    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Tacpack question

Hello,I recently purchased the Tackpac,and Superbug for fsx,and,I am planing on installing it soon,so my question is do,I need to reinstall all my third party Tacpack compatible aircraft again after installing Tacpack? or will the aircraft work after just the install of Tacpack?Thanks
 
Just yesterday I've bought and installed TP... well : Warthog by IRIS
had a problem : the loadout manager was out of service.
Solution: Warthog uninstalled and reinstalled with Tacpack ( IRIS
gave the possibility to install the product with or without TP capability.) VRS said :

Initial Setup

The TacPack should be installed prior to installing the Superbug (if you own it), or other TacPack-enabled aircraft. The reason for this is that many installers, including our own, may check for the presence of the TacPack in order to determine which aircraft components to install.

Conversely no problem with the other 2 planes TP enabled
installed in my FSX-Gold ( = Dino's T45 and M2M Mirage 2000):triumphant:
 
...well, you may need to reinstall the files or not depending on the developer's choice. There may be aicrafts out there which have different code for Tacpack and non-tacpack versions.

For what concerns my planes, freeware and payware, you do not have to reinstall (the code Tacpack code is there anyway). The only exception is the MB-326 which, by default, uses VACMI - you need to look at the readme file to activate Tacpack avionics.
