Hello everyone, I am posting this to share my personal experience with the VRS TacPack in 2026, as there is still a lot of outdated or conflicting information stating that the product can no longer be purchased or activated. Based on my own testing, purchase and activation are still possible for FSX Steam Edition, although the product is clearly legacy software. How the purchase link was obtained The TacPack purchase option is no longer visible on the current VRS website. To verify whether the product was truly discontinued or only hidden, I used the Wayback Machine (Internet Archive) to browse older versions of the official VRS website. By loading a version of the site from approximately one year earlier, I was able to: Access the original “Buy TacPack” button Click the purchase button as it existed at that time See the exact URL that the button redirected to That button redirected to the official VRS licensing page hosted by SoftwareKey, which is still online and functional. Official purchase link The purchase was completed using the following link: https://secure.softwarekey.com/solo/products/LicenseAgreement.aspx?ProdOptionID=13140 The transaction completed normally, and a license key (serial) was sent by email. Installation and activation Installation was done using the official VRS TacPack installer Activation occurred during the installation process No separate activation tool was required The activation required: License key VRS account email VRS account password (used as the activation password) After installation: FSX Steam Edition was started normally The TacPack menu appeared under: Add-ons → VRS → TacPack The product is fully functional in-sim. Important note about support The VRS TacPack is a legacy product and no longer receives official support from VRS. This means: No official technical support No bug fixes or updates Any issues must be handled by the user or through community forums Anyone purchasing it today should be comfortable using unsupported legacy software. Additional notes DX10 Preview is not recommended for stability TacPack only works with compatible aircraft (e.g. VRS F/A-18) Despite its age, licensing and activation are still operational Conclusion Even in 2026, the VRS TacPack can still be legitimately purchased and activated for FSX Steam Edition, provided the user understands that it is unsupported legacy software. I hope this information helps others who were unsure whether it was still possible.
