AboutI had great fun with the fast paced missions some 20 years after initial contact. Here is a gallery of some highlights.

AboutMiGMan thanks Fausto Romeo for this review which was actually one of the first additions to the Flight Sim Museum.

AboutOne of MiGMan's wobbly test flights! I made this video back in The-World-Before-YouTube, when dinosaurs roamed the earth.
MiG-29 Fulcrum came out in 1998 bundled together with F-16 Multi Role Fighter. The idea was to promote dissimilar air combat at Novalogic's BattleSpace server.

AboutIt's hard to keep up with the MiG... very easy to get behind the aircraft.

AboutI was busy as a one-armed paper hanger on final approach! Quite tricky to get the recommended 10 degrees AOA... more practice is the answer I feel.

AboutThis was tough... they shot at me (with live ordnance) ... I thought it was supposed to be a training sortie... ; -(
Check out the next video where I (hopefully) PASS this mission.

AboutI think I only just scraped through this mission because the MiG-21's couldn't find me!

AboutI passed the bombing, not elegantly but nonetheless, then a rudder failure meant trouble on landing... I mean WHO or WHOM parked a tank there?

AboutI did escort the fighters successfully. My wingman did most of the work as I directed him via voice command. And then I took out the enemy AWACS (scratch one MiG-29...).
This is the first video I've made with voice control, using Voice Attack. I make so much more use of the wingman when I can simply talk to him rather than hunt around in the dark for keys!

AboutA simple NAVEX turns into a Badger hunt!

AboutFlight testing my ridgy-didge state-of-the-art hotas voice-controlled Fulcrum!
1. Pan view working and mapped to the HOTAS. Not TrackIR but pretty good for a 20 year old sim that doesn't support mouse look.
2. Voice control for control surfaces (flaps, gear, chute), wingman.
3. Draw distance? Can anyone help? I doubled the draw distance in the MIG29.INI file, but every time you enter the sim it overwrites it back to 26.
4. Low speed, high alpha
5. and... I didn't take the situation at the threshold seriously enough...

AboutIn this action packed and punchy edit I refly the mission which is becoming somewhat of a nemesis! But it's still a lot of fun.

AboutNight flying! - - - Dangerous - - - Exciting! - - - Even more so when you're being shot at...
Actually the graphics in MiG-29 Fulcrum look stunning at night, and of course draw distance becomes irrelevant.
Enjoy this one!

AboutSome Tu-160's turned up and put on quite the show with their four afterburning engines! ... Then we shot them down.

AboutSecond attempt at this bombing mission. The bombing is very forgiving in this sim... but then we ran into the most 'Top Gun' helo pilot of all time!
Then I shot him down. Eventually I shot him down.
I found the explanation for the 'Top Gun' helo pilot in the documentation for the mission editor. Flight models and aircraft models are independent... and the manual warns not to assign an F-16 flight model to a chopper... which is exactly what some wag at Novalogic did here!
