T-45C Goshawk updated to version 2.66...


***************************************************
NOTE: VERSION 2.65 HAD WRONG ANTI-CHEAT KEYS.
KEYS HAVE BEEN UPDATED IN VERSION 2.65
***************************************************

Following the release of Tacpack version 1.4.1.6 (which introduces training bombs), here is a small upgrade to the T-45C Goshawk. I took the chance to introduce some fixes and add a couple of user-requested features like the 2D MFDs. Download from the side bar as usual.
VERSION 2.66
- FIXED TACPACK ANTI-CHEAT KEYS
VERSION 2.65
NOTE: BEFORE INSTALLING THIS VERSION YOU SHOULD COMPLETELY DELETE THE PREVIOUS ONE.
- Added (subtle) environment reflection to the external visual model
- Added working training bombs (requires Tacpack 1.4.1.6), to implement this payload stations have been changed as follows:
  applying 125lbs to wing pylons will make the bob rack appear; applying 25lbs to the auxiliary stations will make a bomb appear.
- All A/S weapons in Tacpack are now released by pressing the Pickle
- It is possible to pick CCIP option in the MFD/STRS page.
  Note that neither the CCIP or the manual depression reticle have been tested for alignment and they are almost a gimmick.
- Added station direction indication for VORs to the MFD-HSI page
- Added station direction indication for Tacpack-spawned Tacans to the MFD-HSI page
- Added station direction indication for NDBs to the MFD-HSI page (fictional, added for training purposes)
- Added ILS needles to the MFD-ADI page
- Fixed minor backlighting bug in Virtual cockpit
- Fixed minor texturing bug in Virtual cockpit
- Added code to provide automatic retraction of the launch bar
- Added pop-up 2D MFD panels (SHIFT+5 and SHIFT+6) - soft keys on the 2D panel are controlled via "touch screen"
- Minor tweaks to low speed flight dynamics
- Tweaks to .fx effects (should get rid of the infamous red blinking of the VC)
- Manual (finally) upated to reflect recent changes

All,

version 2.65 had the wrong TacPack multiplayer keys. I have updated the files to version 2.66...

For those who have downloaded version 2.65 and plan to use it in multiplayer, here is the link to the Tacpack Keys only (they must be placed in the main T-45 folder)...

Indiafoxtecho: Dino, "sorry to be giving you 'bad news'... " is an English native expression, so don't let it upset your native Italian sensibilities; it means more like saying, "sorry to be the one giving you unintended unhappy results after all your hard work to make it such a well functioning product;" understanding that your are not doing a payware product that requires that level of completion or accuracy. But, since you stated that these were things you hoped were fixed, I wanted to get back to you quickly in order that you might find *time* to fix things before your vacation. I'll send you an email shortly, I got busy with life, too, so sorry for the late response. PS: I also found issues ( or *bugs*) within the Aircraft.cfg file and had to do some MODS to make things work there. And, the already mentioned TacPack Load Manager issues, etc. Please see attached Animated .GIF (size: 28.7MB) needs downloading to view in IE, FireFox, etc. browsers https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByiktF_QHMzCVzR2Sm1OWFdoXzA/edit?usp=sharing

Grazie & Ciao,

From,
