Did I spot Tornadoes being test-flown?

I know Just Flight and Indiafoxtecho are both developing the Panavia Tornado for MSF and whilst flying between Land's End and John O'Groats I saw this:

Indiafoxtecho are developing the IDS version, so did I just spot a couple of them being tested or have a couple of users just changed a configuration file to make their F18/A320/C152s show as Tornadoes?🧐Obviously, even if I'd been close enough to see them, they would just have displayed as default aircraft so i'd have been none the wiser.

Makes you wonder why they test in multiplayer mode.  Unless they actually want to create a bit of intrigue. :smile:

I remember back in the early days of test flying the PMDG 747 for FSX ,one of my fellow real world 747 pilot testers flew it in breach of the NDA on vatsim where it promptly crashed. ! The PMDG management were not happy 🤣

The IndiaFoxTecho version is almost complete and potentially releasing next month so it's almost certain to be that.

If so, it's worked a little then!😄

 

I know nothing about developing aircraft - can you test fly 2 aircraft side-by-side offline? I'm just wondering if they were checking 2 different configurations and using the view from each plane to see how the other appears in flight. I suppose you could just use the default F18 to fly as a chase plane to view one model though.
