_Welcome to my Falcon 4 ressources!______________

Falcon 4.0 is the benchmark in flight sim technology, supported by a large and dedicated community. On this page, you can find some of my minor contributions to the improvement of this "piece of art".

Check the links to keep in touch with the community or look at some of the screenshots to admire the beauty and complexity of Falcon 4.0

10.8.2001 First plug-in for F4Weather released

Get "Scattered Storm from the F4weather homepage

7.7.2001 F4Weather released

F4weather allows you to apply different "typical" weather patterns (with
corresponding wind directions, windspeeds and temperatures) to Falcon 4
missions. It can be applied to saved campaigns, TE's, training missions,
instant action and dogfights.
A number of typical weather patterns come pre-installed, giving you
different types of cloud cover and wind speed/direction. More can be
created using advanced mode.

New features of the 1.10 release include:
- Edit INSTANT.CAM to change the weather in dogfight and instant action
- New and improved weather patterns, hand-crafted for best effects with eFalcon 1.10
- "Radar images" of the weather situation
- Random button to ease your management decisions ;-)
- Theater independent (also works with Balkans Terrain)
