Laage Air Base, Northern Germany. Dawn breaks grey over the shelters when the klaxon wails — SCRAMBLE!
You are the quick reaction alert pilot on duty. Your MiG-29 waits cold and dark inside the hardened shelter. No time for comfort, no time for doubts — climb in, bring the Fulcrum alive, and get airborne.
Ground Control will vector you onto unknown contacts. Some will be routine escorts, others simple intercepts for identification. But be warned: not every flight on the scope is friendly. A target may just turn hot… and sometimes you’ll find yourself staring down a fight for your life.
The intercepts are randomized — you will never know what’s waiting over the horizon until GCI gives the call. One mission may feel like a drill; the next could be a knife fight at supersonic closure.
Your tasks:
+ Startup, taxi, and takeoff on alarm.
+ Follow GCI instructions to intercept unknown traffic.
+ Engage only when cleared or threatened. Some aircraft are harmless, others hostile.
+ Return to base if ordered or when fuel is low.
Rules of Engagement: ID before fire unless fired upon. Trust your ground controllers — their radar sees more than you do.
And if you find yourself with time to spare during warm-up or the lonely ride home… perhaps check your F10 menu. Rumor has it there’s something in there to keep you company.
Good hunting, Fulcrum driver.
Features:
+ 10 randomised intercepts, ranging from escort to challenging dogfights
+ custom GCI (output can be toggled between metric and imperial)
+ custom kneeboard
+ quality voiceovers
+ custom soundtrack via F10
+ versions for cold start and hot start
+ intended for quick fun
Enjoy!
