Falcon

Falcon is a combat flight simulator focused on flying the F-16. Players begin as a 1st Lieutenant and take on a dozen missions, ranging from target practice in Milk Run to the four-MiG challenge of Grand Slam.

Mission outcomes and career progress are recorded in the Sierra Hotel roll of honour. The simulation includes loadout considerations, enemy MiGs, SAM missile bases, and an audible warning system known as “Bitchin’ Betty.” Its presentation features detailed opposing aircraft, ground scenery, and improved flight-simulation sound.
