I remember the Captain Sim version in FS whatever-it-was. Bit of a handful! 

Landing a missile could be challanging.

AMD Ryzen 7 5800x3d, MSI X570 Pro, 32 gb DDR4 3600 ram, Gigabyte 6800 16gb GPU, 1x 2tb Samsung  NvMe , 1x 2tb Sabrent NvME, 1x Crucial 4tb Nvme M2 Drive

Holy smokes. That looks promising. 

What a legendary airplane.

They’ve even got terrain following radar?

Impressed.

To be pedantic, that's their two-seat TF-104.

IIRC they are also working on a separate single seat F-104 but I think that's going to come later 🙂

Ohh I hope there's a RCAF livery. Though I'm sure someone will make one if there isn't.

I've been waiting a long time for them to do an updated version of this! Day 1 buy.

So I think it was last week I was saying that I don't really care about fighters in FS20,  but dig mil cargo aircraft.   I think I might have to walk that back a little.

Anyone have their Fiat G.91 for FS20?   Wondering about what to expect from them,   as devs go.

I know they will want to avoid putting AAMs on the wingtips because of that MSFS marketplace rule, but the thing doesn't look right at all without something on the wingtips, so I hope they'll be adding the tip tanks to it. This aside, it look very nicely modeled. Just hope they get the engine sounds right as well; the F-104 has an really unique engine note when it winds up because the big long tubular fuselage acts like a pipe organ. the sound is fairly unmistakable if you've heard one getting ready to take off.

That’s what I want.

Ha, that's the first model plane I ever built as a little kid, can't say I recalled that until I saw these pics today so I will have to get this one for nostalgia reasons or I guess maybe this will come my midlife crisis plane 😀

I'm hoping that, like their G91, there'll be options to mount weapons on versions that aren't sold on the Marketplace.

(Just an idle thought but does the Marketplace version of the G91 come with the external app to do things like set the PHI system data ?)
