Very nice, but why the TF and not the F?

IMHO It looks even better than the F.

But that might be me.. Always liked jet trainer versions better than the single seaters. Besides you have someone to talk to upthere.

Makes no difference regarding repaints, does it ? Every AF that flew them also used the TF.

I guess we need to train first?

You bet! :cool:

SimConnect has been ported in MSFS almost completely, so is doable, at least is possible replicate the asymmetry effect of the BLC if you retard throttle below 83%.

Thank you, SSW, certainly going to be one of the most interesting jets to welcome in our new virtual flying world ! :cool:

To help spend the time waiting for the arrival of the beast and wet future Staf jocks' appetite here are a first few links of F-104 interest, including a hairraising story about the use of BLC.

Can't wait for it to turn up in my hangar, if necessary just to look at it, but i do hope my PT-17 will arrive first so i can get a bit of training. :biggrin-new:
 
Some excellent paint scheme ideas here, kids, after the jet is released...

Or, instead of buying the model, put the money towards a real flight in one of these birds. You'll only need $17,860 more.
