Can Open Falcon be used with F4AF?

Do not believe that is the case. Check your PMs.

F4 turned 10 years old on December 11th 2008. There was a pretty outpouring during this event when several squads from around the world converged. Below are some of the screen caps and video from the event.

Wolf? Did you forget how to refuel?  :D

At 1 mile hit 'Y' then '2' and the boom will come down and you can proceed.  :aok

Looks like a great event, incredible it can handle that many people online and be stable.  I remember when it was wild to get 4 people to fly together without problems, then it slowly increased over the years - very cool.

Thanks for the Amazon link, Chalenge. I've also been looking to explore Open Falcon and needed a copy of 4.0. Got it.  :)

Great thread, guys.  :salute

Not sure why no one likes F4AF as much because I think its closer to reality and it certainly is much more stable and doesnt require the older drivers...

F4AF has better dogfighting connects too without the campaign going I mean...

Great story telling sir!

I've been reading about Falcon for a while.  Still haven't touch it, but after those words, I may do just that!

Curse you people. 

I had given up Falcon for good.

Now I"m back. 

In any case- is there any chance to have a resolution greater then 1280x960?  or is that the 'hard limit"?

Cant answer that for sure about FF but with F4AF widescreen resolutions were added in patch 11 I think.

Will F4AF and F4 w/OF4.5 coexist on the machine??  I would like to experience both.

Is it the best? Is it worth it?
The only thing apart from AH that tempts me is the upcoming (?) Il-2 Battle of Britain.
All advice appreciated ;)
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Last night my partner and I figured out air refueling. We pulled off a simple 2 airbase strike - the first being dropping 2 B-61s at 1 base - and busting away from the blast zone opposite way in formation. Think we got around 130 kills apiece on that. Then we used BLU-107s on a runway at another base. Landing, I decided to give him the OPEC-1 arrival and really mess ATC up for him by declaring emergency next to him while he's on short final.

Yea it was fun.
