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...

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

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
