The Eurofighter Typhoon is a twin-engine, canard-delta wing, multirole fighter.The Typhoon was designed by a consortium of three companies, EADS, Alenia Aeronautica and BAE Systems, working through a holding company, Eurofighter GmbH, which was formed in 1986. It was initially introduced into service in 2003.

What we have here is a fair representation of the Eurofighter 2000. Not much of the systems are simulated and it’s pretty much a load and fly kind of plane. That’s what I expected and why I bought it. Sometimes ya just want to strap on a fast plane and go for a ride.
Everything does look very nice including the lighting but just be prepared for a pretty dumbed down version of it. I wish there was a light interceptor weapons load option but no.
What stops me from giving 5 stars is that FFS did a terrible job with the speed capabilities. All variants can barely do Mach 1.
That’s just plain wrong. It’s known for being a very fast accelerating fighter to perform quick intercepts. However regardless of load or no load and at any altitude these all top out at a little over Mach 1.08. This requires manually adjusting the thrust scaler in each aircraft .cfg file to around 2.0 from the default 1.0 Which is not terribly accurate generally, but you can at least make the Eurofighter as fast as it should be in the air. Problem is it also will increase idle thrust so taxiing requires more breaking. Why can’t developers just correctly build a planes speed capabilities from the start? It’s very annoying to buy a Mach 2 aircraft that can barely perform at %50 known specs. Just put in the extra work with coding the drag variables with engine thrust performance etc etc. whatever they know how. You get what you pay for.
Leider nicht die Flugtauglichkeit gegeben, da ein Richtungswechesel via Querruder unmöglich ist. Fliegt dann weiter geradeaus. Dies ist ein " must to have ".
Speed nicht korrekt. Im HUD stimmt die Geschwindigkeitsanzeige nicht. Und leider einiges noch mehr nicht Okay.
27,- Euro umsonst ausgegeben.
