been away for a while but now i'm back and confused

Recommended Posts

So I started playing p3d again and i currently have v4. I see that the latest version is 4.2. Do I need 4.1 first then update to 4.2 and do I have to do another complete install again? I really hope not because I have so many add ons. I also just purchased just flight traffic global and it says it's for p3d v4 but no mention of 4.2. In addition, my favorite add on super traffic board states that they will only make updates for p3d v4.2 and on. So the question is how do all these work together if one supports this version and one supports that version. I thought working together was the big feature of p3d. I can't keep up with these updates and wonder when they will release a final version. Thanks

I believe all you really need to do is install the 4.2 Client and you'll be good to go.  Neither the Scenery or Content modules are mandatory.  Be sure to uninstall the 4.0 Client module first, then install the 4.2 Client.  Your add-ons will be fine, although some of them will need to be updated for compatibility with 4.2.  Also, no need to go to 4.1 first. 

As for a final release version, don't see that happening anytime soon.  P3D is a successful commercial simulator and will remain in constant update mode as LM continue to add features and improve the simulation for their customer base.  That's the price you pay to have a simulator in continuous development.  I agree it can be disruptive, but I much prefer things this way than having it cease development like FSX in 2006.
