Many of us  are counting  on folks like you to install it on day one and then we can read posts for the next few months on all the add ons that don't work.....

We've all been there Bob.

Better sharpen your pencil and get lots of paper....

I remember when V3 first came out, a lot of people were distinctly unimpressed. It sounds strange in hindsight - given that most of us love P3D v3 now - but the reaction in the first couple of days was pretty negative. Hence my (2015) post quoted below seemed a little radical at the time...

"Checked in at Avsim last night to see how the P3d V3 speculation was going and - whoa! - noticed that it's out. Was a little suprised to see that, after all the months of excitement and random circular threads, there was a distinct lack of enthusiasm for the new release." 

 

Tends to be the way in aviation simulation: months of breathless anticipation, followed by weeks of rage once the sim actually gets released.

"Active sky/my FS9-port airports/my complex jets don't work"

PLUS

"This should be a free upgrade, why do I have to pay for this!"

PLUS

"Some things are different from what we had before!"

Eventually we'll all calm down, the people who were trashing it without having flown it will buy it and we'll admit in a year or so that this is the best sim we've ever used. 

We'll see how the v4 launch goes, maybe it will be calmer this time...

Well, if AirDailyX consider themselves as serious people, they should start streaming V4 in 15 minutes :-)

Arghhh....just saw a disclaimer " NOTE: Start time subject to change pending green light! "

You may need to check the timezones, 17:00z is 1 hour and 10 minutes away ;)

That's right! Sorry folks :-)
