Apologies for referring to the developer as SC Designs during the video - this aircraft was developed by CJ Simulations ("CodenameJack" - the brother of SC Designs Scott Crawford and DC Designs Dean Crawford). I bought the Eurofighter and F-16 at the same time and mixed them up :) Worth noting (and holding my hands up) - I used to be somewhat aloof in comparing the military aircraft between MSFS and DCS in the past too. While talking to somebody recently, they reminded me that very few air force pilots ever fire a shot in anger - that most of their career is spent doing mock dogfights, or interdiction exercises. Anyway. Let's call this my redemption arc :)
That's the reason why I love watching your videos: you're not flying them like a lunatic. That's what people mean by 'professional' when they describe your channel.
100% with you - sometimes I want to fly a light A/C as close as possible to reality. Sometimes I just want some fun in a fast jet - that's where this (and DC SC etc) come in.
Hi Jonathan, Great Video Wow what a great aircraft I didn't think i would buy it as I thought it would be so hard to set up and fly. But its not. Thank you again Hopefully next video will be Nav and radios.
I actually just got the F-15 from DC Designs and watched your video. Nearly left you a bit of a nasty comment and thought better of it. 😅 Love to see the personal growth and introspection. This is much more enjoyable content!
About the battery, a normal start would be whilst attached to a GPU, so you don’t drain the battery. Nice video. Some of the cockpit is not quite right right but it’s close enough for fun. Also, I noticed on the fuel page that although you had a full load, the fwd wing tanks had no fuel - not sure why that was.
Great vid, MSFS scenery looks fantastic. I am sure it is as faithful a recreation as can be done, but the cockpit looks like a “mod” to me. The exterior model looks fantastic.
This is a very good model a very nice video too. lovely detail once m,y upgrade pc is up and running i`ll be getting this. Once again a very good video.
I bought mine from Simmarket but no weapons Zip file. If I add them to the Load sheet then they display in the cockpit but not externally. Any suggestions please?
Hi Jonathan, Yet again a great video and content, I went and brought it, Same question will you be doing a video on how to set up Radios as I would like to fly online and how to import or do flight plans. Fantastic work and thank you so much.
Love flying the Typhoon, had it for a while now and a great little review, could you please explain a little more about how to add the weapons from the Marketplace purchased version. Many thanks
The weapons are only available if you have the PC version. Within the aircraft installation directory there is a subfolder with the weapons in - unzip them, put them in the community folder, and start the simulator.
Downloading now. I know what you mean about landing at a military base and seeing Cessnas doing 600mph or even worse Hovering. Time to try and reenact some Eurofighter airshows. Cheers
Sometimes, if i have too many Multiplayer Nameplates around me, i just switch Servers in the upper right corner to maybe Northern Europe or US East Coast. Its faster then fumbling around in the deeper menu options. The ping only matters if you want to fly side by side with someone in formation.
Friend, very good video, could you help me by sharing your sensitivity of the joystick and the power lever, since I have the same one but I don't configure it well, I would appreciate it.
Hi Jonathan, Really struggling with adding the missiles? Could you elaborate more on how to get or where that zip file is? Cannot see it in the Community folder for the life of me? Maybe or short video explaining how to would be great. Thanks!
Don’t know about real world but the F35 is bigger fun than the Typhoon as is works really well with the STVOL features. Add to that the Queen Elizabeth carrier pack for some STOVL action.👍😜
I liked the review cheers.....I do like to see other people flying in videos though, seems like the price of fame means you should put up with a bit of formation flying ....but yeah, not all the time and not with idiots. Happy flying to you
