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.
Why it matters: "Shame of Jane" works because it trusts small details. It doesn’t sermonize about failure; it listens to the texture of it. For anyone tired of tidy pop narratives, this is a reminder that songs can be sympathetic without smoothing edges, and that compassion can coexist with sharp observation.
Tarza X’s "Shame of Jane" is a compact, bruised gem: a song that folds grit into melody and leaves a sting you don’t notice until it’s already stuck. From the first guitar figure there’s a deliberate tension — not quite punk’s rush, not quite indie’s wistfulness — but a fuse between the two that lets the lyrics land like small detonations.
Musically, Tarza X balances jagged guitar lines with a restrained rhythm section. Production is close and slightly raw, preserving breath and scrape so the emotions read as lived-in rather than staged. A brief bridge (or a spare instrumental break) offers a moment of clarity — a melodic line that almost promises redemption — but the resolution is deliberately withheld. That unresolved ending is the track’s smartest move: real lives rarely tie up neatly, and the song resists offering an easy moral.
