no weapon\tank visuals for the J and S models

Post by lancer27 » Mon Jun 19, 2017 7:09 pm

Hi, I bought the F-4E and J\S bundle a little while ago and they are by far the best simulation of the F-4, hands down. I updated from vA1.160306 to vA1.170424 for the E and also bought the TacPack for it. I also updated the J\S from vA1.160306 to vA1.170426. When I select the E from FSX and use the payload manager all is fine and good. The total drag index shows how much drag any weapons or tanks I apply to the aircraft is going to be. Switching to external views, I can visually see the weapons and or tanks I apply to the aircraft. Unfortunately when I select the J or S models and use the payload manager, all is not so good. The drag index does show the amount of drag that I am applying to the aircraft, but when I switch to external views, I do not see any weapons or tanks that I have applied to it. This seems to happen with just the J\S models. Does anyone know what I may of missed? Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

J and S are still not Tackpacked so you need to disable Tackpack when loading those planes to be able to see the payload

Disable the TacPack? How, may I ask, would I go about disabling the TacPack?

Go to your TPM, and under TACPACK general options set TACPACK loads to Prompt instead of Always. At sim start, you will get a request if you want to load TACPACK for this session or not. Say no when you want to fly the F-4S/J, and yes if you want to fly a TACPACK equipped aircraft.
