Thats strange.  I find Falcon to be one of the best flight simulators I own.
Sure it's protected, but that dosn't mean that it isn't a great game.  I don't
find it's protection to be that much of a problem.  You have to match up two
icons right after you load it.  After that, the protection system leaves you
compleatly alone (Wish I could say that for the migs!).

I find that falcon extension #2 is the best.  The enemy migs know have their
own missions (like bombing your own ground targets) and you have to stop them.
They don't just pop up and try to kill you.  It has 3 types of aircrafts 
(escorts, bombers, and Hinds).  and each behaves like you would in their misson,
and not just like some computer was controling it.

Personaly, I hope the Spectrum Holobytes makes it big, they give good serviec,
sell at a resonable price,  and know that to keep their customers happy they
need to keep making their products better.
