is invoked both for the press
and release of the button and the two invocations get the key-down and key-up parameters
respectively.

Now...if instead of the -1 in the second numeric field we place a -2, that means invoke this binding
with a key down semantic only.

SimDMSDown 20 -2 -2 0 0x0 0 "SimDMSDown"

This results in the SimDMSDown callback being invoked only one time even if you physically press
and release the joystick button.

In addition, you can as before set a different binding line up for the joystick button release event, this is
done as before by placing 0x42 in the 4th numeric field of a DX button binding line as follows:

SimDMSDown 20 -4 -2 0x42 0x0 0 "SimDMSDown"

Note in this case the value in the second field is now -4. -4 in that field of a DX button binding line
means invoke this callback with a key up semantic. So, if this 0x42-equipped line were the only line in
the key file for button 20, what would happen when you physically press the button is that no callback
would be invoked but you would get the SimDMSDown callback invoked when you released the
physical button but with the key up semantic.

In effect then these two lines:

SimDMSDown 20 -2 -2 0 0x0 0 "SimDMSDown"
SimDMSDown 20 -4 -2 0x42 0x0 0 "SimDMSDown"

Do the same as:

SimDMSDown 20 -1 -2 0 0x0 0 "SimDMSDown"

However, a more interesting and useful example is what you would do for the mechanical on/off
switch on the HUD SYM wheel that controls the power for the HUD display if you have that set up to
deliver a DX button event via your controller:

SimHUDOn 20 -2 -2 0 0x0 0 "HUD power on"
SimHUDOff 20 -2 -2 0x42 0x0 0 "HUD power off"

The result of these two lines is that when button 20 (which recall is actually the 21st button on a
Windows joystick controller, F4 numbers them starting from 0 as the first and Windows numbers
starting with 1) turns on, the SimHUDOn callback is invoked with key down semantics and the HUD
should power up. Conversely when button 20 turns off, the SimHUDOff callback is invoked but
noting the -2 in the 2nd numeric field it is also invoked with key down semantics.
? CTD fix for pressing DX buttons in the setup control panel with the new individual DX press/release
keymappings.
? Usage of SimMotionFreeze is now prohibited in MP.
Added additional BMS exe icons colors (gold/green/purple). You can select your preferred icon color for the
BMS exe shortcut by right-clicking on it, then select "Properties". Go to the "Shortcut" tab and find the
"Change icon" button in the lower middle.
? E3 project dome DOF changed from 2 to 14.
? Added a config option g_bMouseButton4TogglesClickablePit (default false). If set, the 4th mouse button (if
available) will toggle between mouselook and clickable pit. By the way: the wheel is button 3.
? Added additional "Wind Check" option to the Tower Approach ATC radio menu. If called, the tower will reply
with the current wind heading at the airbase in three digits, rounded to full 10 degree steps, and the wind speed
in knots in two digits.
? Fix for HARMs not finding targets in POS mode because screwed-up setting of target location causing the
missile to go too high and loss ability to find the intended radar target.
? Corrected framerate logfile ("-log") output directory.
? Fix a bug in HARM HAS mode. When locked up, it was dropping target if other threats of the same type
(which are not the locked target) were behind 3-9 line. It should drop only if the locked target passes the line.

4.32
? Added additional Launcher.exe icons colors (gold/green/purple). You can select your preferred icon color for
the Launcher.exe shortcut by right-clicking on it, then select "Properties". Go to the "Shortcut" tab and find the
"Change icon" button in the lower middle.
? Added a "Confirm" option for "Set Bullseye" to the UI map right-click menu to avoid accidental Bullseye
moves.
? Added additional delimiters to the UI map right-click menu to clearly separate "display" from "set" entries.
? DogFight icons glitches fixed
? UI maps (JSTAR, PAK included based on the wonderful Red Dog's ONC chart) and icons refinements… fit
with the BMS's Converted additional theaters (same presentation)
? Numeric scale to PAK slider added
? Updated RF and IF campaigns for KTO
o - Replaced RAAF F-111 with RAAF F-18C (75 Sqn)
o - Replaced ROK F-4D with F-15E-229 (since we don't have the F-15K, the F-15E is its nearest cousin)
o Updated Camo.cfg for KTO
o - Squadrons with appropriate skins, in the game, should now use them
? Falcon4.CT: Reordered Specific for all bombs and fixed wrong Type for CT# 2138 (CBU-89).
Added WCMD.
Changed BRU-55 data in bmsrack.dat so it loads only JSOW, JASSM, JDAM (Up to 1000lb) and WCMD.
Fixed Subtype for WCMD bombs. It was 1 instead of 5.
? Deleted the training mission 17 HMC AIM9 combination due a typo

