Falcon 4 v. 107 Update
by Leonard "Viking1" Hjalmarson
 

My fourth mission involved the Iron Fortress campaign, where I retasked a BDA mission as an Intercept mission since there were literally swarms of MiGs within forty miles of my base. This is a great way to have some fun, though it will mean your mission will be declared a failure since you wont' accomplish the stated goal.

Although I could see these aircraft on the AWACS map, when I entered the mission and called "Request Picture," the nearest bandits were given to me at 200 miles. This continued for the next few calls while I took out five aircraft within thirty miles. By the time I had taken out two MiG29s AWACS had smartened up and was giving me intercept vectors when I called for "Near Threat." Looks like some more work needed here also.

SUMMARY

From the reports of beta testers this patch is a HUGE improvement over 1.06, but it is neither finished nor perfect. Since there are a few more weeks to release, we can hope to see additional improvements and fixes prior to that date.

NOTE: The 1024x768 mode will work fine in the 1.07 release. For a look at the Readme file from patch 1.07 see our Falcon 4 discussion forum or the Article forum noted below.
