📋 About This Mod

Unlocks Avril's F-104C Starfighter for use in Campaign and Free Mode, and gives it gun weapons and custom skins. Available in two variants.

This mod enables Avril's F-104C to be used outside of Free Flight Mode and arms it with 3600 rounds of main gun. Available in two variants: Model A and B.

===================================

F-104C -AV- Model A

  • []Main Weapon: Custom IEWS pod, 12 times usage. Lasts for 15 minutes with 6 minutes cooldown.

    []SPW1: MGP, 4800 rounds. Increased damage to that of A-10C's main gun.

    []SPW2: PLSL, 1300 shots. Stats unchanged, but you can keep the "Guns Only Bonus" in mission results.

    []SPW3: Custom MGP, 2800 rounds. It has high damage and area-of-effect, but with a slower fire rate and lacks regular guns' Raycast data (basically bullet distance-to-target hit modifier), so more precise aiming is needed.

    The previous version of the custom MGP is available in the mod archive, in case you prefer that one. It has a wide hitbox and no area-of-effect, but you can aim it more leniently.

    F-104C -AV- Model B

    • []Main Weapon: Custom wingtip gun pods, 4800 rounds. Same stats as Type A's MGP.

      []SPW1: PLSL, 1300 shots. Same properties as Type A's.

      []SPW2: Custom TGTP, 25 drop requests. Has wide radius and high damage, but only useable if there's ground target within its targeting reticle.

    • []SPW3: Custom IEWS, 15 times uses. Stronger effects than Type A's main IEWS and stackable with another usage, but lasts only for 4 minutes and each usage also has 2. 5 minutes cooldown.

      This type is also outfitted with two main gun ports and a custom refueling port for flying boom system instead of drogue probe.

      Note: You need to switch back to Normal weapon first to change the TGTP's targets due to an unresolved issue with its game file's inner workings.

      ===================================

      This mod also restores the amount of this Starfighter's skin slots and provides them with custom liveries. The custom liveries are as follows:

      • []Slot 2: N104RB Red Baron paint scheme. Codenamed -Duc Écarlate-.

        []Slot 3: Trigger-dog themed livery. Based on ITAF's F-104 centennial livery of Arturo Ferrarin and Guido Masiero’s 19,000 km flight distance.

        []Slot 4: Mage Squadron tribute livery. Loosely based on ITAF's 102 Gruppo 25th anniversary F-104S MM6833 paintjob.

        []Slot 5: Spare Squadron tribute livery. Based on Luftwaffe's F-104G JBG 34's 25th anniversary paint scheme.

      • Slot 6: Strider Squadron tribute livery. Adapted from RAF's Hawk T1 Solo Display 2010 livery.

        ===================================

        The latest version of sincerity's Addon Compatibility Mod to use both versions of this Starfighter is now available.
