Here's the original L0:MAC forum post of a flyable F-16. There may be more mods like this so I'll keep looking.

EDIT: AHHA!!! I found a whole slew of them. http://www.lockonfiles.com is where they are at. Register there (it's free) and search for F-16 if you're interested. An F-16 cockpit still evades me though.

Lil update on flight training:

A-A radar modes and all that comes with them are very... oh how should I describe this... wordy? In other words it's slow going as I want to be able to understand what I am doing. I don't want to just memorize what buttons to press to do this or that so once I get up against real enemies I won't just freeze because the situation is different from training and I don't know what to do. I suppose from here on this is where the sim begins to raise its technical side!

It's fun when you get it right though!

Falcon is great to learn, and better when it all comes together. I remember when I reached the point when I got that coveted SA (situational awareness), it's like a big 3D picture that builds in your head from all the information that gets thrown at you. Very satisfying!

Took me a good year to get there, though

Yeah I stumbled upon it by accident last night while looking for different mods for Falcon.

Last week when I first started to get interested in flight sims again I looked and looked and looked for any upcoming modern combat flight sims and I was surprised that I came up dry. After that I was afraid that LO:MAC and Falcon were (at least for the foreseable future) the last of a dying breed.

But it seems that Flight Ops just slipped under the radar, and by the lack of information out on the net about it and the lack of buzz so far, a lot of people, even those in the flight sim community have hardly heard of it. At least not yet.

The community over there is great and they have a TREMENDOUSLY informed forums. Seems like a few of the forum members that are frequent posters are within some branch of the military, both U.S. and foreign. With that in mind, it makes me even more excited about this sim because those people know their stuff and should know what's hot and what's not when it comes to military flight simulations. Also the devs appear to have a great working relationship with the USAF, many of the dev crew have had the chance to tour US bases and take rides in a variety of US military jets, so they are getting first hand knowledge right from the source. The Devs are involved within the community as well, posting frequently throughout the day on a variety of topics, not just related to their game even.

There is also a special section of the forums, which does cost some coin to get into, which gives you access to all sorts of cool stuff that everyone else doesn't get. Day by day updates on the project and how they do things, teamspeak discussions with various members of the military or naviation industry giving lectures on interesting topics relating to the game, their job, etc. I'm seriously considering popping for it, not to mention that you get a special discount for a TrackIR4 just for joining. I think it's $25 to join and then the discount for the TrackIR is $35, so if you are considering a TrackIR, hell you might as well just go for it, which I am considering .

They are making some pretty big promises, but so far I have faith. If you (or anyone for that matter that are interested in flight sims), haven't check out their page, check their features and FAQ section and hit up the forums. Just check my Sig.
