I'll probably grab it for PC if the reviews are decent. Cant read any right now.

What a difference from the old Jane's titled games.

When I see a Jane's game I expect a flight manual to comes with it. Those manual's use to explain lift on heli's and jets. Not to mention advanced techniques like auto-rotation, like I would ever need to do it.

This is totally stripped down from the flight sims of the early 90's. I think I'll pass but thanks for sharing. There might be hope for something like that again.

Sign of the times I guess. Sucks. I used to study my Falcon manual for hours.

Same! Those days are long gone. Falcon 4.0 and Janes AH-64D were two of the greatest flight sims ever.

Just from reading some simple press about this game, I can tell it's no where close to what used to be considered a flight-sim.

I still fly F4, but the Jane sims are a part of my youth.

Off topic: I don't see many flight sim threads. Any of you guys fly the DCS sims (A-10 or Black Shark)?

How does F4 work nowadays? Are there people still keeping it alive with graphic updates or something? Been a long time and I no longer have any of the gear (Joystick, throttle, rudders).

I do remember the A-10 sim, but barely. What I do remember was the flight model was kinda floaty.

There is a new A-10 sim released last year. Pretty much the genre standard now.

There was a new Falcon 4 update by the the community. Updated graphics and 3D interactive cockpit. It's called Falcon 4 BMS and was released in September. You just need the original disk to update it.
