Century Series Fighters in Falcon 4.0

[hawker111]

Hi,

 

Have many of the Century Series fighters been created for Falcon 4.0? If so, are the flight models very accurate and do they have very nice 3-D cockpits?

 

Thanks,

A lot were in the original Falcon database and still there in AF - but all I have seen are very old low res models from about 1998 that are still in the database - none had accurate FMs.

 

I have not seen any pits myself - some might have been done for Free Falcon by Ayes.

 

There has been little attempt to improve them because Falcon 4 is more about modern scenarios - and in BMS the F-16C B50/52 is the only real concern for the developers. 

 

 

Unless any come out for DCS then Strike Fighters is still the best regarding century series in combat sims.

Thanks!

 

I recently came across this very nice looking cockpit for the F-16:

In you opinion, what is the highest quality F-16C 3-D cockpit for Falcon 4.0?

That is the default F-16 pit in BMS. It's really high quality, good on the eyes and fully clickable in 3D. Only downside is it's a bit heavy on FPS.

Someone was working on a replacement pit a while ago but work seems to have discontinued... So in short that is the best quality Viper pit at least imo.

Agrees, there is a 'Nam era campaign set in Korea but is only good for a whirl to try something different. Compare that to the extensive line of 60s/70s AC in SF2 and campaigns to fly them in.

Thanks for the link. A lot of good info there. Between BMS & DCS, I am keeping busy. F4 BMS is my favorite though. What a classic that just keeps on going.
