This the fourth iteration of the F-104BI and a big step up compared to all previous versions.
HISTORY:
A few years after the introduction of the F-104BI-C, providing great balance between power and versatility, the NSAF decided to accept a proposal from the aircraft manufacturer @JotaVe to enhance further its capabilities.
The F-104-D was born as a way to extend the lifespan of the F-104BI Starfighter for many years to come. The testing phase spanned from 1963 to late 1964 and the first F-104BI-Ds entered service in early 1965.
DETAILS:
The F-104BI-D incorporates innovative features such as a mid-air refueling probe,larger wingtip fuel tanks, a new braking input system for the airbrakes and improved avionics making It way more capable. This iteration comes equipped with new more advanced missiles. The missiles in question are the AIM-2A Hypersonic missiles with a top Speed of mach 6 and a smaller less heavy body making them perfect for the 6x hardpoints of the F-104. The Vulcan 20mm cannon from AlphaSpaceTechnologies has also received an improved cover making It less draggy for the aircraft.The F-104BI-D Is also a record setter as it's the first long range interceptor to have a max range of 2500+km in the DROO WARFARE ROLEPLAY making this an extremely important asset for long range missions. Aerial refueling can extend this already absurd range making this jet a Marvel of the 60s.
TO KEEP IN MIND:
Brake automatically activates the airbrakes when held fully.
The plane Is stable in Flight but might roll a bit to the side on take-off likely because of my missile placement so stay careful! And maybe rearrange missiles.
The cannon Is activated easily w the cannon AG.

Guys if It rolls at take-off it's my fault I placed the missiles a bit too fast and they not distributed equally weight whise...Just moove them if they aint placed well.
If you like the F-104BI-D please consider upvoting as this helps me a lot also suggestions are Always welcomed! Thank you all for the support!
@Livingg017 okay but Remember Life must go on you can't LET yourself down Forever be strong and live prosper friend. Sorry for insisting
@BeaconIndustries do you even know why didnt i join the discord? i do not wanna open the app because i dont wanna see old conversations i had with my girlfriend, the ending of the relation hurted me a lot and i am still suffering from anxiety and probably depression, so please stop asking me to join the discord, i will join when i consider it opportune
@Livingg017 F-104 Is the tip of iceberg buT me have study a lot for school so me slow tò upload new stuff
@BeaconIndustries he surely cannot fight with the F-04, i mean, it is impossible to carry that amount of missiles, that fast and with that maneuverability, i can literally dogfight missiles
@Aludra877 👍
@BeaconIndustries as long as you are ok brother, live long and prosper and may your studying go well!
@Aludra877 ye me ok but have so much tò study that I wont be able upload stuff a Lil while I have F-101 ready and some other projects mostly complete
Hey man, I just made a planet recently, would you mind checking it out? Also are you ok?
Live long and prosper
@AlphaSpaceTechnologies yes he aint even in It and he talks like if he even knew what Is going on
@Livingg017 theres a reason im not releasing any fighter jets any time soon. Beacon will be doing that. Anyways, I dont even see you in the rp discord server
@Livingg017 am Im not the real issue have you seen what Reaper(Krasnovian) has been making on Discord? U haven't joined have ya? He has tech comparable tò yours almost and soon Will become Better at aircraft cuz tech limit Will rise
@Livingg017 just max out heat tolerance for all parts. Its not a cheaty tinker given we have heat resistant reusable materials in real life
@AlphaSpaceTechnologies hmm, quite interesting, we should compare crafts and see which one is more capable, i will perform a record-breaking flight soon with the HF-01S with its new engines. ill attempt to get the record for the fastest non-refueled around-the-world flight in droo, a quite ambitious thing, hope that the craft doesnt melt like the previous one with the old materials
@Livingg017 I have hypersonic vanilla jets fighters too, so dw, you wont be uncontested😎
@AlphaSpaceTechnologies for example we could choose some kind of "government" people to regulate the tech development of every aircraft, so it all keeps balanced somehow. using tritonaerospace's missiles as a standard will also be fine
@AlphaSpaceTechnologies otherwise my mach 4.5 capable fighters will absolutely obliterate the battlefield in matter of minutes
@AlphaSpaceTechnologies yeah, but standardization is important right now
@Livingg017 I do like the standard missiles idea. As for tinker, I think it should be a case to case situation whether it's acceptable or not
i will also supply spare parts if you do so, i know you may probably be interested on the offer, but if you develop your own standard version of it please do not add more than 2 AAM and if you want to, a ventral pylon for extra fuel, and if you are interested further i can modernise some units to have better engines and performance
idk how much are this f104… 8 million says the craft info. the HF-01 is about 45 million new, but new ones are not for sale, Mk.1 ones are about 20 million so: for each HF-01 you want, it will be 2 f104's and you earn 2 million in material benefits, i think that this offer can be a fine business
@BeaconIndustries tell the other guys that i am planning to export Mk.1 HF-01's to fellow allied countries for a reasonable price, if anyone is interested tell him it is the early version with the big nose cone, if you want any i will be pleased to trade some for some f-104s of the highest standards you can offer
@BeaconIndustries i am working on a new engine prototype for the HF-01S that will vastly improve fuel efficiency, at least it will be three times as efficient as it now is, without losing any power. Fuel has always been a problem on my crafts and with this new engine development i will be able to reach anywhere without refuel, even if fully afterburning. i will be also working on a huge transport gyrodine, with STOL capabilities, with cargo holds the size of a medium cargo plane such as the a400m and a design similar to the mil v-12 helicopter but with turboprops for cruise flight. apart from all this, i am near to achieve a supersonic propeller driven aircraft that will allow for unprecedented cargo delivery speed and economy, but the information related to the aircraft is classified
@AlphaSpaceTechnologies i was going to suggest some standard missiles so everyone has pretty much the same, anyway the no tinker purpose was to prevent people to build irreal missiles and similar
