OMG look at Falcon 4 now!

[Codex]

For a sim that is 13 years old Falcon 4 has had the THE most supportive community behind it of all sims.

I just can't believe the latest version, it's simply spectacular, reading the below article brings back fond memories.

whew, that looks impressive, especially for a realism geek like me. But I've had no contact so far with Falcon 4.0... can I buy some whole, install-and-be-happy-package somewhere?

I don't think there is a downloadable version

EDIT: Scratch that .... the BMS mod doesn't work with Falcon 4 AF, it only works with the original Falcon 4 ... that's going to be harder to come by ...

Q: What software do I need to install BMS? The installer is asking for the location of the original Falcon CD. What if I have Falcon 4.0: Allied Force? Will that work?

A: You need the original Falcon 4.0 and the BMS installer. F4:AF will not work.

Q: Where can I get Falcon 4.0?

Thanks a lot for that!
however, that sounds kinda idiotic... I've ordered AF now and hope that there will be some change in the near future

BMS "mod" is a standalone install.

You only need the original Falcon4.exe in order to prove that you purchased a copy and paid them for the IP. It just checks the CD for the file and then installs.

Are you sure? They're very specific in stating that F4:AF will not work with the mod. I hope you're right though.

Thaqnks for the link and the videos! Awesome!
Pity I am still more fond of WWII flight sims that jets

Regarding the Falcon.exe file can somebody help me? It is important because I have the Falcon 4.0 original (that heavy binder with the manual and dosens of CD patches) but, it is not installed on my PC any more.

Do I need to install the oriinal Falcon 4.0 on the PC first and then BMS4.32 or do I just need to place the original Falcon.exe file somewhere and start with the BMS 4.32 installation?
