11 years after it was released, I can still say that this is one of my all-time favorite FS aircraft. It is one of the reasons I keep a working copy of FS9, even though FSX-SE has become my primary sim. And in case you wondered, YES, it is compatible with Win10... It is a challenge to fly, as was the real thing. The VC is so good that sometimes it's hard to remember if you are in the 2D cockpit or the VC. And the intercept radar works perfectly and I often have fun flying out of a Cold War airfield like RAF Leuchars and intercepting a Bear trolling off the coast... When it was released it was ahead of the game in so many ways. And in relation to most other FS9 aircraft and quite a few FSX offerings, it still is!!! A true classic of the Cold War and a true classic of flight simulation.... A great product that still deserves five stars
Die Captain Sim F-104 ist eine der schönsten Starfighter, man braucht etwas um sie zu landen und auch das Fahrwerk sollte man rasch nach Abheben einfahren ! Bei mir läuft sie wie auch die B707 unter Vista hervorragend . Ich wünschte mir Captain Sim würde weiter Flieger für den FS9/2004 ACOF bauen. Mittlerweile habe ich alle von Captain Sim erstellten FS9-Acft !
poor customer services @ Captain Sim. ordered product three days ago, am still waiting for CS to provide offline activation instructions. I don't care what kind of installation method you ask me to "perform", as long as it works.
This F-104 is the benchmark for all others to awe at. Captain Sim has cont to raise the bar with every new release (maybe that's why we have to wait so long between releases). The pain is downloading, I bought a new computer and still having isues getting Captain Sim to get me hooked up with a download. From now on I will buy on CD versions not downloads. But they are producing the best aircraft hands down. FS Cloud 9 has a F-104 that is approaching Capt Sim level.
By far, this is my favorite payware military plane. The model, 2D panel, and sounds are stellar. The VC is simply in a league of it's own. As a bonus, on my P4 2.8G machine I see frame rates in the 30-40fps range...even with the sliders to the right. The flight model will definitely keep you honest, particularly on landing! Simply put, don't hesitate to buy this plane...even though the price is a bit steep.
Genial !
Wenn man den Starfighter erstmal halbwegs im Griff hat, kann man sogar als "Armchairpilot" die Begeisterung alter F-104 Piloten für diesen Vogel nachvollziehen.
Die Sounds lassen einen schnell vergessen, daß nur vor dem PC sitzt und auch das Flugmodell macht einen sehr guten Eindruck.
Ein übriges tut hier auch das hervorragende Außenmodell, welches nicht nur klasse aussieht, sondern im Gegensatz zu Lago's G.91 bei mir auch absolut flüssig läuft.
Eine absolute Kaufempfehlung!
