Anyone know if you need FC3? I looked around, but couldn't find whether you need it or not stated anywhere. Also I assume you do as I'm pretty sure I downloaded it correctly, but when put into a mission editor I could not fly the plane.

Yes you need FC3 or at least the F-15 for F-104G and F-104S. For the F-104S AG you need the SU-25T.

This thread is not the mod thread so you might not get an answer. Unfortunately the Mods section of DCS forum could use some caretaking and modders should place their mods in correctly named threads and make them clear to understand and download.
This mod is actually  found dumped here:


And the download link is a mess.
Why someone would be so careless with his own work is a mystery to me.

Ok thanks so much for clarifying! I believe the SU-25T is the one I didn't try spawning in with (of course lol) so it should work in theory since the frogfoot is base game, right?

In case you may not be aware, there is a minor(?) patch fixing the FM. Link in the video below:

How to solve a problem with textures, you can not see?

You need to be a bit more specific than that...  😉  I suggest reviewing the installation instructions.  It's easy to miss something, especially if you aren't installing in the correct user/Saved Games folder.

Downloaded this mod yesterday and read the instructions.

Easy installation today, just extract the zip, copy the F-15 settings and reverse the axis for the thrust. I had to change the controls for the engine from left/right to the common thrust and engine start. As well as the controls for the flaps for the take-off/combat setting. That's all.

The Starfighter flies easier than expected, first landing was successful, thanks to the instructions. Mach 2.2 @ 50000+ feet. First flight left a pretty good impression.

Great work ! 👍

My experience was much the same as Lynnux here.  Awesome work by the team!  This is a great mod and a lot of fun!  

 

Last night I tried to go guns on an F5 and boy howdy she's not a dog fighter.  I know, she's not meant to be.  You pull past that 15 AOA and you'd best be stepping out of the jet.  It's a lot of fun and a challenge though.  How'd that phrase go that was coined by a Starfighter pilot at Edwards?

"Banking with intent to turn."

Not a rate fighter LOL.

 

At a young age I remember seeing pictures and video and of course the movie "The Right Stuff" and I've been a fan ever since.  I made some changes to my copy to make it more of an F-104C version and did some UI stuff.  I'll share it here for anyone that's interested.  Thank you VSN Team!!!!

Does anyone know how the Kormoran missile is working ?

Since the German F-104Gs have no A2G-Version (VSN_F104G_AG has been removed in the Oct 2021 version) I have no clue how to get them working in the F-15 version... or am I trying something that's not supposed to work yet ?

EDIT: Just saw on YT, anti-ship missiles currently only for AI.

As you may know, FC3 based mods are often limited to some of the default sound effects.  Typically a combination of F15C and SU25 effects.  Changing these will affect not only the default sound effects but other FC3 based mods.  That said,  I've replaced the engine, cannon and canopy sound effects with some others that can be used for the F104 or F22 (which is what I originally changed them for).  Use a mod manager or place the "Sounds" folder and its contents into your SAVED games folder.  And then of course if you want to use some other sound effect just overwrite the ones that are appropriate.

Hello, I have a question if you are so kind... I extracted the file for the vsn 104 but for some reasons I go to the mission editor or to the instant mission and when I launch the mission I can only see the plane from the outside and driven by AI. I cannot get in the cockpit or move any surface of the plane... I have done all by the mission editor correct (set to "player" or "client") and it works with the f18 or any other plane, mods included (like the tornado) for example. And yes, I have FC3 installed! I also tried to clean dcs with the procedure I read in the support page. If you have any suggestion would be great. thank you very much!

ps. tried with the open beta and the dcs not beta because I have both installed but nothing, same result...

pps. installed correctly in my saved game\dcs\mods\...

Can you elaborate a little bit more please? AFAIK these should be included already in Windows 10/11...

Ok, got it fixed...seems like Module Manager kept it deactivated by default.
