Keywords: Falcon, Spectrum Holobyte, Upgrade Message-ID: <243@dataspan.UUCP> Date: 26 Sep 88 17:25:59 GMT Sender: uucp@super.ORG Organization: DataSpan Inc., Calgary AB Canada Lines: 21 I just received the upgrade for Falcon, and it has the head-to-head option in it. I did manage to find two macs, but I couldn't find anyone else to fly the second bird. It was neat though, putting the one plane on a straight line and then harassing it with the other. I'm looking forward to getting into some good engagements with some friends. You can fly it one of several ways: alone (usual MiG stuff), against another Mac using AppleTalk, phone modems or connecting a ImageWriter II printer cable directly from phone port to phone port, or against someone with Falcon on the IBM. Some things have changed on the plane. LCOS is no longer around. When you turn off your radar, you no longer lock on. As well, at Captain or higher, you are limited to 6 AIM-9J/L, rather than 8. The HUD and aiming mechanisms have changed as well. The enclosed "poster" describes all the changes and additions. -- Geoff Kratz Dataspan Technology Inc.
