Hi Daniel,
I'm working on it, but it will take some time because I'm totally newbie on tacpack integration... I guess it 'll come with wing payloads in a v1.3

Regards,
Sylvain

Hi Sylvain,

Je peux me charger de le tacpackiser. Dès que les switches de l'armement sont actifs, je suis à même de trouver la valeur de la variable L: et de faire les fichiers TP... pour FSX du moins.

Cordialement,

Daniel
 
So I am assuming that all paints that have been done so far should work with new version, So I can add paints to new version and delete old version ?

And yes this is a fantastic addon, Thank You Very Much :applause::applause::applause:

Yes, all paints uploaded so far will work fine. They will be missing the small snippet of empty pylon detail added to the v1.2 paint kit on "Fuselage1_T".
But if you keep the missiles loaded you'll never notice.

Uploaded a couple repaints for the F-8J when assigned to VFP-63 at NAS Miramar in the 1970's. One more from 1980 to follow.

Frank,

I thought VFP-63 was a photo outfit. That F-8 looks to have gun ports on it.

Maybe this one for a model

Frank's painted them correctly.

VFP-63 had some F-8Js assigned alongside RF-8Gs as lead-in / familiarization capacities, as the there were limited numbers of the actual photo birds.

Do I hope that RFN does an RF-8G model? Without question, but that's a "fingers-crossed, dream of a lifetime" hope for another day.

I was stationed out there same time frame. Never saw a VFP F-8 with guns. Learn something new all the time. Thanks for the info.

Thank you Duckie. Another Miramar bird. She was on my list but I'm more than happy to turn my attention elsewhere.
Looking forward to this one being on the server.

Thank you Frank. As I mentioned above when I found this J I jumped on it. I try my best as I known many do to be true to the actual model. So, I’ve passed up quite a few great looking birds for want of the right equipment.

Here's one for Pete (Navy Chief). He asked me for a Crusader from Patuxent River. :encouragement:

I found this F-8J assigned to Naval Air Test Center Flight Test at NAS Patuxent River, Maryland.
In mid-1970 this aircraft was used for F-8 Crusader compatability trials on board the USS Midway following
the four-year modernization overhaul of the ship.
