Falcon/FalconInfo
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

FALCON ANALOGUE - TAKE CONTROL - FEEL THE DIFFERENCE
No more struggling with the mouse for classics like Elite.
Magnetic Image has produced an analogue joystick interface,
Falcon Analogue. It allows you to use up to 2 PC compatible
analogue joysticks for more advanced control and playability.
It plugs into the parallel port and runs on all RISC OS machines.
It provides the Joystick SWI and can also emulate the mouse and
keyboard for total compatibility with most games including Elite.
Falcon analogue costs : �39.95 inc. VAT and P&P.
15 pin Analogue Joysticks (available from most dealers)
start from �10 to over �100.

Using the provided Falcon Analogue Setup Files (Obey Files) for Elite :
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Run the Analogue driver module. Run the !Falcon RISC OS setup application.
For 2 button joysticks, drag 'FA_Elite2' on to the Falcon Icon. For 4 button
joysticks drag 'FA_Elite4' onto the Falcon Icon. You will need to adjust the
calibration for your joystick - see your printed or online hypertext manual.
Now save the Setup file away again, and double click it to use it when
playing Elite : Remember the hot key Left Shift + Left Alt to turn Mouse and
Key emulation on or off, if it gets in the way of other Elite screens like
trading etc. or the desktop itself.
Use Elite in the CAPS LOCK ON mode for the given setup file.
2 Button Mode
Joystick Left and Right : smooth roll - use to match the rotation speed of
the space station for turbo docking !
Joystick Forward and Back : fine up / down control, use to pin point
fleeing enemies before reducing them to their component parts.
Main trigger fire : lasers fire.
Top fire button : Speed Up
Both Fires together ('virtual' C button) : Slow Down.
4 Button Mode
Joystick Movement as above.
Main Trigger : Laser Fire
Top Fire : 'E' ECM instantly available
Additional Buttons : Speed up and slow down.
As you get more practised at setting up Falcon files, with a 4 button stick
you can set up missile targeting 'T' and firing 'M' as the extra 'virtual'
buttons C and D. This means you can have a total of 4 functions from just 2
buttons, all provided by the Falcon.
Also : Some joysticks (quite expensive ones) provide a 'top hat' which is a
joystick on a joystick. This can be setup to look around the crafts views as
intended with Keys F1 to F4.
