WE ARE DOING A TORNADO FOR MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR and here are some (very) preliminary screenshots. We plan to significantly improve the appearance, and give it a realistic flight model and a reasonably accurate systems simulations.

 

We have good documentation on both the legacy IDS (which will be our baseline model) and the IDS-MLU. We'd like to do the GR1, ECR and possibly the ADV variant too - the latter is depending to the availability of resources.

Hhmmm, that might even tempt me to get civvysim

I don't think IndiaFotxEcho will bring that project to DCS. Two seater, very complex. MSFS and DCS are two completely different ballparks coding-wise and
what kind of accuracy is expected.

Well, if they have the license and can pull it off, it's certain to be a big seller. After gaining some experience with G.91, why not? It is complex, but also something much requested by the community. I heard rumors about some sort of license squabble around the Tornado, though, and I don't know on what terms they licensed it for MSFS.

They could also ask some other devs for help, like TrueGrit did. Multicrew and two seaters are HB specialty, and I believe that by the time G.91 and the MSFS Tornado are done, the Eurofighter will be long off their plate.

Why not HB just do it themselves then?

Don't think two seaters will be of any trouble. It's kinda like it's a major feature in the MB-339. And it was working in the free one.

Because HB have announced almost a decade worth of modules.

Looks like AviaStorm has the Tornado covered. We'll see how well that project goes.

[Breakaway]

Would love it if they brought their M-346 module over from MSFS along with a few others

[WRCRob]

The M-346 would be a pretty great addition to the game especially the FA version.

Leaning in that direction myself

Right now I think that DCS has, likely hit its limits on trainer light attack aircraft. I'm kind of half expecting ED to announce that they are bringing back the BAE Hawk as they're next module. And that would possibly turn customers away from any more TA types, at least for a while. Right now what I would jump at would be asset packs. Ariete, Centauro, Dardo Freccia, Iveco trucks and MRAPs, Skyguard (Gun & Aspide), Orrizzonte, FREMM,Meastrale + ambious and support units. If you guys could do some asset packs  I happily buy them.

Getting a few hours in in the 339… nice

cant wait for the DCS version

[Eldur]

These guys are bringing the Tohneighdo to Misfis? Sold!

Meanwhile, I'll be happily grabbing their new MB-339, eagerly await the Gina and hope for an F-104 next
