FSX - German SSW F-104G in Bentwaters and more in video

[Cleartheprop]

Hello!
Here is my latest video.
It shows the fantastic Sim Skunk Works F-104G V1.6. The flight model is outstanding, the modeling and skins are really great.
The video shows 2 German F-104G, leaving the RAF Bentwaters base after a short visit, and flying to French Naval Base Landivisiau.

This video gives me the opportunity to show the Flying Stations Buccaneer and the recent HMS Victorious.
Hope you like it.
Action is taking place in the 60's. Music is from "The Who".

Wow! Simply great video Cleartheprop! I have been away from FSX too long and love what's been coming out lately, even the re-release of the Iris C-27. I think rather than re-download all the purchases, I will just select a few chosen ones and start over with the great new releases, including all the SSW products. I noticed in the end of the video, you have animated ground guides. Where do those come from?

Finally, loved the Buccaneers and the carrier, not much into older Cold War jets, except some of the Century series and the Phantom, but they looked fantastic as well.

Thanks for compiling and sharing.

Yup.. enjoyed that:encouragement:

I hope I'm not getting tempted to get the SSW 104!!

Thank you for your nice comments!

I use a software called "instant scenery 3" that allows me to take any object of any of my numerous object libraries and place animated or non-animated objects anywhere in my sceneries.
In this video, I use a Orbx animated man to park my F-104... ;)

Choice of tanks/weapon loads?
Easy to start?
Superb modelling and choice of skins?

All these not enough to tempt you? :devilish:

Thats amazing. I went to Youtube to watch that full screen a couple of times. Great Work!!!http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/images/icons/icon25.gif

Would love to know the process and tools you used to put that together. I recognized of course the aircraft and the scenery. But things like did you fly that online with multiple pilots etc, come to mind. Great stuff again. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Eric, Thank you very much for your comment! I like to get feedback from simmers.

Actually, I use Ezdok camera v1.22 (freeware) and Fsrecorder V2.01 (free as well).
I don't fly online with multiple pilots but rather record every single flight as a track and put them together to fly formation with multiple...tracks. Thats pretty easy to do, just need to work the synchronization and formation flying.

Yes indeed. The only thing is, their site is a little vague. You can't see exactly what they have nor how much anything is. I take it all is revealed when you create an account?

They have a 'how-to' page on their website that walks you through the processes required - after you've created a login.

Thanks Dave. I registered there yesterday and the registration page thanked me and said an account activation msg had been sent to my email address and my account activation would happen on completion of following that link. However.. the email hasn't arrived. It may be a problem with their email server or perhaps its one of the many that don't like Hotmail. Is this an omen I wonder??

Hi Emanuele:)
I've checked the 'Junk' mail folder in Hotmail a number of times (including a few moments ago when I read your post) and it remains empty. Find it hard to believe that Hotmail is binning stuff straight out of the Junk folder.. it usually stays there for a week before it's auto-cleared:(

I use Hotmail myself, and I didn't have any trouble at all.
Blocked senders list, perhaps? Can you check that mail from "simskunkworks.com" isn't automatically blocked?

Such things have happened in the past.

A good point Dave. I've just had a look in 'Blocked Senders' but there's nothing in there from simskunkworks.com:( It's fate I tell ya.. it's fate!:mixed-smiley-027:

Fantastic video !
The music suits it well, too (reminds me of that famous real world video from the Tomcat last flights).

[MDIvey]

Cleartheprop...glad to see you managed to get the Zipper working... great video

Zolt... I particularly like that Luftwaffe paint with white and blue tail... is it available anywhere yet. I checked SSW forum but couldn't see it?

Hi Matt, Yes I managed to get it working thanks to Andrea from SSW who provided me with version 1.6 and a new key.
+ I had to override the initialization process that would never work on my system.

But then I discovered a terrific add-on with a fantastic flight model.
It is a challenging add-on but a thrill to fly in formation. I love it.

I dont know the Tomcat video you're referring to but I am glad you saw some connection between the 2 vids! ;)

It flew across various forums at that time, including CheckSix. It was a longer version though, concatenated with a funny sequence if I remember correctly....

The latest versions are V1.6.1 for the FRF-104G, and V3.8.1 for the F-104S.
