Anyone know the major dofferences in the various f-4 packs. Which one??

There are two Phantoms:
- The F-4E
- The F-4J and S

Each pack has two versions:
- normal, with TacPack
- Advanced, with even deeper realism level for all systems. This is an ADDON for the normal pack, not standalone !!

Here is a copy from the Advanced F-4S package description:

The Advanced Series F-4E module is not a stand-alone add-on. It extends the functionality of the MilViz F-4E Phantom II. and as such, that aircraft is required for this release to function. It is also compatible with the existing TacPack add-on for the F-4E, but does not require it. The Advanced Series F-4E module does not function nor is it compatible with the MilViz F-4J/S.

Well, first of all decide if you want Air Force or Navy (i.e. E or J/S). Then decide if you want the ADVanced models (more demanding/precise FDE, systems, failures modelling and much more). Finally there is Tacpack. For the E you can add Tacpack on the basic model or the ADV. For the J/S Tacpack is included in the ADV version and can not be added on the basic.

Hope it helps.

Thanks guys, now the F86 is looking tempting. My two favorite fighters. Decisions, decisions..

Both are excellent and surprisingly light on the FPS !
I own all F4's, the F-86 and the F-100. They are all beautifully made and very pleasant to use. The virtual cockpits are on par with the external models => superb.
So it's really up to your preference.

IF you don't have F-100D, you haven't lived in FS heavy metal yet...probably one of the best addons for all FS. IMHO.
