The detail that went into the design of these Tornado designs can give you an immediate appreciation of the sheer power and force of the plane, as well as a keen understanding of how much detail goes into the actual creation and look – not only does it perform at an incredible level, it’s one of the most esthetically pleasing planes around too.

What You Get

Aside from being provided access to one of the most exciting planes in recent history, you also get three totally customized airports to take off from that give you the perfect terrain to try out all of the variety of features that come installed in the plane, not least the radar or ground proximity systems.

You will be provided with three separate bases that you can take off from, and these include the RAF Marham, RAF Lossiemouth and Luftwaffe base Norvenich, all of which have previously been used in the past for Tornado missions and make outstanding places to get started with.

You can even enjoy refueling as a whole new feature added into the game entirely from this addition – you simply fly behind a VC-10 and/or KC-10 and get re-fuelled! Can you stay on track long enough to get the refueling you need?

By including all of the main flight systems that you would expect to see, including a high-detail HUD that gives you magnetic readings, airspeeds and other features just like you would get in the real thing you can really maximize your flight experience.

There’s even been a Ground Proximity Warning System included to give you all the realism you need – everything you could possibly require from a realistic version of a Tornado has been added here. Everything that you can pull off in a Tornado is documented in-game with sound files and text messages that are based on real NATO documents, so if you want to learn genuine procedures for hitting the sky the way the real troops do, these documents are a great place to get started.

Note: The additional features are not included for Microsoft Flight Simulator X
