• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hi,
I switched to P3D from FSX SE a couple months ago. However, one of the things I was interested in was the combat capability in aircraft such as Vertical Reality Simulations' Tac Pack. Unfortunately, before researching the addon for P3D Professional, I bought the F18 and Tac Pack products not realizing that Tac Pack won't work with my version of the simulator - and that it only works in P3D Academic Edition. I did some further research into alternatives, but it seems like VRS is the only one. I checked out the P3D manual and saw that they have a section on the SDK, which has a weapon creation section. What software would I need aside from the SDK to make custom Air to Air and Air to Ground Weapons for the default aircraft? Any help you can provide is appreciated.

Regards,
Kevin Davis
 
What reason are you referring to? That the VRS Tac Pack doesn't work with P3D Professional, or that you can add weapons with the SDK?
 
The built-in weapons system in p3d only works in the professional plus version, not academic or standard professional versions.
 
SimSkunkWorks vACMI weapons systems work in P3D v4.5 academic and I would think they would work in the standard professional version since they are add-on and not built in.

Hi Roy,
I checked out some of the aircraft on Sim Skunk Works' site, but they made it seem like their products are no longer available online. Are you sure that they're combat-enabled? Thanks again for the reply.

Sorry for the delay, just saw this.
SSW used to sell direct but now do it through others indirectly online.
For combat enable you use the free download of vACMI available from SSW.