I fly this for more than a half year in MSFS with friends. There is a problem with the simulation of the Fly By Wire still, that almost never let's you fly steady at the horizont. The Autotrim Gauge is not fast enough especcially after some hard maneuvering. It also switches off when the Gear comes down, and then you have to trim by hand. An awkward situation is also after takeoff when the system kicks in. Normally it starts to pitch up, so you need to add enough power to get through it without losing speed rapidly. Going over 25 degree when climbing starts your nose to pitch up when you don't work against it. All this makes this thing still unenjoyable for me. The CJ Rafale is much better in these regards. Anyways out of pride and because I love raw power, I tend to fly it a lot. Hunting Swiss Hornets till they ramm the Swiss Alps is something I could do day in and day out. They are patching it nearly every month so they aren't finished with it. I hope Heatblur finishes their Eurofighter for DCS World soon, but until that I cannot find a better Simulation of the Typhoon than CJ Simulations. I had hoped Dino Cattaneo makes a Eurofighter for MSFS, I had the FSX Version. Because his Tornado, F-35 and F-14 are amazing and almost flawless. But he has decades of Flight Sim Background and knows a lot of former and active Duty Pilots from Italy and other Countries who help to test his stuff. CJ's Typhoon is far from perfect, but they at least try their best and I love supporting that.
You should close your canopy before starting your engine. It's a sign for ground personel that you will start your engine and they can start to take distance with your aircraft
Hey Sir. So do you fly or have you been in the military? I was in the U.S Marines. So I am very familiar with these kind of aircraft. But not really foreign aircraft. I like your video on this aircraft.
@vlxxrd4866 but of course if you have more reliable data than the serving Typhoon pilot consulting on the project please contact us and prove a 3000hr pilot wrong
With reference to cresting a ridge upside down. Buccaneer crews use to do this whilst on Operation Red Flag at Nellis AFB. Interview with one of the crew confirming this. th-cam.com/video/2EwIwE7cjds/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3xpiTkJTIaps7HB6
Only reason people say stuff like that when it comes to Military aircraft, is DCS has fully dynamic campaign's where you have to fly in an appropriate way etc. Adn the jet, which is a multi-role fighter can't actually be used in MSFS sadly, I wish it was like back in the day with Microsoft Combat Flight simulator, it would be awesome. That's the only reason I dont purchase MSFS. At some point the Eurofighter will be released for DCS too, it's in the works but god knows how long that will take.
@@mikeserds2333 Servers like Grayflag are pretty Dynamic for me at least. BMS does have full Dynamic campaigns but feels like I'm flying above one of those child's play carpets, the world graphics are dated and it really shows, hopefully they get some more updates to that stuff
Seems a reasonable effort, flight model, not so sure, approaches were very amateur, especially 21:36 Sarajevo dive approach. FPV and E bracket seem to be in a world of their on on approach, you fly with the E bracket and forget the airspeed, same as many modern aircraft, all flown AoA on approach with the benefit of the E bracket, makes every approach straight forward as long as it’s stabilised.
Spoilers are designed to reduce lift and generally are found on the wing. Airbrakes are for creating drag which reduce speed. The Typhoon has a large airbrake and has no spoilers. Your video is very good otherwise but please use the correct terms for the aircraft.
2 Second Google gives me loads of real Typhoon cockpit pictures ... No excuse for not modelling the basic panels properly .... I'm not a FS Plane snob if it's fun I'm in but I want it to look as it should .... Why just not have a popout with these options ?
I do take issue with the type of comment that you mentioned that someone said to you when you was flying around in the tomahawk what’s the point? It’s a game/simulator it’s having fun re-creating what you want in your own world it serves no different content to the gameplay And all use simulator above just turned in your grave when I said game it’s exactly the same when flying around in example a typhoon and flying in a way which the aircraft would be flown different from an airbus A380 or Boeing it’s the same you’re having fun in an aircraft that you’ve chosen out of a menu Flying in a simulated world, but here’s another bombshell for all the gatekeepers. It’s not real you know it’s a game I know I’m in trouble I said game again I know simulator have fun makes no difference where in a 747 or a Hawk trainer and I think when you get some people in the comments that think they have the right to insinuate you shouldn’t be doing that and it’s only airliners only I think they’re missing the point
Possibly unfair to tar one brother with the negatives of another but the apparent ‘abandonware’ nature of DC Designs’ Concorde (which nowadays just doesn’t work) has put me off anything from these three.
I will admit - I bought with F-16 on a bit of a whim, and thought "why not do a video with it" - but then loaded it into the sim, and thought "there's no way I can share this".
Have you seen the landing gear shock absorbers? Especially the nose? It's a joke. It's as if it didn't even exist. Another thing, observe in 3rd person what happens to the rear landing gear right after touching the ground. It's as if it were already on the ground but visually it continues to float. Total joke.

