The second best way to fly an F-16.
Sep 18, 2019 Falcon BMS (F4) is a combat flight simulator. It models the Lockheed-Martin F-16C Block 50/52 in a full-scale war on the Korean Peninsula. F4 has been popular among combat sim pilots due to its dynamic war campaign engine, detailed aircraft avionics, and multi-player capabilities.
After years of development, Falcon 4.0 was released to the public just a few months too soon. It possessed a double personality disorder almost certain to inspire a love/hate relationship with consumers. Still, despite the delays and the flaws, and after some subsequent patching, Falcon 4.0 had truly become a virtual fighter pilots dream and the definitive F-16 simulation.
Between the environment, flight and systems modeling, Falcon 4.0 can stand on its own as a full-featured general aviation sim. The radio alone features two tuners which are independently switchable among six different communications nets as desired. The terrain engine itself is outstanding for a combat sim, offering a remarkable sense of speed as well as graphic detail not entirely unlike Flight Unlimited 2. The flight model feels intuitively accurate, featuring a wide variety of phenomena such as six degrees of inertia and an honest appreciation for the effects of mass and drag. Most airports are faithfully modeled after their real-world counterparts, right down to their individual flight operations procedures, taxiway paths, and parking areas.
When most people think of Falcon 4.0 or BMS they think of Korea. It has been the default theater for many. But there are multiple theaters that have been made by the community. Below is a list of known free theaters that work with Falcon BMS 4.33.4. Some of these are actively being developed and continually updated and others were ported from 4.32.

In all, Falcon 4.0 is the deepest, most complex air combat sim yet. True to the real F-16 Fighting Falcon’s multi-role capabilities, Falcon 4.0 offers a wide range of mission types, including fighter sweeps; escort missions; airfield and interdiction strikes; naval strikes; support of ground troops; suppression of enemy air defenses; and reconnaissance. To be effective, you’ll have to learn to use the air-to-air radar (four modes, each with its own sub-modes), air-to-ground radar, HARM and Maverick targeting systems, laser targeting pod, and about 20 different weapons.
If all of that sounds like too much, it’s possible Falcon 4.0 isn’t for you. On the other hand, there’s a good-sized group of gamers out there who drool at the prospect of a sim this complex and involved. For them, Falcon 4.0 will be a dream come true – for everyone else, the designers have included several options for toning down the realism until it’s nearly arcade-easy. A supplemental Cadet’s Guide explains how to play the game at the easiest levels in just 40 pages. For more advanced users, the manual goes through all of the details of piloting the F-16.
Lil rob rapper. But it’s worth learning to play the game the way it was meant to be played – at maximum realism. That’s when its real-time, dynamic campaign system really shines. As in DID’s legendary Total Air War, a session with Falcon 4.0’s campaign begins with a list of missions currently available and lets you choose the one you’ll fly. Unlike TAW, the campaign in Falcon 4.0 includes a ground war that changes to reflect the success of the air war — and it lets you fly co-operatively with friends.
The campaign also creates the greatest sense yet of playing a small but important part of a huge battle, rather than being Rambo in the sky. You can see and hear the air battle unfolding through radio chatter, and you can often see the results of the ground war in distant explosions and dust clouds. In fact, it’s pretty exciting just to put your plane under control of the Combat autopilot (the same system that handles all the computer-controlled planes), turn on invulnerability, and activate the Action View, which automatically switches between external views to follow the most interesting events on the battlefield.
Falcon 4.0 joins the likes of Longbow 2 and Jane’s F-15 on the very short list of amazingly big, deep, and complete air combat simulations. If you’re a hard-core sim fan with the hardware to handle it, you need this game.

I'd like to try this, looks great!
However I'm unwilling to register to a forum, and jump through 57 hoops while doing so, just to download the file.
Is there any other download link available?

ataribaby: Just want to let you know (.)
I was about to make a new thread about it today but you were faster; good job pilot! ;)FLX83: I'd like to try this, looks great! However I'm unwilling to register to a forum, and jump through 57 hoops while doing so, just to download the file. Is there any other download link available?
There aren't any hoops involved; you'll only find one post with all relevant information on how/where to download the installer as well as the updates. The registering takes two minutes (no personal info needed) and you may find the forum useful even though the documentation is great. The usual methods of downloading the whole package is via torrent and direct link (courtesy of e-HAF / Unofficial Hellenic Air Force portal). As for the actual sim, be prepared to spend a substancial amount of time reading, watching tutorials, practicing stuff & developing your skills, but the overall experience is very rewarding especially if you have an interest in aviation & modern fighter jets.ataribaby

Enjoy ;) However I'm unwilling to register to a forum, and jump through 57 hoops while doing so, just to download the file.

BTW Vythonaut is right. It is very useful to be able to access forum there.

I see. I was trying to register with a throw-away email address, which it wouldn't let me do to 'protect against spammers'. I'm trying to not clutter my regular mail addresses with info from 569 bazillion websites I need to register on.
I will make sure to check the documentation. I actually played the original Falcon 4.0 back in 1999/2000 (yes, there were a lot of crashes, of the game, as well as of the pilot). Before that I still need to find a flightstick though, unwisely threw mine in the garbage 10 years ago or so.
Thanks for the link ataribaby, I will try to get this to work, likely I will register on the forums later.

After action report: The maximum time I was able to remain airborne by using only keyboard controls was 4 minutes and 14 seconds. The aircraft will soon roll/spiral out of control, but I wasn't planing to play with keyboard controls anyway.
Oh and even though I played the game way back, I no longer have any idea what most of the switches do, so some reading is in order before I can manage to take off, stay airborne and maybe even destroy a hostile plane / ground target :-D
btw, your mod is insanely amazing.

You do that; also, take some time to print the cockpit diagram that you'll find in the manual as this will help you to minimize alt-tabbing while you learn where everything is located inside the pit. Also, watching tutorial videos on YT is a very good way to get up there and flying, learning the avionics and navigation and pretty much anything you'll need to operate with the F-16 in no time. ;)Pages:
