Just Flight F-111 Aardvark Download Version Released (Payware)

Hmm, should mean in "off" only the bracket/frame is visible, not the glass plate, as it was in the Demo version.

Well the frame is clear because you have selected "off" - seems logical enough to me...

ah I see what you meant now.

Well, the recent upgrade/production version was modified to a clear bracket because we have installed a conformal, columated HUD which the original demo did not have. Until we work out another way to do it, it's just the way we have to do it to have that kind of HUD which was requested by quite a few people. Oh well you can't please all of the people...

Was to be released nearly 14 months back , but we all no posting the likes of a release date is silly , but yeah i'd be interested to see what more this virgin group has to offer , i do believe variable flex wings from screens and vid two years back .. I guess its good to stick ya toe in the water before jumping in but i cant even get any response or a click to get on their forum ? .. private mails and all ..... lets hope the service once released is better .

The JF version has a huge amount of bespoke animations many will not spot or know about. However, we don't have flex wing because with the complex code required for the swing-wing/loadout pylon and flap deployment routines it meant a lot more than what the model would sensibly take (let alone the modeler!). We wanted to ensure that the swing wing worked correctly in relation to flight dynamics. This for us was far more important for users than say wingflex whch is visual only. If others have it together with proper flight dynamically effective swing wing and flap operations then good for them. We know we would still be developing the title if we had gone that route and frankly I don't think JF would be terribly impressed...

Devs produce for different reasons. We are not an A2A but then we produce far more products in a year, believing the offering of a large choice appropriate for the market. Other devs specialise in one or two types only which although admirable in dedication, does not usually provide for good cashflow in a commercial sense.

If we were all the same, choice would virtually disappear and you could look forward to a rate of maybe 2 -3 products a year coming out. Horses for courses as they say

Well said Baz! I think its important to remember this also when people come here on this site or anything demanding a style to be the same from one developer to the other. For me....I want variety and as long as the developer is open with their intent....than so be it. If you don't like it...don't buy it.

Including armrests....wink, wink, nudge, nudge....sorry, couldn't help myself skyhawk. Good to see you back in the swing of things.

And that is the only sensible way to operate a business in this day and age.

I'll take a choice of aircraft in the 75% realism range over the 95% range any day.
At least I get a variety instead of the same old same old complicated (------- fill in the blanks) aircraft, and yes, there are simmers who are overly obsessed with a single type with everything that rings there bells, but I 'fly' for 'fun'.

Been there, done that and bought the t-shirt...twice, hence the Challenger to compensate for my loss last year (kidding, sort of). Anyway, my thoughts are with you this coming season that it will go well for you my friend. Now, get back to painting.....there's a drought of Skyhawk paints out there.

Look forward to paints for the Vark as well, though I don't have the Skyhawk just yet, I do own the F111 and love it. Just one tiny oversight, have to reinstall FSX again.

Sweet car! Love calibrating their speedo's with my MOPAR product. Seems great minds think alike, though I lack your painting skills.

Ya...great fun for sure...as I've calibrated a few Challengers myself......their headlights are kinda bright though......thank god I have automatic mirrors.......

:salute: All good fun man! But you are correct....Cheers!

**Montie** · December 5th, 2012, 11:40

I would love some more repaint for this one. I have not seen any yet?

***ColoKent*** · December 5th, 2012, 19:37

...with a few notable exceptions:

1. AB effect is awful....(going to see if I can remove it)
2. 3-D landing light beam needs to be gone--I hate it on my beloved MilViz T-38, too (it doesn't look like a landing light beam...it looks like a 3D solid cone sticking out of the aircraft). If we can get this deleted in a service pack, then we can use something like A2A redux and it will look great
3. External tanks appear to be hanging "tail-low" on the pylons....might just be a visual illusion though-- they just don't look quite right

Here is what is best about the JF111:

1. GREAT range of realistic flap/glove/wing positions
2. Excellent flight model....just excellent-- airplane feels stable
3. Nice animations

Just my .02 cents....off to check and see if there is a paintkit anywhere about...

Fun as heck...
