How many pages are there in the Falcon 4.0 (1998) Manual? - 02/06/15 02:30 AM

Hi all,

Today my binder copy of Falcon 4.0 I got on eBay a few days ago has arrived, I got it with the intention of collecting and maybe play Falcon BMS with it. One of things I noticed, though, was that the dividers for the manual (there's 5 parts to the manual, so 5 dividers) were placed all the way in the back of the manual, possibly by a previous owner. This has me worried about the possibility of missing pages.

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

If you have BMS installed, you can cross check by looking in the following folder for the pdf version of the manual.

:\Program Files\Falcon BMS 4.32\Docs\Falcon 4 Legacy Manuals\1 - Falcon 4.0 Original Manual

That was one of my thoughts, that it was possibly the way it came out of the factory. Last night I decided to put the dividers into their respective spots.

Thanks for all of the information, everyone!

Thank you!

At least I got lucky with that listing. It was either that or pay about x1.5 more than what I paid for this binder. Heck, this binder even had the registration and $20.00 rebate cards.

I went looking for mine after not touching it for maybe 10 years. Wow! Found my receipt inside. 12/20/98 and $39.99. The quality and breadth of the material is simply astounding compared with today's downloaded delivery method.

I recently purchased a set of Falcon 4.0 documentation off eBay and created an account here to say that the Falcon 4.0 Flight Handbook / Manual Chapter 14 has 8 pages, i.e. the above 14-6 should be 14-8 .

Also the above beginning Cards took page should be Cardstock to match the ending Cardstock .

I have still the original manual.

Sometime I go and read it again. Old school, when a manual was given when you were buying the software. Now is all digital!

It is not the same.

Funny with the grey pages and Bonanni together with his moustache!
