User comment from a real F-111 pilot
"I was fortunate to be among the group that took the first six production F111s to Thailand in 1968 and even though we had our problems, we did major damage with this fantastic aircraft. You seem to be as passionate about the F-111 as I, so you can imagine how elated I was to see a realistic TFR in action."

3 new textures

Waning and Caution light test

All the instruments now all shut down when power is removed from the aircraft. Failures also shut down failed instrument. Any instrument the fails or has power removed freezes in position.

Lamp test works inflight now, more warning lamps added.

Some things you will not see but feel include 3 seperate air data computers for instruments, autopilot and TF. :)

We now can AIR REFUEL from an AI Tanker! :D
Not from a gauge, but from the AI Tanker. :D
Selecting tanker rendezvous on the nav panel spawns an AI tanker flying a generated route. You then navigate to the AI tanker and as long as you fly inside the invisible ‘box’ behind the tanker, the aircraft takes on fuel.
This is just so cool. :)
It is NOT ready for release yet but the first major steps in testing have been completed.

Also a historic texture for FB-111A-CF 67-0159

Can we get a general release time (next month, year, decade, etc?) I just want to know so I don't get a heart attack from excitement!
