Below a list of most important features, some are considered unique of SSW Tornado:

Terrain following radar linked to flight director and autopilot, TFR is based on real SRTM elevation data;

Ground Mapping Radar with dynamically computed radar shadows;

Dynamic Drag Index concept, external stores load/drop affect not only the weight but also the aerodinamic drag;

Wing sweep between 25 and 67 affect the aerodinamic behaviour changing the position of center of lift and inertia moments as well;

Spin Prevention system;

Bye,
Alessandro / SSW team
 
TY for this great news! Crg! If someone doesn't see this page - the price is 40 Eu.

Some notice (according SSW service pack will be in January):

FIRST VERSION INCOMPLETNESSThe serious health problem that has plagued our boss has delayed much the development process not allowing us to complete the 100% of systems, very complex, of this model. Therefore, even if it came out before end of the year, which is likey, the model will have some incompleteness of which we apologize since now, we will solve in the first service pack before mid/end of January 2016.
Incompleteness concern:
- Air refueling
- IFF panel, BRSC, CCSand others minor that do not prevent use of the model to 100%.On the last checks before release we discovered a subtle bug in the radar dll that can be a serious flaw, the bug could not corrected in short time so we decided to cut out the RWE feature, we will correct it as soon as possible. We wish you all an Happy New Year !/SSW Developing team

but we can live with this.

:applause:

I read about Red Panda - it looks very interesting for performance and we all know "moving map" its a Achilles' heel of modern jets in FSX/P3D and FPS killer.
 
Sticky? :very_drunk:

Is it possible to add in the future soon (SSW TORNADO MAP files):

Lybia,
Irak,
Syria?

Hmm.. I was looking forward to this but 4 separate downloads and 4gig of HD space for one UK paint has thrown water on my fire so to speak. Keen to see what users with 'i5 range' pc's have to say though:biggrin-new:
