I loved how many times Falcon 4.0 came up and how they claim the 'bubble burst' with it's release. As one of the original purchasers of that sim I remember how hard it was to learn, and how much more I loved the sim when hobbyists introduced mods that increased the realism, and how disappointed I was when a developer purchased the rights to some of those mods and released it as a new sim (that was a bug ridden mess). The best thing to happen to F4 was it's release to the public domain, again hobbyists have taken it back to something the original developers could only dream of in complexity, tho issues do arise they are addressed in weeks instead of months (or never) from previous commercial devs.

It should take 20 minutes to start the engines in F4, thats why it's called a SIMULATION.
What?

I had falcon4, but had too many issues with it after I tried to install a mod, and No a clean install won't help. Where can I find this wonderful piece of software you speak of?
