Mind... BLOWN! Introducing the Indiafoxtecho Tornado | Ex-Tornado Pilot's First Look (MSFS) 

Such a privilege to have an ex fast jet pilot make videos like this.

The Panavia Tornado is a family of twin-engine, variable-wing, multi-role combat aircraft jointly developed and manufactured by Italy, the UK and Germany. The audio commentary in this MSFS preview is very in-depth and full of passion. You can feel the passion. A friend of mine flew this thing for the German Air Force. He was one of the youngest Tornado pilots in Germany and was stationed at Nörvenich AFB. I'll never forget our first solo flight in an ASK 13 when we were teenagers.

Love the navigation technique. "Let's go west, that's where Wales is"

I can’t wait for this, was a sad day when the Tornado retired, such an amazing plane! This is how you make a fast jet in the sim, IFE never disappoint

Chris, the community is indeed privileged to have someone of your background and experience who takes the time to share all that in reviewing aircraft. It makes it so real and provides a seriously real insight to the bird. Well done and thank you.

Instant buy for me personally on all IndiaFoxTecho and they raised the bar again from their other jets. Can't wait to fly her in VR. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you RU-vid. I used to work at BAe Warton as a Weight Engineer for about half my time there (started in 89, left in 98). The fun part of the job was checking the cg and weight of actual Tonkas when they were towed on to the weighbridge Warton had ( 3 hangar). Many good times!! We also had to prepare loadsheets for different configs (remember to use the fin fuel before takeoff!). The loadsheets became more time sensitive and important when the Gulf War was on. A beautiful beast of an aeroplane! 13.5 tonnes empty or so, built like a brick outhouse! If a Tornado didn't set off several car alarms on takeoff then it was a tad disappointing. I fondly remember playing Digital Integration's Tornado on my 486 pc back then. Sadly I've forgotten more than I know these days! Happy flight swimming, Chris.

This is absolutely bloody awesome! Love this fighter and the fact we have an Ex Tornado pilot taking us through this, you love to see it! Keep it up!

How you don’t have more subscribers is astounding. I’ve been watching your content for a few years now, your knowledge is absolutely fascinating. Hope you have fun flying down memory lane!!

It brings me so much joy to see and hear you re-experiencing this!

Most beautiful plane in the world. Followed by the F14. Can't wait for the release. Served in a Tornado Squad in Germany, so this is a must have for me. Thanks for showing.

Thank you for this. I missed out on a back seat trip when I left 617 as an engineer to return to Nimrod. Looking forward to this release, might go some way to making up for missing the real thing.

Back in the day my family lived on the edge of a low flying area in the Midlands, and we'd see Tornados, Jaguars, Phantoms, and even the occasional F-111, going over super low and super fast, an amazing sight, so to see this so well represented in the sim is just fantastic and gives us all the chance to experience what it must have been for you guys as pilots. Amazing stuff, 10 out of 10 from me!

I've been so looking forward to this aircraft, what a lunchtime treat to see you take the development model out for a spin. Already on my to buy list and can't wait to see more content from you on this Chris, and learn a bit more about the magnificent Tonka

Brilliant to watch, really enjoyed the enthusiasm and listening to your memories being conjured during the flight - great stuff👍🏼

Thanks for the preview chap! I'm very excited by this, having grown up with Tornados (we're almost exactly the same age!) and I still say that Tonka ripping past at 200ft with burner on, wings full back, is absolutely one of my favourite things!! 🤩

That is insanely awesome! I swear IFE never disappoints, and you just make her sing! Outstanding!!

Knowing how much you've been looking forward to the Tornado, it's a joy to watch you enjoy it as you do. Plus, to me personally, it acts like a "seal of approval" of sorts,which shows me that IFT have, yet again, created a amazing product, and that it won't be a waste of money (not that I thought that it would be, because.... Well, it's IFT!!! 'Nuf said!!!!). ;D

It was a treat to hear your enthusiasm Chris 😊 Really enjoy all your videos, very pleased you are back. Always very educational and entertaining

So cool to have a real Ex Tornado Pilot pre - presenting this ! like your happy and excited attitude in the whole vid - and it looks just brilliant !

Yes! Been looking forward to this one.

Takes me back to my days flying Digital Integration's Tornado game

Your videos are seriously awesome. Thank you for the consistent, high-quality content, man. Keep it up ✈️🤙

I can’t wait for this! I loved the Tornado so much I joined up and spend many years on both variants as Groundcrew and was fortunate to have 2 jollies in the back seat.

Love your enthusiasm, especially when it comes to the Tonka! Super jealous you have a pre-release and the fact that you've flown them!! Thanks for the review Chris! :D - Ross

That's a hell of on introduction!! Glad to see you re-living past experiences for us, the many.

Really enjoyed watching and hearing your enthusiasm and enjoyment for your old steed!

Great video! Thanks for sharing the first moving pictures of this beauty.

