maybe you have not, but this repaint developer only gives the repaint kits to it's club members, it is after all our perogative. You are of course free to download the freeware aircraft, and produce your own paintkit.:salute:

I won't be doing any paints for this one. Had a short test flight today and this aircraft is not to my taste.

 

[UKMIL]

entirely your choice, I am sure the FS world will continue without them

the AMI textures are coming, I just had to make sure the Italian IDS was basically the same as the German

Admittedly performance is a bit poor on my machine so I think I'll resize a lot of the textures (primarily the odds and sods in the shared folder) and there are a few little glitches (double wingtip contrails at times, no engine sound when not using burner and panned to the rear of the aircraft) but these are all simple tweaks to fix and it's certainly a keeper.

Lovely to see a native GR4 in FSX.

So why isn't this topic stickied?

Hey folks, the Tornadoes are out, and they're awesome! Gr.1, Gr.4, and ADF. NICE! And they're donationware -- download, and then hopefully toss a couple of pounds at a good cause.

Good point Denny. Ideally a release thread would have been started which would then be stickied. I'll stickie this thread with the title changed to "released".

if you manage to make any improvements, feel free to drop them over to me, and I will incorporate them in an update:salute:

Is it my taxiing skills or does the Tonka really love tipping over in tight turns?

 

[UKMIL]

it does if you try and turn too fast yes

The Ukmil Tornadino

Admittedly performance is a bit poor on my machine...

I love the Ukmil Tornado, but on my laptop FPS are quite bad... I suspect a VC issue... So, since this is quite trendy these days, I swapped Dino's Grumman F14D VC into the Tornado and voilà, I have a beautiful Tornadino to fly around with no more FPS dips!

The HSI/GPS comes from the FS9 Iris Tornado and the PFD is from the default EH101... It adds a little bit of colours...

Here is how to do this painlessly (you should have Dino's F14D already installed). Hope it's ok with you Ukmil if I post this... for us guys with cheap or old computers...

Update to the model.cfg files like this...

[models]
normal=gr1
interior=..\..\Grumman_F14D\model\f14d2

Add the "F14" line to each texture.cfg files, for the VC textures... No need to copy / move any files!

[fltsim]
fallback.1=..\..\UKMIL Tornado Shared\Texture.common
fallback.2=..\..\Grumman_F14D\texture
fallback.3=..\..\..\..\Scenery\Global\Texture
fallback.4=..\..\..\..\Texture

Copy the F14G panel.cfg file to the Tornado panel folder (backup the previous one). Add this to the [vcockpit01] section:

gauge01=F3!Effect Controller1,  0,0,1,1
gauge02=F3!SonicSound,     0,0,1,1

Dont' forget to adjust the viewpoint like this in the aircraft.cfg file: eyepoint = 15, 0.0, 4.72

These are the main tricks... Now you can play with the MFD gauges, sounds, effects and such... or keep it simple.... and have fun!

no problems, I know there was an issue with the VC, but tried as i did, I could not elminate the FSP issues in the VC.
