INSTALLATION NOTES
-------------------
This installer will install all TacPack components for the purchased platform. Note that Prepar3D and FSX versions of the TacPack are purchased and licenses separately. In addition, different licensing and prices apply to different variants of Prepar3D. Academic and Professional versions of prepar3D are sold under different pricing and licensing terms. Please see EULA_[FSX][P3D] for the terms of license. The following information only applies to the version you are legally licensed to install. The TacPack Manager must be activated immediately after installation! Attempting to install and run an unlicensed version will cause the TacPack to crash soon after launching the simulation. 

PREREQUISITES
-------------------
1) .NET: The TacPack manager requires Microsoft's .NET 3.5 framework. .NET is pre-installed on Vista and Windows 7, but if you run Windows XP, you may need to install it manually. You may download it from here: http://www.microsoft.com/net/. Note that even though you may have a later version of .NET installed (e.g. 4.5), the 3.5 components must ALSO be installed since .NET 4+ is not fully compatible with .NET 3.5.

2) Direct-X 9.1c End-User Runtime (current version)

INSTALLATION:
--------------------
1) By default the installer will attempt to locate your simulation root directory automatically. If the installer fails to obtain the correct installation directory, please browse to the simulation (FSX or P3D, depending on license) root directory manually. 

2) If you own the Superbug, you must update it to the most recent version AFTER installing the TacPack.

4) This installation will create a folder named VRS_TacPack in [FSX|Prepar3D|prepar3D v2]\Modules folder. Do not rename this folder at any time or you will need to either restore the original name, or reinstall the software.

5) Upon completion, the installer will prompt to launch the TacPack Manager (TPM). Depending on where you purchased the TacPack, or whether you are updating or doing a full install, the TPM may need to be activated. As always, your activation data (license ID and password) are located either in your original sales receipt, or in your retail packaging.

Thank you and enjoy!
