And what a manual it is. Bonanni is an excellent writer, and his descriptions of the included training missions, and other training tips, are first-rate. A sim this complex needs a top-notch manual, and Falcon 4.0 definitely delivers in the documentation department. And now, on to the sim itself. Tactical Engagements are where you begin to see the real depth of Falcon 4.0 .
Tactical Engagements are missions created with the included mission editor.
And then there is the Campaign. Falcon 4.0 has three predefined starting points for its simulation of a new Korean War, one where the South has repulsed a Northern attack and is heading for Pyongyang, one where the war starts evenly along the border, and one where the South has been pushed back to the Pusan perimeter and is desperately trying to hold on. You can jump in and join in flight missions as well. The campaign runs in real-time, with time compression from 1x to 64x available, so while you're planning your next run, the war rages around you. You also have access to lots of intelligence, including an order of battle listing every unit in the theatre.
