    In this video, we a look at the India Foxt Echo Tornado - Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MCRA), within Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS).
    We will be running through a full start up, departing out of RAF Valley (EGOV) and putting the Tornado through its paces over the hills of Snowdonia.

    with 17 years of Tornado maintenaance behind me I can assure you the APU is louder than the engine IRL. Also, the right engine was started 1st, at least in the RAF.

    • @coxy5850
      @coxy5850 Месяц назад +13

      There should also be a delay from APU start select to actual start to allow the APU intake door to motor open.

    • @brecklander
      @brecklander Месяц назад +8

      Agree 100%. APU was mounted on RH gearbox so to start the LH engine first meant engaging LH gearbox via the Xdrive clutch. 9 times out of 10 the APU couldn't handle this extra load and would shut down. The RH engine was always started first.

      Thanks very much for the info, Jim! That’s very surprising (re the APU noise) but, you’d certainly know better than me haha.
      I was aware re the engine start however, according to the documentation at least, either engine can be started with the X-Drive open; whilst I gather starting the left engine 1st is still not preferable, it’s what I’m used to day-to-day so, I thought I’d run with it : )

"As long as they're bombing the beach they can't be bombing anywhere else," muses the Reverend. "It's kind of comforting." Perhaps, says Mac, but the jets and their roar "spoil a very nice area."

    You're not the only one to note it's a bit pitchy, but what's new for a MSFS aircraft. Seems to have that tight, constrained feel ( vs more fluid but still controlled movement ) common to most of them too.
    Cockpit looks nice, sounds are good, not 100% on the external model, although despite seeing hundreds of these things they were usually going past at 450kts :D so slight issues probably wouldn't bother me much. Want to like it enough to get it but I don't know...
    How does it handle low level turbulence? it was built for low level with a fairly high wing loading so it shouldn't really get smashed about, but again this is MSFS.

    Have they included CofG & weights & balances etc? We would never have the wings beyond 25° on the ground. Especially with tanks on & if the fin tank is in use you’d end up with your arse on the ground eventually. The GR4’s I worked on all had their fin tanks inhibited & the wings stayed put fully fwd.

    • @IntotheBlueSimulations
      @IntotheBlueSimulations  11 дней назад +1

      Hi Madeyes,
      Weight and balance has definitely been modelled to some degree however, I’ve no idea how accurately it’s been done. That’s very interesting re the wing sweep; both the IFE and Just Flight checklists call for 25 degrees on the wing sweep but, the IFE Tornado seems to load in with 45 degrees (or whatever the mid position equates to) on the sweep (perhaps this has been subsequently addressed, I’m not sure). For what it’s worth, you can sweep the wings fully aft in the sim and the aircraft won’t tip (so, weight and balance modelling presumably isn’t 100%).
      Thanks for the info! Much appreciated and all the best to you : )

      Surprisingly Roland, a number of ex Tonka ground crew have stated (in the comments section), that the APU is indeed louder than the main engines. I still don’t see how that can be possible haha but, they would certainly know better than me! XD
      Either way, the main engines still need a bit more “ooomph”, they ought to be “ear-splitting”, as you say.
      A big thank you, as always! : )

    • @IntotheBlueSimulations
      @IntotheBlueSimulations  11 дней назад +1

      Hi TSM,
      For the thumbnail, or for the sim footage? I don’t use any filters for the sim although, I do adjust some of the external shots during editing (adding a little bit of contrast and vignette). Most of the visual “improvements”, come from being very selective with in-sim lighting / weather (both make a huge difference to visual fidelity).
      I hope that clarifies things a little? All the best : )

      Hi VBP,
      Haha, there’s no “secret” per se; it is basically just a question of sitting down with the manual and running through a couple of flights, to get acquainted with the aircraft etc. The startup usually takes the most work and the rest follows (as by then, one tends to know their way around the cockpit a little bit better). As with most things, it’s just a question of practice really. One of the aspects of simming that I have always enjoyed, is sitting down with a new aircraft and figuring it out. As a result, I think I’ve gotten pretty good at figuring out a new addon pretty quickly (and in many cases, there will be a lot of systems commonality between one aircraft and the next).
      I hope that clarifies things a little. All the best! : )

      Some addons do have visually modelled weapons however, implementation is usually pretty basic and you can’t shoot down other aircraft / destroy buildings etc. Any addons purchased within the sim(via the Marketplace), have a total ban on weapons.

      It's a bit a hit and miss ... the upper fin is also wrong for most of the jets. The additional (I think it is an external light but I am not sure) stinger just bellow the aft RWR fairing is only correct for the italian version or for very early production jets for the other countries. I think they sadly used one of the prototypes for measuring as the engine intakes are also the old ones. You can clearly see this when looking from the side.

      I can’t say I noticed an issue with the front end but, then again, I’d always be the first to admit that I have a really bad eye for that sort of thing haha (could it be related to hangovers from the IDS model?). I didn’t notice the wheels at the time however, a few people have made mention of the same thing and I think you might be onto something (I now cant “un-see” it). Either way, I’m pretty sure that IFE will continue to adjust / improve the Tonka, they have been pretty tireless with their F-35.
