How's it compare to Falcon 4 Allied Force? I still play F4AF occasionally.

Open Falcon 4.7

I have only tried Open falcon and it's a very realistic game/sim, even more realistic than Allied Force. In fact, it is the most realistic F-16 sim anywhere you can get your hands on.

However the realism deals a lot with the avionics functionality such as manual radio tuning, data cartidge, data link and much more.
So the realism features are mainlyunder the hood until you learn about them.

Installation requires the original Falcon 4 disc.

Free Falcon 5

I have never tried Free Falcon 5. Still downloading it
Installation doesn't require the original Falcon 4 disc or so I've been told.
Realism is subpar compared with Open Falcon but it has got a shinier graphics and better F-16's 3D cockpit. However Open Falcon is known to be the more stable of the two.




You can play both game on Vista but I don't think they will run on Windows 7.

I heard people saying they are much better than allied force but I don't know for sure since I've only tried Allied Force only for a few days then.


If you like allied force you'll like them more.

There are community developed theaters such as Balkans, Desert storm. Aegean, Israel, Vietnam, Afghanistan, etc

Make sure to download the latest version of these theaters. Look for their info in their official site forum.

My pleasure. Happy flying.

You can't install BOTH without registry tinkering. I'm still finding out how to install FF5 when one already have OF4.7 installed.
