SOMEONE PUT YOU IN CHARGE OF AN F-16. " There you have it in a nutshell. The quote came from a fan of the Falcon series of simulators and it perfectly sums up what this game is all about. [. . . ] It has the advantage and South Korea, along with its allies, is pushed into a serious defensive position. In days North Korea could break through the Pusan perimeter. It is up to the allies, and in particular U. S. air power, to hold the line and slow down the North Korean onslaught. Choose one of these conflicts by clicking on the picture for the conflict. You can also load a saved conflict or join an ongoing online campaign. Priorities When you start a new campaign, you are presented with a window for adjusting the Campaign's Page 258 of 716 Battlefield Operations: Falcon 4. 0 Allied Force Priorities. If you want to start quickly, simply accept the default values and go straight to the mission schedule screen. You cannot change the ATO by changing these mission priorities. The Air Command will still find the best assets, which may or may not include your squadron, to achieve its goals. Here's what the various priority values do: TARGET TYPE These sliders adjust the priority the campaign engine gives to generating missions to target those areas. For example, if the first slider under aircraft was far to the right, the campaign would generate more missions against enemy aircraft, such as SWEEP and BARCAP. If the Set by HQ button on the Priorities dialog box is green, the Campaign engine sets your squadron's priorities automatically. As soon as you make any changes using the sliding bars, this button will automatically be deselected. If you make changes but then want to return to the original settings, simply click on the Set by HQ button again to restore all the original settings. Page 259 of 716 Battlefield Operations: Falcon 4. 0 Allied Force MISSION TYPE Here you can change the frequency of a type of mission generated by the campaign engine. For example, if you wanted the campaign engine to place emphasis on missions to destroy enemy surfaceto-air missile sites, you simply move this slider more to the right. Be careful though: by placing a greater emphasis on one mission over another, you invariably reduce the frequency of other missions. That might leave you dangerously exposed in a war scenario! Page 260 of 716 Battlefield Operations: Falcon 4. 0 Allied Force PAKs The battlefield is divided up into zones. Adjusting the slider here allows you to concentrate missions in a particular area. For example, if you had a troublesome concentration of enemy ground units in one particular zone, simply highlight that zone by clicking on it and move the PAK slider to "High. " More missions would then be created to operate in this particular area. When you're happy, click "OK" to go to the Mission Schedule screen. Mission Schedule As the Mission Schedule screen loads, the Campaign fills in the Mission Schedule window with missions you can fly. You can select any mission in the Mission Schedule but since you can only fly one at a time, missions that you do not fly are flown by the computer. As the Mission Schedule screen loads, it creates a number of missions available to your squadron. [. . . ] Voice Message system, also known as Bitching Betty. A computer voice that provides verbal warning of potentially threatening situations. An air-to-air radar search mode that will only allow you to track a target if its aspect is 91° or greater to your relative position. (1) Alternate designation for the M163 Vulcan AAA system. [. . . ]
