Canadair CF-104 Starfighter (V1.0 by fireyoshiqc)

284 fireyoshiqc  8.9 years ago

A mostly accurate replica of the Canadair CF-104 Starfighter, a Canada-built variant of the Lockheed F-104G Starfighter.
Specs:
- Single turbofan engine to simulate the twin engines of the real plane (thrust is exaggerated in order to reach good speeds)
- "Tricycle" landing gear configuration
- 1 x front-mounted Chaingun (simulates 20mm M61 Vulcan)
- 4 x short-range air-to-air missiles (simulates AIM-9 Sidewinder)
- 2 x External fuel pods

Just like the real thing, it's very hard to fly. It flies well and very fast in a straight line, but it doesn't turn very well. Chaingun is fired with the main weapon button, and missiles are fired with the secondary weapon button.

If you have suggestions, feel free to let me know! :)

    @Buttertoastftw Sure, do I just need to remove weapons or is there anything else?
