And I just realised that I’ve already posted to the forum. Must be old age catching up on me. Anyway, nothing like repetition to drum in new knowledge and awareness.

Whoa that was like Groundhog Day. Or is it Warthog…
Know the feeling about old age man so don’t worry about it. Those were definitely the golden age of combat sims for me also. Maybe a slight case of rose tinted nostalgia glasses, I don’t know 
I’ve no stories or anything interesting to share with you on the level of depth you desire though sadly. Love what you’re doing though - I had a look through the progress!! Dedication 
I bought Microprose F-117 2.0 on Steam the other day (summer sale for next to nothing) as a retro nostalgia hit. I seem to remember it being better but we are spoilt with the advance of technology I guess. Moves so fast!! Still a great game though but kinda didn’t feel as I remembered it. We had more imagination back then to fill in the missing frames and polygons lol

Well you have to remember that back then it was cutting edge. I was so blown away by Tornado after seeing it on a friend’s PC that I ended up buying a brand new 486SX computer, sound card, and analogue joystick just so I could play it . It cost me about 2 months net salary at the time (yes I was young, single and stupid back then ).

The Tornado is a must-have for me! One of my favorite fighter jets. When I was a kid in the 80s those things did a lot of low level flight training over Holland, when my family went camping there every weekend and during summer break. It was so loud that it scared the living daylights out of me every time, but I loved it!

No. Sorry.
Hey it’s fine was just curious looking forward to it anyway 
Just curious. Is this still in development?
Yes, on their discord they posted end of August:
*TORNADO *** …we have FINALLY COMPLETED the geometry of the pilot cockpit. It took way more than we planned - as we said we were not happy with the quality of the geometry we had…and we remade it basically from scratch. It looks WAY BETTER now. We still hope to have a Beta ready by the end of September, but it will take a lot of work. (edited)

Any update on a release date?
The last update was on 28th Feb suggesting 10 working days from then. That puts us about now so I would expect another update in the next few days.

The Tornado was designed to be very stable in low level, high speed penetration flights. I’m guessing IFtE knows this, and will model the flight dynamics properly.
I’ve got my finger on the ‘Buy’ button for this, It’s one of my favorite military jets of all time.

Do we have an idea when it will be released, and to Xbox /marketplace?
He planned for release earlier this month but decided to add features that were intended for the first update. Sounds like it might be a few weeks yet. Xbox will release along with PC or shortly after. He posts regular updates on Facebook so go there for all the details and his next update.

Probably the best ever sounding jet. This will be awesome in the loop!
After the release of the Tornado video…everybody buys the Touching Cloud Airshow addon. Absolutely awesome to add these wingmen formation flying to every aircraft…never knew that.

Yep, prior to that video, I thought the Airshow Assistant was just smoke and flares.
I almost didn’t watch the video because this addon was already an instant purchase upon release.