Data:
-Updated all Mirage 2000 external models to fix flapperons.
-Updated Mirage 2000-D 3D cockpit to add HSI range.
-Updated Mirage 2000-5F 3D cockpit to add HSI range.
-Textures updated to match new Mirage 2000-D and -5F HSI range.
-Mirage 2000 FMs modified to fix flapperon issue.
-Mirage 2000 FMs modified to fix rack issue.
-bmsrack.dat modified to fix Mirage 2000 bomb rack issue.
-Fix for Mirage 2000-D and N air intakes animation.
-Added a x10 factor to the animSwingWingAngle and animSwingWingRate values.
-Revert the specific changes that caused the MK-20, BLU-107 and flare crashes.

- Fixed old DED/PFL state being transmitted to shared mem if UFCPower not available.
- Fixed DLINK remembering last state after DLINK power down/failure. Fixed DED displaying DLINK data if DLINK is powered down/failed.
- Fixed deterministic weather changing briefly back to SUNNY during weather changes.
- New config variable g_nPickleSpikeTolerance (default 10) added. This sets a tolerance in ms before pickle releases are actually executed. SimPickle is sensitive to external input system "spiking", i.e. micro-releases. If a new pickle press is registered during the tolerance period, the original release is discarded.
- CTD Fix in RakNet's ReliabilityLayer::HandleSocketReceiveFromConnectedPlayer().
- Fix for "the battle of sinai" MissileClass::CommandGuide CTD.
- Fix for 2nd entry to 3d timing out in pie screen.
- Buffer overwrite fixes, Mem leak fixes, NULL pointer checks.
- Fixed the range knob position to affect FCR gain and TGP zoom only when actually moved under SOI. This way there will not be "jumps" when switching SOI .
- Flight cannot be deleted anymore when players are in (will avoid other invisible player cases). Added proper error message for deleting flights which contain human pilots.
- Changed default keyfile for new pilots to BMS.key (was keystrokes.key before).
- Added new key callbacks "SimPause" and "SimResume" (in addition to the existing combined "SimTogglePaused").
- Pilot entertainment system:
-- added possibility to pause/resume (in addition to start/stop), new callback "WinAmpTogglePause".
-- changed DCS SEQ to call TogglePause (pause/resume) instead of TogglePlayback (start/stop).
- Fixed reverse FCR gain w/ rage knob direction. Fixed FCR gain w/ rage knob changing if FCR is not SOI.
- Fixed horn silencer button animation in 3D pit.
- Fixed some analogue controller axes appearing twice in the UI drop-down boxes.
- Enhanced AFResetTrim/ResetTrim so that it can "unstuck" runaway trim states as well.
- Changed the hotasPinkyHold timer for DX shifting to use real time.
- Added config option which allows the MP host to specify the available launch options (RAMP/TAXI/TAKEOFF): set g_nMPStartRestricted (default 0=RAMP/TAXI/TAKEOFF, 1=RAMP/TAXI, 2=RAMP)
- Added config options which allow the MP host to restrict Smoke and NVG usage:
-- set g_bAllowMP_NVG (default 1/true)
-- set g_bAllowMP_Smoke (default 1/true)
- Fixed player option "UI Radio Chatter" having no effect unless it is actively changed.
- Fixed fuel flow indicator range (it's maxing out at 80.000 pph now).
- Invisible Aircraft in MP fix.
- Changed command line option "-nomovie", it will disable ALL movie playback now. If you only want to disable the intro movie, use the proper "set g_bPlayIntroMovie 0" config setting instead (it's available in the config editor as well).
- Fixed Laser ARM switch, it can now be set independent of Master ARM.
- DTE MFD page changes:
-- Fixed loading highlighting order to be counter-clockwise (was clockwise before),
-- page now shows the actual INI file name(s) as DTC ID for easy reference.
- Fixed FCR radar cursors, they can't be slewed anymore while AC is on ground.
- Fixed Data Link modes and the assignment ID’s, they are no longer displayed on the FCR if DL power is off.
- Fixed antenna elevation, it can only be changed now if FCR is SOI.
- Fixed some MFDs in greenmode/non-color mode, which were still using colors.
- Fixed exporting displays to shared texture memory area (will work again in the same way that it did for OpenFalcon and BMS 2): Setting g_bExportRTTTextures to 1 will create a shared texture memory area (even w/o external displays enabled), named "FalconTexturesSharedMemoryArea". This does work as well with double RTT resolution! The shared mem area is not updated every frame, but every g_nRTTExportBatchSize frame (defaults to 2).
- Changed version string output in both the main UI and the monolog file to be: "Falcon BMS x.y.z (plat) Build n", e.g. "Falcon BMS 4.32.2 (x86) Build 10900". This allows for easier identifying of the actual applied update for the end-users (x=major, y=minor, z=micro/Update), while keeping the actual build version in there for dev reference.
- Fixed squadron patches not completely/all showing in UI logbook.
- Implemented generic Airbase validity check. "Faulty" Airbases will no longer cause a CTD, but a MonoLog output which includes the name, VU_ID and the X/Y position for tracking. Adjusted all Airbase checks in landme.cpp to use the generic check.
- Fix for BuildControllerList() CTD in case an input device is enumerated, but for some reason has no valid name string.
- Fixed possible "out of index" CTD when building video driver or resolution list.
- Corrected ObjectLOD::ReadFromFile() to ensure the target ObjectLOD stays valid (but empty) if a file error occurs. Formerly, the target ObjectLOD was partly set to undefined values in case of a file error.

