2024 Summer Update
Christen Eagle II
Early in the year, work began on our older modules. We decided to start with the Christen Eagle as it’s the easiest.
The artist have remodeled the airframe from cowl to tail, that will be easier on the graphics card. Areas of significant improvement include the cowl shape & air intake louvers, fuselage panels, and tail section shape. The wings are ok, but will see slight improvements in the navigation lights’ sizes, and some access hatch details.
Other than the above mentioned, we are going to be releasing a one-piece canopy, along with a 3-blade prop CE2 variant. Following that, the aircraft will be modified into a full fledged CE1 with an IO-540 6 cylinder engine.
As of now, there is no information if there will be an update price, similar to Eagle Dynamics’ A-10C-II and Ka-50.
We are aware of a few annoying bugs, such as the floating numbers from the radio and fuel gauge. We do have open support tickets with Eagle Dynamics, and patiently wait until they can attend them.
F4U-1D Corsair
Work continues on the flight model and R-2800-8W engine performance. FM tables are being generated and modified as needed to match the performance and flight charts that we have on hand. Computational Fluid Dynamic data has also been generated to help with creating the tables. We’ll provide a more in-depth review when we are absolutely ready to show some comparing charts against the actual data.
We also decided to develop some extra items into the Corsair. The first, are tires with different treads that’ll be optional for livery artists via lua programming. It includes, Dunlop, Firestone, BF Goodrich and Good Year. Gun bays are currently under construction and almost finished.
Essex Class Carrier
We added more detail on the catapults, in which we hope we’ll have a working bridle system in the future. Elements of this system include the tensioners, bridle catch claws & cables, and the wood planks that help line up the aircraft (not placed yet).
We know there’ll be questions regarding this and other aspects of carrier operations. We just can’t simply answer them at this stage, but will make notice once we can.

Tornado 50th Anniversary
We are celebrating the Panavia Tornado’s first flight that took place on the 14th of August 1974.
The Tornado was specified in response to the need for a versatile, multi-role tactical fighter that could perform equally well in high speed low-level penetration, reconnaissance, air superiority, and air defence missions. The collaboration between Germany, Italy and the UK, formalized in the late 1960s, was very ambitious and aimed to pool expertise and resources to create an aircraft that would serve multiple NATO air forces and fulfill varied roles. The multinational team worked tirelessly, overcoming linguistic, technical, and bureaucratic barriers, driven by a shared vision of innovation and excellence.
On the 14th of August 1974, in Manching, Germany, the airfield roared to life with the sound of the Tornado taking to the skies for the first time. This marked the culmination of years of rigorous design and engineering efforts by three European nations: The United Kingdom, Germany, and Italy. The Panavia Tornado was destined to redefine modern warfare and aviation for decades.
The 50th anniversary of the Tornado's first flight was not just a celebration of a remarkable aircraft, but a commemoration of spirit, innovation, and resilience. It was a reminder that when nations come together with a shared vision, they can achieve extraordinary things.
Development Report
The last 18 months of work on the flight model has seen the inaccuracies of the transonic aerodynamics resolved. Aviastorm has worked on fully simulating the unique flight characteristics of all wingsweep positions. The module’s aerodynamic model is matched with a detailed recreation of the mighty RB-199 engines which also power the electrical and hydraulic systems. The team have also simulated the generator electrical loads and the hydraulic pressures required to move the flight control surfaces and other mechanical systems.
The modeling of the complex flight controls and Control And Stability Augmentation Systems (CSAS) is now the biggest task still remaining to ensure correct aircraft handling, ready for comprehensive flight testing. Accuracy is important to mimic the unique flight performance and characteristics of this complex variable geometry aircraft.
The 3D model is also nearing completion and we are delighted to share these work in progress screenshots of the “First flight” Livery. For more updates visit the Aviastorm discord.
