Following on from their award-winning Canberra PR9, Hawk T1/A Advanced Trainer, Vulcan and Tornado GR1, this highly detailed simulation of the Tornado F3 adds to Just Flight's stable of outstanding military aircraft, having been developed with hands-on research and access to both real-life aircraft and training simulators, as well as pilots and ground crew.
The Tornado F3 is a tandem (twin seat) interceptor version of the Panavia Tornado. Adapted from its original role to counter Cold War threats, its primary role was intercepting airborne adversaries to deter and prevent an air-launched nuclear attack on the UK. It can carry out these roles in any weather due to being equipped with the powerful Foxhunter multi-mode, track-while-scan, pulse doppler air-intercept radar to detect and target hostile aircraft. Although there were numerous problems in its development, it served in its role faithfully and successfully until replaced by the Eurofighter Typhoon and it flew its last operational mission for the RAF in March of 2011.
The aircraft has been modelled to an exceptional level of detail and features a variety of 4096x4096 paint schemes covering its time in RAF service, realistic payloads and ground equipment. The aircraft features a fully 3D virtual cockpit with smoothly animated 3D instruments, 80s-era glass cockpit displays and custom-coded systems and avionics.
MODEL
