Still getting the "Pending " in the download section

 

Am i doing something wrong or does it just take hours/days to get the installer ?

 

Thanks Michael Moe

Hi Michael,

try using the addon manager to download the latest beta, as long as you "ordered" the beta in the addon section from the Client area you should be all set

You have to be enrolled in their Opt IN Beta, to be able to install it.

Then I had problem to install it for their Addon Manager and I found that was my virus protection who block the installation.

Hope this call help...

Waooo... I was a bit hesitant about buying this plane to use it in P3Dv4 but man... I was so wrong... this is one of my favorites along with everything from PMDG... I feel like regional aviation in P3D has been renew with this plane... before it we had Wilco Embraer/CRJ and Flight 1 ATR but as we all know they are VERY old... I'm still waiting for Majestic q400 and Aerosoft CRJ for V4...

If TFDi develop the Embraer 170/175/190/195 I'll be the first to buy it...

[ieydis 51]

They have come a long way with this bird thought it still has a host of issues.  The developer has been amazing responding to their customers and the plane just keeps getting better and better.  

At this point I almost don't miss the PM737.

Well...almost...

How good is the TFDi 717....  PMDG quality?

[molleh 451]

It is definitely not PMDG quality, but you also pay far less for it... that being said it is still nice and as ieydis said, it has been seeind steady improvements. Personally I'm not touching it again until it's truly stable and reliable.

After waiting literally years for the Aerosoft CRJ 700/900,  I bought the B717. It's a pretty nice rendition, but recently I installed the beta version of the B717 for P3d V4, thinking that it would be a good  step up. Unfortunately, the frame rate hit is pretty significant in V4, even for a complex tubeliner (15-20 vs. 35-40). TFDI is still working on improving performance in V4, so it probably won't be too long before the two versions give comparable performance. I'd say on a very narrow scale with the low end being the Aerosoft A320/21 and upper end being the NGX, the TFDI B717 is somewhat closer to the NGX end of the scale and definitely worth the price, at least for P3d V3.

Yes . Quite good aircraft reminding me of the good old SAS MD80/90's days. I also struggling a bit with performance. Lower fps than the PMDG fleet. 

Thanks Michael Moe
