My post was just a little provocation, I know the forum rules well,

1261

Iā€™m frustrated the 310 does not work F104 works a fly on ten,I can understand that the problem is on the original file I made two updates all as before,but guys the product is yours you can not tell me to open a tiket,you should be you with Microsoft understand whatā€™s wrong,Iā€™m also willing to buy me back the plane of course marketplace will not see me anymore

1262

Inherent to my problem with the shorts I discovered that all the original skins work perfectly and also those created by others, now I contacted whoever downloaded my skins and it seems that they work, I can not understand what can be thanks

Hello everybody.
After the last update (on microsoft market) the plane looks good for many things except that it has lost power. what I mean is that it is slow now. I can reach at max Mach 1.6 on clean configuration with full afterburner at FL40.
Before the update once you pass 1.2 it became a beast in terms of climbing and speed.
Now the performance is dramaticaly decreased. Anyone has sseen this?

is it normal or it s a bug?

regards

just got 3.3.1 from orbx. 2 problems:

  1. in VR, taking camera outside and returning to VC, the pilot figure appears on the seat, only way to get rid of the pilot is to get out of VR. This was an old bug in an old version.
  2. radar isnā€™t working anymore. looks like the websim applet isnā€™t used anymore but the radar shows the faint ā€œRadar Offlineā€ at the bottom of the screen with radar inop. also, is the GM mode database available for download? the manual is blank.

Hello,

  • is hard to fix something without know what is wrong, where you reported specific info on the issues?
  • did you try to contact the help dedk?
  • there are thousands of user without your (unknown) issues, Iā€™d ask myself if I were youā€¦
  • last but not least, how we can help you fix issues that we donā€™t know and canā€™t replicate?

point 2: Indeed, that is because the WebSimMSFS,icon is missing!

1267

Hello just gone on msfs for first time since Installing SU11 and updated the 104. Two questions where is the click point for the auto trim set? Second thing I canā€™t get it off the ground anymore. The elevator moves up and down as normal and I can push down and the plane will nose into the ground but it will not pull up it just wobbles side to side down the runway.

Iā€™ve not changed any settings since I last used it and Iā€™ve just tried the hawk and got straight off the ground so not sure what could be causing it.

Any suggestions welcome I was looking forward to a flight but not had any luck. :frowning:

1268

is it supposed to be missing after integrating the radar function without applet? or just missing? sounds like itā€™s missing since the main doc still refers to executing the websim app.

1269

What I do know, is that without WebSimMSFS.icon (and without activating it), you will not see the radar active. Tested it yesterday and today on both the TF and FTF.

hello,
we are not authorized to set exe files into MSFS distribution anynore, so users should install the WebSimMSFS.exe (aka Red Panda) manually, apologize for that.
Download from:

and install it into:
ā€¦\simskunkworks-aircraft-frf104g\html_ui\Pages\VCockpit\Instruments\NavSystems\SSW
or
ā€¦\simskunkworks-aircraft-tf104g\html_ui\Pages\VCockpit\Instruments\NavSystems\SSW
you may want launch the exe even before the sim, a coloured icon on notification area will show RedPanda connected with our server, a gray icon shows RedPanda running but not connected.
Use right click on icon to close RedPanda or set it to be run when OS loads.
NOTE
RedPanda not running shows a ā€œRADAR OFFLINEā€ on radar screen.
At present are covered following countries:

  • Italy and big part of Croatia, Germany, United Kingdom
  • Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Denmark
  • Norway, Sweden, Finland, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania
  • Baleari islands,
  • Greece, Cyprus,
  • Slovenia, Austria

Thanks Iā€™ll try that, not sure if that will cure my other issue with getting off the ground as well but fingers crossed.

My SU11 has brought my TF supersonic M2.5 at 80,000ft. Thatā€™s a proper performance upgrade!

I was not aware that those parts of the US were included on the radar, now I need to try them out!

1275

I have the same problem. Performance is gone and the TF-104 is no longer the rocket. I was not able to break the sound barrier even when going full throttle in a steep dive from 35.000 ft.

1276

thanks for giving back the radar functionality.

any quick fix on the VR issue?

  1. in VR, taking camera outside and returning to VC, the pilot figure appears on the seat, only way to get rid of the pilot is to get out of VR. This was an old bug in an old version.

Weird, with a clean configuration I can get supersonic in a shallow dive from 8,000 feet.

I believe the problem was caused by the throttle dead zone that was needed for the previous engine model. When I removed it I was able to get to mach 1.6~1.7

Iā€™d be happy if I could get mine off the deck! :frowning:

Just managed to get it off the ground full flaps when it ran out of runway and bounced up on the grass into the air. It flew normal once off the ground until landing then as soon as it touched the deck started wobbling side to side and I was unable to take off again.

Having trouble finding this trim click spot if someone could kindly screenshot where it is that would be great.
