Sim skunk works lockheed frf-104 g

[SSW1]

In a couple of days will be published the LOCKHEED FRF-104 G for MSFS 2020.
Many have asked us if there would be a discount for those who had previously purchased the TF-104 G.
We would have liked to give this opportunity to the many who bought the TF-104 G, unfortunately it was not possible because only one of our distributors said he was available to manage the discount.
Then we thought it appropriate to put the FRF-104 G at a discounted price and lower than that of the TF-104 G, we think in this way to satisfy even those who already have the TF-104 G.
In fact, the FRF-104 G single-seater will cost 20 € compared to the 30 € of the TF-104 G.
We know we can’t please everyone, we’re sorry.

Wonderful news!

[Priller]

It's brilliant news! And I'm referring to both the release and the price!

[Daube]

Great news ! Thanks a lot

[hangarrat101]

If it's as good as the TF-104 (and absolutely no reason to imagine it won't be) 20 euros is an absolute bargain! Definitely a day one purchase!

[Stickshaker]

This really is excellent news! Your F-104G is one of the reasons I have FS2000.

[cortomalteseit]

Looking forward to the release day!
SSW's quality is always the best, and thanks for the good price too!

[Sundog]

Thanks for the heads up, I've been looking forward to the single seat aircraft.

[Priller]

The update for the latest iteration of MSFS is available on simmarket!

The problem is not fixed for me
Smoke effect bad
Engine crashes at high altitude

[azflyboy]

Apparently there's a conflict between the Redwing Constellation and the F-104, so if you have both installed, that may be the cause of the smoke issue.

SSW also recommend setting a 1-2% dead zone on your throttle axis, since there's still issues with SU9 that happen at 100% throttle.

Has anyone else noticed that since the last patch the fuel flow is way too high?

In my last flights the fuel flow doesn't even move off its highest travel till below 90%
At 87% fuel flow is over 8500 lbs per hour
All this was at well over 20,000 feet


If anyone does the Facebook thing could you mention this to SimSkunk works?
I have heard that is the best way to be noticed

Edit to add - this was after the SSW patch to correct the update 9 issues

I was just getting ready to write the same thing on the Sim Skunk Works FB page. I will do this -if you don't mind- using your own words, which best explain the problem.

Thanks Fulvio, I appreciate it.

I don't have a Redwing Constellation

[keithb77]

It's any add-on with a smoke<?>vfx file (not sure of the exact spelling) - a consequence of their overlaying all add-ons into the same virtual file system that apparently didn't occur to Asobo...
There is a helicopter missions add-on that reportedly also provokes the problem.

Also SU9 broke the afterburner.

[ZsoltB]

This is unfair because until they fix it, we cannot use the products we paid for
It seems that Asobo decides when I can fly with the sim

[Fulvio_61]

Thanks Fulvio, I appreciate it.

Joe Bob, SSW's answer to my FB question was: "forget it, fuel flow logic has been messed up". I am therefore afraid that we will have to wait for a fix from Asobo.

MSFS is a sim in its infancy Zsolt. And it's not only about you, we all encounter problems.

We just have to be patient.

In this link you can download a file made available by SSW on the Microsoft Flight Simulator forum dedicated to both Starfigther models, single seater and trainer. It modifies the engine parameters and brings the fuel flow back to normal levels, thus solving the problem. Great job as always, guys. Thanks.

Thanks for following up on this Fulvio

[ZsoltB]

I copied and overwrote the engine file
Unfortunately no change,the engine is down

Did you try to extend +2 or 3% on upper "extremity dead zone" of joystick L-Axis Z?
This fix however is for fuel flow only, version 1.2.0 is required if the afterburner fails to operate beyond 10,000 feet.

[joe bob]

Can someone confirm if the propeller axis still controls radar tilt? Mine seems to no longer do that.
