I love the F-104 its one of my favorites of the century series jets the question i have is on the landing reference speed should be about 180knts in the landing configuration but after a few flights 210Knts indicated or up 240knts is a stable landing speed the aircraft osculates on the longitudinal axis below 210knts for me anyway, anybody else experience this?

Of course it also epends on the weight that you use.

Just a question, where did you get the F104 ??

and read the release notes that come with it

thx a lot !

Just noticed that the f104 which did work perfectly on my setup now defaults to the Cessna when loaded. I haven't changed anything so a bit of a mystery?
-
Did you FS2 crash, if so it automatically defaults to the cessna 172
-
Looks like it happens to most third party planes at the moment. When I select the Bücker, the Klemm 25 or your Starfighter, I get the 172.
I think, there was this morning a update, which made to crash the sim with a couple of planes, including the R22. Just now I fired up the sim, looks like there was a update again, with the result above.
Maybe IPACS likes to look into the issue..?

No didn’t crash. My other third party planes are ok. I tried changing location but still get the Cessna.

I just tried and it seems to be just the starfighter, my Bucker and 211 are old versions so perhaps that helps and they load just fine. It all worked fine this morning but I was off line so no update. I deliberately let it do the update to check this out and now get the error
Will keep development machine off line...
Over to you IPACS
Edit opted out of the beta and the starfighter works fine

If user created airplanes fail to load and you are in the Beta channel, Aerofly FS reverts back to the C172. Please observe the tm.log file for errors and warnings while loading the model.
In case of the F104, it was caused by two lines setting properties that don't exist. You need to comment out or delete the lines in the object

Hi
I have tracked down the problem, 2 lines of code in the HUD. Seems the HUD chosen doesn't support angle of attack and trying to increase or decrease the brightness isn't supported as well. Documentation of things like this would help !!
Will amend all 14 TMD files later today and upload a patch.

I have uploaded some new TMD files to Flight-sim.org to fix the bug with the beta program, simply copy the TMD files into the F104G folder and overwrite the existing ones, remember to copy one of these new TMD's that you wish to use to the F104G root as that one will not have been updated

We now have two threads in two different sub-forums with the exact same name about the same aircraft, I'm going to close this one here.
Please keep future discussions over in the original thread: F104G Starfighter
