It has been used only by the Tactical Air Command of the USAF. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This mod is intended as a general update of the F-104C model of Ajunaidr released some years ago. The FM is improved and now there are a new ogival nose, pitot and other details added via "fake pilot". There are 2 variants in this pack. Standard F-104C and the later upgraded variant of the "Vietnam era" with RWR bulges and SEA camo. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT!!!

@ SayWhatt: the speed values are in meters per second (m/s) For the original question: There are numerous value that limit the top speed in the FM. Other than the pure (imposed) limits like above there are others of aerodynamical nature like Florian said and others in the engine section. And here is hidden why most of the stock planes can't achieve their true maximum speed or acceleration like the real counterparts... (From A-4F engine section) AltitudeTableNumData=27 -------> means there are 27 values for the altitude/thrust value AltitudeTableDeltaX=609.6 -------> One every 609.6 meters of altitude AltitudeTableStartX=0.0 -------> It starts from 0 AltitudeTableData=1.000,0.952,0.906,0.860,0.816,0.773,0.731,0.691,0.652,0.614,0.578,0.543,0.509,0.477,0.446,0.416,0.388,0.361,0.335,0.303,0.275,0.249,0.227,0.206,0.187,0.170,0.000 -------> so at 0 meters the trust will be the nominal value and gradually decrease with the altitude. DryMachTableNumData=12 -------> nearly same as above but in relation of the mach number. DryMachTableDeltaX=0.1 DryMachTableStartX=0.0 DryMachTableData=1.000,0.968,0.952,0.948,0.955,0.975,1.006,1.046,1.098,1.160,1.231,0.000 -------> Here as you can see the table say that at Mach 1 your engine will give 120% of the thrust than at 0 speed but just at Mach 1.1 it drops to 0!!! so it will no generate thrust at that speed. MaxInletTemperature=120.0 -------> Another important factor for supersonic planes is the inlet temperature limits. That's about Mach 2.2... If beyond your plane will be soon on fire. :P

Thanks to you ALL!!!! Grazie per gli auguri!!!

Nice work!!! Thank you Julhelm!

Doh! This happened again since I'm using a older patch for my mega install. Sorry guys. Now I will reupload the corrected tanks. New version uploaded.

Yup! No more tractor beams. :-)

Ehm... I was doing some kind of upgrade along with Paulopanz for the Aju 104 but the project slowed down for the skins. Anyway I'm not having so much problem with those early 104 after deleting some parts and adding new ones where needed. Just some screens. Maybe I can upload all the A, C, and D and F models. Some additional skins can be added later. Let me know.

F-102 for the turkish too. Plus the TuAF had a huge numbers of F-100C too. And I would suggest RF-84F for the greeks as well.

Hi, the problem you have with the F-16 and F-35 is due to the relatively high difference in engine rpm from idle to full military thrust. You can see in the engine section of the DATA.ini files. As comparison most of the stock planes uses the J79 rpm setting and the real engine itself idle at around 66 to 68%. To be honest the sound issue is worsened by the use of only one engine sound unlike in FS world. For the second problem it always been like this from day one. The AI planes don't play the spool. Maybe for the sake of simplicity.

Happy again!

I think the Aussie flag on the G.222 was applied during the operation at Timor Est in 1999 since they operated from Darwin.

Ed ecco come promesso il video della seconda visita. Ora aspettiamo le foto! Eheheheh

An the one from the other day visit. Much, MUCH better! Waiting for the photos.

Wonderfull place indeed. Here is the video from that day.

Piccolo contributo video di quella trasferta un pò sfortunata. A breve il resoconto di Operation Meiringen II effettuata ieri. Con molta, MOLTA più carne al fuoco!

Belle foto Giorgio! Mannaggia quanto vento che ci siam presi. E come al solito tanto per cambiare c'è sempre qualche motivo per cui non ho potuto usare il cavalletto con la videocamera visto che in questa occasione c' erano almeno 60Km/h di vento continuo con raffiche ad almeno 70 e più. Quindi i video sembrano presi da uno affetto da parkinson. Vedo cosa posso fare. In ogni caso salvo particolari imprevisti dovrei recarmi a Meiringen giovedì prossimo (sperando di non incappare in un' altro giorno di riposo).
