[ANNOUNCEMENT] Panavia Tornado | IndiaFoxtEcho

Flaps up and wingsweep at 45 or 67 degrees?

Is reverse thrust working for anyone? If I increase thrust with reversers applied at the runway my speed increase rather than decrease.

Yep I’ve tried all wing sweep angles.

Your flight model must be “modern”

Does anyone know if the cockpit is supposed to be capable of being opened and closed with nothing turned on?

Also does anyone know where i can find the manual please? I’m on Xbox. IFE themselves said the manual is crucial to the aircraft and then just don’t provide it.

Linked from their discord

Thanks. Companies in general need to take more care to make sure Xbox users have access to the manual

New sound pack for the tornado

Will this be a separate add on or part of the package?

its part of it

Why is there barely any sound in revew videos? This is AvAngel’s review, and I am watching the takeoff and I barely hear anything. That’s not supposed to be right? This plane has two absolutely massive engines. Or are they simulating a VERY good noise cancelling headphone?

What do I need to change in the flight model to simulate a DI 48 scenario? The manual states that the default flight model simulates a DI 0 configuration, which is a clean aircraft without any pylons, tanks, or weapons. I suppose the effect of those would be modeled in the flight model. For context: I like tinkering with flight models, and have already created my own flight models and engine configurations for the JF Hawk, the C152, and the Kodiak.

I think the problem is the FM cannot change dynamically so it’s either clean or loaded all the time.

As an complete enthousiast newbey i just starting to know the tricks for flying this beautiful aircraft.There is one thing i cannot fix :grimacing:.When lowerig the flaps there is also opening a wingbrake panel.In the middle of the wing.My question! how do i lower it or is this a standard position of the spoiler?? is there a button bound to it ?

Move the throttle levers inboard (towards you) to lower the spoilers.
Position your mouse over the lower portion of the throttle (you need to do both!) then drag the lever towards you.

I don’t think this can be bound ?

Great Gonna try it right away.Super action from your side to help me out.Appriciate it.Thank you for getting me up in the sky..Greetings from the netherlands

The Tornado have airbrakes aft at both sides of the tail rudder. The air brakes can be mapped using “spoiler axis” etc.
The panel coming up on top of the wing is the lift dump used to shorten the landing roll and are applied after landing. They are controlled by moving the throttle lever one notch to the left, two notches activate the thrust reverser. As far as I can remember the lift dump can be mapped by “toggle water rudder”.

Thank you ,for your support and helping me out with the tornado.The tip with the waterrudder did the trick.Love the plane and all of his bells and wissels.For me it’s a steep learning curve , but enjoy every minute of it.So thank you again beeing a great copilot (grin).Greetings Andre

Hay guys. I was looking to pick this up on Xbox but I have 2 questions.

Does the in game checklist system work? Like I watched AvAngel’s video and clicking the magnifying glass button didn’t zoom into the precise button it wants you to interact with. Has that been fixed or added. I was also wondering if it’s the same on the F-14 from heatblur/IFE, if that ok to ask?

Also I watched a vid from someone playing on the 2024 version and the hud that pops up to talk to your copilot was showing up blank and not rendering. He could still interact with it but it was all black and blank. Is this a regular issue, or has that been fixed yet?

I can only speak to using both in FS2024 right now. Both the Tornado and the F-14 don’t even have the “Look at” eye symbol anymore. So, unfortunately you have to look for buttons, switches, gauges and what not yourself.

The dark co-pilot menu was an FS2024 launch issue and has since been fixed in SU1.

ATTENTION: Keep in mind that the Tornado in the FS2024 Marketplace still is version 1.0.5 from September 2024, where most of the cockpit switches don’t work with SU1 / SU2. The latest version everywhere else is 1.0.8. released on April 14 2025.

I would recommend holding off on the purchase until the Marketplace will reach the established standards of the general add on business, which is probably never. I mean it’s just lagging 7 months behind compared to any other simming online store in existence on that particular aircraft. The IFT F-14 Tomcat is not even availaible yet (don’t accidentally purchase the DC Design one, because they omit the developer name on the thumbnails).

It’s incredible that they are doing that to the XBox Community, which has no other choice but using the Marketplace. :frowning:
