About This File
Spanish Air Force Starfighters.
This mod offers my personal approach to the EdA (Ejército del Aire) F-104 series. It is not intended to replace or compete with previous packs. I recommend testing it before removing any older mods, as you may prefer one over the other.
Installation & Requirements:
Skill Level: Basic modding skills are required (copy/pasting and managing mod folder structures).
Process: Copy and paste the specific folders into your game's directory.
Required Files: You must have a "fake pilot" installed and the original Thirdwire F-104 cockpit from the base game.
Game Menu: In-game, aircraft are listed with the .EdA. prefix - Ejército del Aire
Fuel tanks- Tanks are just ini files. The mod uses tanks that are part of an aircraft lod.
Now mod uses an additional no-fuel tanks loadout. Simply, If you want to fly with a clean wing, choose from the loadout dropdown menu option - no tanks. You need this specific weapon in the weapons folder.
I have added new pilot model; although it is important to remember that this pilot work well with the provided C-2. It was never tested in another configuration.
All skins are in 4096x4096 format. You can easily resize as needed.
Paint schemes and decals represent historically correct numbers assigned to aircraft during their 7 years of service in the Spanish Air Force, for a specific year, squadron, etc.
Spanish Air Force operated the F-104G for only 7 years. Mainly in intercpetor role. According to sources, at some point, EdA Starfighters were flying training missions with a bomb loadout. Also, after acquiring the Viccon recon pod Starfighter was used in the photo reconnaissance role. For now, this package is delivered to you in this form. I will update this with the Viccon pod in later time. Although the weapon station is ready for the recon pod, it is not yet possible to use it.
Cockpit, in general, is a temporary solution, along with cockpit and avionics files. But for the new cockpit, you will have to wait a little longer.
Credits.
3d modeling, mambo jumbo like skins, decals, some effects, ini work, pilots, and seats model - yours truly .JH.
Soulfreak - original templates,
The original model - Bobrock, Soulfreak, and my shitload of work hours to bring it to this standard.
pilot model - I used few parts from GKABS and guuruu work.
light effects - guuruu
All weapons by Ravenclaw, you should have them by now, but I have included what is listed in loadout.ini.
I would like to credit the creator of BR 250 SSQ bomb, but not sure who made that weapon. It is taken from ludo.m54 Mirage F1 pack. SO it is compatible with Spanish aviation.
Cockpit repaint by Sophocles
Avionics by alfa2 and some work of Eagle114th
