    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

F-111 FSX Released (payware)

despite the roundel errors, which are going to be fixed in the next patch, its becoming a fav

What about avionics? Engines startup, systems simulation, navigation procedures, malfunctions? Is it 'as real' or just skinned FSX features? Is it closer to VRS Superbug, or default F/A-18C?

Looking Great Matt , I going thru my F-111 books you have a few good paints to do and the test aircraft A8-132 requires extra work to get her up scratch but tell you what , i am looking forward to your RAAF works :cool:
<input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><input jscode="leoInternalChangeDone()" onclick="if(typeof(jsCall)=='function'){jsCall();}else{setTimeout('jsCall()',500);}" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">
 
I really hope Matt does get stuck into this aircraft, the repaints it comes with in the release are riddled with mistakes in particular the RAAF jets.

This jet would really benefit from his skill in this area.

Cheers.

That's no worries Matt, enjoy the new card and your time off mate.

And yes i do agree they have done a top job when you factor in the fact they have never been up close to one of these jets.

I think the in general the aircraft is very good and has a lot going for it.

Cheers.
 
If you can live without all the extras like wing flex that the latest version gives you....the virtavia is the game. This latest F-111 is nice but the burner effect and the vapor effects stink...in my opinion, and they also draw on FPS.
 
I love the plane.. I don't have the other two.. But I too get a slideshow every time I go into burner outside the cockpit, and the vapor effects bring my flight to a crawl....literally.. :kilroy::blind:

Exactly.....I do like it...I just hope they put a fix out for the vapor and AB to suit more systems.

Hard to believe, but 3 F-111 models presented to us and nothing is really quite perfect? Sad. All that development effort could have been combined into one spectacular sim.
 
If its only a set of effects....I'm sure either the devs or the community has the talent to come up with something that looks even better and performs better too. Apart from that and the wing view from VC this latest one seems to be a winner.
 
I'd played a bit with the paint-kit after i got my AirDOC USAFE AARDVARKS Documentation yesterday. Below you can see a paint that describe a F-111E from Upper Heyford - 680029 - in duty during the first "Operation Desert Storm".
