Frankie:
Please report any Tornado mod bugs here. If it bugs you that the bug is bugging you to bug me to squash the bug, then post your bug description here. It might bug me enough to spend some time to re-code the code to get rid of the irritation that's bugging you and me.

I tried out Mod #131 and #132, Auto Thrust Reverser. That's a great feature and I love the little switch just like in the real Tornado! One issue with it though; when activated the Air-brake doesn't work anymore, but maybe that's hard to avoid as it is the same key?

Some other things I found and some suggestions:
About #157. Floating Route (Way) Plan Display - This works fine in F1 view, but in Full HUD / FLIR view it also appears but no waypoints are seen? Only the headings/distance numbers around it. The best would be to not show it direcly as well, and only be able to toggle it on with ] key.
Also about the Full screen HUD / FLIR view. Currently in Pilot cockpit it is toggled with Shift-D which is great. But it also is part of the cycling when pressing D. Maybe it should only be available with Shift-D and the D only cycles the actual MFD screen as it does in Navigator cockpit? Would make more sense as you sometimes cycle to far when going to the ILS screen and then suddenly you are in full HUD screen.
Same would be for then Navigator cockpit where the ] key cycles the TAB, maybe it shouldn't go through the Full FLIR screen and TIALD screen, but instead only do that through the Shift-D key to make it consistent.
Only suggestions of course but something you notice while flying a lot!
Thanks,
Clark

Good news #1.
Now the Route Plan's statistics no longer show up in the Shift+D full-screen FLIR Pilot View. I got rid off the headings/distance numbers around it.
Good news #2.
You can toggle the Route Plan Display ON and OFF when in SCR=01, 02 and 03 with F1 followed by Alt+9. I tried to get the Route Plan Display to show in the full screen FLIR (Shift+D) but not successful.
Good news #3.
I've found more Cooliehat code in Tornado. I've taken another stab at the code, and this time, I've adjusted some code related to the Cooliehat Down. Should solve the problem of the 'ghost wings'. See if there is any difference now with your joystick coolie hat.

Now some not so good news
No can do for now. I'm afraid that the code is so convoluted and complicated (my doing!) that I can't even hide the full-screen FLIR and TIALD screens when the user cycles forwards (with ']' or backwards with '['. I will have to re-write the entire TAB.ASM code, using the original 1993 code as a baseline. I tried, failed. ;-0

P.S. are you still facing the mouse issues?
Attached is the 'less-bugs' FLIGHT.EXE as of 23 Nov 2019.

Hello,
Thanks for the fixes! Some of it work, some didn't :)
#1 - Yes the route now doesn't show up on the Shift-D full screen. But the artificial horizon does which it didn't before :).
#3 - The wings still appear if you push Hat Up (same as Home), but not when first doing Hat Down (Pg Up), so something changed.
#4 - Now the additional information in the route TAB view is gone, it only shows the route in the Nav TAB, not the headings, time etc. So you probably removed it both from the full screen and the TAB somehow.
No worries about the "not so good news", it was just a suggestion.
And mouse issue still remains unfortunately.
Cheers,
Clark
