VRS TACPACK now standalone

Do the weapon effects/wep release show up in M/P? The biggest drawback to CS Wep X is that even though user have it installed, firing weapons don't show up and are replaced with the R22 helo.

Nice job on integrating the Hunter with TacPack.
 
I would hope that any attempts to use this addon in MP is done on a server
dedicated to that use. In the past, it seems, that when weapons were used
in MP, the simobjects created did NOT have a finite lifetime but instead resulted
in 'ghosts' being left on the server and they coul;d only be removed by a hard
reset of the server.

I think some servers forbid the use of this addon and require that it be disabled
prior to entering a MP session to prevent the 'ghosts' from overloading the server
and thus interfering with others session.

I was going to ask the same! We need a boomer KC-135 or KC-10 for the F-35A


I saw that the drogue KC-135 which is usable in tacpack is based on an old FS04 model by Rok Dolenec. I did a quick search on flightsim.com and several E and T models with boom came up. I'm off to test them with tacpack
 
aim_dc1030_crummy_mdl_pack.zip (basepack) and aim_kc10a_united_states_air_force.zip (textures) at avsim

kc-135t2.zip will add a static boom to the drogue KC-135T package, or it can be installed as a separate tanker

Good find! I will try it as separate model.

Edit:

Ok, I see Fixed boom, but cant refuel, dont know why (will try with A version).

Excellent views of weapons release. I don't think I paid much attention to the Hunter until now; very nice!

I am only keeping FSX installed at the present time because of the VRS Super Hornet and TacPack. I have moved my other favorites to P3Dv2. In particular I recently encountered a strange CTD which I am still investigating. My FSX only runs in DX10 Preview which kills my AI textures and some textures on flyables.

You can experiment with various tankers and what I have discovered is that some planes will not hold altitude very well or maybe it is my novice hands on the controls?
 
Ok, my foul. I changed something in TPM and hard boom works and give me some beer, ups, not beer for sure! Just Fuel ;)!

Trial integration of the TacPack into the Hunter. Just for fun.

Dave, I LOVE it!!! Please keep going with this! I'd also love to see some classic ordnance to go with this classic jet.

Have you also considered a P3D v2 job, modded with live weapons (Developers license)?

Is the VRS TacPack is compatible with CaptainSim Weapons? because I has used CSWeapon with previous version of IRIS A10. And now with the new one, when I turned on the Maverik with the video monitor I have CTD
 
When I beta tested the A-10, it was a completely separate install from the older non-TP version, so it should not cause any issues. Really no reason to play with the CS Weps, as now you have a more accurate A-10A+. No word on any helo additions yet, so your Mi-24/35 mod with the CS Weps should still be fun. Do you have the experimental features checked in the TPM?
 
I dont think they will work together. As far as I know only VRS developed weapons will work with tacpack.
 
Some features, like FLIR imagery, NVG emulation and HMD (superimposing the image over the geometry) are achieved by hijacking Direct X rendering...this is probably what is causing the issue in your system. This does work for the vast majority of the users, but may not work for everybody. I guess that turning the experimental features off will disable the video (but get rid of the crash).
This is unfortunate as the feature is pretty great.
 
I have CS Weapon and TacPack and no any problems - but for sure - not on too same aircraft! For example - I dont install CS Weapon for Super bug ;), Dino's F-35, T-45, F-14 (TP powered - deeply coding aircraft), but for the others - it can be work (example: guns, sidewinders on default Hornet - with CS weapon and Carrier from TacPack in too same time). No need to uninstall it. Perhaps You installed CS Weapon on Hog Driver II from Iris - aircraft with programing systems from Tacpack. It wasnt good move.
