FSX German Air Force TF-104 28+28

This repaint offers a historically inspired German Air Force trainer scheme for the two-seat TF-104 Starfighter, meticulously recreated by developer Hans-Juergen Kasper. It highlights the 28+28 aircraft assigned to Jabo G 33 (Fighter Bomber Wing 33) stationed at Buechel during the 1970s. Designed for FSX (Microsoft Flight Simulator X), this add-on requires the payware Captain Sim Lockheed TF-104 to function, which must be acquired separately. The specialized liveries in this package bring authentic markings and operational ambiance to your virtual hangar.

Distinctive 1970s Maintenance and Squadron Badges

The detailed exterior textures exhibit the unit’s emblem and attendant service stencils from the 1970s era. Every fuselage marking, including the German Air Force national insignia and the unique 28+28 serial, reflects standardized practices of that period. Each color tone, from the matte grays to the high-visibility markings, has been carefully applied to maintain accuracy.

Core Installation Steps and Configuration Notes

This package contains only the modified texture files. Thus, it is necessary to integrate them with one of your existing Captain Sim Legendary TF-104 texture folders. Follow the instructions below to finalize the setup:

• Create a dedicated directory named texture.TF104G_28+28_JABOG33 inside the aircraft folder.
• Place the included files there to overwrite any placeholders.
• Include the following lines in the aircraft.cfg and adjust the [fltsim.XX] entry numbers accordingly.

Additional Information on the Lockheed TF-104

The TF-104 configuration provided a side-by-side flight instructor station and advanced avionics suitable for training. In German Air Force service, it aided in transitioning pilots to supersonic operations. Its sleek fuselage, short wing span, and distinctive T-tail made it a powerful but challenging machine. Pilots who practiced formation takeoffs and landings at bases like Buechel would have relied on its robust trainer design.

Acknowledgments and Release Notes

All texture work is credited to Hans-Juergen Kasper, who brought the historical Luftwaffe scheme to life. The textures align with the Captain Sim payware TF-104 framework, ensuring consistent geometry. Since this repaint does not include the payware aircraft model, obtaining that separately remains essential. Ensure your simulator and add-on versions are current for best compatibility. Enjoy a piece of German aviation heritage in your simulator and experience the robust character of the TF-104 in a classic training livery.
