My wish is if you could implement the NWS functionality. Every start or landing with cross winds becomes a nervious dance on the runway. I bound a button for steering limits but when I used this function the nose wheel is blocked and can’t be used for steering any more. In the real F104 it is the button on the stick just above the shaker.
The F104 is my favorit and I love it. Thanks for whole dev group.
Thanks in advance

hello,
for some reason the frf external xml file contained an old-bugged code.
Try to download from here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/d2lbby8a053j9vo/ssw_FRF104.xml?dl=0
and set it into:
.\simskunkworks-aircraft-frf104g\SimObjects\Airplanes\simskunkworks-aircraft-frf104g\model.common
soon we will update F-104 releases.
apologize for inconvenience.

Same here. It loads on the runway and fire is pouring out the side of it. I can even takeoff and fly but the fire is still coming out the side of it at 90 degrees. This is on the latest version.
This plane isn’t in an “early” stage of development, it’s been on the marketplace since, what, December 2021? That’s almost year and a half. In that time, there have been
And that’s not including the evasive behavior of the developers in this thread. I KNOW simulator development is difficult. I KNOW it’s complex. I KNOW game updates break things. I KNOW that modeling subsystems and balancing them with temperature and pressure and friction and computational fluid dynamics requires a lot of brainpower and trial and error to get right. I KNOW that those troubles become exponentially more difficult when you have a smaller staff, smaller budget and limited resources. I know all of that. None of my points deal with any of those things-- they’re quality control issues. Pushing an update with the correct CFG files is well within the realm of capabilities for everyone from the top of the quality ladder all the way down to the bottom.
This makes me annoyed because I love the Starfighter. I loved flying it in FSX. I built models of it. I can tell the devs love the Starfighter too, but there’s a disconnect somewhere that’s keeping this release from being the best it can be.
it´s evry time the same problem. In updated file “ssw_FRF104.xml” lines 907-923 (Component ID=“MyFXSpawner”) are missing and I have to fill them with the missing content or replace the whole file.
By the way. Thanks for (I call it) fixing the non working TACAN. Now I can fly the official TACAN routes or TACAN approaches as published for Europe.
One thing I´m missing is to toggle NWS. Will that be functional in near future?
hello
replace the whole.

I changed the ssw_FRF104.xml file …and the fire has gone 
FRF-104 G NEW VERSION 1.3.6 RELEASE
New version will be available soon at
WHAT’S NEW:
Great… Thanks for the update. Just purchased it based on the fact that the F-104 was one of my favorite planes growing up, and all the support you’re giving here, so I’ll wait for the update from Orbx before I try it (I’m flying to Florida tonight for a couple of days for work, so can’t fly it anyway… I have a whole bunch of stuff I was working on that I’m now going to have to stew over in my brain instead of getting it done 
)
Just a quick question … I own the F104 model, and very good it is to.
So, why would I buy the TRF104 as well …what else does this offer other than an extra seat!
Has the sounds been sorted yet? As last time I flew it it didn’t matter if the canopy was open or not it sounded the same when I was on the ground.
hello I wanted to know if anyone has problems with the autopilot if I turn it on I can’t put the stick on nav if it’s off it goes smoothly how I switch it on the autopilot goes back to off
Will the updated version be available on the Contrail Webshop which is where I purchased it?
Hello,
guess no, Contrail disappeared from the market.
We can solve:
make an account on simmarket.de and send me your simmarket account id at help-desk@simskunkworks.it will send you a vendor copy for free.
hope this helps

are you sure ?
they still sell some of your aircraft
Have downloaded the new version, Radar works…to a fashion!
I have the sweep lines…but never see any returns on the radar …do I have to do anything extra to get the radar to function fully?
(I have seen images of the working showing ground returns etc so I believe its possible)
..Hopefully I have just missed soemthing when setting up the cockpit!
The radar has a couple different modes. 2 or 3 ground mapping modes and an air-to-air mode. There is a knob on the left side console which changes them. For the ground mapping, only certain areas are covered, so if you’re outside of these areas, the screen will be blank. In AA mode, AI aircraft will show on the screen as dots.
Good morning,
I would like to propose a small update/enlargement of your TF104g and FRF104g products: the possibility of alternatively mounting the sidewinder missile rails on tip tanks. This addition should not conflict with Asobo directives.
I add a comment regarding the radar function of the two products: on my system (i9-9900X 3.50GHz - 48GB RAM - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080Ti - HD SSD - internet connection: fibre) if I use the radar in cartographic function and the autopilot at the same time, within 20 minutes a CTD arrives. I would suggest discovering the air-to-air functionality of the radar from the WebSimMSFS.icon.exe and integrating it directly into the basic products, while it might be useful (in order not to further overload the already considerably heavy network access of MSFS2020) to sell as an external downloadable package the maps that are currently provided through the aforementioned add-on program.
Best regards
