When a new aircraft for FSX appears, there are only two "politically correct" statements:
1. When it finally comes for FS2004.
2. We want cold and dark start-up procedure, deep systems, as real as possible.
I don't want it cold and dark. I don't need systems :isadizzy:.
I want to fly - yes, I want a toy!
Many think so. But no one dares to admit it.
The Starfighter is very beautiful.
Through proper payment I would like to support the developers.
But an aircraft in which I can't even bring the engines to run, I do not need.
The more I want to thank you for pointing out, that it's not a toy.
This will save me trouble and disappointment.
Many greetings from Germany
Bernhard

This is an honest speech, i would agree completely, just to be clear: those who want a toy does not take the SSW Starfighter (and other models that will come out), two people will be happy: he will not waste his money and we do not hear annoying complaints.
cheers

An amazing aircraft, bravo SSW :-)

SSW's policy has been clear and polite since this team was born. They declared their mission and what the people can expect from their models...
If i'd like to play with toys, simply i'd choose Microsoft Flight and its "amazing" seaplanes

It sounds strange that some people ask a shortcut for a procedure that requires 45".I think many time is not a matter of time,but a matter of laziness.By the way,I never found people that asks to the "bigs" (PMDG,IRIS,MILVIZ,ecc) to place shortcuts,I think that if you want to buy a realistic plane,you promise yourself to be as more real as you can.

Beside laziness (which I don’t mind admitting surrendering to occasionally outside working hours) I sometimes want to make a quick flight only to discover that I have forgotten how a plane works. As I don’t want to delve through the manual(s) again, which may take more time than the flight itself, I found a simple solution. Whenever I have figured how to get an aircraft off the ground I add my newly found wisdom to a checklist in Word that I save on my iPad. I am happy to send the file to anyone who PM’s me. Two warnings: it is in Dutch and if you ruin your FSX install you’re on your own. But, lazy as I am, for a quick flight I usually take the Aerosoft F-16 for when I press shf 2 I get the choice between a cold start and a runway take-off. Guess which option I never tried…. But it is true; starting up the SSW Zipper is a no-brainer once you know how to do it. And it is really atmospheric to close the canopy, start the EPU and bring the aircraft to life.

I timed it. From cold start to gear up in under 3.0 minutes. The rest of the learning is how to fly within the envelope. Landings are tricky and certanly not boring.

**Cirrus N210MS** · April 23rd, 2012, 17:02

how much does this plane cost in USD???

**LUCE1** · April 24th, 2012, 00:10

From 26 up 1,000,000 USD

Is it possible to set the squawk code "7001" or "7666"?
because I can only set the thousands and the hundreds...Thanks

**whiteside** · February 22nd, 2015, 04:30

Tried to log on and create an account so I could d/l the 104. There is no captcha to see so you cannot complete registration. Any ideas?

**DaveB** · February 22nd, 2015, 04:47

My registration went walkabout too whiteside and I gave up waiting. Eventually.. one of the SSW team on this thread sorted it out. I think it was PLUTO12 (edit) or andrea

**whiteside** · February 22nd, 2015, 04:53

Thank you for that. Actually, there is no captcha and no BOX to put any captcha in.

**whiteside** · February 22nd, 2015, 05:07

Same goes for there "CONTACT US" email. NO CAPTCHA!

**DaveB** · February 22nd, 2015, 05:22

Hmm.. with luck, one of the SSW guys will see this thread and get you sorted. They're here quite often so I doubt you'll have long to wait

Hi,
for sure you can set those squawk code. you have to configure you IFF/SIF panel in "mode3" (or Mode C). If I remember well the switch in the top near the rotary knob on the SIF Panel. Then the switch on the middle in the "Ident"
hope this help

Hi,
the "captcha" problem is browser related, most of the time is due to an outdated Java or FlashPlayer version.
BTW send and e-mail to info@simskunkworks.com specifying which username you want and we will create an account for you.

Just curious but why do ancient threads get resurrected for a new question? Read through the first post thinking I needed to update before I realized it from 2012. Jeez.

**whiteside** · February 23rd, 2015, 09:55

Thanks Will
