SKYWARD: IRON HORIZON

Launch. Engage. Return.

Take the seat of Viper 1 aboard CVN Horizon. Choose your mission and weapons package, spool the engines, launch from the carrier, and fight your way home.

SKYWARD: IRON HORIZON is a first-person naval jet combat game with a working cockpit, mouse freelook, an ocean battlefield, volumetric clouds, and air-to-air and ground-attack missions.

Choose your sortie

• Fleet Patrol — intercept hostile fighters and secure the airspace.
• Iron Horizon — stop incoming strike aircraft before they destroy your carrier.
• Coastal Spear — attack Kestrel Island's radar and supply targets while evading SAMs.

Equip for the mission

Choose Interceptor, Multirole, or Rocket Strike loadouts. Fight with the cannon, guided missiles, and wing-mounted unguided rockets. Use countermeasures and your wingman to survive, then return to Horizon for recovery and a graded debrief.

Cockpit instruments, threat warnings, weapon effects, and a destruction sequence keep you informed from launch to the end of a sortie.

First launch

1. Pick a mission and loadout, then select Launch Sortie.
2. Hold Shift to spool the engine to at least 88%.
3. Press C when the launch checklist is ready.
4. Hold S after clearing the bow to rotate and climb.

W/S controls pitch, A/D roll, and Q/E rudder. Shift provides afterburner in flight; Ctrl applies the airbrake. Use the mouse to look around the cockpit and V to center your view. The HUD and mission briefing provide weapon and objective prompts.
