February 9Feb 9 Lost my mum 3 years ago today so feeling a bit down have decided to treat myself to some heavy metal so which one ? Typhoon ( which one ? ) Tornado Jaguar Vulcan Whadda you think ?
February 9Feb 9 Jaguar !! Flies and feels so smooth, in addition to fantastic modelling. Vulcan is also impressive, but is a very complex sim.
February 9Feb 9 You get the most aircraft for your money with the Vulcan, although it’s often on sale if you wanted to get even better value. The tornado I find a boring aircraft personally for some reason and you have to mess about with sweeping wings. The Typhoon would have to be the new IFE version. Jaguar ,I’ve been meaning to try this one, I hear good things about it. In the meantime go and grab a free 24 hour trial of the blackbird T38A while you make your mind up, you may end up just keeping the T38 it’s very nice. 787 captain.

February 9Feb 9 I enjoy the Tornado, the Vulcan is also well done and a good deal as mentioned. Jaguar is on my future purchase list.

February 9Feb 9 I'm really enjoying the Aero Dynamics T-38 Talon. Comes with both A (steam gauge) and C (glass) versions.

February 9Feb 9 I prefer Justflight’s Bae Hawk T1/A. It’s a two-seat trainer jet, has quite some system modeled and flies wonderfully.

February 9Feb 9 Jaguar...best cockpit, challenging FM and best weapons (not Falcon or DCS but bombing is done well). ...

February 9Feb 9 Author Have the F14 in DCS and already have the Hawk good suggestions. Ok so between the Jag and Tornado … Love the Jag but I really fancy flying simulated low level missions using that new freeware Terrain Following Radar app…. I’ll watch a few more vids …

Not so good when it comes to flight physics. in re Tornado, I’m (still) holding out for Just Flight’s version. Since you seem partial to UK jets, wait for the next big sale and grab the JF Hawk. This past Christmas it was down to US$30. Regardless of its status as an (armed) trainer and light attack jet, it has been one of my perennial favorites across 3 different sims. and the latest v2 version in MSFS is - by far - the best yet. JF did a great job on the flight model 👍 If you ever want to try a foreign jet, the TMS YF-23 is presently my favorite overall. It’s their best work yet - much more enjoyable than their F-22.
February 9Feb 9 Author Have the Hawk its a cracker..... Ok then Jag it is ! I'll wait for the JF Tonker. Thanks for taking part all !
