Haven’t done 20 yet, but it’s on my list. Did highway 2 from Maine, portaged through Canada, then from the UP to Washington.

So far:
US-1 Northbound in the V-35
US-50 Eastbound in the 337
US-95 Southbound in the Kodiak
US-90 Eastbound in the T-6
US-41 Northbound in the 310
US-2 Westbound in the Beaver
US-101 Southbound (in progress) in the 170

US-20 and several others on the short list

I might have to pick up the F-111 and do a rehash of the US-95 tour that visited the Nellis ranges.

I assume you’d start at Pease, one of its home bases for years, or someplace in Maine?

she looks fantastic…but how are the flight dynamics i mean how close to real life are they.?..cant wait to get in that seat.!!!

US-95, not I-95, heh. But if I did something with the F-111 up there, it’d probably be out of Plattsburgh. Though, admittedly, that was an FB-111 base.

  • Community version will be released later but we planned to share WP patch through our site. So you can update to WP version yourself.

It looks like the weapons can be added to the msfs store version later!

Does GKS have a website?

Just bought it and I love it! Has its little quirks for sure… one thing that really jumps out for me is the flight model seems off, to me it’s to be a big heavy jet, but it flies like the F-18 … I could be wrong because it’s not like I know what a real F-111E flies like haha, but I do think it’s far to agile!

The dump and burn feature is crazy good! :+1:t3:

Where did you read that they will have a weapons patch available from their website? Is there a link to this site?

Is the wing sweep automatic, or are they tied to an axis?

Had to manually sweep the wings in, the the left of the pilots seat, is a handle you slide to bring the wings in

That’s a quote from a later from the OPs post later in the thread. I couldn’t find an entry for this on their website yet.

Some answers.

-WP patch will be available for download from our site AviaSimHD.com within a first update in the mid of Jan. and yes, it can be installed to PC. (I hope custom updates do not contradict Microsoft policy)

  • as to community version, i have no specific dates for the release. Probabbly after a couple of month.

  • Wing sweep function is not automatic and as i know can be tied to axis. I will verify which channel is used for it and let you know.

  • As to FM. We spent a lot of time studying the documentation for the flight model and its setup. The model has a custom code to match flight characteristics in different flight modes and with different combat loads. Try to take off with a full load and everything will become clear. This is definitely not F18))). (Make sure your Sim’s settings are set to full realism)

Your comment regarding developement costs of the TSR 2 gave us an ironic chuckle with a bitter aftertaste.
The F-35 has been Decades in ‘developement’ and still is. In excess of £40,000 per hour is required to keep this ‘experimental’ Jet in the air and the British Tax payer is footing the bill.
