Can't arm bombs

[CDNflyer]

I've got the F-4E with Tacpack and I've followed the instructions to arm and drop bombs but the ARM light on the station select panel won't come on. I also don't see a selection for the trigger, pickle button or weapon release in the Tacpack configuration. I'm running the stand alone version of FSX. Hopefully someone can help.

The trigger/pickle buttons are set in the VRS TPM. Our AMS control config is only for features TACPACK doesn't do. Can you show a screenshot of your front cockpit please?

No pilots in the cockpit

I assume the VRS TPM is the module that allows you to set various joystick commands including weapons? What I've got is the Milviz Menu Manager which came with the F-4 purchase and Milviz MVAMS which showed up when I bought Tacpack. Each has some similar settings like trim and flap selection. The MVAMS also has WEAPONS but no selecton for trigger or pickle button. Am I missing something? Also I noticed that even though I've got it set for ready to fly it still starts up Cold and Dark. I also just noticed that there are no pilots in the plane in flight. I hope you can help as I was looking forward to both the Phantom and Tacpack.

Urm....Do you actually have VRS TACPACK? The Milviz Menu Manager is no longer used for the F-4E and the Milviz AMS is where you set the custom F-4E commands. VRS TACPACK is a separate product sold by Vertical Reality Simulations, not Milviz.

Yes I do. Purchased August 24. I actually just tried to reinstall it but no luck.

Ok I just fully read your last response. What is the Tacpack Addon that I bought from Milviz? I thought that's what I was buying!

And I quote from the F-4 product page:

Vertical Reality Simulations' TacPack software offers stand-alone weapons and warfare platforms for Flight Simulator X and Prepar3d. It is a payware product, and is not included with your purchase of the TacPack Addon Milviz Milviz F-4E Phantom II. A working installation of the TacPack software is required for full weapon functionality and gunsight integration.
