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 Art of the Kill is included in the Falcon Collection release on GOG.COM with Falcon 4.0 (pdf of book and the video so get the Falcon Collection not just Falcon).
Art of the Kill was originally released by Spectrum HoloByte in 1993 in this pack and included:
-
the amazing 165 page book (with epic lesson quizzes as shown below),
-
VHS tape of Pete Bonanni dogfighting instruction,
-
the 1993 Spectrum HoloByte catalogue,
-
a card to claim a free six month subscription to Intercept magazine and claim a $20 gift certificate towards the purchase of Falcon 3.0 that was $79.95,
-
and a 3.5 inch floppy disk demo of Falcon 3.

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.

Hi. Thanks. The box says “Mixing it up at Nine Gs” is a painting by artist Mark McCandlish. Inspiration for the painting came when McCandlish was a media observer during an intercept training mission with the Arizona National Guard. “I had an opportunity to witness the F-16’s incredible agility. Unless the MiGs make the border in 30 seconds, then their chances of escape are zero.”

Is there a way to unsubscribe from a thread? The multiple editions here are setting a new record.

Whoa, blast from the past.
When I made it I had a very different life…When the new terrain will be available maybe I can make such a promo video what I always wanted. Hopefully.
(Lots of images would require for the project from the main version of the F4.0 since early 2000s)
Something similar to this but on a different level.

@LorikEolmin Hi, I’m sorry, I didn’t realise. That would have been me.

Not “my first Sony” but my first F-16 simulator game. Loooong time ago on the Atari 1040ST.

F-16 combat pilot was years ahead of its time… even had a dynamic campaign
