Good timing since the VRS Tacpac has also now reached final *closed* beta status and so the $29.95 pre-order price will be going up to $34.95 on Feb 15th.
VRS is very pleased to announce that we have entered closed beta for the TacPack for FSX. The current number of issues coming back is relatively low, which leaves us fairly confident that we'll be able to enter an open beta sooner rather than later.
THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO OPEN POSITIONS IN CLOSED BETA, SO PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT US WITH REQUESTS.
Once again, OPEN beta will be available to ALL preorder customers as soon as closed beta is complete. You do not need to email us, you just need a forum account and your TacPack preorder. If you are not a VRS customer, you will need a copy of the Superbug for FSX in order to obtain the TacPack. We will notify you via email when open beta has begun, and we will also post an announcement here.
Once again we thank all of you who pre-ordered, and we would like to remind potential TacPack customers that the preorder promotion will end on 2/15/2012 12:00 AM PST. Note that this is NOT a ship date. You simply won't be able to preorder beyond that point, and retail sales will begin only after shipping. We intend to ship the software only after we're satisfied that beta has completely run its course. At that time, all existing customers will be notified via email and the retail TacPack will be available as a download from your customer page. Please refer to your TacPack or Superbug invoice for login details.
The TacPack will resume full retail pricing of $34.95 after release.
We're almost there, and we're sure you'll find it was worth the wait! Thanks again for your patronage.
I finally pre-ordered the TACPAC seeing as how it is likely on final for landing.
