If You really want to get into the Basics of Falcon 4: Allied Force try to get into a squadron, seriously. I couldn't make heads or tails of the Manual For the Most Part (not to mention I hated getting into a situation where I didn't know what to do just to thumb through the index pages.) But the Squad I was in for a good three or four years actually sat down with me and we practiced the basics, Formations, Group Tactics and so forth. The Two Squad Leaders were actually retired F-16 Pilots (which helped me immensely), One was from Norway the other was from Regina, Canada. Plus theres lots of skins and stuff online that enhance the graphics if you have a problem with it.
I like Lo-Mac because I got tired of flying just the F-16, MiG-29s and Su-27s are very fun and very different aircraft compared to their American counterparts.
