Get the PIT first!
http://www.schmidtwerner.de http://www.simhq.com/simhq3/sims/boards/bbs/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=121;t=003756 No whining it don't have a pit. You have been forwarned! :p
----------------------------------------------
The F-111 Aardvark by THE VARK TEAM!
This package took along time to put together but here it is.
--------------------------------------------------
The varks.rar has the planes
You will need Norman Knights F-111 Pit as there is not pit with this package. Get it here
http://www.schmidtwerner.de Thank you Norman Knight for making it.
--------------------------------------------------
Also you will have to copy the pit over to the the Varks that are not covered by Norman Knights install. ie the F-111E/G/K. (If I recall correctly) Also there is an updated avionics and pit files in the Vark avionics.rar. Just drop that in your main F-111 aircraft folder and overwrite AFTER YOU HAVE ALREADY INSTALLED THE PIT! SO PIT FIRST THEN MY UPDATES!
--------------------------------------------------
THE VARKS SKINS folder has all the skins for the
varsious versions. Just drop in and that is it.
--------------------------------------------------
There is new weps, pylons and drop tanks, you will need to add them to our wepsdata.ini. Also is the F-111 gun info. It will have to be added as well to the wepdata.ini and that info is in there as well. Then when you select the gun in the loadout.ini it will appear.
--------------------------------------------------
Ok we added:
Long wings to the C/G/K/FB
Pave Tack to the F-111F only. Activate using the Ctrl-O
Fixed many holes in the model
Updated FM's
Removed Sidewinders from F-111A and FB-111A but left them on the rest. If you want to fly realistically do not add them before 1982.
Removed the chaff and flares from the F-111A/D as they were first installed on the E and later.
Fixed landing gear hitting the gear door.
I do not have hanger and Loading screens for the F-111K. I am hoping one of you all will make one.
90% of the tail numbers are actual ones.
F-111F 70-2389 15 Apr 86. Maj Fernando Ribas Dominici and Capt. Paul Lorence
I did this one in their Honor.
Geez you get the idea.
