Is P3D V 4.2 release imminent?

Featured Replies

As per Pete Dowson FSUIPC Updated Modules page,

"IMPORTANT: 5.123 and later versions are only suitable for use with P3D version 4.1 and later!  They will not work correctly with version 4.0.

Version 5.123 will work fine with the next P3D4 update."

Is P3D V 4.2 release imminent?

Yep.. 

Last week someone wanted to know how to un- and reinstall V4 and Rob A advised him to wait a bit ...

1. Seemingly smoother performance

2. A performance decrease between 1 and 30 fps

3. A performance increase between 1 and 30 fps

Every new release has all these three new and exciting features so I'll consider this competition won. :cool:

Dynamic lighting not being fixed

I can see you are all pessimistic already..

As a developer I can't wait for this release as I know it has some fixes for SimConnect that I need, so cheer up! LM is improving the platform.

This is probably based on the experience with some former point updates which were underwhelming, at least for the normal simmer (i.e. neither defense contractor nor developer). There are quite a number of minor and not so minor issues going round the Lockheed Martin forum which many users experience but never have been addressed. There has been another AVSIM thread just a few weeks ago listing them.

I write this as I like the Prepar3d platform, but there is undoubtedly competition and LM has to face it. X-Plane has a growing market share, and if you ask me, AeroflyFS2 has the best display engine available these days w.r.t. display quality as well as performance, by a wide margin. 

Lockheed Martin's own defense/in-house contractors may be tightly bound to them but even flights schools, commercial enterprises (I was in a commercial full-motion simulator running Prepar3d lastly) might turn to another platform if LM doesn't address these issues.

Kind regards, Michael

The best or the most performant? Personally, I do like those screenshots and videos from AF2, the lighting is nice, the sim runs superb regarding FPS and such. One monster-drawback it has: there is no water rendering. Personally, this kills AF2 for me, it simply looks ridiculuous if the water is a flat photo-texture. As soon as this is "fixed", I might give some scenarios of AF2 a chance...

@Topic: personally, some improvements when using DL would be already sufficient to be happy with the update. And, if possible: it would be great if this annoying cloud shadow bug is gone. Plus: the terrain reflection bug I have. That's all ;-)
