When I worked on F-111’s it took three of us to lift the darned thing into place. Tail hooks are quite heavy.

Scramble query
Is there a way to turn off the Scramble permanently. Honestly, up to fifteen scrambles in a 3 hr sim period gets a bit tedious. Am I the only flight available to intercept with a full AG load and bags?
Besides, it’s crying wolf more often than not. And to pick a slight nit Why does it say Enemy inbounds instead of Enemies Inbound?
Sitting there minding my own business with my headphones on when this "Danger Will Robinson FL Officer makes me about jump out of my skin.Anyhow, thanks for listening. I still love the sim.

Wings are waaay back there
I am confused by my wings displaying so far back in VR. Am I missing a setting?
Also, when lowering the landing gear I seem to get lowered in my seat and have to move the seat up
to see out my canopy.Greg

RE: Do I need all this expensive hardware to be competitive or enjoy the sim?
Hey Jc1, Just popping in for a moment. I live in Roseville, CA as well!! Good to know there’s another Pilot in town.

RE: How did you get your Callsign?
Back in the late 70’s I worked at an airfield in Northern California. We had a service manager who had a beard. One day a customer came in the hangar, saw the service manager, a close buddy and yelled “……Bill, ya bearded clam”. I just lost it, and for months I drew cartoons of a mythical bearded clam…It wasn’t until some years later that I actually found out what a “bearded clam” was…not the ocean variety.
So it stuck,and that’s what I am in F4BMS. Gavel1955 is a shortened version of my first and last name.Greg

RE: F 111 F Hardpoint adjusting
Kind of off your query topic but…Most if not all the F-111’s I worked had tail hooks. And there, for a short time there was a naval variant of the F-111. We had one on the far side of the AFB and occasionally we went out there and stripped parts from it to use on the aircraft we worked on. Finally, on the EF-111 my father designed the jamming system. I worked in depot level maintainance so I don’t know much about Bomb capacity.
