User manual GAMES PC FALCON 4.0-ALLIED FORCE-KEYLAYOUT-US

[. . . ] We say "game" with a little caution. For hardened followers of Falcon 4. 0, the franchise has come to represent the most advanced and immersive military flight simulator ever produced for the home PC. Battlefield Operations: Falcon 4. 0 Allied Force (FalconAF) builds upon that reputation to give the closest feeling yet of what it is like to fly one of the most important combat aircraft of the modern era. The F-16 Fighting Falcon, otherwise called the "Viper" by those that fly it, is the workhorse of the United States Air Force and many of her allies around the world. [. . . ] Two US carrier groups are also stationed there. Operation Under Siege Intelligence suggests that Serbia has invaded the neighbouring country of Albania after a build-up of forces along its border. The Serb leadership claims Albania has been sponsoring the Kosovo Liberation Army and the only way they can prevent further troubles is to annex Albania. NATO, however, has decided that Serbia's policy of systematic and often brutal clearance of civilians from captured territory cannot be tolerated. The orders are to repel the invasion and push the Serbian forces back from the borders for twenty miles. It is hoped that this will provide a buffer zone against further possible aggression. However, Russia hasn't endorsed NATO's actions. It considers Serbia's invasion of Albania as legitimate self-defence. Russia also believes that Albania's annexation will help stabilise the region. Russia says it may send aid to Serbia, even if that means openly opposing NATO forces in the region. Page 257 of 716 Battlefield Operations: Falcon 4. 0 Allied Force Korean Campaigns KOREA: Operation Tiger Spirit North Korea, weakened from years of isolation and a decaying economy, makes an ill-conceived attack on South Korea, but quickly finds itself in trouble. Its attack is quickly repulsed, but the pressure remains as the combined allied forces decide to push North Korea back and keep its forces from reorganizing. KOREA: Operation Rolling Fire With a failing economy and a vast million-man army poised for battle at the border, North Korea is hungry for conquest. North and South Korea are evenly balanced and the bubble has finally burst. KOREA: Operation Iron Fortress North Korea makes a bold, lightning strike into the south, overwhelming South Korea with a combination of surprise and the fierceness of its attack. When the missions appear, the campaign begins and the clock starts ticking. The Frag Order for your squadron lists all the missions being flown by your F-16 squadron over the next few hours. The missions are listed chronologically by default, but you can reorganize the list by mission priority (P), takeoff time, mission type (Role), package and mission status. When a new campaign starts and each time you return to this screen, FalconAF selects one of the first missions on this list and places you in the lead aircraft by default. Scroll through the Frag Order and select any mission on the list that you want to fly. Information for this mission will appear below the Frag Order and also as a flight plan in the Planning Map. Keep in mind that you can only join missions that are in briefing or enroute. As the war progresses, all missions will be flown and take off at their designated times.

If you want to choose a different mission, click on any mission in the Mission Schedule and choose your plane in that mission. You can choose from air-to-air, air-to-ground, recon and other types of missions.
