but:

I also did the conversion I follow your advice Check JB Hi Fi Catalogue and Lenovo Catalogue.

I found two problems

first
the airplane tends to roll

second
the textures canopy are black at night (I guess invert the alpha channel also here)

i am having troble getting a two seater version of the F-104 to work any help

How does one invert the alpha channel?

How does one invert the alpha channel?

You can use DXTBmp (freeware by Martin Wright) or simply use the fixed bitmaps I posted in this thread (post #24 ):

1) Solid Canopy glass fix
In Acceleration, the canopy glass becomes solid grey in outside views when switching on lights at dusk/night. This is caused by the alpha channel in one of the shared textures: F-104G-0_T.bmp. Feel free to dowload a fixed version here

This thread piqued my interest. I thought I would say some nice things about Capt Sim. I bought the F-104 in 2003 when I live in England. I went to reinstall it today and it wouldn`t, I thought maybe because they could tell from my IP I was in Canada but I later found out it was because I have an old version of the 104 (and the B727 as it happens). I rattled off an e-mail to CS explaining that I had moved to another country and could they change it to my current e-mail. They replied within the hour, changed my mail, and advised thru the FAQ`s what the issue was. Fresh downloads and installs to FS9 and I was all set up with 10 mins.

Capt Sim have in the past come in for some stick for poor customer service. I think they are deserving of praise for the response I got today, especially as the items are 8 years old and I have never purchased anything since from them.

So cudos to CaptSim.

Now I intend to follow Henks instructions and see if I can get it running in FSX. :salute:

I want to add my kudos to Captain Sim for their support as well. The F-104 was the first model I purchased from them in 2004 yet, despite being seven years ago, I was able to download the latest installer. I also want to add my thanks to Henk for sharing his work to make the FSX conversion easy! I missed having the Starfighter and now the CF-104 and CF-104D are ready to rock & roll with the addition of some favourite repaints.
