Bear from AvHistory has nothing but good things to say about Falcon 4. As far as realsim goes it blows LOMAC out the water.

As for LOMAC: Eye candy. ;D

Falcon 4 is very realistic in flight systems, etc. I haven't been able to try Lomac because my rig won't support it. I like F4 though.

F4:AF looks ugly, and the some of the air-to-air missiles have unrealistically high kill ratios (AMRAAM: 99.5%), but as far as systems go, they say you could be trained to operate an F-16 with it.

LOMAC as great graphics, and it allows you to fly 7 different aircraft, and the systems modelled are done relatively well, but they are not nearly as in depth as F4.

I love LOMAC. :)

I don't like F4. :-/



That's about as "in depth" as I feel like going right now.. :P ;D

I reinstalled Lock On yesterday. Not Impressed.

Joystick is ultra sensitive, plane just oscilates.

AntiAliasing dosn't work

Unstable. mine crashes often.

If I get the osculations sorted then it will be fun, but not it's plain anoying.

Also, fs2004 has better graphics than LOMAC.

As for a the joystick goes it's very adjustable:

Make sure the "Dead Zone" and "Curve" is set right, mine's set like this;

As for the AA not working, are you enabling it via your video card options, and do you have the newest drivers?

I've never played either but we do get asked quite a lot for these and CFS 3 so we have decided to stock them and see how we get on with them.

Don't own nor have I tried either, sorry. :-[

If I was in your line of business, I'd make it a priority to have tested every product to know what I was selling to my customers.

You have a great excuse for probably the biggest collection of payware anybody here are likely to own!
;)

Screenshots & Reviews please town.  ;)

well if you want my lightly used copy of CFS3, take it. i don't play it.

that and i'm just not a WWII fan, or any military for that matter. althoughI still hear F4 is worth getting anyway.
