I played the whole Falcon series from the 80's up to Falcon 4. It was top of the line back in the day. I fly in DCS these days but it was the Falcon series that set me on a life long love for computer combat flight sims....

[mohiothman]

I remember ... _acquiring_ Falcon 3.0 as a young kid back in the day and being absolutely overwhelmed by its complexity. Perhaps it's time for a rematch.

[lonnierhdgejr]

i bought this (4.0) back in the day when it had the flight manual with it. it took me 2 weeks before i could even land it. lol
so much fun.

Great and exciting news. My Falcon 4 Allied force installation CD, paperback user manual is still in my collection box. I played all the Falcon 4 mods after the source code was linked. It is just amazing how this sims has survived these many years of iterations. Looking forward to a better future for this sim. Kudos to the BMS crew who kept the life line alive for the sim over these years. It beats to see that the campaign engine in this sim is unrivalled to this present day of software development.

I was a huge fan of Jane's Combat Sim games, and would love to see those resurrected with VR support.

The main selling point of a new Falcon, and the main reason why BMS still is a thing (next to BMS's incredible dedication of course), is the fact that BMS (Falcon 4) has a proper dynamic campaign. When it comes to pure aircraft / systems modelling DCS is probably leaps ahead by now - and it offers more than "just" the Viper.. Microprose has huge footsteps to fill here, with competition that pretty much mastered the art of aircraft and avionics design. Obviously, i wish them the best of luck, but will be a tough one.

I am 62. I began with Falcon 3.0 and moved on to Falcon 4.0 when it was released. This is very exciting news! Thank you for sharing! I feel like a kid again!

[johnclowes]

Yep... back in the early 90, I played most of the microprose sims and l loved em.. now retired I am getting back into it.. but can't remember how to fly the damn things. So it's back to training I go..

Old 87th Stray Dog here. Excited to see what's coming for this series! Still have my original Falcon 4.0 kit with the wonderful 3 ring binder in mint shape. This was a head above the rest back in the day!

[ervmoore]

Wow! My old Falcon 4.0 is still in my library. Haven’t loaded, played in years. A big MS2020 VR flyer now. Tks for sharing.

[Dan-niip]

Great news. Falcon 3 was the best flight sim ever. Let's hope they produce big box versions with old school manuals and maps.

[SPBurt]

Falcon's dynamic campaign still reigns supreme. DCS is still trying to develop one but props to them none-the-less. I wonder if the developers know what they are getting themselves into?

[jochenschmidt]

THIS is great news! Diehard Falcon 4.0 (Allied Force etc.) fan, here. This was my top favourite Simulator of all times. The dynamic single player campaign is something i miss in all the other flight sims out there. I am absolutely excited! A dream came true! Thank you so much for this info!

[damsonn]

There was no mention about Falcon 5, was it? MPS only assured that they wont intervene with BMS which is reassuring since they are doing really good job. The good thing about MPS getting the rights to Falcon series is that they will complete the missing documentation for the older titles (the manuals for MIG-29 and Hornet are missing from Falcon Gold release).
Fun fact - Falcon series was never truly Microprose title - it was always the work of Spectrum Holobyte which at one point (after Falcon 3) bought out Microprose, and since Microprose was considered as more recognizable trademark, Spectrum Holobyte basically renamed themselves for Microprose.

[johnwicks]

This announcement blew my mind. Exciting times and I hope they are actually going to bring a new Falcon 5. The fact they plan to support BMS is fantastic news.

[beijingpete]

Wow, I had Falcon on the Amiga 500! Glad to see Microprose getting back into the market, I hope they do some re-writes.

[MAWvRALITY]

Microprose fuelled my passion for flight simulators and sim-racing with their Falcon seires, F-Strike Eagle, F-19 Stealth Fighter, Gunship, M1 Tank Platoon, Silent Service and all of the Geoff Crammond GP series. Added to everything Jane's produced - it was a great era for simulation fans.

[GAFflyer]

Let's just hope that they will allow BMS to continue, now that they have reaquired the copyright. Wouln't be the first publisher that pisses of its fanbase wiht corporate BS like that.

[Naption]

To many memories with my Father and Uncles playing Falcon heading to the game store for more Ram etc cheers this game was crazy

[a-platty]

My boxed copy of Falcon 4.0 is probably the only thing i still have from 1998! I remember being at the computer shop (remember those? ) for when it opened on release day.
