Iris Freeware Tornado GR4

[Paolo_R]

Just downloaded this from the Simviation Library. Apart from a ref. and check.htm, the flight manual gives no info on how to operate this aircraft, particularly the variable geometry wings.

Is there any detailed operation manual available?

I realise this is a product no longer supported.

TIA

Hi Paolo, and welcome to SimV!

Not sure about a manual, but if memory serves, the wing position is set by the flaps. (I think)

if it's anything like the Just Flight Tornados, it will be by the flaps control.

You'll not see flaps/slats until wings are fully forward.

Try landing with wings swept fully back.

Guys: thanks for that. Yes, it is the flaps function - works perfectly.

Hey man you must not be familiar with swept wing aircraft. Have you got the Dino Cattaneo F14 tomcat? If not get it its the sweetest bird on the sims  its my best plane on my sim check her out man.

I may be missing something here but my Iris Tornado GR4 sweeps it's wings with the undercarriage control!

These worked for me:

F5 Flaps Up
F8 Flaps Down
F7 Flaps increment
F6 Flaps decrement

Turns out I've been flying the AI version included in the download
As you quite rightly say Paolo, the flap control operate the wing sweep.
Going back to the funny farm.

Don't feel bad, Zaph. I was scratching my head for days after I installed it, before I realized that I too, was flying the AI model.
