Yes I understand that. However, the version I want is the P3dv4 version. Since this is still in beta, I would be buying it for the beta version. 

Cheers.

I don't see the issue here? I'm using it in V4.

The 717 is not PMDG grade but I enjoy it. FYI Leonardo said their new version of the the MD80 they hope to have ready by the end of the year. It has been in beta a couple of months now. I believe it will be a great study level aircraft. The only thing wrong with the one now is graphics are a bit dated. Might be worth considering for     if you're unsure about the TDFi state of completion.

If you purchase the Leonardo available now you will get the upgrade for a discount when released.

FYI there is a new beta update for the 717.

TFDI's definition of beta isn't what the state of the CRJ is, it's come a long, long way since release and buying it now would most certainly not be like buying an early beta, more like a very mature beta with just a few more bugs to iron out before release.

Vic, have you seen the screenshots?
To my eyes the Leonardo version to come looks amazing, especially the VC if this is what you mean.
As far as I remember Bryan York wrote somwhere it has to be the best looking VC he's ever seen.

Hi Folks,

Watched some of Dave's Twitch videos flying the NEW Mad Dog - looked pretty good to me and all new...

Regards,

Scott

Yes I have and can't wait. Breaking my heart to see airlines retiring the MD but that's progress I guess. Leonardo was ahead of his time with Fly The Maddog.

OK can someone clear this up for me...

If it's my understanding if you purchase the 717 TODAY:

1: An official stable version for P3D V4 hasn't been released.

2: If you want to use it in P3D V4 you will need to download the Beta Version? Which is free and available to anyone?

1: YES

 

2: YES

The thing about their beta is that they not only improved the plane in several respects but they added like TrueGlass and RealLight. How many beta planes actually added a fantastic window environment without paying a cent more. These guys deserve some business. I'd sure like to see PMDG, or FSLabs upgrade their windows to P3Dv4.1 expectations for free.

I am having a bit of difficulty figuring out what versions of Leonardo can be purchased now.

I think FSX?

Any versions of P3D?

T45

Just FSX, I’m pretty sure.

TFDi Design 717: Approaching 1.1 Posted on November 30, 2017 by Collin Biedenkapp

 

This really is a superb fun short haul aircraft.  As per the link above the developers announced the end of the beta period this morning and the current 'state of play' will be encapsulated in the stable release - very shortly.

I thoroughly recommend it!
