3284.0. "INTERCEPTOR Questions" by KIRKTN::GAITKENHEAD () Thu Jan 04 1990 03:23

    
    I know this game is quite old and dated but I got it free with the
    computer (A500) and it's the only flight simulator I have (until
    Saturday 6/1/90 when I will buy F-29 RETALIATOR which looks superb).
    The Trouble I have is that I get severely ass kicked During the 6th
    Mission ( Surfaced Submarine Attack). The briefing before the mission
    is quite vague as all it basically tells me is to fly below 100ft to
    avoid radar detection. What it does'nt tell me is how to avoid MIG-29
    detection !! and before long there are so many enemy missiles flying about
    it looks like i've flown through a fireworks display !!!
    
    What I'm I looking for ? Where can I find it ? and Why does my plane
    have such a lousy armoury (It does'nt take long to fire 2 sidewinders
    and 4 Medium Range missiles).
    
    On the map there is another Carrier due north of mine, Is this one of
    mine ? or should I blow it out of the water ? (which I've already tried
    with no success).
    Please help a frustrated fighter-jock get through this mission and onto
    the last one.
    
    p.s.   Is Falcon a better game ? Has anyone tried the new Activision
    flight sim FIGHTER BOMBER ?

    I'm pretty sure most of your questions have been answered in previous
    discussions about Interceptor.  Try 1448.* and 1471.*, which you could
    have found with the NOTES command "DIR/TITLE=INTERCEPTOR".

    re: fighter bomber,
    
    If its anywhere near as good as Activision's "Helicoptor Gunship"
    it will be superb!

    you said in you note that you were going to get F29 RETALIATOR on
    6/1/90 well i bet you were disapponited as it was put back to some-
    time this month.
    as for your question on mission six i have had the same problems.
    the previous notes on interceptor that i read about mission six 
    did not work for me but try them anyway.
