Falcon 4.0
SuperPAK


From the Superpak manual:

FOREWORD BY THE PRODUCERS

"It has been over a 18 monthq since the SuperPak was started. It all began in early 2000, when eRAZOR wrote the F4DX patch, a DirectX 6 to DirectX 7 DLL proxy that translated DX6 calls and redirected them to their DX7 counterparts. In doing this, he fixed some of the crashes to desktop that caused problems for many player pilots flying the 108i2 exe with DX7. The Falcon community was very impressed with F4DX.

Some time after F4DX was written a guy comes in to IRC and asks a few questions. Knowing what he had done in the recent past, 'mirv' didn't hesitate to give him the answers he was searching for. At this point, it wasn't anything yet. It was simply one man trying to make Falcon 4.0 better. This quest started out with improving graphics and frame rates, but almost immediately became much more than that.

At this point, they were only two guys - who knew that they would need more help to succeed! Some testers, who were good friends and good pilots, got on board. Then somewhere along the way, the so called "eTeam" picked up some extremely talented programmers - Codec, JJB, Pogo, Marco, Sylvain and "Someone". The group also picked up some top beta testers such as Paul Stewart, Vexx, Apollo11, various members of RPG, and the 87th Stray Dogs.
 

Falcon 4.0 - SuperPAK


In 2001, eFalcon developed into a project to transform the original Falcon 4.0 into the most realistic simulation it can be. After the individual releases of eFalcon 1.10 and RPG's Realism Patch 5 that caused quite a stir, a solution had to be found - to work together for a unified patch, to improve the flight experience and to ease the installation procedures for the various patches. This brought up the idea of an "unified exe", a patch that would offer the combined improvements of SuperPak_1 1.10 (improved avionics, better graphics) and RP5 (improved AI behaviour, improved campagin realism)."
