It can be a pain setting the button correctly if you have a two stage trigger

Thanks
But after some flights I think I lost money with this
ILS/TACAN Sylvian's is free , also there are refueling gauges and carrier spawn for free.
Also the payware Captain Sim Weapos is more fun and can be modified and add many other effects and weapons, and can be added for all simobjects vehicles without restrictions or complications; Here's an example

The standalone version of Tacpack is a subset of the bundled version. If you have the Superbug with Tacpack if will work for everything that is Tacpack enabled. I do not know if the standalone version will work with the Superbug if you buy the Superbug later. That might be covered on the VRS forums. I have the Superbug and the Tacpack created for it and all the Tacpack 3rd party planes work fine with it.

I understand your feeling.
If you consider the "fun" part, it is true that CS weapons is much more easy use.
However, contrary to CS, TacPack is focused on realism, not fun.
The VRS F-18 with TacPack is the PMDG of the military planes. The IRIS A-10 with TacPack must be quite a joy too (I haven't installed it yet).
The main problems with TacPack are:
- it doesn't work with P3D yet.
- there are very few planes using it yet.
I hope more and more aircraft creators will create or update FSX/P3D plane to make them TacPack-enabled.

Is it work with DX10 Preview (SteveFX tool)?
Because:
Because:
- FSX DX10 "preview" mode NOT supported. Experimental features disabled.

I just bought it and it looks like a very smooth running added capability to FSX so far. My primary reason for buying it was Dino's F-35. I'm very impressed with the added features of the F-35 and how he has included them in the 35. Now we just need the new NSM/Joint Strike Missile included in the package....

Experimental features are the night vision effect and the FLIR as well as a pre-render and framerate limiter. These are all done with special hooks into the DirectX engine of FSX and as such the only version supported is DX9. DX10 could be done but its a much bigger challenge and they have other more important things to deal with....

Cool!
Understanding how to integrate the Tacpack takes a little - but once you get it going is relatively easy.
Best thing is that weapons performance is quite realistic - and works in multiplayer too.
By the way:
My F-14D Tacpack implementation, listed as "partial", is quite complete IMHO. Its main limitations are the fact that the weapons configurator is somewhat limited, FLIR is not supported ...and there is a lot of guesswork in the weapons system operation as, afaik, the weapons manual is still classified. Most other functions seem to work.
Also, there are plans to provide Tacpack functions also in the S-3 including the ability to act as tanker to other a/c...

I love seeing freeware developers playing around with that TacPack !
+1.
I should also mention I am really enjoying the Iris implementation of the TacPac A-10. It was a very nice aircraft to fly around and now it is great because you can blow things up with bombs and missiles while flying around!

I hope They will focus better on TacPack for incoming F-4 :] .
