Falcon 5.0 Confirmed!

[B-21 Raider]

After reacquiring the rights, Microprose have confirmed they are laying the groundwork for Falcon 5.0.
Until more info becomes available just don't ask for a release date :)

I heard that in addition to the F-16 they wanted to make the F-35 as well. I don't even care if it's not gonna be perfectly 1:1 with the real thing, I'm still super stoked for that. Before the announcement I was thinking it would be cool if someone made a spiritual successor to Falcon based around the Lightning IIs but here we are.

Now to get F15 strike eagle rights!

[blitzen666]

What do you want to see in F5? I want a manual that is easy to follow. I want the sim to start out easy & get harder as time goes by. Assume the sim starts with F-16's that have aim-9b sidewinders & aim-7a sparrow missiles & 500 dumb bombs & a jammer. call this 1990, as time goes by all the weapon systems get more complicated...................

Also make the scenery more 3D & ..........................

Its not going to be any good, they NEVER are now, nobody knows HOW to make games like 4.0 anymore.

it will be a Goat Rope.

I hope they make a Falcon 4.0 Redux first like they have done with B17, I just want new graphics I don't need a rewrite. The game is already brilliant.

Then for Falcon 5 a new setting would be great with a new enemy, maybe China. I would love to see a F35 and a Typhoon. It would be good if they could produce 2 or 3 planes with a reasonably accurate suite for each but nothing overly complex. That would be best for me.

But tbh I would actually rather see a fresh F22, F18, Lightning or Typhoon lighter sim game than another complex F16 game. I mean Ive just had a look at Falcon 4.0 BMS and what more do we really need other than a new setting?

[HumbleSiPilot77]

As long as they don't touch BMS, even though they said they are fully supporting it, I don't trust these companies. Likely, F5.0 will borrow heavily from BMS, with better graphics, sitting somewhere between BMS and DCS quality wise, and with option to address those "gamers" who don't have the patience to RTFM.

I had high hopes for this when they re-acquired the rights months ago. I also had high hopes for B-17 The Mighty Eight, but when they released B-17 and its not much of an upgrade over the past especially in the graphics department i said meh and passed.

I'm not sure what to expect from Falcon 5. With FS 2020 and 2024 in the works and DCS, I sure hope Falcon 5 isn't just a redux product like B-17. Its 2024, not 1999. Flight sims especially rely on great graphics that push the hardware available it the time of release.

Microprose today definitely isnt what it was then. Its a much smaller outfit you can tell that from the games they have brought out recently. Falcon 5 could be very good even if just a remake of F4 with better graphics and a few new additions. I cant imagine they have the resources to produce a new high level sim look how long it takes Eagle Dynamics to produce just a single plane for DCS. And I definitely dont want a new study sim anyway. F4 was complex enough for me and the BMS version is way too complex for me.

I was under an NDA with Micropose/Hasbro, beta testing the last final and official versions of Falcon4.0. The one thing that set F4 apart and miles above any combat flight sim to date, was the dynamic campaign running in real-time. If the new Falcon doesn't take that feat and do as good or better, then this will just another run if the mill combat flight sim like most all have been since then. Scripted campaigns in combat flightsims just don't cut it.

F117 2.0 when? o.o

But scripted campaigns DO cut it.

The majority of sims today have scripted campaigns.

I do hope that they have a dynamic campaign, but it appears to be difficult.

If they offer better opponent AI, based on human like behavior, for example, that would be something DCS does not really offer.

I want a dynamic campaign, but let's not act as if it is the only thing standing between F5 and success.
