Hi Dag,
I remember you well from the C9 forums. You did some great repaints. Do yourself a favour and download it, it's a steal at 8 euro's, and I'm sure you won't regret it. Also, your usual constructive criticism could be very helpful as this is still a WIP.

Russell.

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

The amazing thing about this bird is its flight dynamics which are miles better than anything else. Visually the exterior and interior models and the textures are very good for the price (£7). We await vs 3 which promises significant improvement in the VC and a paint kit which I personally can't wait to get my hands on. Here's a close-up

Hi...it is a pleasure to see you here...I know your repaints for the C9, they were wonderful, at that time there were also some of my repaints for the C9 for a Service Pack :)
About the model there are some improvements and details such: the second Pitot, Auxiliary Inlet doors, APC, the radio and system antennas, the anti-roll fins, the Sparrow antennas, a totally new Nozzle (for the J79-19...the C9 was for the J79-11), new cinematics for the landing gear, the various inlets for the system on the fuse and others details.
Unfortunately, at this moment, the model has not a bumps-map, and a spec-map (the spec I made is quite totally opaque, I make so in the material editor of 3D studio, but I'm working on it). they will be present soon, so the new paint kit. At this moment the texture are quite similar with the C9 textures even if the model was totally remapped, and in some cases the texture of the C9 don't match well the new model. I hope that with the paint kit the "painters" would improve our model with new and beatiful "skins" :)

Any "criticism" would be very helpful for us to improve the model :)

Thanks for all

Emanuele

For the flying model we have to give credit to MARTE 21 aka Diego, I guess Daisan here.

<TABLE class=ldm_table_fullwidth><TBODY><TR><TD width=250 align=right>



</TD><TD class="ldm_description ldm_spacer" vAlign=center align=left>This repaint can be used for the Progetto / Sim Skunkworks F-104S-ASA v1.0 (and the F-104S v2.6 although this livery was only worn by the ASA / ASA-M variants). I like to thank Andrea Arlotti who gave me kind permission to use his original repaint for the cloud9 F-104.

These sKins are amazing....well done :)

I would only say that I made a mistake on the old thread about the Alphasim F104, when I say that the manual of the Zipper was "included"....my fault....it comes with....the original manual is not part of the installer.....the reason aer many....the most important is that it is more than 250 pages, which were been scanned, and corrected in many parts to match the original words, with the features in the sim-mod...it was a lot of work.....I hope that you understand the reason..... :)

thanks and sorry for my poor English, and for my mistake

Please do the standard...

....two tip tank and two underwing tank loadout.

Other than that, can't WAIT to get home and buy this baby. I LOVE -104s. Any hope of a -G and TF- in the future?

Keep up the GREATwork!

WHO FIRST DISCOVERS THE ERROR..

will have a 8€ bonus to have F104S or F104S-ASA at his choice.
yes there is an error on the aircraft and not so little evident, i can't say more, just that has been discovered long ago and that was intentionally left for several reasons, may be the most important is that as old programmers we sometime love our bugs too !
However will be corrected in the next version.
Obviously the contest is void for all VAAFSE members :icon_lol:
btw: error can be discovered just carefully watching the forum without having the aircraft.
 
I see the different aircraft versions are purchased separately.

I don't know enough about the 104 to make an informed choice.

What were the different versions for guys?

Hi...
here some differences between the S and ASA version:

About the exterior model, there is another antenna under the radome for the ASA, and the gun Bay is covered in the ASA version. The ASA, also, had a Sidewinde and a Sparrow in Interceptor configuration, while the S had two sidewinders. There are also some cosmetics differences in texturing and some particulars.

The main difference is in the virtual cockpit. A Totally different layout for the ASA, New Ejection-seat, new cloche and other particular.

The two version had different use. The S version was Interceptor and Fighter Bomber, the ASA was only interceptor.


I hope this Helps

Just a guess: Several nav lights are not working on the ASA v1.0 (commented out in the aircraft.cfg)
