Goa Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 :thumbup: well you can't compare VEAO and Razbam with all due respecte wtf are you talking about dude? Has razbam ever gave up and disappeared?no, they have released solid products over the years and they keep updating them .

Harlikwin Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I dont know, GR1 is pretty old now, GR4 had all the new weapons that were integrated onto Typhoon so I am pretty sure the documentation is not available. GR1 was really just dumb bombs and Alarm for anti radiation and JP233 for runway denial, both of which are long out of service. I agree, that its old. But that may or may not mean anything in terms of documentation. New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

franco8445 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 why ED or some third party has not yet done the TORNADO? it would be a perfect module for DCS also because it was one of the most used aircraft in conflicts around the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuiGon Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 why ED or some third party has not yet done the TORNADO? it would be a perfect module for DCS also because it was one of the most used aircraft in conflicts around the world. At least 3 third parties have stated their intentions on making a Tornado in the past. It's only a question of when and who, but it will certainly happen, I'm sure.

John Maynard Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) +1 for this beautiful aircraft - I saw part of the farewell flypast over Andover - I would love if HB could put their 2 seat tech to use on any variant of this fantastic jet! Edit: I am not usually a pre-order man but this would be an instant buy, providing it was presented by ED or a reputable 3rd party.

OPEC Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 At least 3 third parties have stated their intentions on making a Tornado in the past. It's only a question of when and who, but it will certainly happen, I'm sure. Hopefully. I mean, thats the aircraft that flew all more or less over europe when a lot of us grew up, including me. I can still remeber when they flew supersonic (it wasn't prohibited at that time) over our house. We lived right between Manching (WTD 61) and Neuburg (back in the day still called Mölders - and yes I know, they flew the Phantom, but there was always a Tonka somewhere near). Thats probably the most fun aircraft to fly in DCS, espacially in Kaukasus given the TFR. :drunk: Well, lets hope, at a given time, it will come. The Tornado is being developed by as many people as the Tornado Development Team contains. It progresses rapidly with the speed of the Tornado development progress. It will be released at the Tornado release date. Support your local Getränkemarkt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to get at least 10 pairs a day over the town I grew up ( along with Hawks & Hercs, and then visits by just about every NATO aircraft you can think of ). The GR1 avionics seem to hit the sweet spot for gaming, enough info & automation to help & have fun features but enough input required to keep it really interesting. Reading a few things about the F3 recently & that would also be an interesting plane in it's later versions, but it does rather slot in the same spot as the Tomcat. 1 Most Wanted: the angry Naval Lynx | Seafire | Buccaneer | Hawker Hunter | Hawker Tempest/Sea Fury | Su-17/22 | rough strip rearming / construction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean almost bigger than the wings Two engines = bigger vertical stabilizer needed in case of one engine failure to maintain yaw stability. Probably more aerodynamic consideration as well, after all F-111 has relatively smaller vertical stab being low level penetration two engines swing wing strike aircraft just like Tornado.

I mean almost bigger than the wings With wings swept, the centre of gravity is well back on the Tonka. Thus the moment arm of the fin is short and it needs to be large, not only for asymmetric power situations. Wing sweep gives you strong secondary roll with yaw, so with so much sweep, the last thing you want is an aircraft not rock stable in yaw. With hindsight, and also something the Typhoon designers forgot, the large single vertical stab is a huge rader reflection. two smaller ones would give far better radar signature.

Tonker Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I suspect not, but is there anything to read into the Tornado being (I think) the only modern non-flyable in the below, at 2'56'': Nah, I've only just met 'er...:pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterH Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) 2 minutes ago, Tonker said: the only modern non-flyable Wouldn't read anything into it, also pretty sure there was a Su-34 too somewhere in the video. Edit: nevermind, rewatched and no Su-34 in the vid. But I'd still not read too much into it yet.
