Falcon 4.0 is a flight simulator of combat modern left in 1998 by Microprose. It models the fighter plan F-16 Fighting Falcon Block 50/52, the principal action of the play being held in Korea. It is a very realistic simulator, the worthy last born of the series Falcon, and known several evolutions and versions thanks to the work of the community. Falcon 4.0 has a dynamic engine for the countryside of the play. Falcon 4.0: Allied Forces , a more recent version of Falcon 4.0 developed by Lead Pursuit, left the June 28th, 2005. This version has a new campaign, this one being held in Balkans.

The countryside solo of the play starts towards 1990 when the armed forces of the North Korea invade South Korea. The United States deploys military troops to counter this offensive including of the fighter plans, the tanks, the warships, etc… The remainder of the play depends on the actions carried out by the player.

Gameplay

Falcon 4.0 makes live the player as a pilot of the American air force. Firstly, the player will be able to involve himself in one of the 30 missions available in which it will be able to be accustomed to the operations of combat, the armaments, with the systems avionics, etc… After the missions of drive, the player will be able to start the principal mode of the play which remains the countryside itself, which will simulate a situtation of war. However, another option exists, the dogfight. This mode allows the confrontation in solo (or a multijouor) of apparatus or targets on the ground and that without keeping a quite precise context.

Technology

Let us acknowledge immediately, the decorations which formerly appeared superb to us, became at that time a little unmethodical. But they are not there that the heart of the play is, this heart which makes beat a great number of players still at present. Indeed, the play has a level of extreme realism. The avionics, the armament, laser guidance, the radars, all was entirely reconstituted as accurately as possible giving place to a play of a complexity never yet equalized.

Countryside

The countryside of Falcon 4.0 is a dynamic campaign. Indeed, the action of the player will have effects on the future missions of the player. This style of countryside thus presents a completely random aspect which will charm a great number of players. Let us not forget that it is very difficult to implement that for the programmers.
