"FS is a civilian simulator".... not anymore.

[Daube]

Hi all,

I'm posting this here because this is not only about a new addons, it's about a new era in the whole FS world.

We've been hearing remarks like "FS is a civilian flight sim, if you want to fight, go with Lockon or Falcon 4"... This is about to get wrong.
VRS, the creators of the famous Super Hornet, are progressing further with their TacPac addon.
TacPac will bring real weapons into FSX, including Free Flight and Multiplayer, giving to the Super Hornet its full potential as a military plane.
See the video here:

Another very good news is that a VRS will also provide a SDK to add combat-capability to any ohter aircraft, which means that the Super Hornet will not be the only plane able to shoot weapons.

This is, to me, a complete new step for FS, it's like the return of the CFS series, but better.

I think I just died....




no wait that was a missile that just hit me.


Can't wait to get this . I am def preordering this. Already see a good bit of super bugs in the air.

Ok, guess I'm going to have to get a Superbug after all. And learn how to use multi-player.

This is something I have dreamed about for FS for a long time. I have wanted what we already have, as I enjoy the civilian flights, but to be able to fire weapons that really work and see the results is icing on the cake. Thanks for the heads up.

And simv community will have to set up days where we do dog fighting, and such.
Some how get a bot too would be nice, so people dont camp others on the ground.
(Like hippyhappy german server)

I hope the weapons effects can be adapted to spacecraft.   [smiley=evil.gif]

It'd also be nice if someone could come up with a "Bad Guy (TM) AI" package...

Exciting stuff just what my Rhino needed. Brilliant work by the VRS team. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Would love to give this a try in multiplayer, if someone is brave enough to take me on.

Third-party aircraft drop-ins to allow BASIC integration with other aircraft

Hopefully this means I'll be able to add Sidewinders to my C152 and A319.

you know we are
Like I said, we should make a simv combat server once it is live.
Have basic rules like no camping people at airport, etc.

Awesome.......I will also have to figure out multi-player

it's about a new era in the whole FS world

a new era that its about to be erase/destroy by something calls "Flight"

If Flight provides the same open architecture as FSX, then this phenomenom will continue throughout the Flight lifetime. Thus the new era in the "FS world", not limited to FSX
