Please post all queries regarding the F-4E ADV on the McDonnell Douglas F-4 E Advanced Support Phorum.
For access, drop me a line with your order number (same as usual).

Dear Oisin,
I have your F-4E Standard, Advanced and TacPac versions. In the information about the updates for P3Dv4 it was stated that I should first install the Standard version and then the Tacpac addon. But should I not install the Advanced addon also, or is it incorporated in the Tacpac version? I would not like to miss the Advanced features!
Thank you for your help.
Best regards,

Standard, TP and then ADV

Hi,
sorry to intrude, but, reading the ADV product page, I read:
"It is also compatible with the existing TacPack add-on for the F-4E, but does not require it."
Do I understand well that, while waiting for the VRS TacPack update to v4 I can install the Standard ad the ADV versions alone? Or must I install the TacPack version too in the order you gave in the former answer (Standard, TacPack and ADV). I'm asking this since after installing the Standard and ADV versions I got an error message about a missing module.
Thanks for any help,
Fulvio

You can install the TACPACK version into v4 without any worries. Though TACPACK features will be inop till TACPACK itself is made v4 compatible it should still work just fine.

What module is missing?

Hi,
the issue is on this file, but this is simply because it's related to an add-on livery of a F-4J placed in the "E" folder.

Fulvio

All clear, thank you, Colin.

Fulvio, use the latest update.. that should fix your issue....

Not quite. The update was only for the F-4J/S, not the E. Checking where that error message comes from.

I have just reinstalled the J and S F4 and my view button on my joystick has stopped working.FSXA win 7 64 bit.

The usual requirements anti virus off user accounts off etc

Help would be appreciated.Recalibration of my joystick did not cure it and all other buttons work fine.

Cheers Chris

You got it assigned in the AMS likely.
