4.35 released: what does it changes for us:

[Red Dog]

Today the latest 4.35 version of BMS has been released:

What it changes for pitbuilders:

- mandatory use of RTT now for display extraction as older BMS native version of extraction are not supported anymore
- although Yame was kinda hard to get to work with 4.34, YAME work in the same way in 4.35

- Anti ice implemented (right side 3 position sw needed for anti-ice)
- Gear solenoid & Down lock release button implemented (gear panel)
- Anti-skid implemented  (gear panel, need a 3 post mag switch mag to PB and guarded to Anti-skid)
- JFS START 1 implemented  (need a 3 position mag switch for JFS)
- Arrestor system implemented at non generic airbases (hook switch)
- better implementation of the alternate gear system (pull handle and reset button)
- Canopy switch implemented (3 pos) and protected by Spider
- Spider switch implemented (pressure switch starts pressurisation)
- Brake channel system completely implemented (2 channels redundant from FLCCS - need 2 pos switch for CHAN1and 2 on gear panel)
- FLCC branches are true quad and not a single one anymore , they can fail independently
- Taxi light / landing light implementation (need a 3 pos switch)
- Seat Adjust Up/ Down (right side wall)
- knobs now assigned to a analogue axis will register movement (COM1, COM2, etc etc).
- More steps for INT lights knobs

-AIC, Oded, Martin's software, Simshaker, Yame and TIR remains compatible


Out of the blue the above are the stuff that may need to be updated in your cockpits. For the rest, please refer to the BMS forum and enjoy the latest Opus

Thanks for the info @Red Dog

- Gear solenoid & Down lock release button implemented (gear panel)

What does that mean for us? Most of us have this implemented on the cockpit independent from BMS. When the virtual solenoid fails and  our real one does not, then theres a problem...

The solution would be an extra switch inside the LG box detecting the Down lock release button when pushed.

...or perhaps a relay?  That way if BMS throws a fault the RW switch/solenoid will just go inop as well.

4.35 has a solenoid status bit in the shared memory.
The real solenoid can receive power from this bit, thus simulating a solenoid failure.
The Down lock release button is easy. All you need is plunger switch inside the gear box.

Thanks for the input guys!
Will discuss that with pegasus

What is RTT?  I use MFD Extractor.

[Rufus]

I've been asking myself the same question...RTT is another SM display extractor client that is now apparently built into BMS.  I recall looking it up some time ago and I recall it being a commercial product - but don't quote me strictly.

I'll be very interested in hearing if MFDE still works, because it is what I'm most familiar with... .

WOW!  This is a very interesting and exciting update in my opinion.  I love any added details that improve realism and it seems there are several good ones with this version.  For instance, a lot of guys may not care about the anti-ice functionality, but I think that is awesome!  Every time another system is  added or improved upon it's a big deal to me. 

Kudos and a HUGE thanks to the BMS developers for their time and efforts to make these fantastic improvements that we all benefit from.  Keep it up guys!

They should care about the anti ice system. There are dire consequences if they don't.

...I'm just glad that I've been buying/hording switches that provide ALL of the switch positions indicated on each panel... !
