Like any modern aircraft simulation, mastery over instrumentation and readouts will be just as important as the ability to fly, and the F-16C has more than its share of instruments to learn. In order to appreciate this title to the fullest you'll need to learn a lot, and this applies to sim jockeys as well as novices. The Adrenaline Vault's review explains why every die-hard flight sim fan should play this game: ' Falcon 4.0 is the most complex, sophisticated, and realistic simulation I have ever come across, and that list includes the likes of Back to Baghdad and SU-27 Flanker. In May 2001, G2 Interactive purchased rights for Falcon series and is currently developing Falcon 5.' These two weren't compatible until they were combined in a project called SuperPAK. Another team called Ibeta was making realism patches for the game using hex editing. The next major event for the community was in April 2000 when the Falcon source code leaked to the public.

Several patches were released but in 7th of December 1999, Hasbro laid off the Falcon team. Gilman Louie and some other developers of Falcon 3.0 was hired to assist and the game was eventually released with horrible bugs in the code. The game trivia page at MobyGames describes the trials and tribulation of this post-patched classic: 'After numerous delays, and the acquisition of Microprose by Hasbro, the new management team set deadline to December 1998. So I can't see me ever installing BMS again - just too much going on in DCS I'm afraid.Arguably THE most realistic flight simulation ever created, Falcon 4.0 suffers many bugs at the time of release, but fortunately thanks to a 'leaked' source code in 2000, the game is now being actively updated and improved by many groups of dedicated fans. Not to mention having a fully functional carrier to perform ops from. And there's an AH-64D and a Hind coming to DCS - as well as a Mosquito and a dynamic campaign. I know it's superior in some ways - particularly the campaign and perhaps even content - but I love my DCS. Not for any other reason really than I have my hands full learning my DCS modules. I know it's came a long way since then and it's got hundreds of thousands of followers - but I'm not one of them. I have to say - going back to your post - that I tried BMS some time ago and it was a helluva mess to get installed and working. I also have Microsoft Flight Sim, the IL2 - Battle of series, X-Plane and Rise of Flight.ĭCS is my go to for blowing shit up and MSFS is my calming jaunt allowing me to go from A to B stress free. I have DCS - must've spent over £500 on modules for it.
