Falcon 4.0
Operating systems
Falcon 4.0 runs on both Windows and Mac OS. It is one the earliest games to support multiple processors. Graphical bugs are experienced during gameplay while running in Windows 7. Some textures will show bright purple sections with and without the patch and with the patch, text is unreadable while using hardware rendering. Switching to software rendering solves this but the game slows to a crawl while the cockpit is in view.
Version 1.08 Patch
The version 1.08 patch provides bugs fixes.
