P-38L TacPack (second try)
Posted: Thu Nov 05, 2020 9:39 pm
[This is my second try. I shouldn't have tried the "save backup" option on the first try . My submission disappeared]
Most of the functions of the TacPack installation in my new FSX-SE installation of the P-38L are intermittent and/or inoperative. I have tried reinstalling with no change.
1. The switches for rockets and guns are located behind the control yoke. It requires a hard bank to reach them and of course they are not there with the yoke turned off.
2. The triggers are not visible with a correct pilot seat position.
3. The only release/fire command assigned by TacPack (trigger or keystroke) that works consistently is the bomb release. Sometimes the rockets fire.
4. None of the weapons show impact, except sometimes bomb and rocket impacts appear.
5. The gun tracers are intermittent. Sometimes they are visible. They are firing -- I can hear them.
6. All the rockets and the launch racks disappear when the rockets are fired, regardless of the single/auto selection.
7. The “manual” is beyond belief. It doesn't even include how to select the armament panel. It doesn't describe any interaction between weapons selections (guns and rockets together??). Is there inflight weapons reloading? The guns and rockets fire on the ground. And so on.
I know Milviz can do this -- I'm very happy with the P3D Corsair. Am I missing something? This is a new download and installation -- is there a hotfix missing?
Help!
