Its funny that Falcon had so many advanced features in the weapons and displays but flew like a turd, while F/A-18 Interceptor looked like WB 1.3 but had so much better
flight dynamics.

 I always loved the burst of pixels with a "kill", but the
explosions in the mission where you chase the cruise
missiles looked straight out of Atari 2600 missile command.

Sorry... just feeling nostalgic for a minute

Ya know, thinking back I based what I said on the way it landed- In the air Falcon wasnt all that bad- pretty impressive for the era, but close to the ground, particulary with landing I guess the scenery, aircraft, and pilots perspective with airspeed always seemed out of sync and unrealistic to me.

But F/A-18 was undoubtedly more fun than realistic. And
consistent in that regard.
