What players say

Players almost universally agree Falcon 4.0 is bought only as a license to run the free Falcon BMS mod, which delivers a deeply modeled F-16 and a dynamic campaign that evolves with your actions. Sentiment is split on the base game's price hike, and players warn it runs poorly on modern PCs, crashes often, and offers no tutorials for newcomers.