Data:
- Fixed tower calling out RWY 32 at Kimpo as 31.
- Applies the fix for the M2000 additional air intakes (see U2) to the 2000-D and 2000-N cockpit 3D wings.
- A complete overhaul to TE00 Ramp start training script.
- Added proper error message string for deleting flights which contain human pilots.
- Added new dedicated SimPause and SimResume callbacks to BMS.key (unmapped), in addition to the existing SimTogglePaused callback.
- Fix for the block 32 AFM.
- Added config options which allow the MP host to invoke some restrictions:
-- set g_bAllowMP_NVG 1 // Allows the MP host to specify whether NVGs can be used (default 1/true)
-- set g_bAllowMP_Smoke 1 // Allows the MP host to specify whether Smoke can be used (default 1/true)
-- set g_nMPStartRestricted 0 // Allows the MP host to specify which startup options are allowed (default 0=RAMP/TAXI/TAKEOFF, 1=RAMP/TAXI, 2=RAMP)
- Fixes a bug with the missing HTS sensor, that prevents from locking any target when the AS-37 (anti-radiation) missile is loaded. Added a line "Has_HTS 1" to mirage2k9.dat and mirage2kd.dat
- Fixed radar not being able to acquire EF2000 and JAS39 by changing their radar surface ratio to 91% of F-16 (detection will be around 33Nm now).
- Added new options for the shared texture memory area to "Falcon BMS.cfg":
-- set g_bExportRTTTextures 0 // This enables the shared texture memory area for HUD/MFDs/HMS/RWR/DED/PFL. This is independent from BMS external window usage!
-- set g_nRTTExportBatchSize 2 // This determines how often the shared texture memory area (if it is enabled) will be updated (every Nth frame, default is 2).
- Updated rumble.ogg sound: removed crackle when playback starts (Touchdown), start and ending off rumble sample zeroised and loop optimized (thanks to Livrot).
- Corrected transparency for pilot pictures, none of them will show up "pink" anymore.
- Added squadron patches for:
-- 121st VFS Grim Griffins
-- 320vFW e-HAF
-- 323sq Nemesis
-- 324sq Grypes
-- 325sq Pelekis
-- 326sq Aspis
-- ViperDrivers
- Corrected squadron patch for:
-- 87th Straydogs (got rid of pink border)
- Removed faulty squadron patches:
-- 321 vTS Centaur
-- Ukraine Air Force

