TacPack® and Superbug™ support is now available for Prepar3D® v6 covering v6.0.26.30799 through v6.0.34.31011 (HF4).
While the TacPack v1.7 update is primarily focused on obtaining support for P3D v6, other changes include TPM performance and visual upgrades as well as the removal of the legacy requirement for DX9c dependencies.
TacPack and Superbug v1.7 is now available for anyone currently running P3D v4 through v5. v1.7 supports all 64-bit versions of P3D including v6. If you are currenrtly running v4 or v5 TacPack licenses, you may upgrade to a v6 license at up to 50% off the new license price regardless of maintenance status on the previous license. Any existing maintenance remaining on the previous license will be carried over to the new license.
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.
VRS SuperScript is a comprehensive set of Lua modules for FSUIPC (payware versions) for interfacing hardware with the VRS TacPack-Powered F/A-18E Superbug. This suite is designed to assist everyone from desktop simulator enthusiasts with HOTAS setups, to full cockpit builders who wish to build complex hardware systems including physical switches, knobs, levers and lights. Command the aircraft using real hardware instead of mouse clicking the virtual cockpit!
SuperScript requires FSUIPC (payware), TacPack & Superbug for P3D/FSX. Please read system specs carefully before purchase.
A leaf-spine IP Fabric using VXLAN-BGP EVPN. 4x Spine switches (100GbE), 48x Leaf switches (25GbE to servers, 100GbE to spines). Orchestration via Ansible and a Network Source of Truth (NetBox).
An IP Fabric with EVPN Multi-Homing (ESI – Ethernet Segment Identifier). The fabric stretched the legacy VLANs across a DCI using EVPN Type 2 routes over a WAN.
A dual-leaf IP Fabric with intelligent load balancing. Using VXLAN with native ECMP (as opposed to static LAGs), the fabric performed per-packet or per-flow load balancing depending on configuration (e.g., flowlet switching).
A white-box IP Fabric running SONiC (Software for Open Networking in the Cloud). 64x 100GbE spines, 256x 40/100GbE leaves. VXLAN with EVPN Type 5 routes (IP prefixes, not just MACs).
Note: This paper synthesizes documented outcomes from publicly available case studies from Arista (e.g., Microsoft, LinkedIn), Cisco (e.g., eBay, PayPal), Juniper (e.g., DreamHost, Riot Games), and open-source SONiC deployments.
