The VEAO Team are very pleased to announce the release of our Eurofighter Typhoon mod for Flaming Cliffs 2.0

After extensive testing of the beta mod and some tweaks to the 3D model, graphics and most importantly the flight model, the mod is ready for release to the public.

You can get the mod here:
http://www.veao.eu/mods/fc2/VEAO_Typhoon_FC2_v2.0.zip

Or alternatively on Lockonfiles and ED File Exchange.

If you have any issues or problems with the mod, please post them in our forums at www.veao.eu

Our special thanks go to Crow and Rattler for the hard work, dedication and working late most nights to bring you this mod.

New Features are:
Eurofighter Typhoon flight model
Eurofighter Typhoon canon
Eurofighter Typhoon fuel tanks
Detailed cockpit
Detailed damage model
Detailed animations for canards, slats and usual flight controls
Refuel boom animation, however due to restrictions we cannot refuel mid air at the moment.
New pilot texture
Enhanced animations for the front air intakes
Enhanced skins for 4 RAF squadrons
Enhanced F2 view cockpit
Enhanced FLIR external model
Plus some extras

For canard animation when landing, press wheel brake and push forward on the stick.
The flap key will control the front and rear slats. The rear slats move upwards and this is a standard feature of the Typhoon.

Future features to come:
Enhanced Air-to-air weapons
Air-to-ground weapons
Other Typhoon user countries skins pack

Again if you have any issues with the mod, please post them in our forums at www.veao.eu and enjoy our mod.

Nothing in this mod shows a flight model change, just curious if that was left out of this version? It's shown in your release notes.

Hey SilentEagle,

There are changes to the flight model within the mod to make it more Typhoon and less F-15, yes.

To the point we were testing up to 65,000ft yesterday.

So is this thing a frame killer? I noticed in your video you were not getting very good frames while looking around at the exterior model.

No not a frame killer bud, just my laptop trying to record using full Fraps.

Should be fine on normal PC's.
