PD

Well for RAMP start I prefer Open Falcon. It's more....intricate :).

The HUD is difficult to see in free falcon.

I can foresee what I will be downloading in the next couple of days... :hmmm:

What extra flyable aircraft are in Freefalcon? And do the campaigns work yet?

Campaigns work fine, yes

Flyables are pretty much anything, I think, the planes I can remember that have their own pits are the F-16, F-15, B-52, SR-71, F-22, MiG-29 and the Su-27

Just would like to add to Raptor's post. Campaign works just fine.

As for flyable planes you must be aware that Free Falcon is built from Falcon 4,0 which is a simulation game for the F-16 so you could expect degraded realism when playing other planes. Some other planes come with beautifully made 3D cockpits while a lot others come with poor 3D cockpit but with a well made 2D cockpit. even if you decide to buy the Aeyes payware cockpits for planes other than F-16 I believe they still use the MFD display of the Viper(F-16). It's a bit weird flying in a MiG-29 with a beautifully rendered 3D cockpit yet the HUD display is not that of the Fulcrum's but rather Viper's.

Was getting freezes and CTDs sometimes but last night I played it for couple hours with no problem. I did follow a suggestion to set my desktop before playing to 16 bit. It could be that.

I would love to post screenies as Free Falcon 5 graphically is more appealing than Open Falcon well except the F-16's cockpits unless you use Aeyes payware cockpit.

Did I get that correctly, I don't need Falcon 4.0 to run Free Falcon? Because when I went to the Free Falcon homepage the instruction read like:

Third: Install FF5.0. The installer will ask you where you want to install FF5. I suggest that you do not put it into the Program Files folder of Windows. Many of the older utilities have a problem with the space between Program and Files. This installer will add FF5 to your start menu, add a link to our site, add a link to the manual, and contains an uninstaller. For VISTA users this installer will run as Admin and do all that is required to ensure a proper installation into that OS.

@Schroeder: Nope, you do not need Falcon 4.0
I don't have it and I am playing Free Falcon 5.0 at the moment...(well at least I try to :oops:)

They're talking about installing Falcon 4.0 if you want to have it on your comp at the same time as FreeFalcon, you don't need it
