The DCS:World MRCA Tornado Project:
We chose the Panavia Tornado as our first project. A big, very ambitious project, we know that. But we have a team with the appropriate know-how and experience and are convinced that we can do justice to the aircraft.
Due to the complexity of the aircraft, development will take a little longer than for aircraft with less extensive systems. For this reason, we are not yet able to make any predictions about a possible release date.
Simulated aircraft configuration
The role model:
We have taken a very specific aircraft as our model - the “Bunte Kuh”, the Tornado with the tactical identification 44+56 in the Last Call livery of the Jagdbombergeschwader 34 “Allgäu”. The end of the squadron was decided at the end of 2000 in the course of the takeover of Air Force Structure 5. The 44+56 was build in 1989 and is a Pre-Assta build. So the simulated model will be a "legacy" Tornado - Pure cold war technonoly.
On December 31, 2002, operational flight operations were officially discontinued. The aircraft initially went to the airforce collection in Berlin Gatow, but can now be seen in the military history collection of the JaBoG 34 Traditionsgemeinschaft. You can watch the journey home here (german only).
