F-104G First Impressions and Bombing Tutorial

- The EFM version of the free F-104G mod was just released. @FSX404 has already done an excellent video on flying it as an interceptor so I thought I would do a quick video on using it in the ground attack role.
I'm glad I did. What a fun aircraft. You should give it a try.

The F-104 really exemplifies that era in aviation where air forces focused on one of two types of aircraft: those that delivered nuclear weapons and those that shot down aircraft that delivered nuclear weapons. There were a lot of interceptors made that only cared about going fast. Even the venerable F-4 falls into this category of extreme interceptor. But the F-104 absolutely looks like what it was made to do.
Eggggzactly. Flies like it too!
Same for the mig 21. You bank and scream why don't you turn
Great EFM and this jet really needs one. Flying and spinning the F-104S AG version of the mod & you do not need FC3 or the F-15C to use this mod. The F-104S AG uses the included Su-25T stuff. You just don't have air to air radar etc. A super fast handful & painfully good looking machine.
Good point. Thanks.
Are the anti-ship missles working in the AG version? In the Gripen mod there are anti-ship missles that you employ the same way as the anti-radiation missles. I was able to shoot the HARM that way, but couldn't get the Penguin working.
“The most amount of engine with the least amount of airplane”. Awesome :)
😃
Canadian Starfighters had a large Attitude Indicator front and center, with the PHI to its right and the ASI to the left. A smaller standby AI was located lower right of the main AI.
These machines were dressed for low level nuclear strike and ground attack.
I'd love to see more 1950s-1970s modules added to DCS! So many interesting planes, but that period seems to get so little attention in flight sims compared to WWII and the 80s onward...
Excellent flying, excellent instructor. Love to watch your flying lessons Mr.Christie.
So glad to hear that. Thanks for letting me know.
Genius!!! The starfighter ... one of my favorite planes !!!🙋♂️✈
We need a vietnam map for DCS, pity the community can't mod them
good stuff. I may need to pick up FC3 soon :p
Be sure to get the Grinnelli Designs' F-22A mod (clickable) and the DCS Community JAS-39-C Gripen (clickable WIP) after that as both also require the DCS World F-15C or Flaming Cliffs 3.
Oh my god...you're killing me. The F-104 was NOT designed to be an interceptor. It was designed for air superiority based on input from the fighter pilots (NOT interceptor) pilots gleaned from their experiences in Korea.
The US had the F-102, later upgraded into the F-106 for interceptor duties, and it toyed with the idea of an armed version of the A-12 (which, with an integrated second seat later became the SR-71) was calling it the YF-12, using the immediate precursors of the AWG9 from the F-14 and the Phoenix missiles.
Also, the F-104 can turn. It's not an F-16, but people don't understand it, and they think from looking at it that it can't get out of it's own way and that just is not true.
Thank you.
It's a Canadair CF-194 not a F-104G
CF-104
Wait a minute, F-15C doesn't have an air-to-ground mode, unless it has changed since I bought FC3. So how does the VSN F-104G (based off of the F-15C) do bombs? While we're at it, I'm also curious about unguided rockets
Not sure about the technical details. You can drop by their Discord server and ask. As for the rockets. They do work. Not very complicated. Pretty much point and shoot, but I may dona quick video on those as well, if I get time.
F-15c does have a built-in, extremely basic support for A2G but, by default, there is no keybind to go to A2G mode, and there is no A2G ordnance you can load onto it. You can easily hack around both limitations by editing some Lua files if you know what you're doing, but I doubt this'll pass IC.
Based on the F-15 ... so, what's the point then?
Different from many mods based on FC3 or P51, this one sports its own EFM and uses F15 avionics only, if I stand correct.
I believe you are correct.
