Allied Force is an extremely entertaining and complex game.I would highly reccommend it to anybody interested in the F-16 fighter.The only complaint I have is that I ordered and paid for a new CD and was sent a used one.

Greatest flight sim ever

Title says it all. I hear that Lead Pursuit's next flight sim will be even better. I can't wait for it. If you want to learn all you can about flying the F-16 without having the opportunity to sit in one, then this is the flight sim for you.

Good Sim, poor graphics/VC

I bought this game based on reviews from other simmers. The simulation/flight control physics seem to be spot on. I have no problem trying to learn 75 different ways to lock at target. The problem I have with the game is the graphics are poor compared to Lock On and the only way to manipulate gages in the cockpit is with the 2D cockpit. I have Track IR and with all other sims (Lock On, Wings Over Vietnam, IL2, FS) you are able to see working gages in VC. So the lack of graphics, combined with the virtually unusable virtual cockpit make this game not worth the time to learn it. I think you should expect more from the "ultimate combat flight sim".

WAAAY too complicated

This was a complete waste of money for me. I guess if you have nothing but time on your hands, maybe you can figure out how to fly this thing. For those of us who have enjoyed moderately complex flight sims, this is a real disappointment, as the learning curve is precipitous. How many commands do you want to learn just to do some basic stuff? If you'd answer "less than a dozen," then don't get this.

This is NOT A GAME....REPEAT.....THIS IS NOT A GAME!

This is a F16 FIGHTER SIMULATON!!

You must be prepared to take on the responsibilities of a REAL F16 FIGHTER PILOT!!

"NEVER ask a a man if he is a FIGHER PILOT! If he is, HE WILL TELL YOU! If he isn't, you'll only embarass him".

To qualify for this SIMULATON, you must be willing to devote MANY HOURS to the various systems of the F16 Fighting Falcon which include:

1. Basic flight control systems.
2. Radar systems.
3. Weapons systems.
4. Avionic
5. Communicton
6. Navigation
7. Tatics
8. Refueling.
9. Tower take off AND landing.
9. Ground Control operations.
To name a FEW.

This is no 'Shoot eveything that comes at you' game.

THIS IS AS CLOSE AS IT GETS TO FLYING A REAL F16 WITHOUT HAVING TO CHANGE YOUR PANTS AT THE END OF THE SIMULATION!!

Can YOU hack it??!!

Best falcon release yet

Only bug I found is that if you try hooking up LAN by printer ports it doesn't fing the host. Other than that great game!!!

Very disappointing!

After having read so many good things on this sophisticated flight sim, I took the big step forward and purchased it.

What a disappointment! I know that art will always be more difficult to master than criticism, and I must first start off with the good features of the game: its flight model is quite realistic. The man-machine interface is impressive, with keys accessible inflight with the use of the mouse pointer. Also, the canopy layout and effects are very well rendered. Combat is fun, and yes, overall, the simulated aircraft feels close to the real deal.

Now, the bad ones. Graphics and terrain rendition are appalling. Looks like the engine that was used was one that was already a bit obsolete at the end of the late 90's. Also, programming your joystick -mine is a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro- turned quickly into a tedious task. The flight modelling of the Falcon is far from perfect and needs some serious improving. Come on, it's so damn difficult to get the aircraft to stall realistically!!

I have been addicted to Lock-On ever since it was first launched. And I am still. And before, I was hooked onto F/A-18 Korea, but it is now cruelly showing its age. Get yourself Lock-On, and nothing else, then please tell me what you think of it. It's a day and night difference. Lock-On remains, up to this day and according to me, the very best in advanced, realistic A2A combat flight sim. Period.

Falcon 4.0h boy this is slow

Falcon 4.0 seems to be less responsive than say FA/18 Korea or MiG 29. By this I mean, the responsiveness of the controls in Falcon 4.0 just doesn't compare to these other flight sims. In MiG 29, when you bank left, you bank left. The response is immediate. In Falcon 4.0, the response is sluggish. Perhaps this is a configuration issue, but out of the box, this is the results that I saw. The upside is that the game provides all of the realism, all of the bells and whistles, that you would expect.

To fully enjoy this game you need to read the information on playing the game. One of the better jet combat flight simulations.

Falcon 4.0: Allied Force

Put this together with the HOTAS Cougar Flight Control System, and it's as close to actually flying an F-16 as you're going to get without a full motion simulator!
