First look at the CJ Simulations Eurofighter Typhoon in Microsoft Flight Simulator

After buying the Typhoon primarily to make sure other aircraft appeared appropriately while flying other aircraft, I have been pleasantly surprised at just how good it actually is - and recorded this "first look". Yes, it's not study level, but it's great fun - and I think some of the community forget that sometimes. A huge thumbs up from me, and will be returning to it in the coming days and weeks.
Apologies for referring to the developer as SC Designs during the video - this aircraft was developed by CJ Simulations ("CodenameJack" - the brother of SC Designs Scott Crawford and DC Designs Dean Crawford). I bought the Eurofighter and F-16 at the same time and mixed them up :)

Apologies for referring to the developer as SC Designs during the video - this aircraft was developed by CJ Simulations ("CodenameJack" - the brother of SC Designs Scott Crawford and DC Designs Dean Crawford). I bought the Eurofighter and F-16 at the same time and mixed them up :) Worth noting (and holding my hands up) - I used to be somewhat aloof in comparing the military aircraft between MSFS and DCS in the past too. While talking to somebody recently, they reminded me that very few air force pilots ever fire a shot in anger - that most of their career is spent doing mock dogfights, or interdiction exercises. Anyway. Let's call this my redemption arc :)

@chrisoz4929 5 месяцев назад

About the battery, a normal start would be whilst attached to a GPU, so you don’t drain the battery. Nice video. Some of the cockpit is not quite right right but it’s close enough for fun. Also, I noticed on the fuel page that although you had a full load, the fwd wing tanks had no fuel - not sure why that was.

The weapons are only available if you have the PC version. Within the aircraft installation directory there is a subfolder with the weapons in - unzip them, put them in the community folder, and start the simulator.

@WanderfalkeAT 4 месяца назад

I fly this for more than a half year in MSFS with friends. There is a problem with the simulation of the Fly By Wire still, that almost never let's you fly steady at the horizont. The Autotrim Gauge is not fast enough especcially after some hard maneuvering. It also switches off when the Gear comes down, and then you have to trim by hand. An awkward situation is also after takeoff when the system kicks in. Normally it starts to pitch up, so you need to add enough power to get through it without losing speed rapidly. Going over 25 degree when climbing starts your nose to pitch up when you don't work against it. All this makes this thing still unenjoyable for me. The CJ Rafale is much better in these regards. Anyways out of pride and because I love raw power, I tend to fly it a lot. Hunting Swiss Hornets till they ramm the Swiss Alps is something I could do day in and day out. They are patching it nearly every month so they aren't finished with it. I hope Heatblur finishes their Eurofighter for DCS World soon, but until that I cannot find a better Simulation of the Typhoon than CJ Simulations. I had hoped Dino Cattaneo makes a Eurofighter for MSFS, I had the FSX Version. Because his Tornado, F-35 and F-14 are amazing and almost flawless. But he has decades of Flight Sim Background and knows a lot of former and active Duty Pilots from Italy and other Countries who help to test his stuff. CJ's Typhoon is far from perfect, but they at least try their best and I love supporting that.

@vlxxrd4866 5 месяцев назад

this is great, the flight model is just a bit weird like with their rest of their products. tons of fun, though

@pgm1673 4 месяца назад

Spoilers are designed to reduce lift and generally are found on the wing. Airbrakes are for creating drag which reduce speed. The Typhoon has a large airbrake and has no spoilers. Your video is very good otherwise but please use the correct terms for the aircraft.

@ronaldfreeman3244 5 месяцев назад

can you turn off the mirrors to help with framerate?

@jonbeckett 5 месяцев назад

@philipfoster7269 5 месяцев назад

I think the sim will simulate the weight but not the drag of the stores.

@vlxxrd4866 5 месяцев назад

that is correct. flight models are based on clean configuration, weapons and stores do not change drag

@batterby7675 5 месяцев назад

Drag is added to the CJ model when stores are added

@@batterby7675 drag, or weight? because the aircraft has the same top speed in sim regardless of stores

@NorthernGrim 4 месяца назад

Only reason people say stuff like that when it comes to Military aircraft, is DCS has fully dynamic campaign's where you have to fly in an appropriate way etc. Adn the jet, which is a multi-role fighter can't actually be used in MSFS sadly, I wish it was like back in the day with Microsoft Combat Flight simulator, it would be awesome. That's the only reason I dont purchase MSFS. At some point the Eurofighter will be released for DCS too, it's in the works but god knows how long that will take.

Seems a reasonable effort, flight model, not so sure, approaches were very amateur, especially 21:36 Sarajevo dive approach. FPV and E bracket seem to be in a world of their on on approach, you fly with the E bracket and forget the airspeed, same as many modern aircraft, all flown AoA on approach with the benefit of the E bracket, makes every approach straight forward as long as it’s stabilised.

I do take issue with the type of comment that you mentioned that someone said to you when you was flying around in the tomahawk what’s the point? It’s a game/simulator it’s having fun re-creating what you want in your own world it serves no different content to the gameplay And all use simulator above just turned in your grave when I said game it’s exactly the same when flying around in example a typhoon and flying in a way which the aircraft would be flown different from an airbus A380 or Boeing it’s the same you’re having fun in an aircraft that you’ve chosen out of a menu Flying in a simulated world, but here’s another bombshell for all the gatekeepers. It’s not real you know it’s a game I know I’m in trouble I said game again I know simulator have fun makes no difference where in a 747 or a Hawk trainer and I think when you get some people in the comments that think they have the right to insinuate you shouldn’t be doing that and it’s only airliners only I think they’re missing the point

Have you seen the landing gear shock absorbers? Especially the nose? It's a joke. It's as if it didn't even exist. Another thing, observe in 3rd person what happens to the rear landing gear right after touching the ground. It's as if it were already on the ground but visually it continues to float. Total joke.
