Thanks! I am one of the impatient . I am really looking forward to this aircraft.

Cheers,

...in reality these are just the first 50 pages of the manual. It will most likely exceed the 100 pages.

You have a winner there Dino, going to be great

[Dino Cattaneo]

...for the impatient, preliminary manual updated in preparation for the Beta :-)

It is still missing several figures and all of the weapons information...

[Dino Cattaneo]

Just a quick note to let you guys know that the Beta testing has started!

Hopefully the Typhoon will be released by the end of the month!

[Daube]

That's good news !
Do you have any rough estimation of the price ? I'm a future customer

EDIT: just a bit of criticism, I don't really like the "material" of the canopy glass. When I look at real pictures of the Eurofighter, the canopy glass looks a bit darker and much more reflective. On your last shot, it looks a bit blueish and not so reflective. Or is it just the view angle ?

[Daube]

On this older shot, the canopy looks good, though... then it must have been the view angle. Sorry :P

[DagR]

How's the VAS usage? More or less than the F-35?

Fingers crossed! Can't wait for sure!

@Daube

Welll...it depends on the view angle, the camera used in the picture, but also on the simulator ;-). I am mostly using P3Dv3 for my screenshots, with dynamic reflections turned on.

@DagR

As for the VAS we are on the same league. BTW on my system the Typhoon has a better fps performance, but that is mostly due to the fact that its MFD system is not as complex as the F-35 one (I hope I'll never have to do such a complex MFD again!)

Dino

[DagR]

Ok, thanks Dino ;-)

Beta is going forward quite nicely - so I am playing with repaints (which were not initially planned)...

[Daube]

Any chance for a photorealistic repaint, perhaps ?

[Dino Cattaneo]

We are almost there... here are the "final" screenshots (taken in P3D v3 - but the product is FSX compatible)... Hopefully it will be released in few days.

What a beauty! An instant buy! I was really looking forward to this release Dino!

+1!

Really looking forward to this release. It looks superb.

I will need to start investigating some Tiger Meet repaints (and learning how to repaint ).

Cheers,

Beautiful Dino! Just a hint however, German Typhoons don't mount Pirate IRST!

[Dino Cattaneo]

@Luca

You are in general right, but I do not have the bandwidth to support multiple models... anyway, as far as I know, there are indeed a couple of german aicrafts that are equipped with Pirate (may be they are test aicrafts...see pic here: http://www.gettyimages.it/detail/fot...free/476873297 )

AFAIK Austria is the only country which has no Pirate-equipped Typhoons.

[Bjoern]

As far as I know, Austria uses aircraft from the Tranche 1 standard, which are not equipped with PIRATE up until Block 2 and beyond. The Luftwaffle has a potpourri of Tranche 1 and 2 birds and is slated to receive Tranche 3 and 3A ones someday.

This jet has IMHO has some similarities to the Dassault_Rafale are they related? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dassault_Rafale

[Daube]

If I remember correctly, France was initially part of the Eurofighter project, but early in the project, they separated to do their own model, which ended up being the Rafale.
I don't know the details.
