Great Fun and Scalable to Varying Levels
This game/sim is great fun.
It has a truly dynamic campaign, which means that your actions do impact
the outcome. There isn't another game out there where there is so much
going on "in the background" that, aside from playing the game, you can
see and use to impact on how you play the game.
I'm no kid, so I
don't have time to learn many complex features or learn how to do it on a
real F-16. So, while you can have all of the true to life
features/requirements of the real jet if you want, you can also scale
those down to simplified avionics, etc. There are about 30 training
missions with specific instructions on completing them, which cover the
major aspects of handling the jet.
As for documentation, if you
do want to do all of the "realism" options, you can get plenty of
reading material as there is a 716 page .pdf manual).
I would
recommend this highly.
Falcon 4.0 is
Back and Flawless this time around!
It Took 7 Years but anyone
who remembers when Falcon 4.0 came out in 1998 will have two distinct
memories. One of which it being the most realistic Combat flight sim and
the Buggiest.
After Numerous patches and things going from bad to
worse, most people in the community gave up on the sim. Now 7 Years
later not only are all the Bugs gone But graphics and gameplay is
improved. Falcon 4.0:Allied Force took all the best of the previous
patches and added them in to make this sim what everyone dreamed it
could be. Lead Pursuit spent thousands of hours fixing tweaking and
testing the Sim to make a flawless game where you can fly on the korean
map or Balkans.
With photorealistic terrain and cockpits that look so
real its almost hard to believe that your flying a sim. The AI Has also
been improved so those hours you spent in the air in real time could
end in disaster if your not too careful.
This Sim is not for those
who just want a Arcade like sim to play as hey will be bored. Getting to
your destination can take 30 minutes or more depending on your starting
base. Waypoints must be followed, Aircraft refueled and objectives met
and carried out while getting back to your base in one piece and
landing. Sounds tough? It sure is and fun. Think about those military
simulators the Air force have worth millions, and give it a smaller
screen and much smaller price tag and you Get Falcon 4.0 :Allied Force.
if you are not an f-16 pilot, prepare to spend time
scaling the huge learning curve of the game
This game is NOT i repeat NOT
a 'game'. it is a simulation. This simulation is not for you if you
dont plan on spending hours reading the 700 pages of manual included. I
do not mean to presuade you agaisnt the game, i am just warning you in
advanced so you are no dissapointed.
Now, with that aside, the game.
The game is, well, accurate. And when I say accurate, I mean every last
button, knob, lever, swith, and warning light is included, all of which
are fully functional. The radar systems are all 100% accurate (not the
'Gods eye' view of the entire battlefield as in ace combat 4 ect.) The
radar and all of it's submodes are complex. I'm not going to lie. But
after some practice, they will become second nature. Learning how to
call up and use all of the differnt weapons is also a challenge you
mujst overcome. From targeting a Maverick, to firing your rocket pod,
each weapon is completey unique and accurate to the extreme. Air to Air
combat is also somewhat of a challenge, and accurately delivering your
Air to Ground muntions takes a steady hand and ample skill.
Now it
may seem like I am degrading the game. But after a few weeks, or maybe a
few months, you begin to understand how that radar sumbmode works. You
begin to understand how to target your LGB's with success. You begin to
understand how to re-fuel while in flight(which can be a NIGHTMARE!)
Once you begin to understand all of the complex feautres on the f-16,
the game becomes very enjoyable. It is very rewarding. The campaign is
AWESOME. The online dogfighting is AWESOME. Nothing can replace the
feeling you have after landing your damgaed Falcon with an empty fuel
tank after dropping 2,000lbs worth of bombs on your enemy and destroying
2 MiG-21's in the process. It is just wondeful.
In conclusion, you
must dedicate yourself to this sim. Dont become discuraged, because the
learning curve here is GIGANTIC! Just take your time, review what you
have learned, and in no time you will be the best pilot in the sky.
