SIM SKUNK WORKS - LOCKHEED FRF-104 G STARFIGHTER MSFS

SIM SKUNK WORKS - LOCKHEED FRF-104 G STARFIGHTER MSFS

Okay, so I am a retired aviation maintenance technician that specialized in avionics. So I really appreciate a sim that has accurate (within reason) avionics. One of the main reasons I purchased this aircraft is because it supposedly has a working radar. Imagine my chagrin when I couldn't get the radar to even come on. After a bit of digging, I find out that there is apparently another app called Red Panda that has to be run to download the data for the ground mapping radar. Okay, I get that. I understand how such things work in sims. The USA area is limited to the southwestern states. I fly out of KEDW a lot so I'm okay with that. What I am NOT okay with is that this Red Panda app is nowhere to be found in my install. Why doesn't my install have it? Where do I get it? I read somewhere about how the Simmarket version doesn't have it and the Microsoft Marketplace version does. I purchased this from Simmarket obviously. So does that mean I can't get this Red Panda app? If this is true, then kindly tell me how I can get a refund. If Red Panda is available elsewhere, well... where? How do I get this app so I can get my radar working? Other than that. I like the model. It flies very nice if you treat it right, just like the real thing.

Why Piracy Hurts Everyone

Consequences of Piracy

  • Legal Risks: Engaging in piracy can lead to severe legal consequences, including fines and prosecution.
  • Security Threats: Pirated software often carries malware, risking your personal data and system security.
  • Lack of Support: Unauthorized copies do not receive official support or updates, leading to potential issues and vulnerabilities.

How You Can Help

  1. Purchase Legitimately: Always buy add-ons from authorized sellers like SimMarket to ensure you receive authentic products.
  2. Report Piracy: If you encounter pirated add-ons, report them to the authorities or the original creators.
  3. Educate Others: Spread awareness about the negative impacts of piracy and encourage others to support developers by purchasing legitimate copies.
