OMG look at Falcon 4 now!
 

For a sim that is 13 years old Falcon 4 has had the THE most supportive community behind it of all sims.

I just can't believe the latest version, it's simply spectacular, reading the below article brings back fond memories.

whew, that looks impressive, especially for a realism geek like me. But I've had no contact so far with Falcon 4.0... can I buy some whole, install-and-be-happy-package somewhere?

hey
BMS4 is the best F16 simulation[i fly almost everyday]

sooo... can I buy Falcon 4.0: Allied Force and download this thing, yes?

I don't think there is a downloadable version

EDIT: Scratch that .... the BMS mod doesn't work with Falcon 4 AF, it only works with the original Falcon 4 ... that's going to be harder to come by ...

Q: What software do I need to install BMS? The installer is asking for the location of the original Falcon CD. What if I have Falcon 4.0: Allied Force? Will that work?

A: You need the original Falcon 4.0 and the BMS installer. F4:AF will not work.

Q: Where can I get Falcon 4.0?

Thanks a lot for that!
however, that sounds kinda idiotic... I've ordered AF now and hope that there will be some change in the near future :)

BMS "mod" is a standalone install.

You only need the original Falcon4.exe in order to prove that you purchased a copy and paid them for the IP. It just checks the CD for the file and then installs.

Are you sure? They're very specific in stating that F4:AF will not work with the mod. I hope you're right though.

Thaqnks for the link and the videos! Awesome!
Pity I am still more fond of WWII flight sims that jets :(

Regarding the Falcon.exe file can somebody help me? It is important because I have the Falcon 4.0 original (that heavy binder with the manual and dosens of CD patches) but, it is not installed on my PC any more.

Do I need to install the oriinal Falcon 4.0 on the PC first and then BMS4.32 or do I just need to place the original Falcon.exe file somewhere and start with the BMS 4.32 installation?

~S~

That's it. The installer just wants to check falcon4.exe. Doesn't matter where it is located.

Thanks!

That saved a lot of pain :)

Yes that's what I mean - Falcon4.exe from Falcon 4 - NOT allied force ;)

you do not need to install the whole Falcon 4.0 game
just insert it and run BMS 4.32

JUST BE SURE--CAUTION NEEDED
if you wan't to unistall BMS
run again the exe
fail to do that its going to leave some registry which is not going to allow you to install it again

I'm looking forward to this! Finally, communication with the squad & ground control! Finally, campaigns, ranks @ awards! And all that with a (probably) great FM!

the FM
IS based on a Block 30 and above
it is very close to RL
differences with the 50\52 is some limitations[except the weapons and avionics]
and of course the difference with performance on the engines
