Foo_Fighter: The F-111 is still being worked on as you'd understand an aicraft model such as this is complex!!
But suffice to say the Aircraft is being worked on in these areas:
1) DVC
2) Textures.
As i said in an earlier post, when i hear news i shall purt the news in the Simviation forums here!

planespotter

[Guruswarmyoz]

Firtstly i have not heard any extra news on the freeware F-111C.

Post content deleted by user as he got his opinion slightly wrong!!!!! lol

[foo_fighter]

Here is my policy..NO PAYWRE

its simple, simply and harmless, I won't buy any payware knowing that some guys are breaking their backs working hard in order to give us the best they can do!
I will always support freeware, and more! I will shout loud at all directions how good I may feel about it!
That's it!  ;D
Don't wanna to start a fight here (this is not me at all) but this is my policy and I'll stand for it, even knowing that some awesome payware are the most wanted a/c for me.....
I ll wait for the excelent F-111 that ausim is working on !
ok that's it!

cya!

[planespotter]

foo, I understand your policy, I too was young and foolish like you  ;D  J/K

If you always wait for something free to come along you will be missing out. This baby above will be due on next month. I've been emailing the designer, it's coming alone very nicely  :o

The last one is the unit I grew up watching!

[trevyuk2001]

These pics are looking nice...........any shots of any Lakenheath birds ready at all?

[Erez]

Just a small question on the real F/B-111. What A/C came before, the Aardvark or the Mig-23? they look very much the same ya know? in other words, is the Mig-23 is another russian cold war copy?

[Tequila Sunrise]

Nope, they are compleatly independant of each other.
The Mig 23 wasn't even a bomber though the Mig 27 was. All they really hav in comon is variable geometry, as do the F-14 and Tornado, it was kind of a big development i the 60's that died due to the added weight of the wingfold mechanism defeating its own purpose in some respects.

[wolf8218]

yes but think of all the money saved due to storage reasons, i mean look how many f14s can fit in a carrier

hey the grey and camoed ones you just posted, are they free or payware??

are they the ausisims??

[Blade]

I say the wing fold worked for the Tomcat, I think it was and is one of the worlds leading interceptors. It is the only aircraft in the US arsenal that can carry the Pheonix, with 100+ Mile range, it can take down other planes before they get a radar lock.

hey the grey and camoed ones you just posted, are they free or payware??

are they the ausisims??

These are Payware through Alpha Sims. Not sure of the price but the most they have been is $9 USD and you will get plenty of reskins.

Trev, no LN skins yet, I will post with any new updates.

[trevyuk2001]

Thx for the reply 'spotter.........I will look forward to them.
