The Panavia Tornado Air Defence Variant (ADV) is a long-range, twin-engine swing-wing interceptor aircraft developed by the European Panavia Aircraft GmbH consortium. It was a specialised derivative of the multirole Panavia Tornado and it was equipped with a powerful radar and beyond-visual-range missiles. Having been based on the multinational Tornado IDS, development was relatively quick. It was operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF), Italian Air Force (AMI) and the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF).
Main features:
-AI.24 Foxhunter radar, range similar to the N-001 of the Su-27.
-Weapons: AIM-9M/P/P5 and AIM-132 for close range,
Skyflash (similar to the AIM-7M), AIM-120B/C for beyond visual range.
-High resolution liveries for the UK, Italy and Saudi Arabia.
-It has a data link that shares positions of targets, simulated
with the Su-27's data link in the cockpit.
-Flyable in the Su-27 cockpit with English labels and grey frame.
Requirements:
-FC3 or Su-27 module for the user to fly it.
-Gripen community mod for the AIM-132 ASRAAM ->

Known flaws and differences from a real Tornado ADV:
-Outer wing pylons should be located attached to the fuel pylons on the other side compared
to the inner sidewinder/asraam pylons, but it is left as it is due to the model limitations.
Installation:
-Put the "Tornado_F3_ADV" folder into "SavedGames/DCS/Mods/aircraft" directory.
