Installed FSX and downloaded VRS Superbug and Tacpack which I got in 2015 (don't go to secure.softwarekey.c*m in your purchase email as it always asks you to pay for "Renewal & Upgrade", just go to their support forum and the installers are there to be downloaded, no additional charge).
From my POV, we haven't seen any sophisticated military aircraft available for MSFS (probably Dino's F-35 is an exception but cant be compared to the great VRS). It's a drawback really when Microsoft decides not to support armamant equipped addon in their platform. Perhaps, I am not the only one who longs to see the continuation of their superb breakthrough in MSFS? Will MSFS 2024 remain a pacifist sim?
There are indeed enough specialised software and simulators for war lovers, probably a vast majority of games are about fights, wars, conflicts of one kind or another. This contributes to a particular mindset that war, after all, is not that bad and can be fun!
The DCS full world map is coming, and likely going to get here long before tacpack in MSFS. Once that exists, there will literally be no reason for tacpack in MSFS... So it does seem like a waste a time to even start working on it.
Contrary to the various opinions expressed above, I do NOT wish for MSFS users to be prevented from using any feature or functionality, just because somebody believes it's better this way. MSFS can and should be any kind of simulator, weaponized or not.
Those who want to practise dropping some bombs or rockets on some targets, or dog fight together, or shoot some missiles are anything, should be allowed to do so as well, and I really can't see why it could be a problem for anybody here. I do not see what kind of interference you would ever get from that. Wishing for MSFS to keep limited to civilian aircraft and functionalities is just unbelievably selfish.
Concerning VRS and TacPack, this will simply never happen. We should be glad enough that TacPack and the SuperHornet were adapted to the various versions of P3D. If it takes them that long to model the twin-seats Super Hornet, it probably means they just can't do it.
Instead, I would be glad to pay for an official extension for MSFS to make it weaponized. Made by Asobo, or other *serious* third parties. Additional income for them, additional enjoyment for us. And no, DCS is not an option. I have DCS. I have the Mig-21 and the Tomcat addons for DCS. Flying the VRS SuperHornet in FSX/P3D was much more enjoyable for me. I just wish it would be more advanced (refuel, carrier ops and such, not the ridiculous gimmicks we had in FSX/P3D).
