skunkworks...f-104 free

[yancovitch]

don't seem to be able to download the installer....says this app can't run on your pc...tried a few times, once with defender turned off..........any ideas?

From what I read from other users who "bought" that plane with this special offer, you'll have to pay special attention to the email you'll receive from SimMarket after your "purchase" ( ).

To install the plane properly, you have to follow these steps in this precise order: (PLEASE NOTE: these instructions are for the P3D version, so file names and version numbers may be different for the FSX version... should be easy to guess, though)
1- launch SSW.JF-FRF104G-Installer-P3D.4-4.1.1.exe (right-click and choose "run as administrator"). Ignore the prompt to enter an activation key.
2- launch SSW.JF-FRF-104G-Installer-P3D.4-TEXTURES-4.1.0.exe (downloaded from the SimSkunkWorks website, I think?)
3- launch SSW-VACMI-Core.Installer-P3Dx64-8.7.0.exe
4- launch the "keyless" install program SSW-keyless-installer-unified-v1.0.2.exe

I hope it will work

For those who didn't see the news in the Prepar3D section of the forum, there is TODAY ONLY a special offer on the SimMarket online store: you can "buy" the SimSkunkWorks F-104G for free

It's only on the 11th of April. Tomorrow, it will be back to normal price. So hurry up

you can see from the photo....i don't think the installer downloaded properly.....it's in two parts........tried it three times....
i tried the p3d version just to check, and it downloaded properly......i sent a ticket to simmarket..

Where was the option to d/l 3- launch SSW-VACMI-Core.Installer-P3Dx64-8.7.0.exe?

I certainly didn't get that. Seems to work without it though.

[yancovitch]

i installed the run time library as was suggested, and it installed, but no thumbnails...and landing gear doesn't work, and suddenly , it goes crazy...quite impressively crazy, with crazy music along with it, and crashes.....i didn't know how to uninstall, so i just removed the two files.....this is what showed on screen at the same time as the convulsions and music....

Had problems with the keyless installer not sure that it is working in FSX, the installer came with the download and is correct for fsx.

I had to download this new keyless installer version, it solved my install problem and activation errors.
SSW-keyless-installer-unified-FSX-v1.0.2 available from here http://94.177.167.28/public/simskunkwor ... .php/news/

The 2017 runtime files crashed my version of fsx, so if in doubt decline the offer to install them.

Hi folks,
I' m new in this forum but I have a problem with this plane.
My radar screen is always white and I see something written like " host 2048" and " error (-102)"
Quite strange...
I' ve tried to change the installer but nothing happened.
I' ve seen pictures and videos of very happy people, all with working radar !!

Does anyone have an idea to help me?

Thank you Lucame

Is the internet connected?

HI Dave,

I have in the FSX folder a folder called " SimSkunkwork" with two subfolder but I really dont' know what to do with them.

I' ve read something about a "Red Panda" app ( I've found it in one of the two subfolders) but I've thought it was only for the moving map of the Tornado.

I've noticed that if I delete the SimSkunWorks folder the display is getting dark with no error message but I'm not sure if the radar is working or not.


Thanks a lot Lucame

Red panda should have added an entry to the fsx dll so that it starts automatically with fsx, when you start fsx whlie its still windowed with the loading or aircraft selection screen have a look and see if red panda icon is showing up in the taskbar. It will tell you if its connected or not, if its not running if you clicked on it their was an option to manually start it.
I had to uninstall the aircraft due to a few problems with activating it, will need to have a look at flightsim and see if the installers have been updated.

I'd like to add I managed to grab the following aircraft when they were offered for free off of Just Flight back in 04/16/2020 (P3Dv3.4.22.19868)...

Sim Skunk Works PA200 'Tornado' (for P3D v3)
Sim Skunk Works Lockheed FRF-104G (for P3D v3)
Sim Skunk Works F-84F 'Thunderstreak' (for P3D v3)
Sim Skunk Works AV-8B Harrier II (for P3D v3)

The keyless installer shows as...

SSW-keyless-installer-unified-FSX-v1.0.2

Also have an keyless installer for P3Dv4 (for each aircraft)
