JF Tornado GR1 RELEASED

Not sure about the last 2 points but I've never had a problem with the flaps or wing sweep. I'm using the standard flaps command mapped to my joystick. Do they work if you use this method?

EDIT: OK.. just tried the flaps and wing sweep using both the controls in the VC and the 2D window. The flaps and wings are doing what the levers say and they match the flap/slat/wing indicator on the VC. I don't have the very latest FSUIPC but if your version is very old.. perhaps this might be the cause? I honestly don't know.

Also i did a short testflight (with wings forward and flaps one position down, since i can't retract them full up), and have some questions.
Altough i was flying (see Picture) with the Flight Path Marker in a -7 deg. nose down position and a speed above 300kts, the aircraft was flying level (see vertical speed indicator).
I also experienced the opposite, flying nose up and descending (speed was not low).
My system is Windows 7, 64, i7 4790K, 8Gb ram, gtx 770, fsx, fsuipc 4.937 (that's what the manual says), asn, rex 4.

If you haven't already done so, please submit a support ticket on our website so we can look into the flap/sweep issue that you are getting - http://www.justflight.com/support-contact

The APU starting issue will be fixed by the update (the list of fixes is somewhere above). The HUD flight path marker is currently being fixed.
 
Martyn,

We're once again past the beginning of another week, awaiting the fixes that have been promised.

I hope that your team is about the release something.

Not an attack, but reviewing the list of bugs that are being addressed, I have to ask how they were missed in the first place.

As a simulator technician & aerial refueling SME, prior to the fielding of our simulator, we ran through entire pre-flights and missions to ensure that every procedure worked, per the aircraft. Something like an APU or engine start up would be easily caught, unless testers were simply using Ctrl E to start up and go.

I anxiously await this fix and finally try the Tornado in game.

I'm sure the patch/upgrade/hotfix will be released when all bugs are ironed out.

Myself, I prefer them to take a bit longer and come up with the definitive model, so that they can move on to other projects!

Just my two €cents worth.

Do not hasten JF team ;). Im sure than They working hard. I know than this situation can do more frustrated people but think than "it's a OPEN beta (pre order) still" and wait for the final version.
I hope Tornado will recive fps like in F-4E of MV! smooth like a butter but more info is expected : ) .

I fully agree. Being a payware addon pre-ordered by many simmers, it should have been better tested before the release. Patching , in my opinion , is always not very professional.
 
I doubt there's many addons released that do not need a patch or two, but I agree, there were a few too many issues on release. It did worry me slightly when the release date was announced a couple of weeks in advance, as I wondered if it was going to be released "ready or not", and it seems this may have been the case.
I do like the model, and just hope the upcoming patch fixes the outstanding issues.
 
A bug fixing campaign can be very hard, but I'm sure that Just Flight will solve all or most of the problems that came up.
I'm waiting a lot the good time to finally buy and ride the Tonka!
 
And speaking of Tonka, one lost a couple of missiles during landing at RAF Akrotiri today.... Thank God they didn't explode....

I didn't know that a pre - order is an OPEN-BETA version . Never read on the JF Tornado product page :banghead:
First and last time I preorder something:mixed-smiley-027:
 
Guys,

Cool down! It's an FS addon for crying out loud. An addon from one of the most respected and helpful firms around I might add.

For those of us who have too much time on their hands: the blogs of Krugman and Stiglitz are available, readable and highly informative! ;)

there is no doubt that the fps in the phantom are a lot smoother.... but i think in terms of texturing and systems you can't compare those two aircraft.

As consumers, we've simply exercised our right to pose questions and voice our opinions. And it's been in a pretty professional manner.

As dates come and pass, are we not allowed to ask questions about this product that we've paid for? Many in advance.

If no, then this whole forum should be taken down.

-Jeff
 
I look at it this way , you can see how the product grows , watch as the Tornado gets developed , its is great to getting a cheaper pre-paid model and watch it build .. in some ways you do become the Test Pilot and that is the best part , across a forum you can put ideas in .. I'm very sure the designers/model builders put this down on their notepads :cool:
 
Hi all

First of all thanks to everyone for your patience, much appreciated

The service pack is now available: http://www.justflight.com/support/tornado-gr1/8479c1c

If you are experiencing performance issues then I'd recommend that you configure the performance options as per the first image in this FAQ: http://www.justflight.com/support/tornado-gr1/ecf2653

Please note that we are continuing to look at ways to improve performance however we were keen to make our work to-date available to you all. As noted in the FAQ, if you are using FSX then unfortunately you will still encounter an FPS drop with the mouse cursor visible, an issue that is particularly noticeable when using very complex aircraft. We hope to be able to mitigate that issue as much as possible as we continue with our optimisation but unfortunately we cannot fix the issue as it resides in FSX itself.

The service pack also contains numerous fixes and improvements in addition to the work on the performance issue. The support page lists the fixes and new content that is included. Any bugs that have been reported but aren't mentioned in the list are still being addressed.

Just a quick reminder that although we do our best to read every post here, you'll need to submit a support ticket to get a guaranteed response to a query or to report an issue/bug: http://www.justflight.com/support-contact

Thanks
Martyn
 
Cheers Martyn:encouragement:

Just off to work (drat!!!) but I'll give it a whirl when I get back tonight.
