ISO|Atari Games|PC Game XP OS|681MB|Release Jun 28 2005This is one of those simulators that is more then just a game its the real deal get ready to learn how to fly a Falcon FighterJetFor those who are wholly unfamiliar with this game, Falcon 4.0 is an exact simulation of the F-16 Fighting Falcon. Also known as the Electric Jet, the Lawn Dart, or, more popularly, the Viper, the F-16 is one of the most versatile fighters ever created. Its legendary maneuverability makes it a superb dogfighter, but it also has enough power to carry a respectable load of air-to-ground munitions for mud moving when necessary. This simulation lets you try your hand at both roles in instant action, single missions, or several incredible dynamic campaigns that are set in the Korean Peninsula and the Balkans.The entire simulation has had a graphic overhaul, and the 2D cockpit looks as good as that of any modern simulation. All of the F-16's knobs, switches, and handles are depicted in photo-realistic detail, and the mouse can be used to interact with most of them. A heads-up display rendered on the front of the cockpit provides enough information to perform most tasks without needing to reference the cockpit instruments. The display changes depending on the type of weapon that is selected and the radar or targeting mode that is currently in use. The F-16's two trademark multifunction displays are displayed with terrific detail, and it takes hours of practice to become familiar with their seemingly endless menu pages and settings.The 3D cockpit allows for smooth-view panning, though it's not interactive and it's extremely crude compared to the wonderful 2D cockpit. Fortunately, it works excellently with the simulation's many excellent padlock views, which smoothly keep your virtual head pointed at a selected target, since your eyes are on the target and rarely need detailed cockpit information. Cockpit reflections and a lift line displayed on the top of the cockpit are tremendously helpful in letting you maintain a sense of your plane's orientation in a swirling dogfight.Sounds can generally be overlooked in a simulation as long as they don't interfere with the game, but here they enhance the action immeasurably. Air traffic controllers direct you around the airbase, chewing you out if you take off or land without permission. The radio is alive with chatter from other units in your operational area, cueing you into the various targets and installations that are scattered around the map. Within the plane the engine, weapons, landing gear, and various warning horns and beeps all sound fantastic, and the infamous Bitchin Betty is there to let you know when you are flying too low (fortunately, a flick of a switch is all it takes to turn her off when you're flying at the nape of the earth to avoid radar and surface-to-air missiles. If you're a sim fan in general or a Falcon 4.0 aficionado in particular, this version of the game has pretty much everything going for it. thanks to the plethora of missions, the inclusion of a mission editor, and especially the several dynamic campaigns, the sim offers limitless replayability. Multiplayer mode finally works well and is a blast either head-to-head or in cooperative mode with up to 16 total players, adding even more value to the game. Newcomers should know by now what they are getting into, but there's an entirely different life waiting in this flight simulator for those willing to take the time to invest and learn how to really fly a Jet Fighter.You can even record your whole flight and save it to play back afterwards. This game may be almost 5 years old but it still has the ability to keep die-hard fans playing it...now thats something in itself. Some may like Simulator X by MicroSoft with all its add-on packs but to me this Jet rocks without a doubt its a real sim not just a game. Screenshots To see this baby in action with music playing Rammstien in the back-ground go see this video from You Tube there are many others aswell. Features:Participate in cooperative or adversarial multi-player flight over a LAN or internet.Bomb damage may or may not be repaired, depending on enemy resources and command.Pilot three different variants of the F-16 Fighting Falcon.Shoot a variety of air-to-air missiles like the AIM-120 AMRAAM and AIM-9 Sidewinder.Simulate an entire war with the most advanced and truly dynamic campaign engine ever made for your PC.Product DescriptionThe legend returns! Falcon 4.0: Allied Force is the most comprehensive and powerful combat flight simulator ever made for non-military use. It's just like sitting in the real cockpit. Features incredible attention to accuracy and simulation fidelity. Enhanced with new features and a new theater of operations covering the Balkans and Korean Peninsula.Note: If you want to play this simulator then you will need a combination of mouse keyboard and joystick. And alot of patience to learn things. There will be a lot of pre-mission planning, HUD and RADAR modes to switch between, dials to press so that when you need something that you want to happen it will happen the way you want it...and the right way or else kiss the ground and waste an expensive Jet lol. All in all, it's one of the most brutal and demanding .. I mean, realistic flight simulators I think anyway but I like that. And because of this, it has a lot of fans, i.e. those who want a true flight sim and not a flight game. Get ready to read a lengthy pilot manual and maybe even watch YouTube video tutorials they may be of some help. Hell it took me 20 mins to figure out how to take off lol now thats some serious stuff alot of buttons to push. But I loved every moment of it....this is what I call a real good jet simulator...I know there may be others but this one is the best in my view so far.
