Great news!
I downloaded the new software a couple of minutes ago. I cannot install it, however, as it generates an error stating that a file could not have been created, then I'm back at my desktop. 
Do I need to install the TacPac first to use it with the Hawk?
Regards
Gunter

Hi,
Could you try redownloading it to make sure you haven't got a corrupted file. If that doesn't help then could you drop the support team an email via support@justflight.com and they will be able to look into it for you. If you could send a screenshot of the error along with it, that would be great. 

You don't need to have the Tacpack to be able to install it. 

Thanks
Rich

Hi,
This replaces the previous version. Uninstall your existing version and then install the latest one available in your account. 

Thanks

You're welcome. 

@Viking01 It seems like there is a glitch in the German language part of the installer. We'll get this sorted, but in the meantime if you can run it again and choose English or French this time then you should be fine.

Yes they are. I changed the way they work to make it easier to find the one you're looking for when they have been toggled off.

Hi Viking01.

I had the same, there must be something wrong with the German instaler.

Is there a manual to set up for TacPack drone takedown? I have spawned a drone in single player and closed in to around 0.5Nm behind it.
Using the gunpod, the gun burst open (with the gun sound also)for a split second, then discontinued to work. Also no missiles, or A/G bombs will not release from the rails. I have tried this in both FSX_SE and the boxed version to the same result.

I have downloaded the TacPack version. all set up fine, set the missiles as per Weapons control panel
( Mass to live, etc. etc.)  I am given to  understand that the weapons should fire ? nothing to tell me what to press to fire weapons, went to TacPack site it says use Shift + Ctrl + C (pickle) still no fire?

Look at my posts about the P3Dv4 Hawk and Tacpack. Gun fires, bombs drop but missiles and rockets do not fire. Raised a support ticket, all I got was "reinstall". Reported back that it didn't work but no responcefrom the support desk.

All weapons load for me but that is all, none actually fires I have done as per manual and also looked at the TacPac website no luck. Although it is nice to have the additional options to the aircraft and not wishing to criticise the excellent Just flight, but I do wish they would not imply that this is a full package with working weapons when it is not.

It worked just fine in FSX, but in P3Dv4 only the bombs work as they should for me. The gun does work, but the only effect is the bullet strikes on the ground, no sound or muzzle flash. Rockets will not launch and missiles are dead, no tone, no launch.
Possibly the problem is connected to the new 64 bit Tacpac, but it works correctly with the Milviz F-86 & F-100 and their Corsair. It also works with Dino's Typhoon and S-211.

Hi. Is there any news on this issue?

I have P3dv4 and am interested in all TacPack featured aircraft. The Hawk is on my wish list, but don't want to buy simulations that are not fully tested with 64 bit.

Sims that worked in FSX will typically not work n 64 bit, especially when there is complex code from a 64 bit add on like TacPack.

TacPack was recently "upgraded" with a patch for 64 bit, so this needs to be taken in consideration when using any aircraft with TacPack.

Best regards
