Simskunkworks Starfighter

It's the Smoker!
It's the Fighter!
It's the Starfighter!!!

This aircraft makes feel the sensation of the respect. If you don't respect her, it's the end. But if you take care of her in the proper way, she gives the best!!!
 
I have the Captain Sim version with their FSX patch.

Can anyone say how it compares to that?

Thanks
 
In my opinion, the C9 F104 beat the CS model hands down. The Simskunkworks F104 takes it to an entirely different level of realism. If you want "real as it gets", the Simskunkworks F104S is the way to go. And it's going to get better.

Dougal,
I don´t have the CS one.
I did only a little flight without system procedures yesterday. But it handles very well (What i think it´s supposed to handle because of course i´m not a real f104 pilot) and the fde is impressive. Others can give you a more acurate vision of this. The sound package is one of the best i saw until now. I only managed to get the manual today, so i´m going to the reading because the plane IS very system deep with many of them simulated, including the weapons.
Of course, there are little things to work out like bump mapping the plane but the "fun factor" is so great that you almost forget this ...
And ... the price .... wow!
 
I have flew the CS, and the Cloud9 many years ago, before becoming a Virtual "Pluto" and entering in the Project. We have made many, many hours of flight Hours...to test and to verify, supported by the experience of Mario and other pilots.....have we reach the goal? I can say "yes" and I am sure of that...surely we can do better, and I can say that we are working again, and again.....

The model is in evolution..for sure, as Flaviossa says we work on bump mapping, and other features, as we say in our web-site, to complete the project.. :)

Just to let you Know I post a video, of a start up, and shut down, that Mario made in August of the new virtual cockpit....the cockpit is in development and soon we post a new video of the actual situation.....
enjoy :)

:) thanks Peter....that was our goal, and that is our goal for our future projects: "as real as it is"... always if we can, but we try to get possible

Just a thought...flying our zipper in the sim for test, and test and for the "operative" life :), with so many hours that I forget, I have understood that many things, or legends about the zipper are not true.

It was called "the widow maker", or " Flying-coffing" (is it the right translation?) but when you fly it, you realize that it was not an "airplane's problem", it was always a "pilot's problem"...as a famous Italian's Pilot said: "with the Zipper, when an accident happened, it was always a pilot's training problem"....The zipper was not easy to fly...it is true....it had limits....it is true....but if you fly it, as it wants, as it asks..it gives you great satisfaction! :) For this reason as Mario always says: "the F104 Dash-one for the Zipper's pilot is as the Bible for the priest, You must know it...or you make big holes on the ground" :)

see you

WELL IT'S REAL! Amazing!! I want A Helmet and Mask, ohh and Granizzze AFB lol :) YEAH Zipper = RESPECT fail and DIE... respect and HAPPINESS!!!!
 
Hi,

This one looks very tempting. I was one of the guys the painted the C9 version and the 104 is one of my favorite aircraft.
Would it be possible to have some screenies that are mode close up? All I've seen of this aircraft externally is from quite a distance. I want to have a look at textures, bump, spec and modelling details.

Thanks in advance
