Just noticed this on YouTube. Awesome/terrible sound:
I cannot express how much I want this plane in DCSW. Only the Phantom beats it in my book.
Any version, although I’d prefer a G or later. Maybe one of those Italian multi-role Starfighters… mmmh…
Here is a blast from the past…this one was for X-Plane 9 I think it was. Had a great flight model…including that roll off when you reduced throttle too much on landing and caused the Boundary Layer Control to shut off or reduce airflow asymmetrically (that’s a handful at a critical phase of flight…!)…
Check out my system specs back then too! 150GB Raptox X - suck it data hogs!
That’s the Norwegian LN-STF CF-104D.
It is such an awesome machine.
I think I have written about that time I got to have a couple of beers with a few of the first Starfighter pilots in the RNoAF? I remember they joked about the hardest part when transitioning from the F-86 to the 104 was to resist the urge to idle the throttle on final. ”That would make the aircraft roll over on its side, and that’s a bad way to land”
Never had those add-ons but if I recall correctly in my early days in military ATC (around the time all the century series jets were being replaced; -105, -101, -104, etc) those things came down final at like 180+ knots! Maybe more…my only impression was they were twice as fast as the T-38/F-15’s. Likely not but it seemed that way.
Holy screamin-demon Batman! Just got around to watching this. DCS’s sound engine would be the number one reason to get this thing. Not sure what else I’d do with beyond just making noise. But…
I completely agree. Same thing with the Yak 52. On its own, I’ve had fun with it. But the ten mins we spent messing around in multi crew was worth the asking price on its own.
The CE2 I’ve not flown as much as I thought I would. I keep kind of forgetting about it actually. I really must spend a bit of time with jt
