About

You're flying the F-16 "Fighting Falcon", a U.S. Air Force fighter, over the skies of Korea. The learning curve is VERY steep and will take time to learn, let alone master. There is a way to "jump in and fly" so the game can be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of experience. The simulated plane is an F-16C Block 50/52 version.

Falcon 4.0 comes with a dynamic campaign, which is a full blown strategy game within the simulator itself. As the virtual war develops, the campaign engine moves ground, naval and airborne troops around the battlefield and generates missions for the player.
