There the story would have ended, but Falcon fans often wind up on the fanatical side. COM reviewed Falcon 4. Durandals slam into an airfield The first clear improvement delivered by the SuperPak series is the ease of installation. Instead, you install Falcon 4.
The whole process has been brought back into the realm of possibility for mere mortals. If you want the full-scale over-the-top install method complete with endless defrags, see this thread; I used the one described above. Floating down over the battle-lines What does the SuperPak series add to your Falcon experience? According to the SP3 manual, the primary new features include a vast array of stability improvements, a redesigned user interface that incorporates easy-to-use theater selection, significantly improved 3D models, flight models, cockpit, avionics, and weapon modeling, and much-improved multiplayer code.
Taking the first claim first: stability is definitely much improved. The wider case here is also true: Falcon 4. One ordinary sky, with aircraft and missiles I cannot compare the current multiplayer code to the older code, because descriptions of getting the old code working were enough to deter this mere mortal from trying.
Dogfights are highly stable, as are smaller tactical engagements, but large tactical engagements usually result in a crash, sooner or later, while the campaign has yet to remain running on the 56k computer when flying past the FEBA and its associated profusion of game objects.
That same 56k modem-equiped computer runs the campaign quite stably in solitaire play. There are also some weird settings that need to be in your command line for Falcon to make multiplayer work see Frugals , and the connection system is a bit unusual, requiring the host machine to be connected to itself. However, when everything works, the result is loads of fun: more than enough fun to keep us coming back despite the troubles.
Reports from others that they routinely fly multiplayer campaign missions keeps us hunting for ways to attain the same blessed state! Where punters like me can see the newer modeling is in the avionics and cockpit. However, the effort to model that startup process also means that virtually every switch you can see in the cockpit has a function in the game. A clumsy player could potentially power the jet down in mid-flight!
