I still enjoy flying the F-117 in FF6.0

Falcon 4.0 - Night SEAD Strike
It is nice every now and then to have no music just listening to the sim do its thing.

yes, all pretty f-4 skins by Ranger.
based on Thoarek’s F-4E model, we covered most F-4 variants.
and thanks to Eddropper, most of them are available in OFM DB.Of course we’re happy to have much-higher-quality F-4E/F/G models by Manos. Hope he bring us naval phantoms ASAP.

absolutely true … and He has given also the right value to the phantom 3dpit

In 2008 it was possible to fly the F-111 including Aeyes’s F-111 cockpit and Mike Rivers’s RAAF skin using Free Falcon4:Red Viper modded Falcon 4.0. Tom Waelti had created HiTiles for Falcon 4 in 2003 to provide higher resolution terrain tiles for the Korean Theatre. RedViper appeared online in 2007 likely causing OpenFalcon to be leaked (Spyhawk’s F4 history).
Thanks to devs/modders that gave me opportunity to carpet bomb a column of armour with 12 x air-inflatable retarder bombs with the F-111 bomb truck in Red Viper and still have 6 x LGBs to drop (Australians affectionately call the F-111 “the pig”):

Falcon 4.0 Gold: Operation Infinite Resolve was an intended release of Falcon by Xicat Interactive and G2 interactive planned for November 2003 reportedly including attempted seizure of SP4 community mods according to Spyhawk’s Falcon Epopee Falcon 4.0 history. Media said “The update will include the latest graphical tricks, new textures, and even the A-10 Tank Buster”. The release was cancelled. This is the 2003 trailer. I found it in my F4 files (file dated 7 Nov 2003) and have uploaded it to YouTube. Posted this as I appreciate the amazing work by the BMS team to get BMS approved by Tommi/Retroism and accessible to everyone after a difficult history.
There is information about F4:OIR and the aborted Falcon 5 at Kamox’s archive that includes a treasure trove of information and dates about Falcon patches.

The dynamic art on the cover of the box and manual is Mixing it up at Nine G’s by Mark McCandlish. The MiGs are hard to see because they are partially obscured by the “I” and second “L” of the package title.
