TA-4J for Flight Simulator X Beta Test




As promised, and due to the large number of requests, I have created an FSX version of the TA-4 Package (which should work also on P3Dv2 and v3).

With respect to the P3Dv4 version:

- There is no backseat/instructor cockpit

- The 3D materials are "traditional" (as opposed to PBR)

- The radar image is based on the old FSX mapping service (as opposed to P3D "true" radar rendering system)

Apart from some other minor details, pretty much everything else is the same as the P3Dv4 version...including flight model, options and system simulation.

The package will only work with FSX:A, FSX:SE, FSX:Gold...and should work (but it is not tested) with P3Dv1, v2 and v3.

Before releasing the package, a quick Beta test is needed, but it will be limited to few testers.
If you want to apply for the testing, please send me an email with "TA-4J BETA FSX" as subject and specify:

- your CPU, GPU and RAM

- OS

- which version of FSX you are using

Ideally the testers should have flown the P3Dv4 version for a functionality comparison.

Please find below the usual Bugs/Change request list (I expect it to be EXTREMELY short as we solved a lot of bugs in P3Dv4...fingers crossed)...
