I miss Falcon 4.0. It came with a really thick manual that you had to study in order to play the game!

Yes, the pdf of this version of the manual is 716 pages.

The game currently costs $6.99 on Steam, or you can get a collection including: Falcon, Falcon 4.0, Falcon A.T., Falcon Gold for $9.99. The Steam version runs on Windows 10 and probably 11.

There is also an active group keeping this game updated and modified so that it will run on modern hardware even using VR equipment. Their version may be superior to the Steam version.

Most of the abandonware downloads available seem to need Windows XP and/or considerable tweaking to get them to work.

Did not know that. I don't have a PC that can run games at the moment. (sad face).

How are the Falcon graphics? Same, or updated?

Is it just me, or is there a lack of combat flight simulators now-days compared to the 80s and 90s?

I know I had a pretty good joystick back in the day, but no HOTAS and rudder pedals....
