Today I decided to take OF out for a spin and took some pictures.

Hey dude someones engaging us



DOH !!!

Not a bad looking Falcon - my measure always is the FS9 Ollssen model.
Is this related to Falcon 4.0?

Yes its a mod for Falcon 4 called Open Falcon the 3d models and skins are quite high quality. The pilots are animated they'll look around with the frontseater looking where you look in the 3d pit. OF can be regaded as the most complex sim of all sims available at the moment. Alot of the features in the F-16 MLU tapes are actually modeled in OF. Online the radio is used for voice coms as is the data link. Its quite impressive and yet again I find myself studying the DASH34 to remember how to do half this stuff. I'll take FF4 out for a spin today and post some shots for comparison, FF4 I'd regard as the best graphics out of all the F4 mods.

More shots of OF:

Lizard unleashed




And Hornet with Spanish AF markings which I chucked on a few weeks ago.

Cool shots. I just wonder how on earth you can enguage at dogfights flying those super fast falcons?!? Do you ever crash/miss? lol

Yep I've had a few crashes and sometimes its easy to overshoot the Migs if you misjudge the overtake speed. Last big dogfight I was in involved 20 aircraft and I hit the deck twice 1 was due to me getting into a departure at 10k ft with a Mig in a slow fight and the other was from trying to pull a lead turn vertically at low flying migs. The best way to avoid crashing is use a trakir and be aware of your height above the ground.

Thanks for the reply- looks like awsome fun!
