I can't find any readily available info, so I've sent in for more. I'll let you know if I get a reply.

I'll be rather occupied in the next 2-3 weeks, but after that will be back to work on the modell at "full steam". I have already divided the modell in to the right amount of separate parts, done some skining for internal parts, fixed UV map issues, (so the template will be skiner friendly), although noting to show now...

All right... I finally got a reply from the USAF National Museum. They said that the best way to get info on both flight characteristics and the radar would be to obtain a copy of the flight manual. Unfortunnately, they aren't staffed to copy it and send it to me and there isn't a free copy online. I've attached links to two websites where you can buy the manual so the Tornado can be finished.

Nice finding, i'll contact my friend who lives in the US see what we can do.

Also:

Is anybody up for help me in the skining front? Unfortunetly it is only a 3d modell now so you have to have some sort of 3d viewer program to able to skin. If anybody want to help work, just post here or contact me PM.

Help would be greatly apprichiated and will boost the project big time! Thanks in advance!

Thanks to philhl (who works on the G10N1 project) the plane is in the IL-2!!!

Oh it is just a static object no shadows whatsoever, extremly alpha progres picture.

In the meantime, I've managged to finnish the UVW map to, so skining is prior now, then DM will follow it. The progress will be slow because soon i get real busy with my RL. Stay Tuned!

News ?

[Jimdandy]

Any new info on this project. Hopefully you will continue and bring this into the game.

[Mechanist]

Well thanks for keeping an eye on the project, it is really good to see that many people cares about this project!

First the good news:

-An expert skinner has offered his services to the project, so the 2D arts will be quality stuff for sure!
-I put some more details in several parts, like the cockpit and the bomb bay.

The bad news:

-Work has been stopped in the last two months due to IRL activities, but I will pick up the work in early december, and hopefully i can work on it till early february.
