by **Ian Warren** » Sat Mar 17, 2012 10:38 am

Its good , at $40NZ very reasonable , found no load wing flex on takeoff but jury still out on that.. still require looks and a good play later tonight .

Jeez ... long time coming - their is now a patch 1.1 ... hells only had five minutes

... I do hope they are going to look at the external textures , times like this you wish you photoed the entire aircraft step by step , oh well , might be able to find a good link or maybe a museum trip is required .... come to think why don't we have a F111 for the museum , Kiwis flew em .. they displayed in NZ and even would have bits and pieces around Ohakea and in the Hauraki Gulf .

With the Wanaka Warbirds on the horizon , a burning blast from the past

Someone told me to light the show up ........................ Whoops !

, Aussie Amanda would say ... It was'nt me ..Dolly did it

In the few years they stopped for the airshows south i was impressed by the noise .. but also the time they took to there

No speeding ticket for those pups .......................

Nice...so it does the dump and burn?

by **Ian Warren** » Fri Mar 30, 2012 1:10 pm

By a simple press .. no not the 'V' key but 'I' key .. only 20 minutes away from Christchurch that was real enough ..

even took the virtual wrinkles outta my face

A misunderstood aeroplane... d'you think dump 'n burn was a design feature or what??
I can't think of another plane that does this.
Nice series, you do want to wring out the ole 'vark when you can, eh?
Meanwhile, it was just an old pussycat, serenely cruising out its service life, not doing very much at all...

From Navy long range off the TFX program in the early 60's to a light tactical and strategic bomber course its fame with TFR ..misunderstood ... fuel dump and was nothing more than a fluke of design and course requires a quik match like the afterburn

It real most known use was 1986 and the Libyan strikes from the UK , least it gave some of our boys time to have a play .

Wow!! check out the crew animations before taxi, draps his arm over the side of the fuse and then puts his mask on, eat that people flow!! this a payware dev or freeware?? Its obviously not virtavia. How about a cokpit shot Ian?

That from F111-FSX.com is a payware , i will be getting that myself , you no the old compare deal

... cockpit shot will do , best i try the other parts , some feature are the same but the big deal if you have seen these fly regularly was the wing flex on takeoff .. the next looks it show that feature and yeah 111flow .. COOL .. also be interesting to what sort off cockpit operation it has compared also.

As I typed, I thought ooh what about Libya?
Ronald Reagan couldn't make up his mind about Gaddafi.
So in the end he thought a little bombing might sort things out. Wasn't Top Gun round about that time?

The UN disagreed quite strongly:
By a vote of 79 in favor to 28 against with 33 abstentions, the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution 41/38 which "condemns the military attack perpetrated against the Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya on 15 April 1986, which constitutes a violation of the Charter of the United Nations and of international law."

Oops...
Who said flightsim was not educational?

Operation El'toro Canyon .. don't mess with Lakenheath F111s

Charlie: Excuse me, Lieutenant. Is there something wrong?
Maverick: Yes ma'am, the data on the MiG is inaccurate.
Charlie: How's that, Lieutenant?
Maverick: Well, I just happened to see a MiG 28 do a...
Goose: We!
Maverick: Uh, sorry, Goose. *We* happened to see a MiG 28 do a 4g negative dive.
Charlie: Where did you see this?
Maverick: Uh, that's classified.
Charlie: It's what?
Maverick: It's classified. I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.
