Century Series Fighters in Falcon 4.0

Recommended Posts

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.
