"VRS Introduces TacPack and Superbug v1.6!
Upgrades Now Available for P3D v4 Customers

TacPack and Superbug support has finally arrived for P3D v5 with version support covering v5.0.31.35253 through v5.3.12.28072. The move from P3D v4 (DX11) to v5 (DX12) was a tough one. As many of you already know, the TacPack uses a number of hooks in order to provide its magic. These hooks are very sensitive, need to be done in assembly, and break if the executable changes in any way (e.g. 5.2 to 5.3). In addition, and constituting the bulk of the work, DX12 support for TacPack features like FLIR, A/G Radar, and full screen NVG needed to be completely re-written. In other words, this was no ordinary patch, and for those reasons and more, we unfortunately cannot offer TacPack P3D v5 support for free. The good news is we are offering free Superbug updates to v1.6 (for p3D v4 AND v5) provided your current Superbug v4 license is under maintenance. TacPack upgrades from v4 to v5 are $29.90 (reg $59.95). All license updates and upgrades to 1.6 require that the license being upgraded is under active maintenance.

The TacPack basic functions currently remain pretty much the same as they were in v4 with the exception of new support for dynamic lighting and a slew of much improved effects. However coming soon will be Aggressor AI that can perform a number of functions including BVR engagements, dog fighting, and wingman tasks. the AI will be scriptable via .tps files so that they can be programmed to appear and perfom actions in a repeatable way. The 1.6 Superbug has added dynamic lighting effects for both the VC and external models. Both products now feature remote installation management which allows end-users to deactivate installations (freeing up activation keys) without any intervention required from VRS. Yay! For a complete list of changes, please see the Superbug version History and TacPack Version History.

For more details, please see the Announcements topic in our support forums. If you have any questions related to upgrading or new purcahses, please create a new topic under the appropriate sub-forum."
