Falcon 4.0

Good game that only gets goodlier as more and more people download the free Falcon BMS mod

Imagine reading 300 pages of tutorial how to fly an ACTUAL F16 for game that is 25+ years old... crazy isnt it? Right?
Best sim of modern planes excluding Falcon 4.0 mod Falcon BMS

fun and simple yet still accurate enough to keep you interested

I've only played vanilla. I connected a Xbox Controller and that simplified the controls for me greatly. Its fun. Plane.

i like it
you need a joystick to have fun
yeah

Can not get CH Pro Throttle USB to work with the CH Fighter Stick USB. Only can get the Fighter stick to work in the game.
Very disappointed in this problem which I cannot solve.
I do not recommend this game for that reason. Do not know which controllers work with this game. Am running Windows 11. Could this be the problem??

Buy this game for Falcon BMS!

This by itself probably won't run on your pc.
Which is fine, because this is just the base product for Falcon BMS,
which you can and should install from falcon-bms.com

Don't check my playtime for this one because I have only purchased this to play the community mod "Falcon BMS" which is absolutely worth it. One of the best simulator on the PC, I would even argue that it rivals DCS in terms of simulation.

Falcon 4.0 was quite good, but now quite outdated, Falcon BMS is really good, although i think the FOV does feel a little zoomed in even at max zoomed out.
And essentially its just like playing with the F-16 in DCS, but it doesn't cost $100, and i think the only thing holding this game back is the keybinds, which trying to sort through & change the keybinds in some other games can take a few hours but you get there in the end, with this game you've gotta have some serious dedication to be able to sort and change the keybinds, and it will likley takes multiple full days.
If that doesn't stop you and you do have the time on your hands to change the keybinds, then i definitely recommend the game, if not, maybe this isn't the game for you.

By the way, Falcon BMS doesn't run off steam so it doesn't affect the steam playtime, but you do need Falcon 4.0 to play Falcon BMS.

It takes me .2 hours to install BMS

Real Pilot

The only flight simulator to feature a dynamic campaign. Sad!

COOL GAME OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

very good

Great game on it's own then enter Falcon BMS community mod. If you want a hands down great dynamic campaign for solo or multiplayer and almost 100% fully modeled systems/controls and accurate flight model this is it. Very accurate study level sim. You have to be willing to put time in to learn but it's worth it and they just added VR support for those into that.

with bms you get a better f-16c and f-15c experience than dcs while also being 93% cheaper given you dont buy any maps. if you enjoy combat flight sims definitely get this, though be aware as with any simulator there is a steep learning curve ahead. thank you microprose and bms team <3

I played this a lot back then, also online in Squadrons. Great sim with unique dynamics campaing generator algorithm which source code is being used till Today in Falcon BMS. Really can't wait for Falcon 5.0 which going to use Outerra Sandbox engine.
