Unedited Review Colimata's F104 StarFighter.
Is it any good? Let's have a go...

The Luftwaffe called it "The Widow Maker" as 292 aircraft (and 116 pilots) were lost in just 2 decades of service.

Now in xPlane 12 December 2023, this review will highlight the good, bad and the ugly as we take it for a spin VFR style, over colorado mountains from Aspen to Denver.

Unpaid & unbiased I had to buy this plane at full price, just like anyone else, and with it are my honest thoughts & feelings. I do NOT claim to be an expert on the starfighter, I've never flown one, and have only seen them from youtube videos. This sim is a close to flying the F104 I will get.