Exe:
- PS sound range limit now defaults to the sound table value. This fixes external PS volume issues.
- IVC Client and Server version adjusted to 1.0.2
- The HOJ indication on the HUD/HMS is no longer available, as it is not a real F16 feature.
- Small fixes for Maverick SMS page OSB 1 & 2 not working when no missiles left.
- Fix for the bad alpha rendering in IR camera.
- Prevent loading of PPTs/TGTs and lines when DTC load is called after changing logbook pilot, otherwise a CTD is caused if there are PPTs set in the .ini (similar to the load at sim startup).
- Make Overfly mark not to automatically mark the point on entry if the current master mode is Dogfight or MRM. TMS up is needed now.
- Allow loading of previously saved TGT STPTs, PPTs and Lines for campaigns as well when calling for a DTC load. Loading for campaigns is done from callsign.ini.
- Prevent ACs from being initialized into stall condition.
- Ensured that ECM flights will always load ECM pods.
- Fix for blocked IVC radio channel when player is busy talking as they either have the jet shot out from under them or eject.
- Team color/flag/name/motto/colonel/commander/wingman/replacements/playerrating/lastmissionplayer are all updated correctly when connecting to an online game.
- Fix for AI not able to takeoff from airstrips (ATC was missing).
- Fixed external fuel tank handling for A/C without a center HP (e.g. Su-7 BMK).
- Corrected string formatting in force level history.
- Fix for ABs with damaged runways not getting repaired.
- Fixed overspeed damage on enter mission due to invalid waypoint timings - limited to 95% of curMaxStoreSpeed.
- Rewrote the TRP FUEL warning check routine, that should fix the "TRP Fuel warning coming up too early" issue.
- Added channel validity check on the IFF page:
-- M1 range 00 to 73, 1st digit 0-7, 2nd digit 0-3 (octal, but last digit restricted)
-- M2/M2 range 0000 to 7777, all digits 0-7 (octal)
- Fixed DED ILS CRS display to include leading zeros.
- Fixed FCR ACM/CRM mode in MRM always being coupled to the current NAV or AA mode, they can be set independent now.
- Fixed the "Enable Training Script" checkbox not resetting correctly when backing out of a TE. Made sure that the "Commit" button is only active if a TE is actually selected.
- Changed the Bank Angle Indicator (BAI) on the HUD to use the newer Block version.
- Fixed optimum altitude caret (CRUS HOME), it now honors the actual HUD altitude mode (barometric/radar) correctly.
- Fixed HUD mode readout in MRM being stuck in NAV if no missiles are loaded.
- Fixed FCR BIT causing MFD primary/secondary/tertiary mode (OSBs #12,13,14) mixup. Instead, check whether FCR is configured on some MFD already, and activate that MFD page in that case. Only if FCR is not setup anywhere, change the current TEST page to FCR.
- Fixed possible deletion of non-highlighted files in the dogfight UI.
- Prevented AWACS from calling out A/C which are still on the ground as "be advised, thread bearing...". Please note that this is not a correctly modeled Doppler radar MTR (yet), hence it's a compromise, as real AWACS *could* call out ground A/C threads which are fast enough (e.g. during takeoff run). If you don't want that new behavior, just add "set g_bAWACSCallsGroundAC 1" in your config (default is 0, i.e. not calling).
- Allowed entering/displaying of leading zeros on the DED IFF page.
- Fixed E3 LOD script issues which broke some animations in simple models:
-- reverted "E3" LOD script (scriptnumber 5) to the original DOF 2 version as it was before U3, applicable for "simple" models,
-- added an additional "ComplexE3" LOD script (scriptnumber 19) for DOF 14 use, applicable for "complex" models.
-- Note: as LODEditor does not support the new scriptnumber yet, this has to be set otherwise, e.g. with a hex editor...
- Provided onscreen feedback for joystick recentering in 3D.
- Provided status results in onscreen feedback for TrackIR reloading/recentering in 3D.
- Fixed g_nDeagTimer (lead time for spawning AI) not working in MP.
- Fixed SimPause and SimResume callbacks not being available.
- Corrected DED CNI and STPT page STP/IP/TGT mnemonics behavior: the steerpoint rotary mnemonic and number (STPT xx, IP xx, TGT xx) will usually be shown as STPT xx now. IP xx will only be shown if VIP is active, TGT will only be shown if VRP is active.
- Fixed missing leading 00 for times after midnight for the DED TOS lines on ICP List/DEST and ICP STPT.
- If the obogs breathing sound is active, it will now be muted once you transmit on the radios.
- NWS is not available anymore if LG has been lowered using ALT GEAR.
- Fixed ICP CRUS page DES TOS editing, it does properly handle the current day now:
-- all entered times (hh:mm:ss) will be based on the current day.
-- if a time is entered which is in the past (based on a 24h clock), a time for the *next* day will be assumed.
- Fixed IVC, UHF/GUARD not separating properly.
- Corrected DED UHF/VHF page behavior:
-- PRE will always display the value/frequency of the latest active preset channel upon entering the page.
-- PRE will be highlighted if a preset is active (*a* preset, not necessarily *the* preset currently inreview).
- Made sure AI radio messages can only be received if the corresponding radio is actually powered on. This fixes e.g. the "radio subtitle cheat" issue. Note: As the AI radio system is still not frequency aware, it is possible (though not likely), that the new functionality suppresses radio messages which is was not supposed to suppress. In that case, the behavior can be reverted by setting "set g_bAllowAICommsDrop_NoRadioPower 0".
- Fixed VHF proximity preset filtering.
- Fixed HSI bearing to beacon needle pointing to TACAN while out-of-range in Tacan-ILS mode.
- Fixed radar lock being maintained after the player has landed.
- Fixed UHF preset never kick in when preset is set as default in DTC comm.
- The UHF DTC channels 15-19 will now be *copied* to the BUP presets 15-19 upon entering 3D. This is ONLY a temporary stop-gap "hack" to enable some kind of manual control for the BUP radio (i.e. for tower communications) until MAN freq tuning for the BUP radio is available. Yes, we know it's not "as real as it gets", but again, this is a *temporary* convenience hack only.
- Added freely adjustable 3D mouse sensitivity. Can be configured with the new config option "g_fMouseSensitivity" (default 1.0). Note: anything *below* 1.0 will simply set the sensitivity to "half". That should not be an issue, as all reports were complaining about "too low" sensitivity, i.e. people will choose settings > 1.0 anyway. Try 1.2 to 1.5 for good results.
- Added new callback RecenterJoystick. This will enable the same "center joystick" (pitch/roll/yaw) functionality from the UI to be available in 3D as well.
- Go to x1 compression 5sec early when launching to ramp/taxi/runway from above x1 time compression, to make sure all network queues had some time to process/sync before launch.
- FalconEditor Objective Editor menus fixed (double actions).


