Although the HUD has been retro-fitted to suit its English-speaking audience, it and the fully functional cockpit instrumentation deliver a good sense of ‘there’. Still, we get an impressively well rendered cockpit overall, a strange stew of analog and digital displays that has more in common with the vintage F-14 Tomcat than the Falcon. To a greater extent, Fulcrum flies and plays very much like NovaLogic’s F-16 Multirole Fighter, alongside which it was developed. In stark contrast, you’re pretty much left to your own devices here – orders are purely cosmetic, and the addition of a wingman lets you yourself run the show. On paper, the older MiG-29’s suffered from several key limitations – unfriendly cockpit ergonomics, limited range, antiquated avionics and the Russian’s reliance on ground control to paint the battlefield, leading pilots to heavily rely on orders from below. Players are treated to a very nice looking terrain engine that-amazingly enough-is readable enough to fly at nearly treetop level by eyeball alone. NovaLogic has a long tradition hitting the high-end of the scale in the graphics department, and their MiG-29 Fulcrum / F-16 package of games makes no exception. Not a part of the Lockheed Martin Fighter Series ( for obvious reasons one wonders why there was never a Mikoyan – Gurevich Jet Fighter Series? ), NovaLogicâ€™s instead made use of a Russian test pilot “to obtain expert counsel regarding the authenticity of the simulationâ€™s flight model, avionics, and overall performance.” So were they successful? Werewolf, Fulcrum provides sim-pilots a chance to fly this top-of-the-line Russian fighter, both across 40 single player missions and in online multiplayer. NovaLogicâ€™s first aggressor aircraft sim since the KA-50 helicopter in Comanche vs. As always, the environments look stunning.
