Fulda Gap 1985 DCS World Campaign Showcased in Extensive Video
Flying Cyking released an extensive video of their Fulda Gap 1985 A-10 campaign, showcasing one of the initial missions.
Here’s how the developer describes it:
“The campaign features voice acting, detailed briefings, and Cold War-inspired storytelling. It is designed primarily around the historically appropriate A-10A, while also fully supporting the A-10C and A-10C II.
Step into the role of Liam “Bishop” Midwell, a young A-10 pilot arriving in West Germany shortly before a fictional Warsaw Pact offensive in May 1985.
The first two missions introduce the characters, operational area, and unfolding situation before the campaign gradually develops into a much larger and more intense conflict.”
The campaign is in the final review phase and will be released soon.
