[MSFS] Sim Skunk Works – Lockheed Martin TF-104G Starfighter v3.3.1

Info


Warning: This aircraft conflicts with Red Wing Simulations L-1049 Super-Constellation aircraft (causes weird smoke effects on Starfighter), only use either this aircraft or the L-1049 Super-Constellation.



Note: To open the kneeboard, click on the harness/quick release box slot on the left side of the cockpit underneath the throttle.



Note: To launch the radar, run “simskunkworks-aircraft-tf104g/html_ui/Pages/VCockpit/Instruments/NavSystems/SSW/WebSimMSFS.icon.exe”.


Changelog


v3.3.1:


– White smoke cloud under some conditions


– Uncorrect pilots view on some view index


– EPU can’t be removed manually


– Other minor bug fixes



Description


Model:



• Highly detailed model, fully animated, both front and rear cockpit


• Highly detailed 3D cockpit, fully animated and working


• Complete 3D-lights systems both internal and external



Textures:



• Multinational liveries


• A complete paintkit will soon be available for painters (upon request)



Systems:



• Almost all real systems have been modelled and working as the real thing


• Flight dynamics modelled 99% close to the real aircraft;


• fully tested and validated by qualified real-world F-104 pilot


• Fully functional and close to real NASARR R-15, A/G and A/A mode with:


– STT (Single track target)


– LOCK-ON


– ATTACK


– GROUND MAP PENCIL


– GROUND MAP SPOILER


– CONTOUR MAP


– TERRAIN AVOIDANCE


• Aerodynamic pitch up, inertia coupling and BLC system reproduced


• Payload drop actually changes aircraft weight, balance and drag as well


• Inertial navigator Litton LN-3 fully implemented



DDI (Dynamic Drag Index):



• The SSW F/RF-104G uses the Dynamic Drag Index concept; i.e. when you load/drop external loads not only is the GW changed but also the drag coefficient is affected and the model aerodynamics change accordingly. This is particularly important in the F-104 where external loads affect greatly the dynamic behaviour of the model.



Sound Set:



• A custom sound set has been developed from scratch, using live recording to give you a full immersion into the Zipper environment. If you are a Zipper fan,you will enjoy staying outside and ‘playing’ with the throttle, listening to it’s unique voice.



User Benefits:



• The model comes with complete docs including:


• Three pilot checklists (normal, emergency,weapon procedures)


• Zipper hints (a doc that help the pilot to use it effectively)


• NASAR R15A simple user guide


• Original 700-page Flight Manual in PDF format
