SIM SKUNK WORKS LOCKHEED MARTIN TF-104 G FOR MICROSOFT SIMULATOR 2020
MODEL
Highly detailed model, fully animated, both front and rear cockpit
Highly detailed 3D cockpit, fully animated and working
Complete 3D-lights systems both internal and external
TEXTURES
multinational liveries
A complete paintkit will soon be available for painters (upon request)
SYSTEMS
Almost all real systems have been modelled and working as the real thing
Flight dynamics modelled 99% close to the real aircraft;
fully tested and validated by qualified real-world F-104 pilot
Fully functional and close to real NASARR R-15, A/G and A/A mode with:
- STT (Single track target)
- LOCK-ON
- ATTACK
- GROUND MAP PENCIL
- GROUND MAP SPOILER
- CONTOUR MAP
- TERRAIN AVOIDANCE
Aerodynamic pitch up, inertia coupling and BLC system reproduced
Payload drop actually changes aircraft weight, balance and drag as well
Inertial navigator Litton LN-3 fully implemented
DDI (DYNAMIC DRAG INDEX)
The SSW F/RF-104G uses the Dynamic Drag Index concept; i.e. when you load/drop external loads not only is the GW changed but also the drag coefficient is affected and the model aerodynamics change accordingly. This is particularly important in the F-104 where external loads affect greatly the dynamic behaviour of the model.
SOUND SET
A custom sound set has been developed from scratch, using live recording to give you a full immersion into the Zipper environment. If you are a Zipper fan,you will enjoy staying outside and 'playing' with the throttle, listening to it's unique voice.
USER BENEFITS
The model comes with complete docs including:
Three pilot checklists (normal, emergency,weapon procedures)
Zipper hints (a doc that help the pilot to use it effectively)
NASAR R15A simple user guide
Original 700-page Flight Manual in PDF format
User support help desk at help-desk@simskunkworks.it

je regrette que la nouvelle version monoplace soit proposée plein tarif pour les acquéreurs de la version biplace.
Pas très commerciale cette politique de vente.

although they have improved texturing slightly compared to their g91 it's still not up to the standards of justflight asobo or aerosoft. What I don't understand is how the specifications tab in the aircraft selection menu for the aircraft is blank. Considering the vast amount of history and information available to them concerning the F-104. It seems they are content with releasing incomplete aircraft. Their g91 still has wheels that penetrate the ground. So, it doesn't look like they care about updating and fixing issues with their aircraft. I'm impressed with the implementation of in sim radar but the overwhelming number of minor issues and inconstancy in quality is starting to leave a bad taste. Once there are more suitable alternatives, I don't think I will continue to purchase their aircraft.
The pilots move in sync and this looks quite strange. They also seem to be a bit below scale.
The main wheels will not rotate unless the nosewheel is in contact with the ground.
The "8-ball" attitude indicator seems to be non-functional.
At full flaps the plane can fly as slow as 100 knots which is very unrealistic. for this reason, I only use the first notch of flaps which makes for a more realistic 180-190 knot approach speed.
I really hope SimSkunk continues development of the product and can provide upgrades a remedies for these drawbacks. In spite of these shortfalls the plane is a joy to look at and fly and is worth the purchase cost.
Hello, wonderfull work, amazing.
Just one question, how do I change from the Italian livery to the Belgian one?
sincerly yours, Roger
Developed by an extremely skilled and dedicated team of people - including a real TF-104 G pilot who took and takes care of the flight model developing, testing and debugging to make it like the real thing - who put all themselves and their efforts into this fantastic project.
This is not "similar" to a TF 104-G Starfighter, this simply "IS" a TF-104 G starfighter, in all its aspects, behaviours, flight envelope, specs, characteristics, sounds, external and internal details, liveries and much more! And it will be surely improved and made it even better with next hotfixes or updates incoming!
If you love the Starfighter or if you are just curious to feel and try what flying an F-104 was and still is, go straight for this mod, you won't at all regret it!
Last but not least, included with the mod plenty of rare and interesting docs, including the original flight manual of the F/RF-104 (single seat) and TF-104 G (double seat) Starfighter, almost 700 pages. Docs very interesting and useful to be read and understood if you want live this TF-104 G mod's experience at its best!

Fantastic. A wonderful job. Truly unique details and sounds. I like their way of working, always attentive and precise to customer requests. Thanks
I can't seem to find how to turn the hud on but i'm sure i must have missed something in the manual.
My only problem is that the engine sounds seem awfully low when in cokcpit view, and it doesn't react to wheither the canopy is open/closed. Switching of the 3d sounds in the sim seems to fix the problem but then you loose some immersion.
I'll gladly add the 5th star once this is fixed. Keep up the good work
