Another thread beautifully derailed and off-topic...there's goes my daily checks for the latest in P3D 3.0 rumors/news.

+1

:Shame On You:

Yeah , windows 11 is the go, p3d v3 is old news

Normally a thread such as this would have been locked a long time ago. Perhaps the Moderators are quietly hoping our meanderings off topic will distract us all away from constantly badgering Rob to release more info regarding Prepar3D V3.0.....

 

Oh Rob, while it's on my mind, can you confirm we will be hearing the long awaited announcement next week?

And I would like to know will the announcement be in the morning or afternoon.

Good point, we Brits need to get in quick while the Yanks are still asleep. Once they're awake the rush to download will quickly overwhelm LM's servers....he,he!

To be back on track: I hope (and think) LM has learned their lessons from the 2.x series. We certainly agree several of the releases (notably 2.0) have been rushed out without sufficient testing. It's my impression 3.0 (whatever it will bring) has been more or less completed quite some time ago but is still under heavy beta.

 

My take for the release is in fall, which would also comply to the 2yrs-release cycle of MSFS main versions. We all should be thankful to get a well-tested version. I for one am not intereseted in a quick 3.0 release followed by another buch of hotfixes in fast succession.

 

And, yes, version 2.0 had a preliminary announcement ahead of release which you can still find on the P3D portal.

 

Kind regards, Michael

I can assure you that even a 'slow' release of 3.0 will be followed by another bunch of hot fixes in fast succession.. That's simply how things work nowadays. There simply are too many possible computer configurations out there to catch every possible error or bug during beta.

Just as the new OS release, which has already had patches and a big patch scheduled for October. New software always has bugs now matter how long it is beta tested.  

Maybe you guys are right, but the 2.x series had some nasty bugs which anyone under any configuration experienced within less than one hour. Recall the trees autogen OOM bug in 2.2?

Yes, well, fixing one thing often breaks another thing... 2.2 isn't 2.0 so that autogen bug clearly was an example of that and has nothing to do with the release of a major new version like 2.0. Did 2.0 actually have many bugs...? I can't remember. I do remember that next versions quite often came with big new options and enhancements, like cloud shadows, not only bug fixes. In that regard I do hope already LM won't stop at 3.0.

Yes but only once.  And it's already happened.  The monkey's name was Shakespeare

So, basically we have no idea what so ever what improvements 3.0 will bring.

LOL Pretty much. Over 200 posts of pure speculation. :smile: :wink:
