  What version? FS2020? or FSX?
  • nunodonato 6y ago
    FS2020 of course :) multi-player and ATC voices are not working yet, but everything else seems to be fine!

  Holy cow, I use a Mac, Linux, PlayStation and Switch, literally all the major platforms FS2020 does not run on. I was this ->-<- close to getting an Xbox (when it's out) or a Windows machine just for that.

  Apparently Falcon BMS works on Proton too - for those unfamiliar it's an extremely detailed (study-) sim of the F-16, combined with a dynamic campaign in which the quality of your virtual piloting affects the surrounding war rather than just missions like DCS. As soon as DCS actually knows what threads are we're in business.

    What's astounding is that the base game -- Falcon 4.0 -- was released in 1998. I vaguely remember struggling to play it back then, being very proud to get a hit in a BVR engagement. I suppose 20 years later I've got the hardware to enable all the graphical bells and whistles (flaps and ailerons?).

      Oh yes. DCS is an absolute hog but Falcon runs very nice (albeit looks a bit shit). If you haven't been keeping up with the scene, the game has been greatly expanded by mods - e.g. improvements the flight model
