Falcon 4 AF because LOMAC bores me with repetitiveness and boring missions sooner than F4.

LOMAC looks much better though. I need a flight sim with LOMAC's graphics and an improved F4 Campaign.

If LOMAC had F4's campaign engine, i would probably like it alot better then i do atm. I just cannot stand canned missions. It also the same reason why i generaly dont play Dangerous Waters and other modern subsims from Sonalysts (it is my only gripe with their games though. I realy realy wish they would finaly put in some sort of dynamic campaign along the lines of SH3 or F4)

As for F4 in many ways i think the original F4 with the various super patches is better then AF.

You may wish to try out Free Falcon5 or Open Falcon 4.7

Can't be beat....any way there is nothing available that offers what you need.

Hey, Enigma!

One Word: Falcon4. It is the pinnacle of flight sims.

Why?

Depth, intelligence, and fun. Not just strap me in and shoot them when you see the whites of their eyes! LOL

As a piece of software F4.0 is not a game. It tries to simulate a dynamic, evolving environment, in which the player is just a part (albeit an important one).

It's structure is very complex, and show a lot od work & talent have gone into its design and implementation. Pitty it never got finished the way it was intended. But a lot of good people have put into it so much that it is still alive today!

I also have LockOn, it is not bad, and in it's own way also has some unique and enjoyable aspects. But the two are of different class and weight altogether.

If F4 continues to flourish - thanks to the dev teams - it may even rival todays Flight Sims : which mostly have superior graphics, in my opinion.

Happy flying!
