    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.

Anyone still flying the F111? How good is it, has it improved from initial release?
I've been holding off waiting for a non-MP release but no sign of that happening and as it's cheap on the MP (until 1st August) I'm tempted...
Thanks
 
Haven't flown mine in a while. Not much movement on improvements that I have seen. The landing gear stance is pretty glaring. Maybe they will fix it in time.

I made mention of the gear as well. Doesn't droop enough when wheels off.
 
Thanks - I went ahead and bought it, I like it - will keep me going until at least the 727 arrives :)
The cockpit is great in VR and as I rarely go outside I'm not going to worry about the landing gear.

There is a weapons pack available now but I've not tried it yet, some say it's a little ponderous to fly but it feels right to me for a big aeroplane.
Cheers

I've posted a Landing Challenge for this aircraft at Upper Heyford (UK)

Still trying to get to grips with navigation...I can do the easy stuff - TACAN/VOR/NDB/ILS but would really like to use the Inertial Navigation in the same way I can with the SSW F104 and DC F4 and F15.
They can import either an MSFS flight-plan for DC or a custom file for SSW and present steering queues, for you to fly stepping automatically from waypoint to waypoint as you progress manually along the route.
The autopilot can fly a flight-plan but without TFR I'm not interested in AP much...

There are the drop-down Frequency cards for VOR/TACAN/ILS which offer a quick setup, and are supposedly modifiable to allow route creation but I've not been able to achieve editting...

Has anyone been able to use the Inertial Nav or change the frequency cards? Nothing in the manual that I can see?