What an absolute joy to watch this and listen to you share your experience from flying the real thing. Thank you

So good! Cannot wait for this. What made this video is just the pure evident enjoyment in your voice! Fantastic

Ah this was class mate excellent first look and can really get a sense of your enjoyment during the video - plenty of "look at that" - I love it!

Great video CG. I used to spend my days fixing the HUD, CRPMD, PMD and INU at Honington and was also responsible as part of the mod team for the AP slave on the top of the instrument panel. Nice to see it all working 👍

I was once fortunate to have a shot in the F3 sim at Leuchars back in the day. Very much looking forward to this in VR once it's out. Great vid!

excellent vid and you obviously went back in time! Cheers for sharing once again

Your enthusiasm for this product means I will purchase it! Really glad it brings back the memories for you. Great video

Fabulous aircraft and a great demonstration. Thank you for the heads up on this 👍

absolute joy to hear you light up as you fly this. Such a good video.

Flies really good landing can be tricky but thats what is so good about this jet, it feels real.Your video is really helpful.Thank you.

Such a great video, really good to have your background with it. We need a tornado series, emergency work. Normal pattern work, things you learnt! Would be great. 👍

Already got a dozen paint jobs in mind, great preview thanks. Very excited for this btw.

Hahaha! So far, every time I've hoped into the Tornado, I fly from Valley Anglesey and through the Mach loop. Fantastic video and thanks a whole bunch for sharing. The Tornado is my all time favorite military aircraft. So glad this released on MSFS. Now lets hope they release for DCS in the near future.

Your enthusiasm is contagious! Thanks for sharing!

Brilliant mate … watched loads of your videos … very much looking forward to this thank you

This is one cool presentation. Especially when there is a real tornado pilot sharing his experience at the same time. Hope to see more!

Great to have a professional commentary. As well as the stunning aeroplanes the scenery still amazes me.

Beautiful aircraft! Always cool to see you in the mach loop.

Brilliant top guy thanks for that was so refreshing watching an ex Tornado pilot doing the Mach loop with such full of enthusiasm. Aircraft looks awesome great review can't wait to purchase 👌

For having played Digital Integration Tornado on an Amiga in the 90's, this is a WOW experience! Great clip and solid development! Thanks!

That sounded like you feel right at home. Impressive to take this ride along somebody who actually flew these!

Flying over my beloved home, Anglesey. Great flight, liked and subbed

Superb that’s for sharing . I’ll need to try the airshow assist with the hawk also 😊 Regards Dave from Scotland

Lovely video, it was amazing watching this video, especially those tricky twists, and turns.

Fantastic vlog, thank you for your time and effort. As always you make it look so easy 😊. You are a natural, you can fly all your aircraft blind folded with one hand behind your back. Something, I cannot do even after hours off trying 😮😢😊. But still have fun and boost my morale by watching an expert like you doing it as one with the aircraft 😮😊.

Nice! This is a very special aircraft for me personally and i am looking forward to the eventual DCS version...but you won't be able to fly across good old blighty in it, over the lakes, valleys and highlands! This will be a must buy for me, thanks for the preview 👌🇬🇧

Splendid! Thank you for sharing your experience!!

Absolutely fantastic sir! What a treat to see two Tonkas back in the loop!

Just brilliant, on the shopping list . Thanks so much for your top-class content

So I can see what you mean about the “pre-release” state but the potential of this mod is staggering! I really look forward to the completed release. Thanks for sharing :)

Definitely was anticipating seeing your thoughts on this. Glad to see it in action

Loved it heading down from Manchester to the loop next week ❤👏👏👏👏 .

You sounded so happy. Can’t wait for its release. Really wish I’d spent longer at Lossiemouth photographing them. Don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone eh.

Awesome, really enjoyed that & looking forward to watching more in the future. Was having a pretty S**t day but thats totally turned it around, Thanks.

Hi, I just wanted to mention that there's an absolutely awesome Combat flight sim out there in the form of DCS! (im pretty sure youre aware of DCS, but just in case), Its always nice to have real Pilots in the community!

Great news and super Video! I flew the Tornado and can‘t wait to get my hands on it. Thanks for the preview!

Absolutely amazing. Looks incredible!

Briljant firdt review and what a smooth Machloop run, thanks for sharing. Will buy the Tornado from day one, great fighter.

Awesome video, brilliant product placement as im 1000% buying this when its released because of your vid 😊

From your reaction it seems IFE are doing well with this one. Per their usual work in MSFS (and DCS!!) it looks GREAT! Glad to see they've got some "heft" built into the flight model. Hopefully they spend a LOT of time on the FM :) Other than some time in the old X-Trident Tornado for X-Plane, I've got very little experience with Tornado. But it's a fascinating aircraft that's VERY fun & challenging to operate. So many advanced systems, yet still very "steam gauge" in so many ways. Combine all that with not only Mach 2 top speed, but also thrust reverse for ridiculously short landings and we have what just might be one of the most satisfying aircraft to operate in a flight sim. PLEASE do more flights with it - your running commentary based on IRL experience makes your vids so enjoyable! :)

You didn’t disappoint! Definitely an excellent video.

