July 18, 20178 yr Hi everyone, RE: P3dv4 I'm debating whether to purchase the Queen V2 or the 777, I have the NGX and would like to know if there are new features on the Queen V2 as I understand both the 777 and NGX have been made compatible with P3dv4 but no new features. Thank you. Bob Prince Bob Prince

Thank you. Bob Prince No. Apart from Dynamic Lighting, the features are the same for all 3 planes in Prepar3D V3 and Prepar3D V4, as far as I can tell. I get better framerate in Prepar3D V4 - but I think that's 'just' the sim. Best regards,--Anders Bermann-- ____________________Scandinavian VAPilot-ID: SAS2471

Thank you. Bob Prince They're not port overs as such. They've been completely recompiled for the 64bit sim using the latest SDK. But no, the latest updates were compatibility updates only. New feature updates will come later. Cheers, Chris Brand

July 18, 20178 yr Port-overs are just the same same set of files moved from one platform (f.ex. FSX) to another platform (f.ex. P3D) and then maybe a few very minor changes adde for compability. The PMDG P3D V4 files are equal in content, but re-compiled and thus not equal in format. Function remains the same, but different file sets.

July 19, 20178 yr On the 777 front, I'm pretty sure one of the micro updates gave the 777 the ground friction model from the Queen v2? (So that you'll actually maintain taxi speed at idle thrust as opposed to the old way of needing some thrust just to keep moving) Not sure if the same micro-update was pushed for the FSX version of the 777 though - so it could've been a new feature but not a P3Dv4-exclusive one.
