@Thommo said in FALCON 4.0 HISTORY - THE MUSEUM:
Preview teaser videos that got me excited about Falcon releases:
Molnibalage’s amazing FreeFalcon 5 YouTube Preview movie:
Aeyes’s Free Falcon/Red Viper F/A18C Hornet Preview movie:
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

Words of wisdom … +1 (something FalconX.0 lovers would never admit )
DI (Digital Integration/Dave Marshall) was ahead of it’s time.
F16CP even had ILS with limited A/P. - if on glideslope
…and that old lantirn bug in F16CP - if dropped tanks drops lantirn too, leaving 6xAGM65E … a wasteMy fav DI sim(s) before F16CP… were “Tomahawk” and “Fighter Pilot”. … duuuh… F16CP worked also on 64k Basic

Possibly an RP3 era pic. Hard to remember

@Mav-jp I remember it too. I was one of the ‘sqn mates’ of Ervani and joined the LLTM’s from 2001 till 2006. After that I had to stop all of my Falcon stuff because I couldn’t combine it anymore with my work and working for international ‘hardrock/metal bands’.
These days I’m not working anymore because I had a quite nasty motorcycle accident on the Zandvoort circuit (NL) 3 and a half years ago from which I am still healing with very small steps. So having a lot sparetime I am thinking of starting up the F-16 again. It won’t be easy for my memory is not what it used to be, I lost a lot. But it’s always better then doing absolutely nothing and surely better then DCS (I realy hate that stuff)!!
So . . . . . I think I will be here more often. -

That says a lot that there is a Falcon 4.0 Box edition on their desk!
-
@Brabander I remember a moment in the “Luchtmachtmuseum Soesterberg”, that Ervani arranged some Lan know -how people and equipment, to connect more then 30 contenders for a first big lan sessie… a morning spent, no go…those where the days…
-
@Nurse Yep, I remember that too but I have no clue what year that was . . . . Looooong ago. I think we’re getting old . . . . (uhh, I hope we do . .)

They were checking how high the rod was. and laying them down to catch up
-
@Dee-Jay WOW! I wonder how old that pic is! The style of mouse, keyboard, and monitor, not to mention that laptop all clearly date this image… I’d assume just after the turn of the century?
-
I’ve posted this video elsewhere, but it deserves to be here. The 209th Delta Hawks in all their glory…
-
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. -
