Great pictures! The F-8 is available for FSX? HAJO Right now, it is available for FSX and P3D but without Tacpack or the ability to display any weapons. There currently is no release date, or even an estimated release date, but I'm fairly certain that when the Tacpack version is released, it will be for both FSX and P3D. It depends on how well it works on whether or not it will be released. That being said, while I'm testing it (on the same system) in both FSX and P3D, I prefer to test in P3D, since everything just runs better and smoother. FSX struggles with frame rates and can't handle the AI anywhere near as well as P3D, which is pretty critical for FSCAI. I have to say that while the regular RFN Crusader is a fantastic freeware airplane, the Tacpacked version is going to push it up to a whole new level.

Vintage Era : 80's, 90's... Back then, F-4s, A-7s, F-104s, F-5s, Mirage F1CGs flew together in Greece's sky. Here, an Mirage F1CG intercepts a Phantom over Aegean. An FSCAI air combat result...

Very nice screenshots of NATO "cousins" who don't get along so well! Vintage Era : 80's, 90's... Back then, F-4s, A-7s, F-104s, F-5s, Mirage F1CGs flew together in Greece's sky. Here, an Mirage F1CG intercepts a Phantom over Aegean. An FSCAI air combat result...

"Cousins" ?... no way... Greeks & Turks share nothing in common (civilization values, democracy, religion, human values, intention&purpose, to name a few)... "NATO" ? Is Turkey still in NATO ?... Have you checked that with their president ?...
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
With aerial combat ability of FSCAI, all pieces of the puzzle exist now and the picture can be concluded...
So, I've started building the project I have always wished for : Hellenic Airforce Vintage (& Modern) I'm optimistic that same abilities will exist in MSFS2020 in time also...

I think an interesting Greece/Turkey scenario would be 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus.... which was a complete air, land and sea battle.
At sea, there were numerous naval engagements. On land, there were amphibious landings and airborne operations (both with paratroops and airmobile troops). There was apparently lots of AAA to deal with on the island too. In the air you have Greek F-4, F-5, F-84, F-102, F-104 fighters along with HU-16B and NORD 2501 transports going against Turkish F-5, RF-84F, F-86, F-100, F-102 and F-104 fighters along with C-130, C-160 and C-47 transports and UH-1 helicopters.
A few of the above mentioned airplanes would need to be Tacpacked, but it would be a very interesting scenario to run.

Indeed and there is a photoreal Cyprus scenery also. I have already worked in such a scenario in the past, long before FSCAI obtained current abilities in Air combat. You may have a look here : fscaptain.proboards.com/thread/3936/thoughts-why-bother?page=1&scrollTo=25109I may revisit my previous work for a campaign style gameplay scenario. And FSCAI weapons for user can be sufficient enough (guns exception) since I don't have Tacpack for P3Dv3.

If I can find the order of battle for both sides, I'll try to come up with a list of ship and vehicle objects that can be used for it. I would not bother with anything P3dv3 related. I tried and tried to get it set up for scenarios and it never worked very well. This is just my opinion, but I think P3Dv4.5 is the best version to go with. Native FSX aircraft work fairly well with it, Tacpack for it is stable and it seems to work OK for multi-player.

Dean Thiessen In my opinion, P3Dv4.5 is the best way to go anyways, since it can use both FSX native and P3Dv1/2/3/4 models together, so everything I am trying to convert/develop is targeted for v4.5.

I have 4.5 and 5.1 installed and all the 4.5 aircraft work in 5.1 including fsx versions.I still think 4.5 in excellent and I like having tacpack mixed in but 5.1 is anther level of immersion for me...this one has been long in coming both fscai and tacpack apparently the code is very complex for v5 and requires extensive rewrite and of course that damn msfs ruined the party for me lol.
