I have FALCON v2.2 for my SE/30. I have a difficult time flying. I am
at the point where I can shoot migs down at the second level, but I have
only landed successfully once or twice at that level. Does anyone have any 
tips on landing and flying the plane? I use the MouseII configuration.
Does the mentioned joystick help very much? How much does it cost?
My problem seems to be that I can't line up the plane exactly where it should
be. Also, when I am dogfighting, I don't do much else except turn and decelerate
until the mig is in my sights. Any tips there?

Has anyone tried dogfighting over a Ethernet network? I haven't been able
to get it to work on a cluster of MacIIx's here that uses ethernet. The 
documentation says that Falcon should work over Appletalk.

In the new fixed range radar mode the is a number readout in the lower
lefthand corner that is like: 352o 20
the "o" being a degree sign. There is no explanation of what that reading
is.

Thanks for your help,
