Alright, I might get DCS too after all. Btw, if can be spoken about, does it come with its own cockpit?

Macelena, I hope so but I don't think so. Usually, VSN mods use stock FC3 cockpits. I hope this time I am wrong.

The rumor is that this is going to have its own dedicated cockpit and an external flight model. If the rumor is true and it eventually reaches the quality of the A-4E-C presently available, it will be a big deal. But with the exception of the T-45 and MB-339, no other mods have even come close to the quality and fidelity of the A-4E-C. So, I am not holding my breath hoping that this will be a top-notch mod.

It seems I was wrong. This means it will have its own cockpit

New trailer with some details:

As for my source: it is the VSN Flyable Mods thread at the official DCS forums:

And here is a bit of NEWS:

There will be a rerelease of the VSN_F104G/S Mod with a 3d-cockpit and with an EFM. It will take place in October, so I would advise to just watch this space 

 

But before, J.P.Ferrée has a little treat for you

On the 17th of september he will air the Trailer for the ReRelease, (which is pretty cool by the way) on his channel. Here is the cover of the Trailer:

A perfect, realistic aircraft is not promised. An individual, unique aircraft no longer dependent on the SFM or FC3 cockpits is what is promised. I suspect it will be released in a state not unlike ED Early Access: useable but with known bugs still being worked on and planned improvements over time. This is a big step forward for the VSN crew. I hope they ultimately end up producing A-4E-C quality mods, but I won't get my expectations up. I can only hope that I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of this upcoming F-104 release.

The old skins (exluding mine & Jocko415´s) will not fit for the latest 3d model.

There have been changes made on pylons etc...
