So nice to see the installer of MicroProse again - made me laugh a little smile

This is a great day in Falcon history.

Let me tell you - this is a MAJOR MAJOR update ... almost rewrite of Falcon.

Wait until you feel the difference flying the new flight model. It's been tested by active F-16 pilots amongst others.
Landing is a whole new ball game now, and with the weather modelling ... it's a very new beast.

Be prepared to be a student again!

Cheers

Sorry to be so skeptical... But it can´t be. I mean, I´m downloading it now.

If it´s true HALF of the things there are in Retro´s flick... Seriously, can´t believe it.
No way, not falcon 4.

Does not compute.

Don´t tell me the F-16 lands worse than before! biggrin When I came back to AF some months ago I tried to land it like a Flanker and of course crashed it. biggrin Hmm I hope they fixed the AF error with the F-16 Engine power. Well DCS:A-10C can wait a while longer.

Falcon never dies! Long live Falcon!

Quote:
While Falcon BMS (and Falcon 4.0 in general) is nominally an F-16 simulation, there has always been some interest in naval operations within the simulation.

In the attached PDF, this article describes improvements made to Carrier/Naval Operations in BMS. The highlights are:

It is now possible to assign naval units in campaign(s) and tactical engagement (TE) missions in the Mission Editor with aircraft squadrons assigned to them.
A carrier unit is now essentially treated the same as a land airbase and has ATC (Tower) and TACAN capability.
Human pilots may spawn in parking, taxi, takeoff, land and taxi to parking on carriers along with AI aircraft.
The carrier has a much more realistic catapult and cable arresting system designed in concert with the Advanced Flight Model (AFM) for various naval aircraft (F-14, F-18 ).
Guidance for campaign/theater developers on how to add naval units to their theaters.

If you have a soft spot in you for naval operations, give it a try!

I cant believe its out.
As far as I see it looks stunning, but lets wait until we see what is under the hood.
Bye bye Falcon4AF? We'll see some debates in the future I am sure... smile