Data:
- Fixed the RF Campaign "win" conditions to be back to P'Yongyang and Wonsan, (no more Hamhung). Adjusted the ATO, for balance, reducing the number of Blue Force squadrons. Reduced F-5E, removed F-15C's, B1-B's, B-52's, and F-16C Block 50 from initial activation.
- Sound table and PS.ini changes to fix the silence in external views, and also allow some effects feedback in cockpit when sound effects slider is anywhere right to the "with earplugs" default setting. Also made ship sailing sound and thunder sound stronger in general.
- Changed some PS effects:
-- GP500, GP750, GP1000 and GP2000 bombs
-- Maverick effect
-- Secondary explosion for features and vehicles
- Added training water bomb (like ITO red/blue bombs) PS effect.
- Added Kolbe's Keyfile Generator and Keystroke Files, Ver 1.5 - Update 1 to the User/Joystick/Generic directory. Check [Πρέπει να είστε εγγεγραμμένοι και συνδεδεμένοι για να δείτε αυτόν το σύνδεσμο.] for updates and support.
- Updated THEATER.MEA to match current BMS Korea terrain data. This corrects the minimum flight and attack altitudes for A.I. flights.
- Added RedDogs BMS 4.32 Dash 1 manual to the BMS doc folder.
- Updated "Keyfile-generator.xls" to reflect 4.32 U4 callback changes.
- Fix preventing the FAC role to be displayed in mission list when a/c’s FAC role is 0% in database role score.
- Updated the Logbook Pilot Pictures.
- Corrected the operability status for the NS/EW highway strips, i.e. ensured that the HQ planning and AI correctly honor the runway damaged/destroyed status.
- Fixed AI being unable to takeoff from EW Highway Strips.
- Corrected the F16s fuel transfer rates for the centerline tank from 20.0 to 18.0 and for the wingtanks from 33.3 to 30.0 (in 1000s pph).
- Increased viewlimit_pitch_down for all F16 3dckpit.dat files from 50 to 70, in order to make TrackIT/MouseLook movements towards the panels not to feel artificially limited.
- Fixes TOW missile exploding before hitting the target.
- New sun texture, fixes the distorted look when players have blur and bloom off (Note: this might lead to an "elliptic" sun for some players, depending on the sun position at the skydome. However, we figured that this is better than the "sun with corners" that we had before).
- Sorted the Wingman Combat Management radio pages to be in the correct order.
- Adjusted EWS defaults in DTC, fixing the "Chaff Flare Release All" bug when you enter 3D w/o a valid DTC.
- Updated camp files to match changed squadron stored data plus some minor adjustments.
- Adjusted squadron stores for F-16C-25, F-16C-30, F-16C-32, F-16C-TB, F-16C-AGRS, F-16C-40, F-16D-40, F-16C-42, F-16C-50, F-16C-52, F-16D-52 to match RL loadout (only usage of ALQ-184, no more ALQ-131).
- Added SimDedBrightness callback (unmapped) to BMS.key and keystrokes.key.
- Corrected some UI IRC files, they included (invalid) comments which broke the parsing, which lead to some texts not showing up correctly in the UI.
- All onscreen overlay fonts use Arial now, to have them consistent across all resolutions, adjusted radio menu popup box sizes in all resolutions accordingly, implemented ALL common screen resolutions, added info for customized resolutions.
- Added new misc config option g_bAllowAICommsDrop_NoRadioPower (default 1). See code changenotes for details.
- Added new misc config option g_fMouseSensitivity (default 1.0). See code changenotes for details.
- Added new callback RecenterJoystick to BMS.key/keystrokes.key (unmapped). This will enable the same "center joystick" (pitch/roll/yaw) functionality from the UI to be available in 3D as well.
- Corrected Read/Deag timer comments in the config file, they were reversed.
- Added squadron patches for:
-- 373 sqn
-- 373 dragons
-- 373 ghosts
- Added faces to the rear of the F16 cockpit seat model to fix the shadow not being generated correctly in the 3D cockpit.
- Reverted parent 1415 lod0 to previous version so the mast rotates on DOF 3 again and not 14.

