TacPack usage

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to designate a laser target . I have the laser available but don't seem to be able to set it to fire ,so I don't have any Target info and time to release showing in the display. If someone could give me a step by step instruction I would be extremely Gratefull. Also if using GPS Bombs how do we know when to release the weapon . Thank you

Hello, when I create a tanker aircraft via TacPack and get close to the basket to refuel, instead of getting filled up with fuel all tanks of the F-14 get rapidly drained to 0 fuel and after few seconds the F-14 engines consequently go out (for the procedure the tanker's basket is extracted, the F-14's fuel probe is as well extracted and speed is 240 ktns. Once I'm close to the basket, in the Shift-1 HUD it is displayed SUMPING). I'm using FSX SP2 (v. 10.0.61472.0), TacPack (v. 1.5.1.1) and the F-14 extended V. 1.10. I tried to spawn a tanker using the aerosoft F-14's scenarios to see if it is working there, but all the scenarios are not working, even if I spaw…

I have never had this problem with any of my sim add-ons. While flying the F-14 (both from US bases and a CCP mission) about 10 minutes into flights at various altitudes and airspeeds the zoom of the VC view begins to pulse in and out. Then the standard straight ahead F9 camera view of the instrument panel turns to the right and then almost straight up until the only thing visible are the ejection handles at the top of the ejection seat. The hat switch on my HOTA control forces it back down but the view always goes back up vertical. Pause (P) does not work, zoom control does not work. The F11 outside view shows the aircraft going through uncontrolled altitude and pitch…

Hi, I can see there have been some comments in the forum about missing gun visuals. My visuals are missing. Is there a fix for this? David

Hi there, first of all, the F-14X is one of my all-time favourite addons and I am so glad to finally have it in P3Dv4! However, I think the tacpack signatures are incorrect, because I can not join any mp session without being thrown out by the anti cheating system of TP. Any chance to get correct signatures?

Are there any keystrokes to select AIM-9, AIM-7, AIM-54, and gun? I'd like to program that into my HOTAS but I didn't see anything in the manual saying there were keystrokes for it. I don't like having to shift-3 to select or using the virtual joystick. v6, boNes

What is the correct sequence for doing a scenario? Do I choose a scenario and just go from there, or do I have to hit Su-27 or Tu-95 and then choose a scenario? Neither seems to have spawned anything. Thanks. v6, boNes

I have fsx f-14 extended and Tacpack. I managed to work everything but I dont know how to use the LANTIRN and the radar. I didnt find any tuttorial videos please help me. Thank you

Hello. I got F-14 Extended With Tacpack and i cant understand how to use LANTIRN or the radar that controlls it. Please tell me guys. I Hope you help me

I have had the F-14X since the first release, and it's an excellent and amazing simulation of the F-14A/B, I was just curious if the developers had any intention of adding TacPack Carrier ILS capability to the F-14X. I realize that the developers wanted the F-14 to be able to have carrier ILS and TACAN capability without having to depend on the TacPack, so that users wouldn't be required to have the TacPack to simulate that. But I also know that in the 2.01 update the TacPack TACAN was able to be used by the F-14X, but for some reason it didn't include TacPack ILS, so you still have to tune to 57X on Javier's NIMITS in order to have ILS guidance regardless of the TacPac…

The things that are listed in this topic are not super important, although to me I would very much like them to be completely accurate, especially since it seems like it would be the least intensive thing to fix when compared to everything else that Aerosoft simulates accurately on this aircraft. This topic is mainly a request that the developers of the F-14x could fix these inaccuracies. Since you make mention of the NATOPS manual I assume you have and I therefore have provided the page numbers where each of the things listed below can be found in the F-14A NATOPS manual. The first pg. numbers shown for each section are the page numbers in my pdf version of the manual…

So, I finally got the Tacpack for use with the F-14extd (waited because I had P3Dv3 - and just updated to 3.2+HF)...using TM Warthog download and install went fine and in TPM I set trigger to button 0 and pickle to button 5 set up the drone tutorial in F-14 manual v6 was able to launch AIM-54 from backseat using launch button (splash) but in pilot seat neither the trigger or the pickle button seemed to launch the second phoenix (fired fine from RIO) Do I need to have something in FSUIPC (registered) to make the joystick button/trigger work?? If so, what? Anything else I am missing? could not find anything online for f-14x…

I am working on a gauge that can be added to the F-14 to read Both TacPack Tacans and ILS. It does not modify any Aerosoft gauges and works in both single and multiplayer modes.I will post a link as soon as it is thoroughly tested .

Hello and Happy New Year gents!... As the subject title states how soon for the long awaited Aerosoft F-14X FIX UPDATES Will arrive for downloads??? Sorry for being impatient but really? ...

Just bought this aircraft (nice!) but I can't seem to get TACAN distance/bearing info or ILS for Tacpack carriers at all. I can track a tanker or an conventional VOR just fine. But a carrier doesn't show up on my NAV. Here are some screen shots of settings as I fly over the Nimitz. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Phoenix max range is too short. It is same as Sparrow max range. Is it bug or is it normal behavior?

Hi all! I noticed that GBU-10 and GBU-31 do not explode on impact, at least here, while MK82 and GBU-12 work fine. Can anyone confirm please? I'm using FSX with Acceleration, Tomcat v1.10 and Tacpack V1.4.2.2 Thanks in advance Francesco

I see that someone else had already brought this up, but the thread was closed so I'm chiming in here as it definitely needs to be addressed. I'm loving the F14x but the gun effects seems to have been 'left out' as there is no muzzle flash or visible tracers when firing the gun with tacpack in v1.1 Any chance that this will be fixed in an upcoming update...maybe soon? Also had the bizarre issues with catapult launches not working (shift + space). The fix? Installing the acceleration /gold edition for steam instead of steam...

In the tacpack you can add Tacans to Carriers so is there a way to remove the tacans on the F-14X carriers so they will work in multiplayer?

I have been looking to get TacPac and noticed it's not supported in FSX multiplayer. Would any one know if this will change in the future ? also didn't know there was still support for multiplayer. Last time I did on line flying was back when MSN game zone hosted Combat Flight Sim.

I found out about the version 1.10 update for the Aerosoft F-14 from the section of this forum that is dedicated to updates and hot fixes, but all the guy says is you can find it in your "user account section". I'm not even sure I know what he means by that, and I can't find it anyware. I purchased the F-14 from pcaviator.com, not directly from Aerosoft, could this be why I can't find it?

Mon f14 me fait un crash collision apres une sauvegarde par exemple..sur tous les aerodromes..

I have activated my TacPack for the first time. I now see a "tag" above my F-14 when I am in spot view. It says " VRS Surrogate 0.0 nm xxx ft". My other TacPack enabled aircraft (Dino's F-14D) does not have this "tag". Any idea what is causing this? Regards, Bill

Hi All, I just fired up my Tackpack equipped Tomcat and for fun fired the cannon on the deck of the KittyHawk.I heard the gun noise, saw the rounds counter decrease, but saw no damage or tracer effects.Is this correct? Stan

Just a little question: is there any random malfunction incorporated into AIM-54 ? I had 2 stranges misses : 1st - The missile launched around 50Nm lofted over the drone after steep dive. 2nd- The missile fall dead of my aircraft on launch (no engine ingnition). I mean if it is the case it is ok for me. It ads some fun. But I just want to know if I missed something !
