In all, Falcon 4.0 is the deepest, most complex air combat sim yet. Most airports are faithfully modeled after their real-world counterparts, right down to their individual flight operations procedures, taxiway paths, and parking areas. The flight model feels intuitively accurate, featuring a wide variety of phenomena such as six degrees of inertia and an honest appreciation for the effects of mass and drag. The terrain engine itself is outstanding for a combat sim, offering a remarkable sense of speed as well as graphic detail not entirely unlike Flight Unlimited 2. The radio alone features two tuners which are independently switchable among six different communications nets as desired. Still, despite the delays and the flaws, and after some subsequent patching, Falcon 4.0 had truly become a virtual fighter pilots dream and the definitive F-16 simulation.īetween the environment, flight and systems modeling, Falcon 4.0 can stand on its own as a full-featured general aviation sim.

It possessed a double personality disorder almost certain to inspire a love/hate relationship with consumers. After years of development, Falcon 4.0 was released to the public just a few months too soon.
