SIM SKUNK WORKS F104-S STARFIGHTER VERSION 3 DEVELOPING NEWS

Hello Mario! Yes, the AMI had mounted an AR Probe on one aircraft but as a Lockheed Representative said to me, "The Italians did not see the need".

Looking forward for the release of this new version! Grazie

Yes, upcoming SIM SKUNK WORKS F-104 S will have a paint kit so good painters can provide other liveries to the community.
However F-104S has some evident differences from G model: two more fences under fuselage to lower CP at high supersonic speed, different nozzles scheme, two more under wing pylons and other minor differences, however we plan to release also a MAP/Consortium F-104G model.
cheers

Sounds really good. A G-model would be great and I'd prefer a C-2 seat in it but not a must. The Germans modified their aircraft with newer engines featuring the F-4E nozzles as well.

Thanks
 
SIM SKUNK WORS F-104 S VERSION 3

Taking advantage of the hospitality of SOH site to warn those who he had offered themselves as a beta tester that unfortunately their messages and their email addresses were lost with the sudden death of my hd.
Please rewrite it to me at staff@102virtual.org since we plan to begin beta testing phase before the end of January 2010.

TIA
/Mario

SIM SKUNK WORKS F-104 model, pitch up trials

Here you can see some trials of the notorious and feared "pitch-up" behaviour of the "zipper", not exactly what should be but we are close.
You can see the "shacker" warning, the "kicker" that pushes the stick forward and the abruptly overridden of the kicker that kick the plane on the pitch-up until the frame collapses due to high loads.
The chorus of chickens is reserved for those who fall for it

fastest way back down in a -104 is to keep pulling back stick, and looking good, i can hardly wait, have fond memories of this aircraft from my Childhood in Larissa :wiggle:

HenryW,

Great repaints of the -104. Especially the QF-104A.

I've searched FS.com and Avsim, but that wasn't posted at either. Can you repost it? Its gorgeous. But I'm a huge drone fan...

Thanks!
Jeff

These skins are for the Alphasim F-104, not the SSW model, unfortunately.
