I bought it recently, so I have the color version. The color is beautiful. It's a simple flight simulator in the sense that the display is simple, the plane handles excellently, and the terrain is simple. I don't mind any of these because the trade-off has allowed for the smoothest flight simulator I've ever played with on the Mac. Personally, after playing Fpkker Triplane I've been reluctant to put Falcon back in the drive(s). I can't rattle of frames/per/second for you, but clearly Falcon feels 'jumpy' compared with Fokker. And by the way, I land the triplane about 99% of the time! Complaints? I wish you could engage more than one sopwith at a time - one gets too easy. john calhoun
