Tornado package help request

[Wingman_17 0]

I tried one of the two Tornado package I found, with the WOV. A package has GR(MK)1 and IDS models and the second package has one more, the GRMK3.First package (with two planes) works fine.The second crashes with error in graphicsengine.dll. I'm stuck.Can anyone help? What am I missing?

Applying these settings to your flightengine.ini should correct the problem

Any idea?

I would take that older Tornado package an dump it. It is full of bugs and crashes all the time. The guy who did it was old about the issue but didn't make an attempt to fix it. Even with the above fix it still crashes on a regular basis.

Oh, thanks man for advice.It's a shame but I will dump it...I have the other package with a GR1, a ECR and a IDS.I was just curious to see a GRMK3, that's all.Thank you.

Don't you mean an F.3?

 

Either way I would like to see an updated F.3 Tornado.

There was talk about an F.3 version of the ArmourDave's tornado in the future. That's not for definite however.
