Juracaga MiG-21MFN in P3D 3.49

Hi all, this MiG-21 is one of my favorite planes. I have not flown it in a few weeks due to biz travel and schedule. Fired it up yesterday and found that when selecting armament etc, in the cockpit, the selection of drop tanks is no longer available.

Two things have happened since I last flew this bird.

1. I upgraded to P3D 3.49 (not the latest patch yet)
2. I installed Tacpack.

I have not installed the hot fix patch from LM yet as I understand Tacpack is not yet compatible. However I am noting that I cant load drop tanks. I am wondering if the MiG needs an update or if this is something else? the 21 is a short range fighter so I like to haul the extra gas.
 
There is a new version which is TP compatible and has systems modeling by Dutch. Is that what you are running? I have it installed works fine in 3.49 (no hot fix yet).

Actually, I do think I am flying the latest version because there is a tacpack.ini file. However when I looked at it, I didn't see any options for drop tanks as pylon choices (nor am I sure I should.)

The pop up for weapons selection is totally missing the drop tanks as an option, but I also did a test last night of trying it without using tacpack launched. And still no drop tanks, so I am thinking this is a P3D 3.49 issue?

Anybody else got this problem?
