My Falcon mission disk II (operation Firefight) arrived last night
directly from SH.

The first thing I notice is that the frame rate seem to be much
faster.  I run both the older mission disk and this one on a '030
based Ami, and this one seems perhaps twice as fast.  I don't know
if this is a '030 phenomenon only (perhaps some loops now fit in 
the cache when they didn't used to) or if it is something more
general.

Also they've fixed a few things which used to annoy me.  You can
now successfully move the nose of the plane down when you are
moving at a high velocity - didn't used to be able to do that
very well.  A few other tweaks are in place here and there as well.

I think it is well worth the smallish price they ask for it.  They
improve it with each new mission disk.

As a side note, a flyer they sent with the game claimed they are
working on "Falcon 3.0" for the IBM.  Made no mention of the Ami.
