Lockheed F104 Starfighter V4.0

Description
The F-104 is known for its rocket-design and the very small wings. This plane was designed to be used as a fast interceptor and not as a dogfighter. The colour scheme is inspired by the F104 G from the German “Luftwaffe”. Usually they put on many external fuel tanks and it was also used as a fighter-bomber during the cold war there.

Features: -Almost realistic automatic retractable gear - Automatic flaps - Throttle assistance during landing approach -Afterburner -Minigun -Two droppable small bombs -Two missile pods -Pendulum elevator

Steering for flight:
W S = elevator
A D = Roll
Space = Toggle thrusters
Lalt = Toggle afterburner
1 = Drop bombs
LMouse = Minigun
RMouse or X = Launch missiles

Steering on ground:
W = Some thrusters to drive forward
A D = Turn left/right
. = No function, only placeholder

Notes for Version 4.0:
It could reach horizontal speeds about 430kph (~267mph) cruising and max. about 520kph (~323mph) with afterburner now. For Landing you can rise up the nose when the gear comes out and throttle assistance will give you some thrusters and flaps that you will be able to do a relatively slow and soft touchdown. Comlexity limit makes it impossible for me to put on the characteristic tip-tanks, but I could put on droppable bombs instead.
Btw. why did nobody complain about the malfunction of the afterburner in V3.0? ;-)
!!So don’t forget to press Lalt for the afterburner!!

---------------------------------------------

Die F-104 war für ihr Raketen-Design und die sehr kleinen Tragflächen bekannt und primär als Abfangjäger und nicht als Luftüberlegenheitsjäger konzipiert. Diese Version ist an das Farbschema der F104 G der Luftwaffe angelehnt. Die Deutschen bestückten die F104 mit vielen Tanks und nutzten sie als Jagdbomber während des kalten Krieges.

Features: - Fast realistisches automatisches Einziehfahrwerk -Automatische Klappen -Automatische Triebwerksregelung während dem Landeanflug -Nachbrenner -Minigun - Zwei kleine Bomben -Zwei Raketenwerfer -Pendelhöhenleitwerk

Flugsteuerung:
W S = Höhenruder
A D = Rollen
Space = Triebwerke einschalten
Lalt = Nachbrenner einschalten
1 = Bomben abwerfen
LMouse = Minigun
RMouse oder X = Raketen abfeuern

Bodensteuerung:
W = Einige Triebwerke zum Vorwärtsfahren aktivieren
A D = Bugrad lenken
. = keine Funktion, nur Platzhalter

Info zu Version 4.0: Die Geschwindigkeiten horizontal liegen nun bei 430km/h horizontal und maximal bei etwa 520km/h mit Nachbrenner. Zum Landen kann man, wenn das Fahrwerk herauskommt, die Nase ordentlich hochziehen. Die automatische Triebwerkssteuerung schaltet dann einige Triebwerke zu und setzt die Klappen für eine relativ langsame, sanfte Landung. Wg. des Komplexitätslimits sind keine Flächentanks angebracht, stattdessen sind aber zwei kleine Bomben angebaut.

Hi, i agree. A F9F Panther in the blue Navy paint would be nice. I am working on many other projects and reworks of older builds, so i only can put it on my to do list so far...

can you make a "Grumman F9F Panther" please?

id you need any help with something you can always reverse engineer my builds on my workshop. or just message me ;)

Thanks a lot for your positive comment. I always tryed to make my creations without using any glitch but its right that you can make it faster ;-). Good Idea with the spoilers. The main problem for stability is the negative v-shape of the wing but this is necessary for the original look.(Positive v-shape leads to stable pendulum effects) The physics of the game does sometimes too much or too less in comparison to real life... Btw. All my uploads are original. I never will upload something stolen...

well i must say that it looks awesome and that you`re first person from germany that uploaded something original or not stolen. and one more thing uyou should use aeroglitch that makes your plane faster. oh and btw if u want to make your plane more stable you should use inverted spoilers ;)
