-Introduction
This is a representation of a Tornado F3 from 43(F) Squadron based at RAF Leuchars in Fife,
Scotland. FSDS Design & Animation by Andrew Tunley. Developed from Tyler Gladman's IDS Tornado.
This aircraft is my first atempt & comes as the result on months of work. Using Tyler's IDS
Tornado as a base I have used this project to teach myself the workings of FSDS & SDL Edit etc.
This model itself is only the begining. I intend to port the aircraft over to gMAX at some point
& I want to have a bash at designing a decent virtual cockpit -- Sorry about the current one. :(.
I would like to at this point thank several people for their contributions to this project.
Firstly Tyler who was generous enough to donate his FSDS source files for me to experiment on and
secondly to Brian Franklin & Nicholas McColl for their Cockpit / Pilot FSDS source files. I have
also used a Flare effect. I'm sorry but I have forgotten designer of this file. If you recognise
it - thanks.
-Installation
Unzip the contents of the zip file into your FS2002 folder. Aircraft is selectable from the
manufacturer group RAF.
-Legal
Please feel free to re-paint this aircraft it would be great to see more colour schemes but do
not alter anything else. This package maybe redistributed but all the documentation must
stay unchanged and be included in any redistributed file.
This is freeware. Do not attempt to make any money from it.
If you have any questions please contact me at aj_uea@hotmail.com
