    Great Mod! But for me, the Rudder Axis does not work for me. I checked the Guide, Key Bindings... I didn't find anything what resolving the problem! Am I overlooking something?? I fly this Mod in MSFS2024 and Version 1.3.10 from the Starfighter is installed.

    Make sure that you don't have duplicated rudder pedal axis in your control hardware. This could be causing a continuous centering command.
    This said, the rudder travel (IRL) is very narrow, specially in flaps up configuration. ...And the NWS must be used on ground for taxing. These facts should be kept in mind.

    I've figured out what was the Problem. I had been using my rudder pedals separately for just left and right. That didn't work very well. I have to combine the Pedals with vJoy and Joystick Gremlin. With that, I've mapped my rudder and NWS to the combined pedals. Now it works!

    Will you do the same mod for the TF as well?

    Not planned since I don't even have the TF. But who knows, maybe in the future..

    Odd. Rudder/pedal axis and discrete inputs are considered. If your issue is with NWS, please, check the UserGuide.

    hi, can you fix some model troubles too? defog lever and pressure for the suit, and more importantly the turn switcher for autopilot all those stuff unclickable in ms24. and legs... they aren't flexing, aircraft like on the skis, no left no right banking on the ground, all i can it broke them on landing:) and this stuff have a limitation for brakes only when air brake opened, if not that thing strong and not overheat like that, i think:)
    about nws. is it really ask to press the trigger or only once depress it for toggling? if second i guess i need to change the logic in the controls from constant press to push toggle or release. why just not use asobo default way?
    thank you
    p.s. engine... in default ssw the fuel flow independent of altitude, and burn as much as throttle, probably rpm too. this one stop on 6 and get more only after speed grows enough, probably rpm dependency, but rpm stuck at 100%, at submach the fuel flow get down with altitude, when you at 2m, engine stuck and has no reaction on the throttle, and get lost power only after lost speed on g/aoa. is that all right?
    p.p.s. i was wrong about rpm, at hypersonic that thing go to limit 135%

    I'm currently in a flight where the AFCS won't engage. I have failures set to 0 so it shouldn't be due to that, but as soon as I flip the switch it goes back to off. Interestingly, later in the flight it started to engage, so something earlier in the flight must've been blocking it from engaging or was immediately disengaging it.

    Check the trim and flight control stick position. If they're inadvertently beyond the high-level force switch limits it will disengage. Pitch rate and Nz beyond limits will also disengage the AFCS.

    The aircraft can be maneuvered in CSS mode, but within some limits.

    Ok my guess is trim then, because I noticed it would engage again when I was going slower and had adjusted trim. Actually on the subject of trim, I've noticed that there is a left rolling tendency present since release. I can mitigate it with trim but thought I should mention it. Amazing work though!

    Hi, The problem occurs on both the S4 and the SU5 beta. I tried disabling the landing gear effect but to no avail. We are flying the F104 with your mod in 2 and we all have the same problem. It's strange that only we have this problem.
    I wanted to point out that while flying with the VR we noticed that the tips/pylon selector as well as the green stabilizer light are not clickable.
    Thank you for your commitment to making this aircraft more and more beautiful.

    this is wonderful! one of my favorites revived for msfs2024 ! does it work for the 2 seater too?

    Thanks.
    No, unfortunately it can't work with the twin-seater. It would involve a significant rework just to make it compatible.

    Maybe later, but it's not planned in the short term. However, other ADV aircraft are...so, stay tuned ;)

    Hi, I noticed that during take-off, the plane rests on the right or left wheel and tilts slightly, after which it is impossible to take off because the plane swerves to the right or left. Do you have an idea why this happens?
    Thanks and congratulations for the mod.

    Is it happening only after the last update?.
    Is the gear damaged when it happens?
    Try to disable landing gear effects in the Realism config file.
