F-15 f-14 on series x

currator

@dc1973 does the version sold on just flight for PC have operation weapon systems? I know you were saying third party does. And how do you define operational.

DC1973

@currator The Just Flight version still has its weapons, but all such weapons are visual only in MSFS, there are no active weapons ( yet ).

@dc1973 guess I need to get a pc to get the full function then. Does the current f15 and f14 have a radar mode to see other planes in the air. Have not been able to makes heads or tails? Or is this something coming later when the weapons will actually do more then be visualized

Derek

@currator It is highly unlikely MS will ever 'weaponise' MSFS. The days of Combat Flight Simulator are long passed. If you want to shoot things you need to look at something like DCS or War Thunder.

FSX/P3D has a TacPack addon - https://www.vrsimulations.com/tacpack.php - that adds a combat element, but no idea if that will ever come to MSFS. I suspect not.

DC1973

@currator Radar is not yet active in MSFS, although I do think some devs have got it working in some limited way.

As Derek says, there will never be live weapons on Xbox MSFS, due to the game's PEGI-3 rating.

@dc1973 I was referring to weapons on pc as you said yet in () marks

Derek

@currator
You can see weapons on PC, you can load them up and they affect handling, but you can't fight with them.

If you buy a PC version through MS Marketplace (or Steam) you don't get to see or load any weapons.
Same goes for an XBox version - you can't see them.

currator

@derek but if they are bought 3rd party you can see them and no other further plans

Derek

@currator

How do you mean third party?

currator

@derek from vendors like just flight to run on pc

Derek

@currator

OK - Just Flight is the first party - we publish it obo DC Designs. And yes, buy direct and see guns/missiles. Buy on MarketPlace or XBL, see no guns/missiles.

currator

@derek I take it no way to side load on Xbox. Looks like I am going back to pc

Derek

@currator

Not the PC version, no. You can only get an XBox build via Microsoft.
