Awesome... ACFT has interesting carrier apch flight characteristics. I wonder if actual jet flies that way. Great VC... Great Avionics... different from traditional/what I'm used too. Worth the purchase if you like or are curious about MIGs. I would like to see a few more features... ILS/Tacan to ships for instrument work around the boat. Maybe a Tacpack mod for weapons : ) That coupled with the current APCH characteristics would make it Delta Flight Path/Magic Carpet Like. Maybe aircraft selection with more traditional approach characteristics too. If you're into Navy Jets/MIGs this is FUN! It's different... The price and fact that it didn't say Steam compatible had me holding off on purchase for sometime... a shame because this JET is well done. Maybe if the price comes down others will try? But you do get a carrier too (two versions... ship PDF mentions the Chinese version too, but maybe that's in the SU-27 bundle. No problems on FSX Steam... (So far) Overall a well done Aircraft/Model... Surprised by look and feel of VC... screenshots don't do it justice. Criticisms... ILS instruments functionality... this is probably a user issue, besides lack of carrier ILS/Tacan... flew other approaches (mainly KSAN 09) and scan was hard for ILS... couldn't figure out how to tune CRS to RNWY HDG for ILS. Plus I need to read up on the NOC symbology both on MFD and HUD (going off memory from old CAPTSIM MiG-21 and DCS SU-33). I'm going to try other products from this developer now.

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.
