Falcon 4.0 AF? Anyone heard of it.

Egan · 06-21-06, 01:00 PM

I have both 4.0 and AF and AF gets the nod from me. Played the first one with both of the big mods (Sp 4.2 and FF,) and really enjoyed them both but I just like AF more 'out of the box' esp with the Balkans campaign and the very nice cockpits already there. Just a personal taste thing, I guess. AF may be slightly less when it comes to the fidelity but I can easily live with that. It's not as if I have ever noticed.

Where are you guys getting those mods? Links please?

All the mods I have seen make you PAY for them, which is the dumbest idea I ahve everyheard. These guys don't believe in releasing free mods for the public? I don't understand that.........

If these mods you guys are talking about are free, please please send the links, and if any of you have hitiles, hook me up as well. I'm not paying 20$ just to make the ground look cooler lol.

The mods they are talking about are for Falcon 4.0, not F4 AF. The only real mod I know about for AF is the hi res tiles. I refuse to pay $20 for them either - way too much for too little. I'd might donate $5 but that is about it.

Yeah, thats how I feel about it too. There is no doubt they are an improvement over stock but, you know, it still just prettying up an aging graphic enginethat has long since seen better days.

Falcon 4 with Lockon's graphics - now that would be something. Actually, I haven't played lock on since I got my new computer 18 months ago. I might give it a spin and see how it looks.

Nothing beats Falcon for the sim experience though and I doubt much ever will. My thoughts on the tiles though is that they would have a lot more takers if it were only $4.95. What are they thinking with $20???

Mods are worth what you think they are worth. For F4 I bought three cockpits and the Hi Tiles because I thought they were worth it. The cockpits I still do. The Hi Tiles didn't last very long.

Dutch · 07-01-06, 01:28 PM

I still don't understand why they charge for them. i mean the guy re-did the ground, big whoop.......sure I bet it took a long time all by himself but so? He chose to do it.

I mean look at the things Teddy has done for SH3, he did alot more than "making the water look prettier" He re-did the entire damage model/gameplay/and made everything look better, and he DIDN'T charge..........

What is even more scary is that these guys defend the guy to the last stand. I don't see this guy to be anybetter than Xsoftware or whoever that wasy stealing mods and charging for them. Its scary what happens to people when they aren't informed.

You have the option to buy or not. Bitching about somebody selling their work is dumb. You vote with your wallet so why are you complaining? It's a simple decision for you. Do you want Hi-Tiles or not. Do you want to buy it or not? It's that simple.
Do I wish the mods I bought were free? Most certainly. Did I want those mods enough to pay for them? Yes. The cockpits are awesome.
As far as defending. I'm not defending anyone. It's a simple case of supply and demand. Yes or no!
