May 24, 20179 yr .... Well, even if your name is not Mary, perhaps you can answer the following questions- providing you know the answer, of course. (please excuse me if sound like a newbie; but, maybe I don't have the tech knowledge that some of you see at a distance) Ok, here we go with the questions. (that song.. "Mary did you know" is now stuck in my head.) -- Will we be able to 'update/upgrade to V-4, or is this going to be a brand new sim, and we'll need to re-install everything from scratch? -- Has LM mentioned anything about the sim being able to use multiple cores, rather than single core? -- Are we going to be able to increase LOD to very high settings so even far away distant terrain look sharp? -- And last but not least (well maybe a wish, but who knows)... Will rain/ snow/ falling leaves gradually accumulate where they fall? Like at an airport or near a field?

Thank you for your answers. So, this means we have very long weeks of formatting, installing , and configuring ahead of us. Sounds good to me. I'm so excited and will surely not miss OOM message.

I'll be getting a new SSD for this purpose. As addons are made compatible with v4, I'll add them one by one while I continue to fly on v3. At some point, enough addons will have made the jump to the point that I'm happy to leave v3 behind. This should help avoid the hours and hours of sitting in front of the computer installing and configuring and getting no flying done. Walter Meier

Hopefully add-ons are quickly made compatible.
