    I know the thread is about the SSW sale but it's titled SSW Models so here's a quick question regarding the F104 sounds. I'd expect the Zipper to split my speakers but all I'm hearing is similar to an inverter sound both inside and out. It's not the APU as this comes on when it's turned on and goes off after the engine has fired up and I've turned it off. What remains is nothing like a furgin' great jet!! What have I missed??

    Also, the throttle gate guard. I'd expect this to stop the lever going from idle to fuel cutoff but unless I have the sequencing wrong (likely) that aint happenin'. I've yet to land and taxi to where I want to go to before I've moved the throttle back too far and cut the fuel

    Any ideas from you 104 vets??

    Paid and downloaded. The airplane get in pause mode in five seconds intervals, I suppose that is the "time limit" until I get the activation key. Am I right?

    Hei Dave , the sound you hear is the starter sound.When the engine is started after left click on the starter switch , right click on the starter switch and the sound goes off. ( the switch is a start stop switch as real plane gets )

    For the engine stop sequence set throttle in idle , click on the throttle override guard ( yellow with black bars ) then left click switch and set throttle to off ( stop ) or click on the shtoff guard cover ( red ) and left click on the switch .Thi is the only way to shutdown engine . If those 2 switch are untouched , the engine wont stop with throttle in off position.

    I will make a little tutorial video if my shadowplay come back alive. Hope this help

    Also i suggest to download the aircraft manual from the ssw forum in user benefit section under zipper's ( both s & g ) flight manual topic when activated.

    Woohoo! Thanks for the heads up on the sale. I added the F-104G to my stable. Without going off topic, are any of the SSW stable Tac Pack compatible?

    Thanks for a great looking bird.

    Thanks for the sale SSW... just parked an F84 in the hanger. Just waiting for the activation script.

    In the mean time, where's the canopy switch
    Your English is better than my French, German, Italian, Spanish.... so no worries my friends!

    Move the yellow handle on left backwards until you hear a "clunk", then drag the canopy down from the knob on the right side of the csnopy. Remember to secure before take-off.

    These planes are gems, but obviously the makers don't want to become rich. Buying, paying etc was a bit too demanding. This far I haven't found information why there is so many variations. Are those Ubuntus for Linux OS?

    I've wanted the SSW F-104 for a very long time; I, too, was simply ignored by the folks at SSW by never having a registration request answered. I saw this thread early this morning and decided to give it another try. I was amazed when my registration went straight through.

    So I bought the F104G, downloaded and installed it right away. That's when the fun started. Fortunately, today was my day off...

    The SSW activation process isn't exactly foolproof. The first time I installed the model, the installer didn't ask for activation. I figured out something was wrong when trying to close the canopy and kept getting paused with "Demo model" streaming across the screen. So I reinstalled the model, stumbled onto the correct process, and got activated within minutes.

    Back in the cockpit, every bloody step--closing the canopy, starting the engine, getting the INS up, engaging nosewheel steering, etc.--took a trip to the SSW forum, combing through two documents, and browsing Youtube. Thirteen hours later I can finally fly and navigate the thing. I haven't started on weapons yet.

    For the record, I think it's a great model, and I will use it very much. But there is no excuse under the sun for the lack of easy-to-use documentation. I like this hobby very much, but I have a job, home, and family, and can't abide this sort of time-consuming foolishness. It's like SSW is trying to make me go through hazing for the privilege of flying the model I paid for.

    Thanks for that Andrea I'd not been right clicking the starter switch and will make sure I keep the idle guard closed

    EDIT: Yes and Yes.. not right clicking the starter was the cause of the sound I was hearing and NOT clicking the throttle guard has me going wherever I want. Excellent.

    Hi....
    It is strange that we answer about you registration request becasue the entire process is automatic....maybe the old website had some problem in this way, and for this reason we have changed the whole site

    from cold and dark to the air our models requires at least 5 minutes....I know that it is not so immediate at the beginning, but I can assure that you can ( In italy the real QRA F104 had to take off after 5 minutes from the call....and so it is possible with the model ....)...for this reason inside the aircarft folder you can find two documents the zipperhints,pdf, and the zipperfordummies.pdf....Inside this documents you can find all the essential informatiosn to get the Zipper into the air.
    Hope this helps
    Regards

    Hi...
    becasue of our policy, and our new tecnolgy for combat - multiplayer purpose called vACMI, I can say that no SSW products will be TackPack compatible, but only vACMI compatible...Sorry

    How does one get access to the SSW forums? I can not find register button...

    i7-4770K 4.4 Ghz - ASUS z87 PRO - Corsair H100i - 16 gig Kingston Beast DDR3 2166 Mhz - Gainward GTX 1070 GS GLH - CX 750M PSU - CoolerMaster HAF X case

    Hi....there is no registration to the forum, because only customers can register. After purchasing a model you will receive a mail with the credential to acces to the forum.(it requires a little time because it is not an automatic process).
    Inside you can find all our "User-beneftis" as Sceneries, Manuals and others

    And I am grateful your website is much, much better. Zipperfordummies.pdf does not come with the F104G. Maybe it should.

    Downloaded, activated and flying. After 60 minutes learning to use it, I was able to land on the Juan Carlos I without problems.

    By the way, I made the textures for the Cavour several years ago, and I supposed the ship was to be included in this package. ¿Can I find the Cavour somewhere in the package, or is it available anywhere?
    In fact, I have it, but since I´m not the owner of the model (I only made and added textures), I use it only in my computer.
