Check out the screen shots and videos for each version of Falcon on steam to appreciate how far PC combat flight simulators have come. Those old games pushed the limits of what could be done on a PC at the time, but now look little better than Atari home system and arcade games, complete with cheesy digital synthesizer music.

But check out those boxes - drool.

This is rea;y good news,

 

Can you imagine a new sim out of this engine dedicated to the tornado or F35? The dynamic campaign alone in falcon4/falcon BMS has really never been outdone, makes DCS look like a joke.

Yep agree with that.
