Attention: This aircraft features an incredibly advanced and realistic flight model. If you can't land it, take comfort that I can barely land it using my keyboard, and I've flown it more than anyone probably ever will. I literally had to invent a technology to make this thing work right.

USAF - Armed

Fuerza Aerea de España



Act. 1 - Arrestor hook (carrier landings not recommended, but possible)
Act. 2 - Air brakes
Act. 3 - Braking parachute
Act. 4 - Drop underwing tanks
Act. 5 - Drop tip tanks
Act. 6 - secondary night nav lights (supposed to blink opposite of the main ones)
Act. 7 - primary nav lights
VTOL down - Flaps and the first BCL system ever implemented in SP.

The F-104G Starfighter was an export model of its predecessor, the F-104C. Many improvements were made, including a totally revised tail. However, some US fighter wings retained F-104Gs in order to train Luftwaffe pilots. The F-104G served in nearly every NATO aligned country, including Spain, West Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, Canada, and even Japan. This F-104G of the 69th (nice) training fighter wing was used to train Luftwaffe pilots. As both my first platinum build and my first fully PC build, I spent nearly a week perfecting the design and flight performance (and inventing the first ever functional blown flaps system in SP) with ChiChiWerx. I hope it is pleasing both aesthetically and in terms of speed and agility. This unarmed version is for your enjoyment, and so you can practice your landing and flying without the tanks and missiles presenting a risk to you. Enjoy!
