My Falcon mission disk II (operation Firefight) arrived last night
directly from SH.
The first thing I notice is that the frame rate seem to be much
faster. I run both the older mission disk and this one on a '030
based Ami, and this one seems perhaps twice as fast. I don't know
if this is a '030 phenomenon only (perhaps some loops now fit in
the cache when they didn't used to) or if it is something more
general.
Also they've fixed a few things which used to annoy me. You can
now successfully move the nose of the plane down when you are
moving at a high velocity - didn't used to be able to do that
very well. A few other tweaks are in place here and there as well.
I think it is well worth the smallish price they ask for it. They
improve it with each new mission disk.
As a side note, a flyer they sent with the game claimed they are
working on "Falcon 3.0" for the IBM. Made no mention of the Ami.