yeah that landing sure was "professional"
"It's supposed to be fun. It's not supposed to be a job interview" well done for saying this 👏
Seeing this is getting me really pumped for Heatblur´s typhoon for DCS :D
I fly the CJ Typhoon all the time and love it. It’s got a pretty decent autopilot too.
100% with you - sometimes I want to fly a light A/C as close as possible to reality. Sometimes I just want some fun in a fast jet - that's where this (and DC SC etc) come in.
Happy to see this video! I love the CJ Typhoon. I prefer flying study level’s etc, but this doesn’t need to be!
Never mind the Typhoons... kudos for the scenery guys including the English Electric Lightning!

This is a very good model a very nice video too. lovely detail once m,y upgrade pc is up and running i`ll be getting this. Once again a very good video.
I highly doubt it. The flight model is generally absent as a concept in this module. This addon can fly endlessly even with thrusters on Idle.
Did not know about the zip file for weapons..
Thanks fella 👍
Thats actually a good idea to adapt for other developers of military aircrft for MSFS.
I bought mine from Simmarket but no weapons Zip file. If I add them to the Load sheet then they display in the cockpit but not externally. Any suggestions please?

@@jonbeckett Thanks, I originally purchased on Xbox through MP but I now play on PC, I'll try and locate the files on my drive
What a beautiful looking aircraft. Is it the best version of the typhoon? The airfield looks fantastic also. Slainte ❤️
I seen one of these at low level while climbing haystacks in the lake district, the noise was something else, we absolutely 💩 ourselves 🤣
Great video and an amazing aircraft! I don't suppose you have found out how to get the engines into shut off?

how do u get the coningsby scenery with other typhoons around ?
The stick has to be slightly turned left for the right palm accomodation
Great video as always, thanks! Looks like you have a keybind to show/hide multiplayer nameplates? How do I do this
Search the keyboard mapping for "labels"
Friend, very good video, could you help me by sharing your sensitivity of the joystick and the power lever, since I have the same one but I don't configure it well, I would appreciate it.
I leave everything on straight lines (remove any curves in the sensitivities)
Hi Jonathan,
Really struggling with adding the missiles? Could you elaborate more on how to get or where that zip file is? Cannot see it in the Community folder for the life of me? Maybe or short video explaining how to would be great. Thanks!
It's inside the aircraft folder. I bought it from the marketplace, so it's in the packages/onestore folder (inside the documents subfolder)
If you like this, I think you'll really like the Flying Iron aircraft. They are fantastic fun and can be quite a challenge.
Great video, thank you Jon. Do you have the link for the airport scenery? Thanks!

Thank you. I love this plane too and learned a few more things thanks to your video.

Sorry wrong thread 🤪
@@jonbeckett That is showing as unavailable now :(
How do you get the static aircraft and hangers at Coningsby? Is it an add on?
How do you engage and disengage the spoiler behind pilots head ?

This jet flys the best on my xbox s. 👍
hi, i have the typhoon on msfs but for some reason when i line up to land it always seems to crab any advice on settings thanks.
Nice
CJ simulations*
Good catch - I bought the F-16 at the same time, and mixed them up :)
I don’t understand. When I put weapon weight it never show up (I am new to this game)
SC Designs-F16, CJ Simulations Eurofighter Typhoon.
Good catch - I bought the F-16 at the same time, and mixed them up :)
@@jonbeckett No worries. It happens to me as well them being 3 different companies for all these planes.
You should close your canopy before starting your engine. It's a sign for ground personel that you will start your engine and they can start to take distance with your aircraft
Military air base, please?

@@jonbeckettthanks, it looks great.
Friendly framerate?
Hey Sir. So do you fly or have you been in the military? I was in the U.S Marines. So I am very familiar with these kind of aircraft. But not really foreign aircraft. I like your video on this aircraft.
Not a pilot, not in the military :)
@@jonbeckett Oh ok. Well thanks for the video. It was still cool
can you turn off the mirrors to help with framerate?
Not tried yet
I think the sim will simulate the weight but not the drag of the stores.
that is correct. flight models are based on clean configuration, weapons and stores do not change drag
Drag is added to the CJ model when stores are added
@@batterby7675 drag, or weight? because the aircraft has the same top speed in sim regardless of stores
@vlxxrd4866 not for me it doesn't. Latest update yet again corrected the CFD. You must have either an old version or using legacy flight mode
@vlxxrd4866 but of course if you have more reliable data than the serving Typhoon pilot consulting on the project please contact us and prove a 3000hr pilot wrong

That's interesting - I've seen a couple of videos of other pilots saying the opposite. Thanks for sharing.
Which airport is this ?
Rar file containing weapons Corrupted. Any chance of finding them online, somewhere?
Use 7 zip to extract it. Or re-download the aircraft.
@@jonbeckett Thank you. My Typhoon has Teeth, now.

Ive got DCS, the sim is far to complicated, all I can do is start up and take off ,such a shame it isn't simpler grat in VR, but cant play it.😢
DCS is a proper simulator though :) You would expect it to be complicated.
plenty of training missions. not that hard tbh
F35 is my favorite 🫡
There's another aircraft I've not looked at yet.
You do not start the engines through switches. After the APU you just need to set both throttles to idle. It’s not realistic
Bit late for this review?
New for me :)
@@jonbeckett Ah haha, you had me going for a lil while i thought we had a new Typhoon coming 🤣

I don't really bother with anything in MSFS that isn't a fast jet, other than helicopters & the odd WW2 plane.
Possibly unfair to tar one brother with the negatives of another but the apparent ‘abandonware’ nature of DC Designs’ Concorde (which nowadays just doesn’t work) has put me off anything from these three.
I will admit - I bought with F-16 on a bit of a whim, and thought "why not do a video with it" - but then loaded it into the sim, and thought "there's no way I can share this".
whats the point of having a fighter jet in msfs just to fly around .lol
Perhaps because most military pilots never fire a shot in anger during their entire career ?
you could ask as well why even fly msfs if no weapons on a boing 747
