We have been work on new features for our aircraft and they include, but are not limited to;

*Bug fixes
*New warning lights
*Window start menu (for documentation and configurator)
*Vortices that follow wing sweep with real dynamic model
*Command slew switches animated
*SP2 & Acceleration configs
*Flare effect fixed
*3 new textures: NASA, AFTI, and TACT
*Working TFR E scope


"I was fortunate to be among the group that took the first six production F111s to Thailand in 1968 and even though we had our problems, we did major damage with this fantastic aircraft. You seem to be as passionate about the F-111 as I, so you can imagine how elated I was to see a realistic TFR in action."

3 new textures






Waning and Caution light test

Right on, Steve. Keep it up 8-) 8-)

Looks awesome, thank you!

All the instruments now all shut down when power is removed from the aircraft. Failures also shut down failed instrument. Any instrument the fails or has power removed freezes in position.

Lamp test works inflight now, more warning lamps added.

Some things you will not see but feel include 3 seperate air data computers for instruments, autopilot and TF.

We now can AIR REFUEL from an AI Tanker!

I forgot to mention there are now over 80 effects

Can we get a general release time (next month, year, decade, etc?) I just want to know so I don't get a heart attack from excitement!

We are aiming for March/April to release the newest version.

Looking forward to this!

The first version uploaded to Simviation has over 10,000 downloads. 
Thank You

Just a progress report.

Some bug fixes
Texture updates and fixes
Wing root vapor effect
VC textures updated for a better 3D look

Excellent! 8-)

Can't wait!

Sorry to keep updating this topic, but I am just so pleased with the progress we are making.

In addition to continuing to improve the cockpit and external textures, gauge improvements etc, the next major release will have a really neat feature.

A Configurator.
It will set the aircraft to be optimized for SP2 or Acceleration.
This will allow you to fly the F-111 specific to each model, E, F, G, FB, YFB, or TFX(A)
You select the F-111 aircraft you want to fly, the type of engines available to that model, and a few other options like a Hot or Dark cockpit. It will automatically set the payload, ballast weight and fuel load for with drop tanks, bombs, or clean and then switch you to the selected F-111 aircraft if you are in different F-111.
If you are in a flight plan and want to change to a different F-111, you will change to that aircraft and resume your flight plan.
If you start an F-111 from the FSX aircraft menu that is not the same as the configuration, you will get a warning message telling you of the mis-match. You then can select the correct aircraft, reconfig for your current aircraft, or just go ahead and fly. Of course if you just want to fly and not worry about Model Specific performance, there is a generic default setting.
This program runs external to FSX
