Does anyone know what is happening with the release of Tacpack for the Phantom?

Hello all Went back to my Triple 7 today after some time away: bloody hell that is a beautiful model! Well, I mention this because I notce that, apart from anything else, I get good performance on my rig despite this being quite obviously an extremely sophisticated and complex model. Forgive me, then, if the following question is a stupid one and incapable of being answered at this stage but I have no understanding of the technicalities of virtual modelling so please put it down to my ignorance. My question is: do you envisage the performance of the 747 version to 2 to be around the same, worse/better than the triple 7 using the latter as a benchmark? Thanks Neil

Thanks both

Hi Sorry if this is obvious and I just keep missing it, but can anyone tell me where the Avionics master switch is? Thanks Neil

Dear all My three year update time is here, and I have gone and ordered the following: Intel Core i7-4770 -- [7RPX5N] 1 SR 8GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1600Mhz 1 SR 1TB (64MB Cache) 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 1 SR NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 with 1.5G GDDR5 1 SR Operating System : Windows 8 64bit, English Now, the keen eyed amongst you will have noticed the graphics card is good, but not spectacular. 3 years ago I got a rig with a GTX 480, the bees knees at the time, but not for the first time discovered that spending out on such things makes not as much difference to CPU intensive flight sims as justified the expense. However, the news seems to be that P3D V2 transfers more effort to the card. That's worrying me now after spending out. What does the community think? How do you think my new rig will run it? Thanks all Neil

Thanks for the recommendation everyone. I bought the 310 and love it. But since n4gix has mentioned the issue can I take the discussion in another direction. With the free radio version I wanted to put my RXP stuff in there. I managed it in the end, the RXP 530 and 430, but only because of the work of community. I didn't know what I was doing and got there in the end by looking at the panel configurations worked out by various community members. My question is, why couldn't I use the RXP config tool? Sorry if this is naive and everyone already knows why but in my naivety I thought that that was what the tool was for, to place the avionics units in any aircraft. Also..........and I know you said 'no promises'........but the prospect of a version 2 is tantalising. I am pretty sure Id be up for it. Thanks again all Neil

Thanks guys

Only ok?

Hello all Felt I needed some retail therapy and fancy the C310. I like realism and detail and willing to pay a bit extra if necessary. Just wondered what you guys who on the C310 think of it as it is one of the older planes on the Milviz site now. Does it hold up against the latest titles and if not is there any other twin people would recommend (I have the Realair offerings and they are brill). Thanks in anticipation Neil

Thanks guys, food for thought. BTW, I see my topic is in twice. I thought this first post had failed because I had connection problems so did it again. Sorry moderator!

I wonder if you guys can tell me how you think this 777 may run on my rig given my specs. Is it worth spending nearly 50 quid if my rig is going to run it like a slide show. Thanks Neil

Dear all The heading more or less speaks for itself, just wondering if you guys can advise me. I've flight simming too long to spend nearly 60 quid on something, beautiful as it seems, that is going to run like a slide show. I've been there before too many times. I can't afford to upgrade, I'm a vicar and the Church of England feels its kudos will be too undermined if it materially over endowed us - my rig was the dogs balls when I bought it but time has seen it superseded many times and PMDG plainly considers that my vintage is now too creaking to get the most out of their designs. Anyway, how is everybody finding things with the 777 and is it worth me spending that kind of cash given the rig I have. I will appreciate all your views. Thanks in advance Neil

Thanks Ryan, Have received the necessary this morning and J41 up and running. I have no idea what has happened either. All I can say is that Ithought I had gone through the normal processes (which I have done before on a number of occasions without the slightest problem and answered - mostly by yourself - very quickly). One connected matter perhaps; I have had a problem where Simskunk kept trying to reach me without success and I had to resort to the website there as well. Not quite the same thing but odd nevertheless. Anyway, all sorted now, thanks again Neil

Ah, that is interesting. Having visited the support desk apparently I have submitted no tickets?? Beginning to doubt my sanity now. Maybe I've done something wrong?? Anyway, if Ryan is out there, I am: Neil Gardner, long term customer [email protected] Please help, just want to fly my J41

No, have looked in spam and junk and all that is there is the usual array of medications offering to keep a middle aged man's erection going longer...Hmmm, what have they heard? Neil
