Pillars of Hercules Theater Beta 0.8.0 RELEASED

[Joe Labrada]

F4Spain-Escuadrón111-201VFS-FALCÕES are pleased to present:

“Pillars of Hercules Theater - Beta 0.8.0”

Theater from the Iberian Peninsula, Canary Islands, Balearic Islands, Madeira Island, Azores Islands and Northern Africa for Falcon BMS 4.33U4.

POH is a project that began on March 30th 2002, from within Escuadron111, thanks to AlbertoGM’s initiative. Since then we have published different versions of the project. Today, after two years of work, since the last public release, POH 0.8.0. is finished.

Among the new features we have to remark as most important the 27 100% photorealistic fully working airbases. There are also other key elements for the theater that have been included: Definitive NavAIds with a working network, two of the biggest training ranges of Europe (Alcochete and Bardenas Reales), plenty of new vessels (Including aircraft carriers like CV R11 Principe de Asturias and CV L61 Juan Carlos I), a rather big quantity of ports and Naval ports from every side, real radar stations and external software compatibility.

This version of the Theater is a beta and does not contain a campaign; but it is fully functional for the creation of missions, online flights and cadet training. We believe that POH 0.8.0 can become a great tool for the training of pilots.

But we can better sum it up with some images:

Cheerfuly.
F4Spain-Escuadrón111-201VFS-FALCÕES Team

PS: Our project has and is being possible thanks to direct and indirect support of so many people that the list would be endless. Their contribution is recognized on the closing credits.

Special THanks: Among all these people , from f4Spain we owe a very special thanks to Nuno “Viperdude” Santos, from 201VFS-Falcôes Squadron (With BlackWolf’s support, from Escuadron111). Thanks to the impulse of his enthusiasm and work ethic POH 0.8.0 has now many elements created by him, specially the 100% Photorealistic airbases, with which, at the beginning of the project we never dreamed of… And, in this phase of the project, we can not fail to highlight the enormous effort and involvement of Nikos: thanks to him, POH, has fully operational Navaids as we had also never dreamed before.

… thank you, Blackwolf, Nikos and Nuno.

So please don’t understand me wrong Joe - I’m a complete Falcon Beginner - and have just started to sort things out (regarding all this new stuff ); but you and your team have done this for free, and we the users can download it for free really :shock: ?

Because all this sounds so amazing that my first thought was: this must be kind of payware!

Thanks in advance.
