Along with 4 additional theaters and additional cockpits.

Even if BMS is such a fantastic iteration of Falcon, there are things that FF6 still does better (and a few AF does a lot better too). And I also credit the FF releases to have kept me interested in flying Falcon to this day.

But after flying BMS for a while, the age of the FF graphics starts to show. I know it's not about the graphics, but still...

The perfect Falcon would have the looks and stability of BMS, plus the database enhancements of Free Falcon.

I have not as yet had a single crash/lock-up/bluescreen with BMS. Had two CTD's since installing this yesterday.

I am not too critical of FF, because thats how it has always been with Falcon4, and I played the hell out of FF3/4/5. Its just that I have been spoilt by BMS.

I would not recommend FF to a newbie before BMS - would you? frown

Who in their right mind cares to take part in a CTD experiment.
Even the moderators there tell me they have CTD every time they launch a session.
What in the hell is wrong w/people that they must put themselves thru so much torture.
Yes, BMS is sweet and Allied is sweet. FF5 gave me nothing but fits on my end.
Adding more theaters made the problem worse.

Funny how I can run WoP, BoB, and IL-1946 w/ease on this little choo-choo.
And not one CTD from any of them.

FF5 fans need a vacation and a good shrink.

I had good luck with FF5.5 and appreciate the work the team put into it. Some people had worse luck with the series, I realize. Others fared well. Personally, I am pleased to have two additional flavors available of the greatest flight sim of all time, in addition to the AF commercial release.

Congrats to the FF team for this release.

To be honest, I haven't touched FF for many months now, as I'm running out of hair to pull, and BMS is far superior, but I'll ALWAYS advocate more flavours of Falcon, not fewer. The Israeli Theatre is a perfect example of why I feel this way. The awesome work done for FF with ITO made its way into BMS too, and now we're all loving it.

So once again, I may never fly FF6, but well done to the FF team, keep 'em coming.

Can F4AF, BMS, and FF6 all coexist on the same Windows 7 64bit machine without any issues or hacks necessary?

I really liked the Auto ACQ and TWS multi firing in FF5.5, along with the fact that stealth aircraft were stealthy when you flew them... if obviously too perfectly stealthy. Also fantastic weather, though I haven't used BMS enough yet to tell if it has that or not. The CTDs were really annoying, though. But I'd like to give it a shot again. BMS is very cool, has the sniper pod, and head mounted cuing similar (actually even better) than AF. But they all do good things.


The ultimate falcon would have graphics that could be scaled from AF's lowest settings all the way up to BMS's highest and the features of all the sims combined. Oh... and winds aloft, but like half what AF has. Somehow it's hard to deal with 95kt winds all the time.

Shouldnt be a problem - there are 3 totally separate installs there - you dont need Falcon 4.0 installed for BMS even if you do for FF6, and AF is totally separate.
