hopefully tonight I will upload the set of three missions to the User Files section.

The file is now active:

only three missions for now, but hopefully I will add some more later as I’d like to do a training for the Radar employment.

best regards,

Hey Rudel, 

That fix makes things much better. The rolling moment is still there but much dampened, at least I can glance at the F10 map for a few seconds!

I really like this mod, but a couple things are very annoying.  

constant roll - there is no way to trim out in roll axis, either left or right.  not a payload or fuel issue as far as i can tell...

No comm in the air.  Comms only work on ground. Anyone else seeing these?

Just curious on how you got the livery made for the VSN F-104G to work with the F-104C?

Cheers,

John

John,

I'm back overseas, my DCS rig is in the states, but if I recall I looked at how the Italian skinpack ( https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3346706/ ) was converted and just used the same naming and edited the description file. Try it like this (going by memory so not sure if it will work..) make a copy of any one of of the Italian livery folders (I'll use AMI 3-35) rename it CF104G or something, copy and overwrite the CF dds files from the CF104G livery of your choice that have the same names. Then change the lines at the bottom of the description.lua from:

custom_args =
{
    [70] = 1, -- G=0 / S=1
    [803] = 0.0, -- AAR Probe
}

name = "AMI 3-35" 

 

To something like this:

custom_args =
{
    [70] =0, -- G=0 / S=1
    [803] = 0.0, -- AAR Probe
}

name = "CF-104G Camo"

When you get a chance, no rush.

Could you do a training mission for weapons: Guns, A2A, A2G. I ask because I'm not able to get any of the weapons to fire or get the firing reticle to show up on the HUD. I'm pretty sure I'm clicking on all the right switches, but for now I can only startup, fly and land this bird.

Thank you.

My next mission for the F-104C will be about radar employment, but it is still a couple of weeks away (assuming the C-130J does not release sooner, as I'm truly looking forward to it) 

After the radar I intend to do one on A2A Radar missiles, followed by another on A2A Sidewinders and A-A Gun. Air-Ground is less important to me, as it wasn't the primary mission of the 104C.

Thank you very much for the quick tutorial. I'll work on getting these liveries working on my end.

Cheers,

John
