MAXsenna Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I'm a bit disappointed. Those news are an hour old and only 22 replies sofar. What happend to the tornado crowd? People asking this module for a decade! (or even longer) First day purchase for me because it says 1989 in the advertising. They are obviously frozen in shock! Looooots of comments on the Discord though. Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudikoff Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Great news! Have fond memories flying DI's Tornado.. Most of it was on autopilot, though, so can't wait to see how it actually flies 2 i386DX40@42 MHz w/i387 CP, 4 MB RAM (8*512 kB), Trident 8900C 1 MB w/16-bit RAMDAC ISA, Quantum 340 MB UDMA33, SB 16, DOS 6.22 w/QEMM + Win3.11CE, Quickshot 1btn 2axis, Numpad as hat. 2 FPH on a good day, 1 FPH avg. DISCLAIMER: My posts are still absolutely useless. Just finding excuses not to learn the F-14 (HB's Swansong?). Annoyed by my posts? Please consider donating. Once the target sum is reached, I'll be off to somewhere nice I promise not to post from. I'd buy that for a dollar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh.....and sidewinder of some kind. That's it boys. A 1989 German IDS is probably the most limited IDS variant there is. Maybe it's a starting point and we'll get some feature creep into the Gr.1 version/weapons. Maybe.

Kinda disappointed that Heatblur didn't get it. I would argue besides a post cold war gr1. The next best would of been an Italian pa200 tornado. They didn't have a equivalent to gr4 so some modest modernization and addons of thier gr1 cousin saw some interesting weapons get added into the 2000s.

OK, I knew that would come up, I forgot the Marineflieger and Kormoran. Actually those Marine paint jobs / liveries are some of my favorites. But that fact remains, it's a limited capability Torando at FIRST glance. Maybe it will turn out otherwise. Given the complexity of Tornados NAV ATTACK avionics, a limited weapon set might reduce complexity for the developer. I do feel however, that we might not get a module that does full justice to the Tornado story. A 1991 RAF Gr.1 might have been doable and would better represent Tornado's full capability and have provided a better complement to current DCS modules. As well as having a better combat history. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The contemporary GR1 was more capable than the '89 german IDS. Plus the GR1 had about 900lbs more internal gas. A '91 (post Operation Granby) RAFG GR.1 would have been the optimal Tornado to bring to DCS in my opinion - the connecting fibre between the old Cold War all weather low-level strike and the post-CW medium altitude LGB delivery platform. The GAF/GNAF Tornado IDS won't be half bad, but the GR1 would have been the icing on the cake. 5 So ein Feuerball, JUNGE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
