Tornado GR1
-
Hi all,
Delighted to receive the unexpected but most welcome update to the Tornado GR1 - the new PBR textures and cockpit lighting look superb!
I have, however, discovered a couple of minor issues in P3D v5.2 and wanted to check whether others are having the same problems before raising a ticket:
-
missing textures on the main gear and undercarriage bays. I've noticed this is only the case on certain repaints and is most likely down to the fact file 'GR1_tex_10_albedo.dds' (and possibly another file?) isn't present in all repaint folders or the master 'texture' folder.
There's also no glass elements on the wingtip nav lights or the upper and lower anti-collision lights. -
missing lights: In no particular order;
No anti-collision lights at all.
The wingtip nav lights (obstruction lights) are not visible at all unless the wings are fully swept back. And then there's no steady option, but rather they flash regardless of how the cockpit switch is set.
Nosewheel taxi light remains illuminated at all times regardless of cockpit switch setting.
No landing lights regardless of cockpit switch settings. -
The radar range/nav display switch in the front cockpit is functional but does not move.
Grateful for any feedback.
Cheers,
Geordie

And there is more...
With the exterior model, the PBR material setting for the windshield glass inside is opaque, should be translucent (texture gr1_tex21_albedo). BTW: The P3Dv5 Tornado F.3 also has this issue.
The canopy glass parts are missing from the IDS exterior model.
Sofar, I found the following shared PBR textures are missing:
GR1_TEX_10_ALBEDO.dds
GR1_TEX_12_ALBEDO.dds
GR1_TEX_16_ALBEDO.dds
GR1_TEX_17_ALBEDO.dds
GR1_TEX_18_ALBEDO.dds
GR1_TEX_19_ALBEDO.dds
GR1_TEX_20_ALBEDO.dds
GR1_TEX_21_ALBEDO.dds -
@henk-schuitemaker Thanks for your input Henk, that's most helpful. I've raised a ticket with JF so I'll keep you posted.
Cheers,

@geordie Thanks for raising a ticket. I found another glitch - the crew head animations are broken.

Hi chaps,
Thanks for the report. I fixed the majority of these on Friday. Just finishing up a couple more bits today and then an updated version will be released. -
This has now been updated. If you redownload and install you should have the latest version.
-
@rich is this a simple install over the top?
-
You can install over the top, but I’d highly recommend uninstalling first otherwise you’ll end up with multiple instances in the Add / Remove Programs list
-
@rich Thanks for the update, will try it out coming weekend.
Henk.
-
@rich has the new version been uploaded??? Is it stil v1.06
-
It has. It's still version 1.6 as nothing has changed other than to restore some files that were missing from the installer. You should see that the installer has a new name though.
