Koolkid101 0 Posted April 12, 2003 Skaircro sent us his General Dynamics F-111C/G Beta 1 from the Royal Australian Air Force, a high quality addon (OFP V1.90+) with a lot of features! The only problem is that The cockpit has VERY limited and boring texturing. -Custom gear animations -Animated canopy doors -ECM system (all except SweepWing) -Manually controlled flare system -Auto ejection at critical damage -MK82 Snakeye bombs that are selectable as low-drag or high-drag -Different models for most fired weapons (thrust flame on missile's, deployed fins on GBU's, retarder on Snakeye's) -Non-Guided general purpose bombs!!! (will not home on target, more realistic) http://ofp.gamezone.cz/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lee_h._oswald 0 Posted April 12, 2003 It looks really good! The flares system is nice. Now the maker should get some help from FA18 makers and make it perfect! MfG Lee Next Project maybe B1B-Lancer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Loc-Dog 0 Posted April 12, 2003 No, not from the listing at their official web site. [EDIT] Here is some of its history! RAAF MUSEUM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnylump 0 Posted April 12, 2003 F-111 Aardvark was retired by USAF in early-to-mid 1990s. The EW variant, the EF-111 Raven, lasted until 1998 or so, until it too was retired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dkraver 1 Posted April 12, 2003 Nice work. The finished addon is sure to be downloaded by me. About US version there should be made one since the timeline isnt just present day or 1985 from the cwc. So the timeline for addons go from present day and back maybe also beyond if you ask some Its all up to the the mission maker when he wants the mission to take place.

LaPoi 0 Posted April 12, 2003 What is it under, I can't find it. Is there a bug? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miles teg 1 Posted April 12, 2003 (sigh) It's under West and the SKC aircraft. Also the addonmaker stupidly (sorry but it is the truth) zipped it in a folder. This totally throws people off because the addon won't work unless you take the pbo out of the folder it creates and then stick it into the addons folder. So go and look for a folder in your addons directory called "SKS_F111_Beta1" If you already did that, then like I said, in your mission editor look under "West" and "SKS aircraft". Overall I think this addon is amazing. Like others I really hope that the creator of this fine addon makes a USAF version of it. Also another problem. The AI pilots seem to love flying this plane into the ground when doing bomb runs. I think that part of the problem is that the aimpoint is set too high. This causes the pilot to fly really low when doing bomb runs. That's what I suspect anyways. I really wish BIS would make an update with a "bomber" mode where the pilots don't dive down when dropping bombs. Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chaztheducky 0 Posted April 13, 2003 wow.....it's..it's...amazing! i love it. expicily the part how the paveway II's fins are out when you drop them but in when they are on the plane! i give it a very well earned 9.5 out of 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wick_105 0 Posted April 13, 2003 I LOVE THIS THING!!!! I droped all 4 lgb's at a tank, turned around as fast as I could and fallowed them in......I was also blown up, but it was sooooo cool I love the high drag bomb's, snake eyes? is it?...so realistic, just like video from vietnam. really nice, I like the ecm and flares this addon rocks... note to everyone get this NOW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coporal_punishment 0 Posted April 13, 2003 The amount of counter-measures it employs is amazing. It has chaffs, auto ejecting and radar jammer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
killagee 0 Posted April 13, 2003 Thankx! excellent model. Are you part of the ADF mod? Few issues (always are!! AI only drops one bomb at a time, very innaccurately, and it performs a ridiculously low level bombing run. Looks sweet. Like the fuel burn!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coporal_punishment 0 Posted April 13, 2003 Yeah I am part of the ADF mod but Skaircro the person who made the model and isn't part of the ADF mod but he has given us the un-encripted version therefore we will edit the model a bit here and there twike the configs, change the lods, change the enternal textures and do some other cool stuff. Really can't tell you much but at the end with will turn out looking great. Who knews perhaps we will release a US version of the FA-18 and the FB-111 when we release the Australian Fighter Pack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â That's good news that you guys will be making some U.S. versions. Â Actually just a version that allowed custom flags to be put on the wings would be great (like the SEB Nam2 choppers that allow custom textures). But the main problem as I see it is that the AI attacks much to low. Â Please adjust the point of aim (the aiming dot) and make it lower so the pilot doesn't dive down so low when attacking... I think that *might* fix the problem. Â The BIS A10 aircraft for example do not do this when attacking. Â I noticed this problem with several other aircraft addons as well such as the RAD F-18's and the G8 Tornados. Â However this F111 addon has an even worse tendency to fly into hills, buildings, and trees when doing bombing runs. Â Like someone else said, the AI also is not very accurate with the bombs, although on occasion I've seen them score good hits. Â Anyhoo... these are all just little things that I hope you guys work on. Â Other then that, this addon is absolutely amazing! I can't wait to see some U.S. versions for Vietnam missions and more modern missions (like simulating the raids against Libya and usage during the first Gulf War). Keep up the great work! P.S. Â I hope someone also makes the Russian version... Â The excellent Su-24 Fencer!!! Â Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD> Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coporal_punishment 0 Posted April 13, 2003 Wow never knew the F111 was used in the Vietnam war. You learn something knew everyday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miles teg 1 Posted April 13, 2003 Yup. The F-111A flew from 1972-1973 in 4,000 combat missions. It's been around awhile hence the reason why it was retired. Sadly however nothing ever really took its place. The closest aircraft is probably the F-15E Strike Eagle and the A-6 Intruder, both of which are also getting a bit long in the tooth. Anyhoo.. I can't wait for someone to fix this addon up a bit better and to also make a U.S. version of all the different variants in this addon pack.
