westr Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) I hope you do it. Often thought if you could merge the mission planner with modern DCS graphics, you'd be on to a winner. Image if you merged that with a Tornado developed by polychop, with what I have seen of thier work It looks top notch. Would be a dream come true.

joey45 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Good luck in getting a reply. IF/when you don't get an answer do a follow up e-mail. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Northstar98 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Good luck Polychop! The Tornado would be a great addition to DCS, even more so than the F-18 IMO - seeing we don't quite have the naval environment (yet). Would Polychop consider modelling the different variants?

kam Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I really hope Polychop are successful with their efforts in trying to make this happen. I caved in and bought the Sim Skunk Works Tornado for FSX. Makes me so happy bombing around the British countryside with the terrain following radar keeping the aircraft at 200ft :D Just think how good it'd be in DCS :shocking::thumbup: Intel 5820k | Asus X-99A | Crucial 16GB | Powercolor Devil RX580 8GB | Win 10 x64 | Oculus Rift | https://gallery.ksotov.co.uk Patiently waiting for: DCS: Panavia Tornado, DCS: SA-2 Guideline, DCS: SA-3 Goa, DCS: S-300 Grumble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Hrothgar Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 It's going to be a while before they get to it if they decide to do it. We'll get the Gazelle shortly I think but it will be at least a year before we see the Bo-105. The Tiger has been strongly hinted at as their third aircraft. If we assume that takes a year from the Bo-105's release, we're looking at 2019 at the absolute earliest for the 4th aircraft which may or may not be a Tornado. That's pretty far off imho, a lot can happen by then including a new third party popping up and doing the Tornado as their first aircraft for DCS. Edit: Not trying to be a downer here, just trying to be realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterH Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 This was posted over Razbam forums by a modeler of theirs a few days ago. If you ask me, (and a few others in thread), it's obviously a Tornado vertical tail. Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V DCS-Dismounts Script Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borchi_2b Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Well what ever they plan, we are focusing the gazelle right now and try to see what else we like to do. Further down the line there is also the bo105 and the Ju87. As you all know we are all doing this job next to a normal day job which hopefully changes soon. If so, we will be able to produce faster in all regards, which gives us opportunities. About aircraft and future plans we will not leak to much for now. If a tornado is in production already by us or not will be kept secret for now, that is something i probably can state here. The reasons for it are obvious to all I guess. But we have more then only the announced in production, that is for sure, what, well in this case, I can only ask for patience and see for yourself soon. cheers Sven http://www.polychop-sims.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schroedi Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Is there a 3rd helicopter between the Ju87 and a possible Tornado? Or is that skipped / pushed back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borchi_2b Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Hey, nice find. I still rememer my janes f15/ f18/ lonbow 2 manuals. To be honest these manuals help always getting the hang of it. I had a look into some real tornado manuals a few weeks ago. Well to be honest, these manuals are soooooooo complex, I understand now why it is constant studying for 6 month in Holloman and I can tell you that it was only 2 manuals of many. In total the pure programming of a Tornado of todays standards in a sim would probably take 2-4 years of coding, depends on the number of coders. http://www.polychop-sims.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Dioxin Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Yes, a daunting prospect. Funny, I was reading this book last night, "Hostile Skies" by David Morgan (David remains the last RAF pilot to shoot down an enemy aircraft), and he was telling of how most of the Harrier pilots dreaded blind, IFR approaches in fog, and were not entirely au Faix with the procedures and mostly 'hammed' it in, to landing on the ship! It immediately crossed my mind that a lot of simmers could relate to that! :thumbup: If the true professionals struggle with it, what chance have we mere mortals got? :music_whistling: He also mentioned twice having nearly died, whilst doing things in the cockpit other than looking out of the canopy! http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7305550-hostile-skies Kneeboard Guides Rig: Asus B650-GAMING PLUS; Ryzen 7800X3D ; 64GB DDR5 5600; RTX 4080; VPC T50 CM2 HOTAS; SN-1 Pedals; VR = Pico 4 over VD Wireless + Index; Point Control v2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borchi_2b Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Ohh I heard a lot of such near death stories. One of my friends nearly crashed into a radio tower once they flew through a valley in Germany and well, guess what, the tower has never been in the map info. Where this happened and what was the outcome is something I keep for myself, but stuff like that, what can be read in books, I sometimes got real life talks of. One of the pilots stated once to me: " during a flight a pilot makes about 100-200 mistakes. It is just a matter if they are lethal or not" http://www.polychop-sims.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Home Fries Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 One of the pilots stated once to me: " during a flight a pilot makes about 100-200 mistakes. It is just a matter if they are lethal or not" With any flight incident, there is usually a chain of events that took place where if one person broke one link in the chain, the incident would have been avoided. We would make mistakes all the time, but we would also back each other up and "check our answers". I've lost three friends around the boat and in two of the cases the "breaking one link" could have avoided the crashes, and the other case is unknown but was probably a system failure. It happened at the time that the fleet lost two F-14s in a week, and the bird went in the day before the mandated safety standdown. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some material might be confidential and the time and workload that is needed to check every page for its status makes it unable to share too.
