FALCON 4.0 HISTORY - THE MUSEUM
-
And more of Gilman Louie (circa Falcon AT Days. His interview starts at about 5 min)…
-
@JollyFE Nice video.
Gilman was involved in many projects with the USAF since early 80s. Some sources even say he used to work for some “company” as analyst. No spoilers here on how Falcon 4 and Gilman and USAF had a cnx…I will tell that story in part 3 of my series on dynamic campaigns.
After SH and MP merged and went bankrupt, he founded another company for real software (no games)… In-Q-Tel. Totally funded by federal money, classified stuff. -

@tiag Hey Tiago. You beat me to it with these. I hope you’re keeping well.

@Griffin Hey Gary. Here is all good, still killing Migs and SAMs :-). Greetings to the 185th!
-
@tiag That’s good. I’ll pass on your greetings.

How much time
It is a shocking thing to me that the F4.0 + its legacy now means a longer time period than from my birth to be and adult then since until today…
I was able to acquire the SP3 or SP4 around late 2003 or early 2004.
(18 years vs 19 years)

2007, REDVIPER introduces ‘6DOF’. 6DOF was an important step along the road to VR.

Red viper is not BMS branch and BMS had 6dofs far before red viper

This thread is dedicated to Falcon 4.0 history (and before BMS 4.32 era).
Ah i thought they were related on the road map of falcon BMS. my bad.
I don’t remember anything else out there at the time with 6DOF, except MSFS2004? (or the tweet add on to it). But it’s recollection, so could be wrong. Was the BMS version you refer to widely available? I remember two branches, FF and OF.

Yes and Open Falcon was the direct precursor to Falcon BMS, had 6DOF already in 2006(?) or so.

What Made Falcon 3.0 Great?
-
Falcon - Amiga
-
-
YES - this is VANILLA falcon 4.0 upscaled using Glide!
-
Does anyone have SuperPak 1 or 2? Reason I’m asking, at some point from SP3++ the patches dropped Glide support, but Glide really is the best way to experience old Falcon.
Edit: unfortunately it seems that eFalcon removed Glide support, so Realism Patch 5 is the last to support it. Shame.
