Tornado GR1 in-development

The German Tornado IDS has no Optical equipment under the Cockpit, thats not a German model.

The Sea Eagles and Sky Shadow pod do not really fit either. It should be Kormorans and Cerberus pod. But I guess it's only a matter of switching weapons in and out. ;) Splendid work!
 
Amazing Screenshots and paints!! Just Pre-ordered . The Mach Loop will be very busy this week I think ...
By the way Hello to everyone, it's my first post .
 
I've resisted the pre-order thus far due to performance worries on my i5 but I have to say.. my resolve is beginning to falter!!

Thank You Ian, sounds good. I'd like to clarify this future TacPack integration too. Will it be or will it be ... maybe? Programming integration for TacPack it's a lot of work for all weapon systems, ground mapping, new HUD integrations, air refuelling with real time, multiplayer tests ect. Tornado has a lot kind of weapons. Many weapons carrying by Panavia Tornado isn't present in TacPack yet.

Any news about this? :wavey:
 
The plan is to release the Tornado on Thursday and then start work on the TacPack upgrade on Friday.
TacPack integration is new ground for us so I'm not sure exactly how deep it's likely to go at this stage, but we should have it usable fairly soon after release.
If any dev-types with TacPack knowledge are reading this and would like to lend their experience to the project then please feel free to drop me a line.

It must always be the first time :). Fingers crossed for this project with TP too. :applause:

Just to clarify: The JF sim is focused on the British Gr.1 Tornado, as they had access to a real one. The German IDS version is just an external bonus model, not a full simulation of the IDS variant. Cockpit and weapons are carried over from the Gr.1.

A shame, it really is a matter of modelling a couple more weapons and implement them. Maybe in a future update? It is still an impressive piece of work and I'm really looking forward to it!:applause:
