Tornado ECR/IDS Pack (Italian) V1.0 V1.0

***************** Italian Tornado ECR/IDS Pack for SF2 V1.0 ************************

This pack contains 4 Italian Tornado aircraft with all the sounds, effects and weapons etc necessary for use. Although initially based on Dave, AD and Sundowners Tornado GR1/GR4 pack (in which I was involved) this pack includes new models, converted SF1 skins and improved ini's over the original GR1/GR4 release. It has been tested in both a Full Merged Nov '11 and a single SF2:E Nov '11 game with no problems found (not tested in SF1).

OTHER INFO

-----------

Loadout Screen -

--------------

As per the Other Tornado German/GR1/GR4 packs most of the defensive pods & A-A missiles are combined in Weapons group 1 so please don't use the in-game loadout screen to change anything in Group 1.

Issues -

------

Just a limited weapons loadout for the AMI IDS '81, similar to the Luftwaffe setup, until the '04 Update which introduce much more variety.
