Eurofighter Typhoon: Pictures and Videos

[Fear-Factor]

Amazing Eurofighter 360° simulator video:

The audio is German, but this thing is not your grand dad's simulator. Not articulated though. The shots of a guy kinda hanging on to the outside of the cockpit are kinda surreal. The guy flying is a commercial Airbus pilot.

TIL the FBW likes being flown "one input at a time". The HUD has arrows that show the maximum rate of climb without slowing down, and the thing won't let you stall; they show how the thing refuses to keep stalling and puts the nose down.

I wonder what software this is? One thing I notice, the world is VERY round in this sim, either this is a property of the projection dome or the Germans are actively working on debunking flat earth

edit: apparently, there even is English AI voice over now by Youtube, automatically, depending on your browser language settings. Who knew ...

That's from the wide angled camera that captures the scene. especially in those right banking turns.

Picture this: Pilot's view 12 o'clock sees the horizon, 3 o'clock high sees the horizon and 6 o'clock sees the horizon. The cameras FOV sees almost the whole horizon line at the same time/picture. what else than a massive curve should be the outcome?

Here's some more Eurofighter pics from "Day of the Armed Forces" at Jagel, State of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.

It's a bit of everything: action shots, detail shots, scenic shots. But hey, I figured, more Eurofighter media = gooder, eh?
