TacPack® and Superbug™ support is now available for Prepar3D® v6 covering v6.0.26.30799 through v6.0.34.31011 (HF4).

Customers who wish to continue using TacPack for P3D 4/5 may still obtain the 1.7 update from the Customer Portal as usual, provided your maintenance is in good standing. If not, maintenance renewals may be purcahsed from the customer portal under license details.
For additional details, please see the Announcements topic in our support forums. If you have any questions related to upgrading or new purchases, please create a topic under an appropriate support sub-forum.
