MiG-29 Fulcrum
Fausto Romeo's Review
Performance
Note that this is consistent with actual operation of the Fulcrum, since in the real thing upon depression of the LOCK-ON button located on the throttle, the nosewheel is allowed to rotate up to +/-30° for taxiing purposes, whereas the normal mode restricts deflections to +/-8°.
Keep an eye on the HUD's speed indicator, and when it reaches rotation speed (about 215 Kmh), pull the stick 1/3 back and clean the aircraft by retracting the landing gear and flaps (unless you disabled this option in the game settings, the aircraft will do this automatically).
Yes, now you are airborne, screaming past the runway with lots of excess power and nothing to stop you from accelerating thanks your superior thrust to weight ratio. If 100% power is not to your liking, push the throttle to its very limits (in the real MiG-29 you would have to lift both A/B toggles on the throttles to go from MAKSIMAL to FORSAZH) and watch those afterburners light up in full bloom with a noisy 'boom' and a swift 'whoosh'
Night flying is particularly exciting
