Looks pretty sweet!

I have dabbled with X-Plane but it never stuck. I just dont care for it.

If only someone would make the Tornado for DCS...

X-Trident has actually been working on the Tornado for X-Plane since 2012(!). It's only in October 2015, once they had finished work on their Agusta-Bell AB 412 helicopter project, that they are now fully focused on the Tornado.

A preview of their rebooted Tornado cockpit. Dated December 2015.

Here are four earlier, but equally impressive, Youtube videos of their work-in-progress on their Tornado for X-Plane10.

X-Plane10 and fantastic 3D shadows (2013)

Panavia Tornado Moving Map X-Plane10 (2012)

Mouth-watering stuff, if you ask me.

Here's a real Tornado moving map. Taken from a French documentary entitled "Le Panavia Tornado - Documentaire avion, aviation".

I need to upgrade my rig first. For that to happen I have to get approval from the Home Minister.
