It was with great anticipation that those of us on the SimHQ review team received our copies of F4:AF. It is obvious that they hope to appeal to the ranks of seasoned Falcon 4.0 veterans as well as new players and those who have not played the simulation in quite some time.
#FALCON 4.0 ALLIED FORCE CODE#
According to Lead Pursuit, Falcon 4.0’s code has been heavily modified, making it more stable, including areas such as the AI, graphics (including new cockpits and volumetric clouds), multiplayer, and refinements to the renown Falcon 4.0 Campaign Engine. It is our feeling that, in many ways, this is a new beginning.įalcon 4.0: Allied Force promises to be the first of what is called the “Battlefield Operations” series. We may from time-to-time compare and contrast F4:AF to previous F4 versions, but more in a generic sense rather than a specific build combination with all the myriad combination of possible components. While the Falcon 4.0 community certainly is well aware of the history and evolution of Falcon 4.0, we are going to concentrate on reviewing a stand-alone product.
#FALCON 4.0 ALLIED FORCE SERIES#
Succeeding chapters in the series will focus on particular areas, such as Multiplayer, Performance, Campaign, New User Guidelines, and more. We will begin with an overview of this very deep simulation. Welcome to Part 1 of our Falcon 4.0: Allied Force Review series. It heralds yet another milestone in the story of what many feel is simply the greatest air combat simulation ever made for the computer. That is, until now.Falcon 4.0: Allied Force developed by Lead Pursuit LLC and published by Graphsim has arrived. The secret to the Falcon series has always been balancing the campaign with the flight simulation.”Īstonishing as it may seem, there has only been one commercial release of Falcon 4.0. “We want to suspend your disbelief and to give you a better understanding of a pilot’s role in a large-scale engagement. In the words of Falcon’s Producer Gilman Louie, Meanwhile, the player is immersed in the air combat simulation and directly involved in influencing the outcome of that war. Because of it’s dynamic campaign, Falcon is continually fighting a theatre-wide war, with ground, naval, and air units. To them, the community owes much.įalcon 4.0 is really two simulations in one.

People who have contributed their time and efforts to make Falcon better than it was the day before. In the six years that have followed that initial release, much of the work that has developed Falcon into the different versions and combinations we see today has been the result of dedicated volunteers and pay add-on makers. It also shares other simulation terms that, in Falcon, tend to have enhanced meaning, such as “FLOT”, “goat-rope”, “memory leak”, “dynamic campaign”, and “suspension of disbelief”. The simulation has its own lexicon, words like “the bubble”, “wall of MiGs”, “The Dance”, and others. And yet, with all of that, there were unrealized dreams, outright failures, mind-boggling problems, setbacks, compromises, and struggles.

Released by Microprose in December 1998, the story of Falcon 4.0 is one of true inspiration and vision, amazing accomplishments, hard work, tremendous sacrifice, and above all else, passion.

In the roughly two decade history of PC computer flight simulations, no combat flight sim has garnered more attention than Falcon 4.0. By Chris “BeachAV8R” Frishmuth and Tom “20mm” Hayden
