Just Flight’s F-111 Aardvark captures perfectly the power and destructive force of this pioneering interdictor, tactical strike and strategic bomber aircraft.
This package includes the F-111A and F-111C models in five liveries each, with highly detailed model-specific virtual cockpits and a range of ordnance.
The distinctive F-111 variable wing swing is modelled with accurate flap, slat and wing glove operation, and there's even a functioning escape pod, allowing you to jettison yourself from the aircraft in case on an in-flight emergency. Following the jettison process, a parachute will deploy from the escape-pod and guide you to a safe touchdown.
Other features include the iconic F-111 'Dump & Burn' feature, and an accurate HUD, authentic tracking, radar and radio equipment, and a selection panel for controlling what ordnance appears on the aircraft.

I have all of the available F111s that can be bought. Virtavia, and the GSK collectors edition. Each has something done better than the other. The Virtavia’s are the fastest and can reach max capabilities but way low resolution and no working radar.
The GKS collection has the most available liveries and amazing textures as well as best engine sounds. These JF Aardvarks may be the best all around. Except like every other Just Flight military fighters the speeds are done ll wrong! The F111 is quite capable of reaching M2.5 when all externals are removed but these JF versions can barely reach M2.2 and that’s while getting an Overspeed warnin after M1.9 ish. Again they botched the speeds. The F111 does not “Overspeed” with a clean load over FL380 at a measly Mach 1.9. Will they ever get this right? Otherwise they did a good job with the flight model and very good textures. The liveries are almost all the same except for a few minor tail graphics. NO Terrain Follow capabilities, but on the plus side the radar systems actually do work. Something GKS missed badly.
The overall cockpit experience is best had here. I just hope I can edit the .cfg to fix the stupid “Overspeed” warning error and scale up the thrust a tad bit.
That said this is your best bet of the 3 overall. The working radars were the clincher.
I already owned Virtavia's F-111 so I was hesitant to invest in another aardvark. But after flying this baby, I'm glad I did. I'm very, very happy with my purchase. This is one gorgeous warbid inside and out and I find the flight dynamics to be very convincing. No frame rate impact for me either.
