    @Kennneth
    In fact it would take a way to simulate the BLC (Boundary Layer Control).
    I guess it's not easy to do!

    @Kangy bruh do some research, “To make landing speeds “reasonable,” The F-104 forced engine air through the wings to smooth the airflow and give more lift. With bleed air, the Zipper could land at the challenging but not extreme speed of 160 to 165 knots. If the air-bleed system was not working, landing speeds climbed to 240 knots.” Which is 444.48 kilometres per hour, with flaps extended

    Yours is a magnificent 104A, and just seeing it that I came up with the idea of making an S version.

    This is such a lovely build for a person with your point level.
    I will be keeping an eye on you :)
    Only problem is this thing’s stall speed, it’s far too high and you end up having to land at around 500 km/h