Exe:
- Improved FPS.
- Set LargeAddressAware flag on 32 bit executables.
- Fixed squadron patches showing up transparent.
- Fix the "Load Error" message in UI when loading the DTC.
- Fix for the FCR BIT timer going into negative count if the FCR isn't displayed on MFD at the moment that the count reaches 0.
- Allow the TGP to set the ground spot position to the trackpoint if it’s in A-G mode and displayed on one of the MFDs. That will force deaggregation of entities close to the trackpoint.
- Set default PS emitter activeRange to 300K feet. Some effects use greater visibleDistanceScale than the previously defined activeRange - 100K feet.
- Candidate fix for the problem where dumb bombs appeared never to hit in 2D world. This seems in fact to be because making bombs with range of zero means they have a low single digit chance to hit rather than no chance...wrong either way. This change makes the hit chances more reasonable at the expense of a very small boost in chances for stand-off weapons fired in 2D. Note: this corresponds to a data change: all dumb bombs should be marked range equal zero now.
- FalconEditor updates. Ability to edit alternative theaters.
- Fix for problem with data mismatch for internal fuel vs. sum of all internal fuel tanks which did lead to problem not disconnecting from boom.
- Fix for new CL calculation where maybe some rounding error will cause trouble.
- Turbulence in U4 is heavily broken. Fixed now.
- Fix for the missing AIM-120 Reticle in MRM mode. Fix for AIM-120s in MRM mode showing "SRM" HUD string, it’s now "MRM" again.
- Reverted fix for AI not able to takeoff from airstrips, as it had negative side-effects.
- Vcas could have been updated incorrectly.
- A race condition existed where clients would receive other client's FalconSessions before the F4Comm's code flagged the connections as being connected. This would then set the FalconSession's IsConnected state to false. VU would then cull that session shortly afterwards.
- Changed degree symbol in recon window to show up as '*' instead of '^' (the proper '°' is currently not available in the screen font).
- Added new config option g_bCenterUI (default 0/false). If set to 1/true, the 2D UI will be centered horizontally and vertically on the desktop, instead of honoring the 3D window position coordinates. Like this, ppl with multiple screens in use (e.g. TripleHead2Go or EyeFinity) can center the 2D UI, while still having the 3D spanning all the screens. Note that if g_bCenterUI is true, the coordinates for the main screen will not be saved back to windowconfig.dat in case the window is moved (e.g. because borders are active).
- Added config option g_nMaxAIvsIVCOffset (default 500, range 0-10000) which specifies the maximum +/- offset of the "AI vs IVC" volume. This option should allow for further testing of valid offsets, as it has been reported that the AI vs IVC balance functionality has no or very little effect.
- Fix for clients who could not, or took ages to connect to each other.
- Fix to get GM radar to render objects.
- Fixed culling issues on objects displayed in GM radar, and make objects render in white.
- Fixed the wrong win/loose/tie counting bug in the logbook.
- Fixed CTD in EyeFly.
- Fixed (some) vanishing objects in EyeFly view.
- Fixed FPM in Drift C/O, it was translated relative to the wing plane before, it's now correctly translated relative to the horizon plane instead.
- Fixed remaining invisible A/C in MP.


