303_Kermit Posted September 17, 2020 Author Posted September 17, 2020 I'm too much of a "thrust monkey" and would want the ultra rare F-104A with the J79-GE-19. "thrust monkey" LOL I like that :-)
Ikaros Posted September 18, 2020 Posted September 18, 2020 The F-104 is awesome, I would love one in DCS. :thumbup: 1
OPEC Posted September 18, 2020 Posted September 18, 2020 For those that mostly like flying computers here is an interesting perspective from one of Israel's top Aces, Giora Epstein comparing the differences between the older analog Mirage III and the modern fly by wire F-16 @42.09 min towards the end. And he is right. If I compare the Cat to the F-18 - you have to feel the cat in order to fly it properly. Much more fun. But I would choose the F-18 over the cat any time of the day for flying a mission. Why - for the computers. It makes things so much easyer having all infos where you need em.

It progresses rapidly with the speed of the Tornado development progress. It will be released at the Tornado release date. Support your local Getränkemarkt.
kotor633 Posted September 18, 2020 Posted September 18, 2020 It would just be another useless module. ************************************** DCS World needs the Panavia Tornado! Really! **************************************
Conroy Posted September 18, 2020 Posted September 18, 2020 Not only the G, but at least also the S. In DCS we could have maybe the ASAM as "operative" solution (F-104 S-ASA-M). I did serve for an ASAM FG, so i would say yes. It would be however just a target in DCS, but it was operative also during Bosnia - Kosovo.....so.... A "newest" Starfighter just taking service as ASAM (1998-1999).
fatboy Posted September 19, 2020 Posted September 19, 2020 Very niche and interesting but at the end of the day i think there is so many other aircraft that would be better for DCS. We have a long enough wait as it is for the aircraft we already have in early access to be finished. It's a cool aircraft but it's a no for me.

PeeJott17 Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 The F104 would make great AC against MIG19/21.... And it would fir in the same time frame as the A4... I would love to see it coming to DCS... 1
Rudel_chw Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 It would just be another useless module. Then just don't purchase it .. It may be useless to you, but surely other people may enjoy to fly something less computerized than the "latest and greatest" :) 1 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB
FlankerKiller Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 Honestly I will buy almost any early cold war era jets up to and through Vietnam. I truly wish we could do in depth simulations of combat operations from that time. Everything from Mustang's to F-4s shared the sky. I also honestly believe that it would give the online players that are tired of SPAMRAMs somewhere to go. Each airframe was unique, and truly had to be flown to its particular strengths to be successful. So yeah I'd buy this. It would go well against the Mig-19, and 21 we already have. 2
303_Kermit Posted October 15, 2020 Author Posted October 15, 2020 It would be great to fly a mission MiG 21 & MiG19 vs F4 & F104. I'd kill for that. I just don't know whom .... :joystick: 2
bies Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) I would prefer earlier lightweight hot rod variant F-104A or F-104C, which saw actual real combat in Vietnam, about 8000 combat flights, and was amongst best fighters of it's era. But overall - F-104 anyday. Edited October 16, 2020 by bies 3
Baco Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 yeap, right now DCS is a sandbox that alows you to "feel" aircrafts as best as they can be modeled... well lets have iconic planes to feel then... not more FBW tech planes you operate but you don´t reallly fly ;) 1
303_Kermit Posted October 17, 2020 Author Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) That's exactly what I think! I bought F18, M2000 and all other stuff, but all i fly ist MiG 15, L39, MiG19... They're so much fun! I am sure that my next plane will be F86 rather then F16 :-) :pilotfly: Edited October 17, 2020 by 303_Kermit 1
PeeJott17 Posted November 12, 2020 Posted November 12, 2020 I think F104G would be the best variant, since it really could do a lot. And it would be challenging to fly...real aircombat where you have to fly your plane to its strengths... Of course I do like my F16 as well, but that is a totally different type of aircombat. And I think with the addition of the Mig23 and Mig21/19/17 already there, the F104 is a must have, right next to the F4.
303_Kermit Posted November 12, 2020 Author Posted November 12, 2020 I do have almost every plane in DCS - except of Spitfire and JF17. I fly all the time, MiG-15, MiG-19 , L39c Albatros ... maybe I'll add MiG-29 ... I wait for F4 and F104. Probably i'll quit flying all other planes if I get one those two.
ollk22 Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 Folks was there not an F104 mod for DCS? To all the haters. Just sod off lol... It was a beautiful plane designed by a true master. Pilots loved the aircraft (including German pilots!) but also respected it and realised it WOULD bite you if miss-treated. Hope to see one fly one day but the only reason they are so hard to keep airborne these days is not down to the aircrafts complexity or reliability but the aging ejector seats losing their certificates
OnionSpider13 Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Give me an F-104 with the full ZELL system and I'd buy it on Day 1.
