FSX RNoAF Lockheed F-104G Starfighter

This specialized repaint depicts the Lockheed F-104G under Royal Norwegian Air Force (RNoAF) 334 Squadron insignia, bringing historically accurate markings and color details into Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Created by Henry William, this package requires the separate payware Alphasim F-104G model. The textures rely on the official Alphasim/Frank Safranek paint kit, ensuring authenticity and streamlined integration.

Heritage within the Norwegian Service

The Lockheed F-104G, often regarded as a high-speed interceptor, played a key role in various international air forces. Under RNoAF 334 Squadron, its primary objective was advanced interception and air defense. This freeware repaint reproduces Norway’s unique camouflage and insignia, paying attention to the subtle variations in stenciling and national markings.

Accurate Visual Features

The exterior textures incorporate enhanced normal and specular maps (terms describing surface detail and reflective properties), emphasizing rivets, panel lines, and fuselage contours. This design approach amplifies realism, especially when flying in different light conditions. Additional shading and weathering effects highlight operational wear typical of the RNoAF fleet.

Technical Notes for Installation

• The Alphasim F-104G payware model must be purchased separately, for example from a reputable source such as SimShack, before installing these textures.
• All files provided seamlessly integrate with the Alphasim paint kit, originally authored by Frank Safranek, ensuring compatibility and high-fidelity visual results.
• Simply follow the standard repaint installation process by inserting the texture folder into the aircraft directory and updating the configuration file accordingly.
