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.
