Time to introduce the new addition to the Tornado family. Or should i say, the only one. Due to mods getting updated and old stuff getting deleted, all of my tornado aircrafts broke. I was supposed to do a new post with all the Tornado aircrafts updated/improved, but as i said, all of them are broken, so that's not gonna happen. Improvements: So, presenting Tornado-6. A new and updated version of the Tornado 5 with higher speeds, more fuel, and less mods. Yes, in order to prevent a total loss of this craft, i made it from all stock part excluding the KAX engines. It still looks and feels like the old one, but has some big improvements: As i already mentioned, it has about 2.5 times more fuel. I also fixed 2 more minor issues as well: this time the propeller will not hit the ground on landings, and the aircraft wont run out of electricity during a long dive (i fixed it wit a bodge job on the old one). Wings are also more straight, so making wing mounted weapons (Vulcans and machineguns) point straight is a bit more easy. Faulty ejector seat's are now gone as well. In preparation of KerbPaint getting updated (maby), i made the aircraft from fully paintable parts (excluding the engine). EDIT: and here it is: http://imgur.com/a/Hz5B8 And yes, i'm a BIT in love with the aircraft now. This time i painted it in the style of the later Tornado aircrafts like the Tornado 2 from Sonic Adventure and the Tornado 3 from Sonic Unleashed. The new craft: The Tornado-6 like it's predecessor is an easy to fly 2-seat bi-plane aircraft with some amazing flight characteristics. And that has been made to look very modern and sleek, while still looking more or less like a traditional bi-plane. http://imgur.com/a/38FjN It is The handy work of our test pilot/engineering advisor Miles Kerman. Here are the specks for it: Top speed: 135 m/s Stall speed: 30-25 m/s Length: 10.3m Wingspan: 13m Height: 5.3m Mass: 11 tons Parts: 133 I did some work on the interior as well. Even tough we wont get to see it without using camera mods, it's still nice to have one. New features: Whenever there is a new update to KSP, i tend to update the Tornado with some new features. This time they include: ejector seats, a Kerbal loading system, and little safety wheels of sorts in the wingtips to help in those "that was a little too close" situations. Now you wont have to build little Kerbal buses just to load some Kerbals into the Tornado. And as you can see, due to mods being for the older release, all my flags (nebula decals) except the ZZZ ones where broken, also the KAX prop textures don't work. The engines still functions tough. I tested the ejector-seats three times. And im happy to say that 2/3 times they actually worked . That's pretty much all i have to say for the aircraft itself. It still holds the place as my all time favorite aircraft. Decals for Nebula decals mod: And since this is the Tornado, it needs proper decals, so here they are for those who are interested. In the fear of getting copyright strikes or other stuff like that, and because i taught it was finally time. I made my self my own decals/flags. So no more pulling stuff from the internet and turning them into decals. I made them using Photoshop, tough the outlines for the portrait of Tails where drawn by hand and scanned later on to use as an underlay ease things a bit. Mostly because this was the first time i've ever really drawn and colored something using a computer. And it was also the first time ever that i've done any sort of shadowing.
