Do wait and read more feedback
I do hope it is not as bad as many reported.
But my suspicion is partly confirmed as I saw the
screen shots looks too much like GP2
some blockiness were evident in their screenshots

Bad timing there dude.
GunShip! Patch - 4:47 PM EST
This customizable version of Gunship! allows you to alter the way the
program behaves. The following keys have also been added: Shift W -
deletes waypoint 1 and ` (tilda) - cycles weapons. This version loads the
custom.ini file and alters the settings it finds specified. You must
alter the custom.ini file (text) in order for your preferences to take
effect.
I'm sure if the game warrants patching after release, it will be patched.
Cheers,
Rod.

Programmers disagreed with the approach
and promptly got the kick!!
I truly feel sorry for the Falcon4 team
It is evident now that indeed the Falcon programme
is ahead of its time, ( bugs and all )

The first incidence of this I can recall was several years ago
when MPS released "Across the Rhine". That game was
highly touted and totally sucked. They didn't patch it because
it would have almost required a total rewrite, so everyone
(and I mean everyone) was pissed. My theory is that this
single incident marked the start of the downward spiral for
MPS and simulators (racing and flight) in general.

Hasbro didn't own Microprose at the time.
The Falcon 4 project has been disbanded unfortunately...
When are the money men going to realise that object orientism extends
to games too - how much would we love it if you could upgrade a game's
graphics engine in the same way as MS upgrade DirectX ??

Hasbro took over MPS a few months before F4 was released.
The F4 team were told to release the game in DEC 98 or
shut down the entire project.
