Best way to do installation of 1.1 in empty folder, check files and manually uninstall all this files from FSX folder.
Next step is install 1.2 v.
I did like this.

Maybe David can clarify this for us, are we better off uninstalling v1.1 first or is it OK to install v1.2 over v1.1?

I sent a similar ticket to Simmarket. We'll see how fast they respond.

I did the same and what you have to do is buy the aircraft again.. you wont be charged as long as you use the same account you used to buy the old version.

"UPDATE OFFER
If you previously purchased IRIS AIRFORCE SERIES - TACTICAL AIRLIFTER at simMarket, you are entitled for a free upgrade. Simply purchase the product and you will not be charged. NOTE: The special upgrade price will be awarded automatically, therefore you must be logged into your same account used to purchase the previous version! If in doubt contact simMarket support first! NO REFUNDS GIVEN! "

"You might keep version 1.1. I have reverted from 1.2. to 1.1. because of frame rate drop with 1.2. Please note, it´s probably my computer setup and it is not really bad, but it feels
that 1.1. is more stable on frames. Happy to have it anyway, great add-on."




You are not alone. The same. I see fps drop near of 30% in 1.2 vs 1.1.
Maybe optimalisation patch is needed?
 
@Yoyo

When I saw the requests for all the FMS's to be lit up and the copilot figure, was worried that there might be a frame drop.

Ad 1/ Yes, yes, yes for TacPack ifr option! :applause:

Ad 2/ not very necessarily, perhaps it will have big impact for fps, now is very good with fps.

Thank You David!

Me too. Just I think - the problem of FPS concerns 2 new and independent MFD. Figure and HUD without FPS impact.
 
Simmarket closed my ticket today pointing to the "free upgrade" purchase option (which pointed me back to what I already have). They obviously missed/ignored what I wrote them which explained everything in detail. No biggie, will just wait it out which I'm sure will be rectified soon.

<fingers in ears> La la la... lol.

Actually, you can do two things to improve performance in 1.2 in regards to the screens. Either you can reduce the pixel_size value in the panel.cfg from 1024,1024 to 512,512 or you can comment out gauges from the VCockpit03 section.

VCockpit03 controls the Copilot's MFD, FMS and standby FMS. It was added in 1.2 to allow you do customise the co-pilot's MFD and not affect the pilot's MFD. So removing the section will remove the Co-Pilot's MFD, and two Co-Pilot FMS units and should increase some performance.

The Copilot model can be removed via the FMS/SYSTEM PAGE/AC CONFIG/ page. :)
 
On the subject of upgrading, you should be able to install 1.2 over 1.1 without an issue (I did it here). Though if you want to make sure you don't leave any unwanted files around, before installing 1.2, just delete the IRIS Battlefield Airlifter folder from your Simobjects/Airplanes folder first.
 
simmarked does not seem to have the updated V1.2

I am originally purchaser of the previous platinum series C27 and received an mail by simmarket about update on Tuesday 30. September
filename iris_airforce_tact_fsx.exe with file size 222 MB Installer downloaded today says V1.1

If you bought from simmarket you have to buy the plane again from the same account you bought the old model. It will recognize your account and you won't be charged. A new order will be created in your account with the link to the new version.

Thanks! I confirm this method will update your account with version 1.2 of the C-27J. Just got to the Iris page at Simmarket and select the Battlefield Airlifter and add it to your cart then check out and purchase it. The charge will show 0.00 before you select the buy now button. From there, version 1.2 will appear in your orders.
 
Just ran a little test flight with 1.2 and it went very well. I really like the way the VC's displays are populated now and the Co-Pilot option. Regarding the FPS loss, I noticed only a tiny hit(if any) with some FPS fluctuation but overall this did not affect the smoothness/stability of the visual performance. So far as I am concerned, the Battlefield Airlifter update as a whole is a successful done deal!
