**Dino Cattaneo** · July 31st, 2013, 05:12

I have not posted an update on my project for a while here at SOH... so here are few pictures to show you where I am. In short, F-35 and F-14D will receive an udpate with several fixes and improvements....and limited Tacpack support. The S-3 is making some slow - but steady - progress...

happy to see the new paint schemes added to the F-35! Great work! Waiting with anticipation for Tacpack update to be released so you and other devs can release your tacpack enabled work

Really appreciate the update Dino. The improvements on your F-35 and F-14 will only make two great aircraft even greater. Thanks

Looking forward to finally having other models to operate alongside my VRS, it's always to have options that happen to one's favorite aircraft (Tomcat, but did get a ride in the War Hoover).

Well,

in multiplayer I believe the Superbug will still be a (much) better choice than the Turkey (BLASPHEMY!)... but le me elaborate that a little.
In my rendition - due to lack of resources and time - while the weapons are functional the launch modes will be limited (e.g. AIM-54 will be practically useless)... and other systems like RWR will be vastly simplified.

At the moment, for example, AIM-9L can be launched only in visual boresight mode...

As far as I can tell from my sources, Aerosoft's F-14A will be a much better rendition, at least in that respect.

Similar limitations will apply to the F-35...but given that the real thing is just starting the weapons intergration stage we can call that a "realistic" rendition...

Outstanding work Dino! Looking forward to the update!

After your posts in my military ops thread, I have been reading up on Tacpack and I am about to purchase and see what I can do with it. I have several SAM objects, mobile and stationary that I would love to have as targets and to have shoot at me also. Also APCs, Abrams and other armored vehicles that would work.

**Dino Cattaneo** · August 2nd, 2013, 08:29

I hope I have not oversold the VRS Tacpack then!
It is not so flexible for ground objects as it is (or,better,*will be*) for aicrafts - but is a very well written expansion which does a great job providing some much wanted functions for military aviation fanatics like me...
