Same issue here Roger. It appears the new version is now for sale at the Flightsim Store however my account only shows a download link for the original. I've emailed them to see when/if they're planning to upgrade accounts of existing customers.

The name has changed (Iris_Airforce_tact_fsx.exe) , and so has the file size! Downloading now!

Quick question for David regarding the VC on the model, I see that some of the different pedestal display units are black indicating they are either not on or the gauge/placeholder texture are not in place. Searching through the manual, I did not see any reference on this or if there is an option but noticed some of the buttons on the center & right FMS are clickable but with no function. Is there a way to enable these displays or at least get the placeholder appearance of the original version?

Looks like the updated model is at the Flightsim Store, same name for the downlink but the file is different than it was a few hours ago!! I believe iris_airforce_tact_fsx.exe is correct? Will know upon installing no doubt.

I didn't know there was a specific licence for P3D. :/
I have installed the newest version in my P3D v2.3 (I don't use FSX anymore).
The plane works quite well but I found a small issue: during the approach for landing, I had some error popups (the sim didn't crash) about some missing sounds files with a name containing "PC-9".
From what I understand, the C-27 or one of its gauges is trying to use a sound from the PC-9, which is not installed in my P3D.
From what was written here a bit earlier, I understand I can buy the P3D version of the C-27 with an interesting discount, because I had already bought the FSX version. But will this issue dissappear if I buy the real P3D version ?

Same issue on my side.
Also, in the original version, there was a 3D copilot, right ? How can we activate it again with the newest version ? (or is it again a problem because I don't have the P3D version ? )
A couple of other things ive notice
There appears to be a model missing, there is no AWAC model as shown in the screenshots and the GPS gauge fills the screen and the model randomly bounces in sets of 3 occasionally while sitting idle
the FMC is difficult to read while in the chair, maybe a pop up window or new view
no options menu like the previous version?

Matt, the AWAC and Gunship models are available within subsets of the FMS menu as are many other options. I agree, the GPS gauge needs to be sized down a bit.
cheers found it, just trying to read the text without having to zoom all the way in is proving to be lesser than enjoyable, it needs a popup or new view
