Hello new
visitor, welcome !
|
|
Here at cockpits.nl 3 combat
flightsimulations are supported with our products,
Falcon 4.0
and
Falcon 4.0:Allied Force, both jet
flightsimulations and the helicopter flightsimulation
Enemy Engaged Comanche Hokum |
|
All these flightsimulations where released a long time ago,
but since the sourcecode of these sims are out in the open, they have
evolved to good looking modern flightsims around their true power, the
dynamic gameplay. |
|
These simulations are of high quality and many Airforces over the world have
used and are using them for specific trainings. |
|
|
 |
|
Falcon 4.0 |
|
The major power of Falcon is that it has a dynamic campaign,
meaning that no mission is ever the same. Originally an F-16 simulation in a
war going on in Korea, Falcon is now much more than that. |
|
Falcon 4.0 was released back in 1998 and is still going
strong, it has evolved into 2 major user and development groups,
Open Falcon and
FreeFalcon |
|
Each Falcon version has its pros and cons, hard to tell what
is best and often a matter of taste. For detailed information
here is a list that sums up the basics |
|
|
 |
|
Open Falcon latest
version: OF4.7 |
|
For Open Falcon to run it requires the original Falcon 4.0
sim installation. Best chances to find the original Falcon 4.0 are on
Ebay and
Amazon. |
|
It has a overhauled graphic engine and allows flying multiple
single and double engine aircraft. |
|
Open Falcon does not support widescreen format 2D cockpits.
Latest patch v4.7 can be found

FreeFalcon5
(FF5)
latest version:
FF5.52
|
|
FreeFalcon5 is a standalone installation, meaning no original
Falcon 4.0 is required and is
downloadable via the FreeFalcon website. |
|
It has a overhauled graphic engine and allows flying multiple
single and double engine aircraft. |
|
FF5 supports widescreen format 2D cockpits, matching your
monitor. |
|
In FF5 2D cockpits are fit automatically to show full screen,
if the cockpit and the monitor sizes are too different this can result in
slight stretching. Note that 3D cockpits never stretch. 2D cockpits
automatically scale down to the resolutions that are used |
