SYSTEMS
Almost all real systems have been modelled and working as the real thing
Flight dynamics modelled 99% close to the real aircraft;
Fully tested and validated by a qualified real-world F-104 pilot
Fully functional and close to real NASARR R-15, A/G and A/A mode with:
- STT (Single track target)
- LOCK-ON
- ATTACK
- GROUND MAP PENCIL
- GROUND MAP SPOILER
- CONTOUR MAP
- TERRAIN AVOIDANCE
Aerodynamic pitch up, inertia coupling and BLC system reproduced
Payload drop actually changes aircraft weight, balance and drag as well
Inertial navigator Litton LN-3 fully implemented
DDI (DYNAMIC DRAG INDEX)
The SSW F/RF-104G uses the Dynamic Drag Index concept; i.e. when you load/drop external loads not only is the GW changed but also the drag coefficient is affected and the model aerodynamics change accordingly. This is particularly important in the F-104 where external loads affect greatly the dynamic behaviour of the model.
SOUND SET
A custom sound set has been developed from scratch, using live recording to give you a full immersion into the Zipper environment. If you are a Zipper fan, you will enjoy staying outside and 'playing' with the throttle, listening to its unique voice.
USER BENEFITS
The model comes with complete docs including:
Three pilot checklists (normal, emergency, weapon procedures)
Zipper hints (a doc that helps the pilot to use it effectively)
NASAR R15A simple user guide
Original 700-page Flight Manual in PDF format
