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”.
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
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
