Spectrum Holobyte at one time planned an additional expansion pack for Falcon 3.0 in the same vein as Mig 29, Hornet, and Operating: Fighting Tiger that would let you fly an A-10 Warthog. Advertisements were even made and distributed with Falcon Gold (a CD-ROM version that boxed all of the above in a single set), but alas A-10 never saw the light of day.
This game was rated the tenth best game of all time in the 150th issue of Computer Gaming World.
This game is a member of Computer Gaming World magazine's Hall of Fame.
Falcon 3.0 was one of the few games released before 1995 that specifically utilized the optional add-in math coprocessor (now standard on everything made since the 80486) for additional functionality. If you had a math coprocessor, Falcon would give you the option of using it to improve the accuracy of the flight model and increase detail -- without slowing down the simulation.
