Great shots!!

What version is now?

[bully707]

Zsolt my friend!
That Zipper looks awesome!
Well done...really well done!

[Cleartheprop]

Great shots indeed!

The SSW F-104 add-on is on my HD somewhere but never ever worked on my FSX (initialization failure or FSX failure)... Pity.
This is the only add-on I have never been able to get working. (among hundreds of payware).

[MDIvey]

Zolt...that is a fabulous paint.

Cleartheprop.... I had some problems with that initially but I did some research on the Net and found some suggestions that helped me find a work round, that worked for me... give this a try...

Load the default aircraft at the airport you want to fly F104 at. Press X (or whatever you have automatic shutdown set to) to set cold and dark. I then saved this flight and called it something like default_cold_dark. Whenever I want to fly the SSW Zipper or F84F I load this flight, go to the aircraft menu at the top and load the model I want and then it initializes fine every time. It is a superb model and a nice challenge to fly. I hope you can get it working.

Nice paints as usual Zsolt! Still hoping to see a Vikings team paint at some point in the future.

Do you upload these anywhere or have your own file site?

Hi Matt, Thank you for the advice. I tried to start from a cold and dark situation but it just does not work. I modified the *.ini file to skip the initialization sequence but with no effect. My FSX just shuts down without notice nor warning message.
It's a pity because I wanted to use this add-on to shoot a video showing a F-104 flying in formation with a gliding North American X-15. Anyways..
Thank you for your help anyway.

[ZsoltB]

Great shots!!

What version is now?

Thanks All,the good words!

This is new version 1.6.1 F-104G

Yes, this is a real "ramp start" model

But I lovin!

Hi...
Inizialization failed should be due to VC++ Libraries not corrected installed...make sure to run the MSVC2010.exe inside the aircraft folder or the aircraft will not load correctly....If FSX shut down when load the aircraft, it means that the keys are invalids, may be a change in the hardware , an overclock failed etc....this invalidates the Keys....
I suggest also to go to the ssw new site, make the registration and send a support ticket ;)

Hello Emanuele,
I didnt find MSVC2010.exe on the web. I sent a message to the SSW support forumto try and get the F-104G V1.6. Who knows? This version might work.
My system is not overclocked, and my hundreds of payware add-ons all work properly. Its weird.
I would have liked a simple F-104 which I can use without any initialization as my other numerous aircrafts.

Anyways, Thank you for your support! ;)
Ciao

Hi....
the exe file is inside tha F104 aircraft folder under "simobjects".....
If FSX Shut down with our aircrafts it is only because of an invalid key....hardware change will invalid the keys......

He upload these on his email after you spended him a little paypal donation..... That's a great system. I'd like to introduce it also for me. :D

Ok....
continue with the support....you can send a ticket...we have a totally new support system and more persons to follow the customers....
with the new ssw files we can see what is the problem...may be something in your hardware is going bad even if you can recognize it (and I can assure that we have discovered HW failures in some customers PC through our ssw files)

Repaints should be free, as he uses the paintkit of others, in this case of SSW. A couple of unit insignias added to the kit, doesn't value the donation asked. The paintkit is of the legal owner, in this case SSW.

My 2 cents,
Hank

Hi....
the Tornado is in progress....and it is going well....;) you can find news into our Facebook page with some of the features that we have developed for it.....such as the Moving Map...but not the classic GPS FSX styles map as for all the other add-ons, but a real Cartographic Moving Map as it is in the real aircraft ;)

Thanks Hank.

SSW repaints are FREE and included incrementally in the base packs.

No other people outside SSW staff are cleared to resell anything.

hschuit,

Just a quick notification regarding texture pack SSW_F-104G_2502, I was getting black textures and went to check the texture cfg file for the pack and found this:


[fltsim]
fallback.1=..\texture.cockpit.common.FB
fallback.2=..\texture.cockpit.common.GAF
fallback.3=..\texture.cockpit.common.CONS
fallback.4=..\texture.cockpit.common.MAP
fallback.5=..\texture.external.common.GAF
fallback.6=..\texture.external.common.MAP

When changed to this, everything turned out okay:

[fltsim]
fallback.1=..\..\..\SSW-FRF-104G-TEXTURES\CONSORTIUM\texture.2502
fallback.2=..\..\..\SSW-FRF-104G-TEXTURES\CONSORTIUM\texture.cockpit.common.fb

Way back I did a a 9° Stormo 10° Gruppo bird which was based on a Cloud9 FS9 repaint by Andrea Arlotti. It is only 1024 pixels, quality is not up to today's standards...

Available now in the Warbirds Library: Repaint 22+65 from Jagdbombergeschwader 34, based at Memmingen AB.

Next one is 24+07 from Jagdbombergeschwader 32, based at Lechfeld AB.

[delta_lima]

Have any NASA schemes been done for this SSW bird? I looked in the usual places, to no avail.

Whether the old mid 60s era ....

Someone fancy doing 20+36 of JBG32, as she was at Lechfeld in April 1984?

A very nice scheme of blue, light blue and white with the Bavarian diamond tail.

That is looking great Zsolt! An early German camouflaged Starfighter is exactly what we needed :-) I hope you will share it with us!

From the pictures is looks like JD+244 used a white armament config write up decal on the right side intake and not the often seen black decal under the cockpit. Is it possible to include it?