Wow, great video. Way back in the stoneage I had a flight sim called ‘Tornado’. It was brilliant. The flight planning was amazing & pyramids for hills! Loft bombing was a blast. Flatten an airfield, 200ft, full ahead both, get the hell outa there! All on auto-pilot. Looks like I will have to buy a full Gucci computer & wait for the Tornado to appear on DCS.

Absolutely Brilliant 😊 thank you, it will be on the wishlist to get.

Amazing presentation as always Sir! 😊

Love your videos, lucky to be able to have such simulators nowadays!

Loved watching these as a kid on my holidays in Wales.

As a local who was lucky enough to grow up with Marham Tornados passing at treetop height over my house this release has been the holy grail for me when it comes to MSFS releases. It's looking absolutely amazing, very much hyped for this release.

Stunning, well worth the wait for sure, on my wish list.

Stunning. Looking forward to more on this. No better person in the World to do a proper review.

Thanks for the information on Airshow Assistant. I didn't know its a free new add-on, I was thinking its the P42// add-on, so very much appreciat. Dylan

I can't wait! Probably my favourite fast jet. It's beautiful, ift have done such a good job. I'll always remember the awe seeing these at airshows in the UK. I wish they kept the demo team going or a few airworthy ones for airshows.

Great video! Sounds like you were enjoying yourself a lot haha! Couple points: Performance doesn't look great, looks heavy on frames as your scenery wasn't passing by smooth at all. Engine sounds I hope will be updated, I know its WIP but that will let the whole thing down if left as is, as it sounds bad externally. Hope we get those cool flashing Nav lights too in the final release.

This is magnificent. I had no idea they were making it! Thanks for the video. Now if they can just quickly knock out a Jaguar and Harrier, my life will be complete. Oh and the English Electric Lightning F.3

as a kid in the 80s, when I got a Luftwaffe poster and a small model kit of the Tornado, I truly fell in love with that machine. I´m certainly a bit sad that its lifetime comes to an end, but the sands of time won´t stop... no matter how much we´re begging them :) So yeah, I´m greatful for mods like this, they´ll keep things "alive" that might soon only be visible in a handful of museums. Will certainly get my hands on this machine. Will be a nice companion for my Typhoon :)

Sitting on a train into Brisbane city to yet another doctors appointment and the other pax must be looking and wondering why I had a smile from ear to ear and went “wow!” as you dropped in over lake Bala. I miss Wales so much having spent 13 years visiting The Loop and having had the pleasure to fly around it with 19 Sqn as visiting aircrew. That turn just north of Mach and up the Dovey Valley is tricky as you say and not one photographers get to see or the ridge crossing south of Corris. I have a video my wife shot from Bluebell of pair of GR4’s ripping around the bend from Dinas Mawddwy and blooming with vapour and you can actually see them ‘skidding’/drifting through the air as the lined up for The Bwlch and the Loop Exit. As you say , memories . Can’t wait for this. Being a now disabled veteran MSFS is my only outlet really and the Tornado will really and truly give me a happy place to go when I’m feeling sorry for myself . 🤙🏻

Holy smokes - pretty much a must buy for me... I must be living under a rock, as I didn't know about the Airshow Assistant add on - guess I'll be buying that as well.

Brilliant, so many cool jets coming into the sim!

One of my dreams is complete, no it's not, it is wildly surpassed. Thank you for demonstrating this diamond - it is out now and I will purchase it tomorrow.

Used to watch the 15Sqn aircraft starting up on the line at Lossie and smelling the avtur fumes in the air phot cabin.

Looks amazing. I wish we had a Tornado in DCS. I have flown a GR1 twin sticker from the back seat back in 93.

Was thinking of a reason to get back into MSFS and you've just given me it!

Fantastic sir I loved these I used to be based at lossie and when cooking omelettes at 15 sqn feeder the place used to shake lol the noice and smell of avtur I miss

Awesome👍Pretty cool aircraft. Nice video. Thx. I hope,we can by this after easter😊

Ah wow this is amazing, must have been amazing to have been an actual fighter pilot, was my childhood dream but never had the balls to follow through with it 😂😂😂 The Tonka looks absolutely amazing, what a machine 👍

Oh man! Just can't wait for this! The Tornado from IFE, that is a dream come true.

Outstanding model, Dino and his Team is absolutely a warranty of the highest quality in the flight sim developers community!!! 🥇

I am so excited for this All of IFT line up From this and the skyhawk all the way to thr F16 thingy They all seem so amazing!!!!

I'm always impressed with how many things you can look at and buttons you can press without crashing. Sometimes I just glance down for a moment and I've climbed a few thousand feet. 😮 In my defense I was an accountant not a fast jet pilot.

The mixture of instructional patter and Brit ad-libing is excellent 👍

Great video, I want this stunning piece of machinery now it’s my 2nd favourite fighter jet

Awesome video of my favourite plane!

Tornado is my number one most anticipated aircraft will definitely be picking this as well as the just flight version
