Just Flight Eurofighter released!

***hschuit*** · May 14th, 2013, 07:45

Fully agree with JensOLe and Wombat666, I took many pics at RAF Coningsby and most of the time training fits like these is what they use and that is what I like best:

Another +1 for alternative real world training loadouts. When I get round to picking up this addon, which I'll definitely be doing regardless of any future updates, I'd prefer if the Welsh farmers don't think that I'm waging a virtual war on them when tearing through the Mach Loop!

Just look at some of the weird things under wings we've seen in the past, most of them only used in trials or as a very limited 'Field Modification', or just as an Air Show Static Display piece.
For example, a Harrier GR.7 complete with 3xBL755 - 2xAIM9 Sidewinder - 2xTanks - 2xPaveway II LGB., or (my pet hate!) 'Bazooka Rocket Tube' clusters slung on P47's and P38's, along with assorted AA missiles that simply don't apply to Phantoms and Starfighters, in fact, we could probably fault most 'Military' additions in this way, but I believe this is really part of the package that purchasers expect and a developer needs to cater for the market.
We are (most of us anyway) not enthused about a load of crap spoiling our aircraft, and I'd be very happy to see a plain 'Vanilla' Typhoon wearing a couple if AIM9 launchers and a single belly tank, perhaps that might be incorporated in a forthcoming patch.

Funny to see, that the "loadout"-discussion goes on.
As you might have seen I had mentioned it some posts before, but I don't think that the JF-team wants to share my opinion. Maybe, if some more try to make some advertising for some new loadout-options or a new loadout-system, they might include this in in update.

Nevetheless I am goeing to get this in the near future. It looks so sexy!!

Where is the spanish livery? Spain is one of six primary users that use this plane, and one of the four manufacturer of this jet fighter.

creating an aircraft, that allows the end user to select whatever they want as payload is not hard, as many of us developers have done. So it would not be too difficult for JF to follow. The FSX code for custom payloads is very easy

**hairyspin** · May 14th, 2013, 12:55

I'm really disappointed there's no option to bolt a kitchen sink under each wing... but in all seriousness has anyone looked at the promotional material at the JF site? I just did and I'm moderately sure a clean option is displayed in the video.

But what do I know, I haven't bought it. Yet.

Baz, that's a really good-looking model, kudos!

Looks like a sweet fighter addon.

May just have to get it. But sign me up for a loadout upgrade. For a fighter addon to really get high marks in my book you have to be able to customize loadouts.

**Scratch** · May 14th, 2013, 17:54

And don't forget it has mashable buttons and crankable knobs and sounds like............well, it sounds damn good. Better than most kerosene burners for FSX.

**Lionheart** · May 15th, 2013, 13:33

I am close to getting this.

Does anyone know if it runs in Prepar3D?

Yes, it runs very well, but you will have to move it across yourself.

Ian.

p.s my screen shot was taken in Prepar3D

Apart from this one and a host of others I saw my google imaging "Eurofighter":

Indeed some of the RAF have a darker nose.....

**bazzar** · May 16th, 2013, 04:43

The Eurofighter nose is made of different materials to the main fuse so it will kick up a different level of specular in different lights. The RAF ones are having their specular levels toned down though to better simulate the latest schemes and will be incorporated in the next upgrade/patch. Along with a few other "suggestions" made.

A man and his Eurofighter. Sure beats a Porsche when you talk about what you drive!

Caption competition, perhaps?

LOL, before this gets embarassing you should know that this guy is *not* a pilot but a disgraced politician

(a former defence minister who left office in disgrace when it came out that he had plagiarized his Ph.D. thesis)

In that case:"I designed this thing, you know."

**JIMJAM** · May 16th, 2013, 09:07

Not impressed.

So not an RAF one with a lighter nose then....

Thanks Ian!

I'll probably get it tomorrow night, my Friday evening weekend present to myself.

**Lionheart** · May 16th, 2013, 19:21

I wish that guy wasnt in the way so I could see the details on that beauty behind him.

**Dave Torkington** · May 17th, 2013, 05:00

Superb rendition of the Typhoon in my humble opinion :salute:

Looking forward to the update that will no doubt give her a 'spit and polish'...
