V4 Day One add-ons

[captain_adf 16]

If the winds of fortune blow favorably in my direction, by this weekend I might be loading up p3dv4 for the first time.  There seems to be a lot of consternation regarding what add-ons are and are not satisfactorily updated for V4.  The pinned updates thread hasn't been updated since June 10, so I'm hoping to gather some more current intelligence so I can stay focused on what will work and not waste time with stuff that doesn't.

I'd appreciate any guidance about the working or non-working status of these fine add-ons in V4:

Orbx base, vector, openLC

Active Sky Next

Rex 4 TD

Flytampa airports

Flightbeam airports

FSDT airports

Uk2000 airports

GSX

UT2

Vpilot

For the airports, I'm fine with disabling dynamic lighting if that's their only flaw.

Disregard.

Looks like an error in copy/paste in the above link. However, look at this:

Here is the info as best I know on legit v4 installers ready today...

Orbx FTX Global - YES, LC - NO, Vector - NO, Norcal and Socal Regions - YES, HD Trees - YES, Everything else - NO

ASN - NOT EVER - You will need to upgrade to AS16, and still, not ready yet.

REX4 - NO

Not sure about the rest of your list.

Yeah, I can't get my link to work right. Up in the stickies on page one there is a thread entitled "P3D V4 Add ons *UPDATES*" that I was trying to link to, but yours looks better!

AS16 is out in a Beta version, and seems to work OK.

Have you seen anything from them about an ETA on Vector? Seems that would be a bloody high priority for them. I know Pilots makes it but you would think being under the Orbx mothership they would be flogging them to get it released.

I follow their forum pretty closely and they give no ETA's, but it is a priority and it is certainly being worked on.

At least I have Global, HD Trees, and four A2A aircraft running great in v4. I can wait for everything else - REX, AS16, Vector, and the full Orbx Library.

I have both openLC NA and EU installed and working normally in V4, are you sure it is not V4 compatible?

I downloaded and installed through FTX Central.

My bad you are totally correct. 

I don't own those and they are not showing in my Central.

Apologies for the misinformation.

I'd also add PTA to your list, it's got a v4 version that works great.  And go ENVTEX as it's ready to go and looks awesome, I no longer use REX.  AS2016 is a free upgrade to AS4, which you will definitely want, and if able add ASCA.

Airplane wise add A2A and PMDG to your list and you are rocking and rolling!

Just found the AS16 Beta for P3Dv4.

So happy about this.
