Okay so its gone down to 45$ now, wonderful. I'm not going to pay that much for a game made in 1998, just so I can run a community mod.

Not sure where you live, but showing as <USD 20 here:

Falcon 4.0 binder

This is the full-blown edition with the folder, which even as a legacy item is a great read, and three-quarters relevant.

BMS is more full game than community mod, FYI- even at $45, well worth it.

If you're really struggling, I've got a spare original disk.

And all you need is the exe from F4. I bought F4 about 7 years ago, but couldn't get the game to work on my current computer. Good thing I have squadmates.

Your choice then but don't come on here whinging about it.

BMS is worth it - it really does make a new game out of F4. The only thing that's kept from F4 is the bad ground tiles... but that's being worked on by FLARE and FLARE is going to be BMS only not FF. Add in the upcoming stunning F-18A/C 3d pit and somehow $45 is starting to look a little cheap for what you can get out of it.

But by all means stick to FF with its shoddy network code and bad 3d pit.

Your loss. That'll be the best 45 bucks you'll ever spend IF:

a. You love flight
b. You love jets
c. You love an intense, strategic challenge
d. You like things rich and complex
e. You like jets in multiplayer--BMS is the _ONLY_ other version than Allied Force to have stable, solid multiplayer

Falcon is one of the greatest simulators ever made. The mods have made it far, far greater. There really is no equal except maybe the DCS series, but, with them, they don't have a dynamic campaign. So, really, there is no equal in jet sims. If you go to helo sims, the closest you get is EECH with it's dynamic campaign, or Longbow 2 with its pseudo campaign.

Shell out the money. You won't be dissapointed. BMS truly raises the bar and gives us capabilities we only dreamed of having in Falcon for the last decade.

And, new theatres is beeing worked on.

Also F.L.A.R.E is coming up.

OK, BMS has a few minor flaws, but see it as a beta, it's kickin a.....

Check Amazon. A bunch of used copies at around $25

If you are a serious modern combat flight simmer, you need to reconsider that attitude. ;-)

FF is a dead end.