Data:
- Added Campground VFS squadron patch.
- Corrected patch IDs. Attention: Your logbook might show a different squad patch in U5 than you actually expect, because some IDs have been re-ordered. In that case, simply change the squad patch, this is a one-time-only issue.
- Updates for weapon data so that dumb bombs are marked range equal zero. I've edited the ones I know about that had non-zero ranges but more may remain -- this needs checking. As of code change, dumb bombs ought to be range zero in all cases.
- Added HAF pilot pictures and 16th squad patches.
- Bad data for internal fuel vs. sum of all fuel tanks did lead to problem not disconnecting from boom.
- Fix for fluttering left aileron on A-10.
- Added "set g_bCenterUI 0" to the config MISC section. See code changelog for details.

- Updated Kolbe's DX Generator and Keystroke Files to Ver 1.6 (User/Joystick/Generic).
- Updated all Mirage 2000 cockpits to add support for ECM Power switch.

Exe:
- Fixed CTD in RadarDopplerClass::AddTargetReturns().
- Fixed (or rather: circumvented) CTD in ATCBrain::GetRunwayName(). In case invalid runway data is passed, there will be a corresponding MonoLog entry now, which should help in tracking down where the invalid data originated.
- Fixed a memory leak in the former ghost A/C patch.
- Disabled unnecessary mipmap generation for environment map.
- Improved accuracy of raindrop effect, should fix blocky pixels reported by some users.
- Minor branching optimization in vertex shaders.
- Fix for the campaign engine loading dumb bombs too often.

Data:
- Fixed Yongwol Bridge bad placement for every campaign.
- Changed default player options and online rules to full realistic settings.
- Added squadron patch for 1st VFW.
- Adding missing Mirage 3dbuttons.dat files for ckptartn directory to have ECM functional at night.
- Changed AGM-154A JSOW hit chances so ATO will not load them for strikes against static targets.

- Fixed a CTD in MP which occurred if a client tried to issue movement commands to ground units. Note: this does not fix the ground unit movement command issues which still exist in 4.32, it simply avoids the CTD.
- The 2d map popup options (i.e. which objects are visible on the map) are now saved as part of the DTC. Physically, the data will be saved in the <callsign>.ini file.
- Added two new dedicated keyboard callbacks “AFCanopyOpen” and “AFCanopyClose” in addition to the existing “AFCanopyToggle” callback. The callbacks have not been added to the keyfiles, you have to add them yourself in case you want to use them.
- Recompiled all executables (BMS, Editor, IVC) with adjusted compiler settings, Windows XP SP2 is now the minimum supported operating system (was “vanilla” XP before). Note that this is only a “technical” detail. The BMS minimum OS policy as stated in the forum still applies.

Data:
- No changes.
