Falcon 4 Plus
By Bob "Groucho" MarksI suggest you read it carefully and heed his advice- the more stuff that the iBeta team turns on, the more horsepower it takes to run. If you need a primer on the steps needed to install the RP2 / F4Patch enhanced Falcon, or just would like some pointers on wringing the most out of post RP2 F4, check out his article.
What I intend to do in the next few paragraphs is take a look at some of the other user created add-ons that increase the playability, situational awareness, stability, and fun of the RP- enhanced Falcon 4.0. There is an awful lot out there, so lets take it in parts, shall we?
